CONFIDENTIALITY OF SENSITIVE INFORMATION?

MR. Kampa could you please provide a real life example?

BELOW: IN THE LAST MEETING AGENDA PACKET CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL APPEARS TO HAVE BEEN PUBLISHED FOR EVERYONE TO READ.

?????????????????????????????????

Lake Don Pedro Community Services District Special Meeting of February 16, 2016

AGENDA SUPPORTING DATA
CLOSED SESSION
Background
The District completed the purchase of the 16.5 acre Medina property and well in May 2015. In addition, the District has developed new Well 5 on the same property in a location east of Medina well. Currently, the Medina Well and Well 5 are connected to the District raw water tank using a temporary above ground PVC pipeline. The temporary pipeline is located across property owned by Don Pucilowski; who owns the property between the District’s yard and the Medina property.

Mr. Pucilowski was gracious enough to give the District the right to install the temporary pipeline across his property, with the expectation that it would remain in place until the wells were tested, construction finished, and a permanent easement obtained for the location of the permanent buried pipeline. The temporary pipeline has remained in place longer than expected due to delays in receiving funding, therefore we have been compensating Mr. Pucilowski $300 per month for the inconvenience. We have paid for the months of August 2015 through January 2016; a total of $1800.

Attached is the legal description and map of the proposed easement, an airial view so that the easement location can be easily seen for this discussion and a calculation of the possible value of the easement. The calculation is based on the value of the land if purchased fee title; and since Mr. Pucilowski will retain title and use of the land, the amount we offer will be less than the purchase value. However, we have to consider that we absolutely need at minimum the easement from Well 5 through Pucilowski’s property to Merced Falls Rd. If he rejects our offer, we can go through the eminent domain process, but the time required could add a couple months and several thousand dollars in legal costs.

The purpose of this agenda item is to receive direction from the Board regarding this real estate transaction. I recommend that the Board give me authorization to negotiate up to a maximum of $10,000 for the well pipeline easement and $15,000 for the backwash line easement. Of course my first offer will be below the purchase value shown on the attachment.

Recommended Motion
Motion to authorize the District negotiator to make a purchase offer for the necessary easements.

DO AS GM PETE KAMPA SAYS AND INSTRUCTS

WHEN TRAINING STATE AND LOCAL POLITICIANS

AND MISCELLANEOUS

PROFESSIONALS IN THE WATER INDUSTRY…..

NOT AS HE DOES?

Please allow me to preemptively respond to what  some viewers might think at first.

• I am not criticizing office staff
• Understand a rushed preparation for a “Special Meeting” can result in mistakes-especially when trying to get timely public notice posted so as to catch everyone off guard on a four day weekend when the courts were closed on Friday and Monday.
• Regardless of the above, the GM and President of the Board are the ones responsible for setting the agenda, planning the meeting and confirming satisfactory production of necessary supporting material
• Considering the fact this information was publicly placed on the internet on Thursday February 11th, 2016 and already accessed by untold parties, I do not believe it  “confidential” any longer, if it even was.
• Nit-picking, maybe.  So what?   Really isn’t that important anyway.  I mean it’s not like PETE KAMPA, EMERY ROSS and DANNY JOHNSON WHO ALL AGREED THAT WHEN THE PROPOSED GROUND WELLS WERE FINISHED THEY WOULD NOT BE USED TO FURTHER EXPAND OUTSIDE MID POU PROPERTIES. 
• I was apprehensive about voting for the emergency water restrictions because of the mention of emergency grant money to be used for the wells in the recitals for the resolution under consideration.   I vividly recall Danny Johnson previously (another meeting)  advocating that grant money would pay for everything so “my MID POU issue” really didn’t matter.  Oh really?

I did indeed vote for that drought emergency resolution and would do so again based on the same fact pattern – regardless of the lack of integrity confirmed by those who will say or do anything to achieve their goals.

“Of course my first offer will be below the purchase value shown on the attachment.”

GM KAMPA on his strategy for negotiation.

How did that work out Pete? Did the owner see the agenda item before you negotiated?
