Hey there!  OK, in the two last posts we took a look at a fairly well prepared LDPCSD Annexation request that LAFCo “conditionally approved” and designated the Lake Don Pedro CSD as the “conducting authority” to proceed with the annexation

“AFTER

proper notice and hearing subject to the following condition of approval:  The Lake Don PEdro Community Services District shall provide water service to all future development within the annexation territory.”

Apparently the terms and conditions of that approval were somehow changed to what was actually produced and presented to the public:

“WHEREAS,  the Local Agency Formation Commission has authorized this Board to approve this annexation without notice and hearing and without an election.”

When I fist discovered this statement of how LAFCO permitted the LDPCSD to conduct annexations without notice or hearing –

(so that the MR WECs of the Lake Don Pedro subdivision – who pay the bills WOULD BE UNAWARE of this major property addition into the district that was outside the legal PLACE OF USE for MERCED RIVER WATER under WL11395 and thus would require an expensive groundwater substitution program for the approved project as well as FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS WITHIN A LARGER TERRITORY),

PLANNING/LAFCO officials appeared confused about the statement indicating such would not be approved by LAFCO.  (This is similar to the map posted on the LDPCSD website which KAMPA states was produced by LAFCO, but it also was not according to the LAFCO Executive Officer.)

 

I have an idea (scary huh?)  I’m going to try to create a page with some of the important LAFCO – LDPCSD ANNEXATION RESOLUTIONS posted so you viewers can compare them side by side.  Perhaps we’ll be able to update this page as new annexation resolution information is made available at the county site.

OK, if this works, when you select the below link it should open a page with a bunch of RESOLUTION LINKS from both MARIPOSA COUNTY LAFCO and the LDPCSD.   Now for the FINAL SOI REPORT for the LDPCSD in 1987, it is a PDF file (first page displayed) and viewers can move through the document by using options located at the bottom left hand corner of the page.

Cross your fingers!……

(every time I try something like this ….well, I just hope it works.)

 

 

LAFCO and LDPCSD ANNEXATION RESOLUTIONS

 

ENJOY!  My best to you and yours, Lew

 

 

 

Let’s see now…..

 

LDPCSD RES 95-4 (May 15^th, 1995) correctly identifies the property to be annexed in the first paragraph of the document and references that it be annexed into the LDPCSD according to Resolution 94-3 (June 20, 1994) 11 months earlier.  (I recall reviewing much material including metes and bounds survey, map, and documentation of meeting Environmental issues and proper notification – seemed to be one of the better annexation approvals but the project was abandoned also.)  A reading of this particular resolution is interesting in that it appears to first REQUEST AN ANNEXATION at the beginning of the resolution but then continues as though it had already been approved by LAFCO at the end.

“T Corners Land Limited be annexed to the LDPCSD in accordance with Resolution 94-3?”

WHAT IS RES 94-3?  Let’s take a look – (Please notice there are helpful page numbers!)

OK, any deals with MID (Merced Irrigation District) are postponed for later and when annexed but check this out:

“…shall have the same rights and duties as if said property had been a part of the District upon its original formation…..”??????

Is this annexation now subject to subdivision CC&Rs?  Will it pay annual assessments to the Lake Don Pedro Owners Association?  Be subject to a violations committee notice? etc.   NO.  Then how could it possibly have the same duties as if a subdivision lot legally entitled to Merced River water because it is within the long established boundaries of the residential subdivision which is also the POU under WL11395?

When the district was formed (PER CPUC JANUARY 1981 approval of the transfer of facilities and assets to the new LDPCSD) the State of California clearly identified the SERVICE BOUNDARIES as the SIERRA HIGHLANDS SUBDIVISION which would later become the Lake Don Pedro subdivision.  Heck, that decision even stated the new LDPCSD (and its mandatory customers of the LDP subdivision) would not inherit previous line extension and water agreement deals made, or proposed to be made, between Sierra Highlands and these other outside POU property owners.

It also appears as though the MERCED IRRIGATION DISTRICT (MID) was prepared to obtain water rights with yet another annexation into the LDPCSD.   Why is it that the MID, holder of WL11395, will permit annexations into the LDPCSD service area which their license clearly could not serve without an expensive groundwater substitution program?  Did they know  something was coming?  Seems to me the MID was receiving a VALUABLE WATER RIGHT from the annexed property owner yet passing the “consideration” or payment for that benefit (future water service by the LDPCSD) totally on to the innocent MR WECs of the LDP subdivision by making them financially responsible for developing the “ALTERNATE SOURCE of WATER” necessary for that development.  See what I mean?   MID gets a water license (Counties get to permit and tax the development) owner gets to land develop with expensive groundwater, and the innocent property owners of the subdivision get to pay for the whole deal – forever!

 

BUT WAIT!  The owners of the subdivision would never approve such a thing…..RE-ENTER co-conspirator PETE KAMPA who will use his expertise and political connections to exploit a legitimate State wide emergency drought  to secure state and federal grant money to develop groundwater wells with which to create a massive “alternate source of water” (under guise of assisting the already decades old exploited MR WECs through the drought) for the thousands of acres of LAFCO ANNEXED LANDS he assisted in setting up 20 years ago!   Humm, sweet scam there Mr. Pete you are one piece of work.

All the players in this despicable GROUNDWATER SUBSTITUTION SCAM receive an obvious benefit while MR WECs of the subdivision are surreptitiously stuck with an ever-increasing perpetual financial liability for as long as they own their Lake Don Pedro  subdivision property.

Oops.  Back to the resolutions.

But what about that other RESOLUTION referenced in 95-4 in the second paragraph?  Remember, the other LAFCO RESOLUTION?   First annexation in accordance with RES 94-4, but then 95-4 also references LAFCO’s March 28 1995, RES 95-1 determinations and approving the proposed annexation to the LDPCSD of territory described in Exhibit A..

So, first 95-4 takes us back 11 months to 94-3 on June 20, 1994 and then again back to March 28 1995 for 95-1 which contains the TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF ANNEXATION APPROVED  by LAFCO, and then (THIS IS THE SURPRISE):

95-4 STATES:

“WHEREAS, the Local Agency Formation Commission has authorized this Board to approve this annexation without notice and hearing and without an election”.

but wait! IF 95-1 states the terms and conditions of annexation approved by LAFCO, shouldn’t we take a peek at that?

ding, ding, ding….our studio audience says  “HELL YES!”

LAFCO RESOLUTION 95-1

OK approving RES 94-1 which is?  (BELOW)

OK, RES 94-1 must be a LAFCO RESOLUTION NAME, but why name it 94-1 if there is no corresponding LDPCSD RES 94-1 REQUEST FOR ANNEXATION?

NOW WE KNOW PROPERTY IS ONLY 20.01 acres, it is located in Tuolumne County, in the LDPCSD SOI, signed by all property owners within territory, [There it is!, LAFCO assigned the name “Annexation No. 94-1 to the Lake Don Pedro Community Services District” – so it was a LAFCO resolution, right? But why 94-1?],

and approves an unattached “Exhibit A” and designates the LDPCSD as “conducting Authority” authorized to

“conduct proceedings for the Annexation

AFTER

proper notice and hearing subject to the following condition of approval:

The Lake Don Pedro Community Services District

shall provide water service

to all future development

within the annexation territory.”

WOW. Talk about a “blank check”!!! Approving only a portion of “territory” but agreeing to all other land as well!

How did such an important term and condition become the District’s RES 95-4 statement:

“WHEREAS, the Local Agency Formation Commission has authorized this Board to approve this annexation without notice and hearing and without an election.”

Annexation was then evidently approved per the resolution and MR WECs, as usual, was again advised squat – other than to just keep paying more for monthly water service charges, rates and fees for the continuing special benefit planned subsidized water service for all LAFCO ANNEXED PROPERTIES INTO THE DISTRICT.

I wonder how long it is going to take before all the annexation records are available on the Mariposa County website?  I am really curious about some other annexations.

 

 

My best to you and yours, Lew

 

 

 

TRACKING LDPCSD RESOLUTIONS CAN BE DIFFICULT

Especially for a “lay person” like me untrained in the intricacies of the annexation process, but here are a few things that made it difficult to follow what appears to be a meandering process fraught with missing paperwork, dead ends, and similar document designations.

For instance, the exact same RESOLUTION IDENTIFICATION NUMBERS regarding “VARIOUS ENTITY ACTIONS” are used by and between two different public agencies, the MARIPOSA COUNTY LAFCO and its special district creation, the LAKE DON PEDRO COMMUNITY SERVICES DISTRICT.   RESOLUTIONS with identical names were also not always related or concerned with LDPCSD annexations into the district. The bi-directional nature of these RESOLUTIONS consisted of, 1) Requests, or APPLICATIONS FOR ANNEXATION into the district service boundary the LDPCD sent MARIPOSA COUNTY LAFCO, and, 2) LAFCO ANNEXATION APPROVALS (often CONDITIONAL upon other events occurring first with instructions on how the LDPCSD should proceed with the annexation), or other related information.

NOT CONDITIONAL APPROVALS AGAIN?

OH KRAPA! 

Not a conditionally approved action again?

(aka, IF “THIS” then “THAT”)  as in,

IF within the Lake Don Pedro Subdivision, property is entitled to Merced River water service per WL11395.

Did we not just learn what apparently happened with a CONDITIONALLY APPROVED WL11395 DIVERSION OF Merced River water by the STATE WATER BOARD for the SOUTH SHORE CLUB (La Ventana) ANNEXATION PROJECT (off Bonds Flat Road between Hwy 59 and HWY 132) which proposed another residential subdivision and golf course complex in 1993?

That the project was abandoned for failing to meet specific STATE CONDITIONS FOR APPROVAL?

And that PETE KAMPA apparently obtained or was privy to a “shape file” of that project (likely while employed and involved with aspects of the project during his first LDPCSD employment tour between 1994-1997) documenting the PROPOSED POU (Place of Use) EXPANSION for MERCED RIVER WATER USE–

IF conditions were met and the development approved for construction?

And somehow, that 1993 “shape file” information which ONLY DOCUMENTED A PROPOSED POU BOUNDARY CHANGE (if conditions met), was entered into CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF WATER RESOURCES official records as having been APPROVED in 1993 WITH A POU change – WHICH DID NOT OCCUR?   Yet PETE KAMPA later relied upon that “shape file” to represent a POU change on the OFFICIAL LDPCSD WL11395 POU SERVICE AREA MAP created with a Board approved $35,000 digital mapping project, although the final product map doesn’t even mention or illustrate the legal POU for Merced River water per  WL11395?  Geez – will it ever end?

THE BIG QUESTION:  

HOW DID A FAILED PROPOSAL FOR A POU CHANGE END UP IN OFFICIAL DWR RECORDS AS REPRESENTING AN APPROVAL WHICH WAS APPARENTLY LATER USED FOR A HOST OF ACTIVITIES INCLUDING GRANT APPLICATIONS TO THE STATE AND FEDERAL GOVERNMENT FOR EMERGENCY DROUGHT RELIEF?

Anyway…..

LDPCSD ANNEXATION NUMBERED REQUESTS FOR APPROVAL sent to LAFCO were also sometimes renamed by LAFCO with another system of identification during the approval process which further complicated later tracking within respective agency records (BUT PLEASE REMEMBER – I DO NOT POSSESS ALL THE ANNEXATION RECORDS YET – SO WHO KNOWS HOW THEY MAY EFFECT RECORDS ALREADY OBTAINED?  (ie, Rescinded, modified, replaced, destroyed, etc.)  For example, I read a resolution which rescinded a bunch of LAFCO rules and regulations of the past and replaced them with new policies, so without such information a researcher could mistakenly believe a particular violation had occurred during a certain year, when the rules governing that issue had actually been changed and, therefore, no violation occurred according to the new rules in affect.)

Some LDPCSD RESOLUTIONS are documented as definitely having taken place in LDPCSD Board Meeting Minutes with an approved motion for the Resolution creation and subsequent approval vote by the board of directors, yet the RESOLUTIONS themselves have completely disappeared from LDPCSD records!

Some LDPCSD REQUEST FOR ANNEXATION RESOLUTIONS referred to by LAFCO do not exist.  The exact resolution name may exist but the LDPCSD resolution has nothing to do with annexations – so they are apparently also missing from records – or were simply “replaced” with a “Red Herring (bait to lead a questioning individual “off the trail”) to further obscure the record.

One particular LDPCSD RESOLUTION, 95-2, is apparently used twice as an accepted procedure for two separate property annexations into the LDPCSD.

Often LDPCSD RESOLUTIONS, especially in the 1990s, do not even identify the property to be annexed!

Many LDPCSD RESOLUTIONS also refer to an attached EXHIBIT which is rarely attached to the RESOLUTION DOCUMENT as stated.  (The Resolution will not ID property but refers to EXHIBIT A for specific details…..but no Exhibit A is attached!  Like a “JOKERS WILD” ANNEXATION FORM!)

The below LAFCO RESOLUTION OF ANNEXATION APPROVAL did not clearly identify the property either, except for a few letters of the project name which could be observed on the unnumbered second page of the resolution which had apparently suffered a severe “copy machine error” which distorted important information in this official document.  Whose responsibility to make sure government records are copied and filed properly?  What assurance is there that this particular page was originally contained in this particular document?

<<<<<<<INSERT?>>>>>>>>>

LINE 24 (above):  Maybe it isn’t “Lake Shore Ranch” but “Big Whore Ranch”  or “Pay More Ranch”, etc. ?

lol

Had a little study mishap

A foot high paper avalanche

With no page numbering its all mixed up

Is LDPCSD an annexed Modesto branch?

LOL

 

Seriously though, I had a whole stack of these LDPCSD and LAFCO ANNEXATION RESOLUTIONS on my desk and when walking by accidentally brushed against them and to the floor they went.  What a (*&^%$ mess!   As I was “putting the stack back together” I realized it was impossible without page identification.   Rather like that Pringles commercial and the different clip flavors — “You just created Bar-B-Que spicy PRINGLES!”  or whatever….interchangeable!   Take page one of RES -01, page 3 of RES-04, and page 4 of RES -05 and create a brand new annexation resolution of approval on paper!   Add another unrelated “EXHIBIT A” and any location is a potential annexed property into the LDPCSD!  Not so lol when unscrupulous special interests are concerned. .

CONSIDER:  How many times have I harped on the issue of PETE KAMPA failing to properly notice “SURPRISE” “SANDBAGGED” information interjected into otherwise properly noticed (per Brown Act) information  at monthly meetings or  the concern about the unnumbered pages of official documents or pages in the agenda packet?  These Resolutions fall under the same principle because without clear identifying information as to what PROPERTY IS ACTUALLY BEING CONSIDERED on the face of the application or in an “ATTACHED EXHIBIT A”—-

ANY PROPERTY COULD LATER BE INSERTED

INTO THAT “STREAM OF MEANDERING and APPROVING INFORMATION”.

(Perhaps an “Exhibit A” bar napkin agreement and sketch for  a Mars Annexed Development (MAD) was quietly slipped into the stream so the LDPCSD (MR WECs) will be required to obtain AVAILABLE GOVERNMENT GRANTS for the funding of a Polar Water Thawing Project per MARS RESOLUTION LDPCSD 2038-2xlol)

HEY!  I KNOW…let’s follow one of these LDPCSD RESOLUTIONS and see where it goes – hopefully.  (Of course it may turn out to be a similar exercise as attempting to explain in writing how to tie a boot lace without demonstrating or providing graphical assistance – very difficult.   In fact, I have been using large 2’x4’ pieces of drafting paper in order to layout some of these resolutions to follow their progression as they “hip hop” from “Resolution title to Resolution title” and refer to Resolutions that do not exist and attached exhibits that are not attached.  (Scotch taping legal pad sheets together didn’t work out so well.)

I will tell you this, I believe this RESOLUTION PROCESS and RESULTING MEANDERING PAPER TRAIL was intentionally created to make any future annexation confirmation process difficult. 

Sorry, but I call that pure deceit and this mid 1990s garbage looks similar to the garbage produced since 2014 by Pete Kampa.  What a frigg ‘n coincidence, yeah? I don’t thing so.

READY?  HERE WE GO!  Let’s start with LDPCSD RESOLUTION 95-4.

Prior to jumping right into the meat of LDPCSD RES 95-4, (May 15, 1995 –  oh yeah, reminds me, — and the timing of some of these resolutions is very interesting as well)  viewers should be aware this resolution also happens to be the last one posted on the MARIPOSA COUNTY LAFCO WEBPAGE, UNDER THE TOP LEFT LINK HEADING:  LAFCO RESOLUTIONS.

 

You can check this out yourself with the below link:

 

INDEX OF LAFCO RESOLUTIONS ON COUNTY WEBSITE

 

At the risk of repetition – (BIG lol, right?)

LDPCSD RES 95-4 is the last resolution posted on the MARIPOSA COUNTY LAFCO WEBPAGE, under the top left link title:  LAFCO RESOLUTIONS.

“But why would an LDPCSD Resolution be the last and only “outside LAFCO resolution” posted under a heading for LAFCO resolutions only?” an observant and curious viewer might reasonably ask.

“Excellent question”, I would reply just before beginning another torturous blah blah blah long and drawn out explanation like –

I’m not sure but have mentioned this fact to Mariposa County PLANNING/LAFCO officials in one of my “reminders about the public information request” but considering they have ignored these requests while simultaneously failing to offer any explanation as to why the information cannot be furnished – I suspicion County Counsel for one legal reason or another has instructed them not to respond.

(loud crying) whhhaaaaah, waahaaaaah,……the….the…the…they….don’t……li…..li……li…….ike me!……wahaaaaa !

—-boo hoo hoo.hoo……the, eh ehy won’t ta  ta   ta   talk o to or re re re  spond to to to ma ma ma my requessssssssstssss….wahhh….whhaaaaaaaaaa……

That’s OK, I don’t care much for their lack of respect for citizens and failure to obey their own rules either.

ANYWAY, so the first question is, why is the below LAKE DON PEDRO CSD RESOLUTION THE LAST POSTING UNDER LAFCO RESOLUTIONS ON THE MARIPOSA COUNTY WEBSITE?

READ THIS CAREFULLY – ANYTHING “JUMP OUT AT YOU” that just doesn’t seem right?

 

<<<insert>>>>

I am seriously wondering if LDPCSD RES 95-4 (ABOVE) was posted by the County as plausible deniability and suggested evidence as to the identity of the actual responsible parties for what certainly appears to be wrongful activity.  Think about that for a moment. 

What if the County did lay out a conditionally approved annexation procedure – yet LDPCSD officials ignored those preconditions and “JUMPED STRAIGHT TO ANNEXATION” – in addition to previously providing incorrect information in the original application to LAFCO?

When I first saw the statement above in 95-4 I even asked Planning/LAFCO officials about it and they were surprised as well.

Tell you what, I have things outside that I have ignored for days and need to address – why don’t you check out that LAFCO WEBSITE and Resolution page (link above) , and I’ll pick up here on the next post?  I’ve got to get away from this monitor as well my eyes are tired.

My best to you and yours, Lew

 

 

Although there are still many extremely important LDPCSD applications to LAFCO for property annexations into the district, along with the corresponding LAFCO resolutions of approvals missing from the Mariposa County LAFCO (Local Agency Formation Commission) website for a complete analysis, and my original June 12, 2018 hand written request for information to the Mariposa County Planning Department/LAFCO along with a few followup questioning reminders that have apparently been ignored or denied for some reason, STILL OUTSTANDING, MISSING, OR UNAVAILABLE,  I did discover a LAFCO resolution which appears to address a question I have raised on this website a number of times (what? me repeat myself?  Nawww,  unheard of!  lol).

(ah, hum – clearing throat)

WHY WOULD MARIPOSA COUNTY LAFCO CONTINUE TO APPROVE ANNEXATION REQUESTS FROM THE LDPCSD WHEN THE LDPCSD COULD NOT LEGALLY PROVIDE THE WATER TO THESE APPROVED LAND DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS REQUIRING WATER TO DEVELOP?

Want to hear something “Twilite Zonish” about this Resolution – and others I have recently viewed?

I kid you not, it was like seeing a whole screen full of   “typed gibberish” on the F&*I(NG monitor!

Wait!….Should I be issuing a “SPOILER ALERT” or something?  Am I about to commit the sin of “jumping to the end of the story”?  You know, where someone tells you the end  or moral of a joke or story prior to you hearing the whole thing and thus ruining the surprise?

You know, think I just answered my own questions.  OK, how about……..(must imagine SCI FI music – I made some up, but just can’t afford the hard drive storage space for such, ah…(ah, hum -clearing throat) let’s call them diversions, from the primary topic shall we?)  {music…}

I have been “different” from other human beings as far back as I can remember and without doubt many from this world can attest to this fact.   Although there have been countless theories, clues, and suggestions as to the existence and use of time travel throughout my life in the many places I lived, I was never-the-less strictly prohibited by FAMILY from ever even commenting on the subject much less what others may have believed about me.  I could not acknowledge that such travel was indeed possible or the more important fact that I had routinely participated in such for various purposes required by FAMILY. Most viewers are undoubtedly familiar with the concept of potential and irrevocable harm backward time travel represents to the current time line of events (ie, going back and preventing birth of grandfather) which is why it is so meticulously controlled and regulated by the FTC (Federal Time Commission), STRCB (State Time Resources Control Board) and related local TRAs (Time Regulating Authorities) each with their own particular and draconian styled penalties for violation of respective regulations.   Sorry, I’m rambling and just need to get to the point.  This is difficult for me because I am concerned, well, a bit worried that the next regular Monthly Board of Directors Meeting scheduled for August 20 2018 has been cancelled because the FTC and/or STRCB or some other TRA, has located a document they contend constitutes evidence that I had again time traveled back to 1976 with the specific intent and purpose of “planting” LAFCO RESOLUTION 76-4 in COUNTY PLANNING RECORDS so I could now use it to raise questions regarding all LAFCO ANNEXATION RESOLUTIONS into the LDPCSD!

I know, I know, sounds far-fetched but next month’s meeting has been cancelled without reason and I know for a fact 76-4 exists.  IT WASN’T ME!  I SWEAR!  NO MEMBER OF FAMILY THAT I AM AWARE EITHER!  (But I sure would like to thank all of them)

Although LAFCO RES 76-4 does indeed exist – unless later abolished in one of the MANY RESOLUTIONS I CAN’T SEEM TO GET MY HANDS ON (maybe an investigation by ?….but wait, wouldn’t that be a simple explanation for not meeting the request, you know, “The County of Mariposa cannot furnish records because of an on-going investigation” or something?  You know, respond to the requester like they mattered as a citizen of this country.  “Sorry, but, the files you are seeking are …..{insert excuse}……Sincerely Government agency” , instead of  a non-response?   Nothing? Rather like designating me to a “nonexistent status” devoid of any substance or merit.  So utterly worthless a non-response by a public agency is perfectly acceptable?   Come on, still disappointed I did not fall prey to baited traps that have undoubtedly snared unscrupulous seekers of specific information in the past?  (You know, those poor clueless dumb asses who believe if they could only get their hands on originals and remove certain government records from a file (or IN THE ALTERNATIVE LIKE WITH PETE KAMPA & HIS CO-CONSPIRATORS (and patsies), BY INSERTING FABRICATED DOCUMENTS INTO THE SYSTEM) it would solve all their problems?)  Then again, maybe they can’t use the originals because of incriminating evidence so fabricated resolutions are being recreated for substitution (or obtained from the FILES OF OTHER cooperating agencies) to reconfigure historical files?  Gee, I sure hope not.  Yet, what the hell has Pete Kampa being doing?  EXACTLY THAT!   INTENTIONALLY FABRICATING A GOVERNMENT DOCUMENT TO MISREPRESENT THE TRUTH of a STATE WATER BOARD designated POU for WL11395.   Seems to me, even if a legitimate government investigating entity required particular files the County would just copy and provide sections at a time while  keeping the public access on the site open.  Then again, this being a new system, perhaps the ones missing, just happen to be the last ones to be posted……but shouldn’t they have waited for the entire enchilada meal to be prepared before serving to the public?

Gosh, I’m hungry now.

ANYWAY, I can PROVE BEYOND A SHADOW OF DOUBT I was not responsible for this document!  I did not go back in time and create or produce this document, nor did I instruct or encourage a member of FAMILY to create or produce this resolution.

 

wait….this sounds familiar…. not me, I didn’t do it, someone else, anything I’ve produced or had any hand in producing….COMES FROM THE FILES OF OTHERS……that’s all we know now….a movie?   Musical?  OH YEAH – let’s take

A LITTLE TRIP DOWN

“ALMOST MUSIC” MEMORY LANE

with that

ONCE IN A LIFETIME

NEVER A HIT

WORSE THAN LSD song!

I’ve got to take a break – this is freaking me out.  What if they find other Resolutions suggesting I was responsible for ……….???

🙂

(OK Back to our regularly scheduled posting)

Anyway, here’s LAFCO RES 76-4 which makes the original question even more curious and confusing yeah? (rem?  WHY WOULD MARIPOSA COUNTY LAFCO CONTINUE TO APPROVE ANNEXATION REQUESTS FROM THE LDPCSD WHEN THE LDPCSD COULD NOT LEGALLY PROVIDE THE WATER TO THESE APPROVED LAND DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS REQUIRING WATER TO DEVELOP?)

“SHOT IN THE DARK” THANK YOU MESSAGE –

YOU WERE VERY INSTRUMENTAL IN GETTING TO THE FACTS

(Although no one likes going where they are not welcome)

“Shot in the dark message” to the gentleman in the valley I spoke with a while back regarding this insane water situation here in Lake Don Pedro.  I believe you are an engineer or CAD drafting technician, perhaps both, I honestly do not recall. (I was attempting to find out how much it would cost to have a verifiable professionally produced map of the originally established service area of the LDPCSD based on the existing 11 page metes and bounds LAFCO field survey – (also a LAFCO RESOLUTION – 80-2 I think) since that particular map  HAS NEVER BEEN LOCATED IN 38 YEARS!

The primary thing I DO RECALL AND REMEMBER QUITE CLEARLY ABOUT YOU, although a complete stranger, was your patience, understanding and comforting reassurance that the problem was NOT ME, but rather, a status quo system where truth and logic are often lost in the application of curious government decisions and the ONLY SURE WAY to discover the truth as to what actually happened at the time was to physically go to the jurisdictional office and RESEARCH RECORDS YOURSELF BECAUSE GOVERNMENT WILL NEVER ASSIST IN ILLUMINATING THEIR OWN COMPLICITY IN SUCH APPARENT CONTRADICTIONS OF LAW AND OPERATIVE REGULATIONS.  (Is that why public records concerning this LDPCSD ANNEXATION MESS are unavailable?  Are they being “cleaned”, “sanitized”, “censored”, etc……?????)

Thank you so much KIND SIR!   Your “PEP TALK” was of great assistance during a time of exceptional personal frustration due to the CLEAR FALSE INFORMATION repeatedly presented to the public and other state/federal government agencies by the LDPCSD GM/TREASURER and his multi-year supporting Board of Directors.   I truly believe it is people just like you,

(a fellow citizen willing to listen to another citizen’s complaint of local government corruption, resulting dysfunction and waste of public resources for decades in their home community, who then, based on your own experience in battling such “suspicious or criminal forces”, suggests a proven method in obtaining critical information as to the truth)

who are, and will be, the “grass root heroes” for other patriots to carry on in reclaiming our country and system of justice from those determined to exploit and misuse our FREEDOMS and GRANTED PUBLIC POWER AND AUTHORITY for private special interest economic profit.  Again, thank you sir, if you can, drop me line – I’d enjoy explaining what I’ve found (and in some cases have not.)

OK, WHERE WERE WE?….oh yeah, have never received answer as to why LAFCO continued to annex properties into the LDPCSD water service boundary when the LDPCSD could not legally provide water.   I did, however, find LAFCO RESOLUTION 76-4 WHICH CHANGES

THE PRIOR QUESTION FROM:

WHY WOULD MARIPOSA COUNTY LAFCO CONTINUE TO APPROVE ANNEXATION REQUESTS FROM THE LDPCSD WHEN THE LDPCSD COULD NOT LEGALLY PROVIDE THE WATER TO THESE APPROVED LAND DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS REQUIRING WATER TO DEVELOP?

TO:

Why did MARIPOSA COUNTY LAFCO even CONSIDER ANNEXATION APPLICATIONS FROM THE LDPCSD IF THEY DID NOT CONFORM TO LAFCO RESOLUTION 76-4 IN DEMONSTRATING adequate water availability in the application?

July 2018

My best to you and yours, Lew

Guess we’ll just see.

(Heard that somewhere and it made a lot of sense – and still does.)

 

Sure seems sometimes as though regulatory and law enforcement divisions of California government trusted with the jurisdiction, authority and power to protect citizens from intentional government waste, fraud and crimes against the public – actually dedicate more emphasis, time and resources on effectively blocking LEGITIMATE CITIZEN COMPLAINTS than sincerely investigating, identifying and prosecuting offenders in the name of public justice and honest government. (No doubt the far majority of law enforcement officer’s and organizations are indeed honest, have integrity, and fairly represent the interests of citizen’s, but unfortunately, it only takes a few to destroy the hard earned good reputation of all.  I must also realize that “the wheels of justice grind slowly but exceedingly fine” – so although it may appear from the “outside” nothing is happening, correction takes time.  That’s the real bummer of it all.  The crooks know this, in fact, count on it, and can very quickly design and implement an environment (with public funds of course) to pursue their own personal/business objectives and rewards knowing any statutory or legislative enforcement correction will be extremely slow – years down the road – IF even instituted.

GOVERNMENT – CITIZEN “COMPLAINT HOCKEY”?

Citizens of California compromise one team, let’s call it, “CITIZEN COMPLAINT TEAM” and State Government another team we’ll call “COMPLAINT DEFENDERS”.  Every time a citizen team member smacks a legitimate “COMPLIANT PUCK” past the “COMPLAINT DEFENDERS GOALIE” – an investigation by law must be conducted.

The fist line defense of the “COMPLAINT DEFENDERS” is to stop that “COMPLAINT PUCK” from ever getting on the ice and potentially reaching the goal of a legally mandated investigation with the subsequent prosecution of offenders identified in the “CITIZEN COMPLAINT PUCK”.  The “COMPLAINT DEFENDERS” through the years have developed extremely complicated and explicitly defined legal requirements to insure “COMPLAINT PUCKS” meet their explicit attorney generated government specifications and are acceptable by the government for use as an approved “VALID COMPLAINT PUCK” for any proposed game to determine if laws of this State have been violated by individuals or organizations and deserve investigation.

The problem is, the “CITIZEN COMPLAINT TEAM” now must retain an expensive attorney to research and interpret specific government puck requirements to ascertain if the “CITIZEN COMPLAINT PUCK” satisfies established standards prior to any government consideration in scheduling a game.  Since “COMPLAINT PUCK SUFFICIENCY” is determined and regulated solely by government “COMPLAINT DEFENDERS” (who ironically sponsor such games with funds collected by CITIZENS of that state COMPLAINT HOCKEY GAME JURISDICTION), whether or not a “COMPLAINT HOCKEY GAME” materializes is essentially determined by whether or not the “COMPLAINT DEFENDERS” actually desire to schedule a game – evidenced by first accepting the  “CITIZEN COMPLAINT PUCK” submitted for game use.

If a “COMPLAINT HOCKEY GAME” is desired, the government will see to it the PUCK QUALIFIES FOR GAME USE.  Correspondingly, if a “CITIZEN COMPLAINT” proposes a game with which the government DOES NOT WISH TO PARTICIPATE (for one reason or another – including complicity with the underlying basis for the complaint) the game is not scheduled until strict adherence to the “pucking rule” is achieved.    (In other words, specifically identifying the COMPLAINT PUCK’S LEGITIMACY FOR GAME USE per an elaborate approval system which some suggest was designed, and effectively used, to prevent a substantial variety of “complaint hockey” games proposed by angry victim citizens.

                                                    EXAMPLES:

“CITIZEN COMPLAINT TEAM”  SUBMISSION                NEGATIVE RESPONSE BY “COMPLAINT DEFENDERS”

Color of game puck is BLUE.                                                           Incorrect.  Color is Cyan.     NO GAME!

Games will be conducted in light provided by Sun                      Incorrect.   Under light provided by Earth’s closet star.   NO GAME!

Team mascot is a GSD (German Shepherd Dog).                        Incorrect.   Mascot is a canine.  NO GAME!

So in other words,

will government “COMPLAINT DEFENDERS” ever

“GIVE A PUCK?”

to sincere “CITIZEN COMPLAINTS” and demonstrate support for their stated goals of protecting the public through investigation, identification, and prosecution of those who UNDER COLOR OF AUTHORITY AND LAW intentionally violate STATE and FEDERAL LAWS in furtherance of the private economic special interests of others ?

WHO KNOWS?

Here’s something that could conceivably break either way on this particular subject:

2018-8-20 Reg Board Mtg Agenda Cancelled

[Gosh, didn’t like the suggestion of meeting audio being available on the LDPCSD website?  lol]

 

Does it indicate just more “covering of tracks” by Pete Kampa, the LDPCSD Board of Directors, Merced Irrigation District, the Counties of Tuolumne and Mariposa;  the State Water Board; state and federal granting authorities; et al regarding the intentional fabrication of a PLACE OF USE map for MERCED RIVER WATER per WL11395 with a $35,000 Board Approved Kampa Mapping Project and continuation of their obvious intention to further expand a special benefit GROUNDWATER SUBSTITUTION PROGRAM financed by the innocent MR WECs of the LDP subdivision for private land developers our district has no moral obligation or legal duty to provide water?

<gasp for breath>

Or has some state entity finally decided to

GIVE A PUCK

and start

CONTINUE AN ALREADY COMPLETED EXCELLENT INITIAL INVESTIGATION 

(SWRCB Sep 28, 2017 NOV) that was also an apparent victim of HI-JACKING AND AN ATTEMPTED CLOSURE BY KAMPA OPERATIVES just like our LAKE DON PEDRO COMMUNITY SERVICES DISTRICT was HI-JACKED by the special interests of OUTSIDE POU LAFCO ANNEXED PROPERTY OWNERS pushing further GROUNDWATER SUBSTITUTION for their land development proposals with even more public funds?

Sure has the earmarks of 40 years of fraud against <MR WECs, yeah?

THANK YOU DEAR LORD FOR ONCE AGAIN BLESSING THIS

EXCEPTIONAL NATION!

Keep the faith brothers and sisters – it may not be what you originally envisioned – but there is always hope!

My best to you and yours, Lew

 

PS:

Strange, those Mariposa and Tuolumne County violations are still listed under the SWRCB website complaint determinations as occurring in Stanislaus and Sutter Counties.       July 20th, 2018/1520hrs.       Yup, grind slow.

 

 

 

I fear its quiet unannounced arrival

Have witnessed the effects before

Only minutes after occurrence

That panicked stare and more

A previously well functioning body

Now vessel blockage devastated

With crucial loss of blood and oxygen

In the brain, where my fear has waited.

 

Yup!  Mom is right, why push any potential for such fear becoming a reality by placing myself in situations where my frustration and blood pressure push the tolerance needle into the red zone?

There have been times when so tired and exhausted from the audio/video/posting work (but I’m still trying to meet some ridiculous self imposed “deadline” so I could get outside and do something more enjoyable), but the wrong “start position” for my fingers on the keyboard produced gibberish on the monitor.  Don’t know how to properly describe the length of time, would guess some very small fraction of a second, nanosecond?  Regardless, just a “blink” of connection with that  displayed monitor gibberish and the flash thought of such being a reality.  (You know, fingers in the right position on the keyboard but everything I keep typing is like password codes and gibberish on the screen because something inside scrambled the grey matter?)  Again, only a blink of thought but still a terrifying “what if?”

Of course there are no guarantees in such matters.  Just the opposite could be true, yeah?  Perhaps the computer work and frustration with the LDPCSD has actually prevented and delayed outside work that would have triggered something more than just heatstroke – a classic stroke or heart attack?  Maybe just a broken leg, or something?  Then again maybe some of you out there will be reading about such blah blah blah next year?   Or five or ten years from now?   Maybe much longer if my brain function can be successfully downloaded into some sort of bio-tech contraption?  Yeah, like on Futurama with Beck Hansen, Nixon, etc.  lol  (Bender cracks me up.)  Whatever.  Guess we just do the best we can with what we have and try to “go with the flow”.

Anyway, I am not quitting my STAUNCH OPPOSITION AT ALL, just refocusing time more efficiently in recognition of the fact attending meetings where DISINFORMATION and DECEIT has continued unchecked since 2014 is not healthy.   Video meeting presentations do not seem to have accomplished much to stop the continued hi-jacking of our surface water treatment plant and plans to develop even more expensive groundwater wells to serve the thousands of other acres of LAFCO ANNEXED lands.   sl  0idkljqbwh jkf;slkdk

Still do not understand why all these outside POU property owners do not pool their resources and create some kind of a special benefit zone of water service where they could develop their own groundwater well for such outside POU service.  Use our transmission lines, treatment plant, testing facilities, storage tanks and all that, but completely fund their own ground well and the added costs associated with that “alternate source of water”.   Heck, they could even have their own board which determines what properties are to be annexed into THEIR SPECIAL BENEFIT ZONE OF GROUNDWATER SUBSTITUTION.  Only difference would be the maintenance, repair and eventual replacement would be funded completely from their own isolated fund.   Every drop that comes out of that ground well would be used to offset the MERCED RIVER WATER leaving the subdivision.  <period>   The LDPCSD could naturally have their own groundwater wells in case of emergency.

(I wonder — if such a special benefit GROUNDWATER SUBSTITUTION ZONE could ever be developed, if those beneficiaries might be a bit more circumspect and apprehensive about adding other grandiose proposed subdivisions and high water demand developments to their private groundwater substitution POU zone which they had to financially support?  You know, because it’s always easier to gamble with someone else’s money, yeah?)

Anyway, sent the following email to Syndie (and others) today –

____________________________________

I contacted the LDPCSD office by telephone on Tuesday, July 17, 2018 inquiring about the cost of an audio copy of yesterday’s monthly board meeting.  I spoke with Anne who advised you were unsure what the cost would be but would advise me when determined.  Considering our audio recordings are now digital (you have provided meeting copies to me in the past) seems the cost should not be that great.  Regardless, please notify as soon as possible and I will provide payment.   I did not attend yesterday’s meeting but am extremely interested in a couple of particular aspects.

Regarding the digital recordings of our public meetings,

I request that the LDPCSD (like so many other public agencies and organizations already do) post our digital recordings of meetings on the LDPCSD website for customers to review and appreciate on their own schedule just like the digital monthly meeting agenda packets.  No doubt there are many customers who would rather listen to the meeting while doing something else at home rather than having to sit and read snippets of carefully prepared management censored material.

The thousands of MR WECs (Merced River Water Entitled Customers) of the Lake Don Pedro subdivision (both residential and out of area owners all over the world) should not be required to physically attend inconvenient meetings held in the middle of nowhere in Lake Don Pedro every third Monday of each month at 1300hrs just to stay adequately informed about a public agency of which they are mandatory customers due to property ownership in the subdivision. No customer should be required to voluntarily perform countless hours of work every month just to present these meetings on a private website (lakedonpedro.org) when the District has the means to provide such service on its own website.  (Such a service would also guarantee those customers could listen to a meeting without “personal opinions being interjected between portions of recorded meetings. WIN-WIN Lol!)

 

MR WECs are stakeholders with a direct financial interest tied to LDPCSD operations due to the obvious influence water availability has on their subdivision property values in a drought prone region.  They are not speculators looking to turn an easy buck with someone else’s water.  They are already greatly invested in their land, and water.  Current management policies and direction, with obvious director support and/or acquiencese, seems to forget that every single CPUC approved lot in the LDP subdivision has the unequivocal right to water service upon demand at anytime in the future.   Will that water be available for those who are entitled and paid for it since their subdivision property ownership?  I believe it is long overdue that our LDPCSD website is upgraded to include current and pertinent factual information as to how this district has been managed and directed since October 2014.  The mandatory MR WECs of the subdivision who must financially support this special district deserve no less.

Please have this request placed on next month’s agenda for consideration and advise when I can pay for, and pick up, the audio CD of yesterday’s meeting.

 

Thank you, Lew

Sp of a cotozem pf tjos state reqiests gpverm

So if a citizen of this state requests government investigation of what certainly appears to be continuing criminal activity within a local public agency using public funds and resources, the highest law enforcement entity in of State of California (which advertises to have personnel trained for such investigations to protect the public from fraud and waste of public resources) suggests that citizen risk what their grandparents may have provided their parents, what their parents provided them, along with ANYTHING VALUABLE accumulated or been granted in their life for use by private attorneys in an attempt to stop a public agency GM and his acquiescing BOARD from continuing to misrepresent easy to obtain facts that even a child could appreciate?

What the hell is law enforcement supposed to be enforcing?

My friend who had that stoke dropped almost ½ million dollars trying to get the County of Mariposa to obey existing local and state regulations regarding 1991 STATE RESPONSIBILITY AREA FIRE SAFE REGULATIONS REGARDING MINIMUM ROADWAY STANDARDS.  That “Developer convenience road” on their property was constructed 12 years after those FIRE SAFE REGULATIONS were passed.  The road construction violated several public safety regulations specifically enacted by the California Legislature to protect life and property from known and foreseeable harm due to SUBSTANDARD ROADWAYS in designated high fire severity zones.  My friend is gone – and left this world (shortly after her husband who was also my friend) with such worries in their hearts and minds due to greedy developers and real estate interests scamming another way to increase profit margins for themselves with an extremely dangerous road at another’s expense.  Mpme pftjos ,ales semse/    None of this makes sense.

Sometimes it feels like I’ve already had a one – just doesn’t make sense.

My best to you and yours, Lew

More on all this later – still, it is absolutely amazing at the unnecessary expenditure of time, effort, and public resources for such a simple issue.  The reading, understanding, and obeying of a service area boundary map established in conjunction with detailed written restrictions contained in water license 11395 regarding the PLACE OF USE FOR MERCED RIVER WATER.

 

My best to you and yours, Lew

HAPPY FOURTH & BE SAFE!

(Hey Mom!…..Like the Frog Choir? lol)

1)  The SWRCB investigation is continuing

or

2) the investigation was concluded with SWRCB acceptance

of a Kampa suggested remedy?

1)  The SWRCB investigation is continuing

or

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

And our studio audience says?????……

ding ding ding ding ding ding ding…….

NUMBER TWO!    NUMBER TWO!

INVESTIGATION IS FULL OF POO!

There is much more to PETE KAMPA’s recent attempt to fabricate yet another “official document” regarding WL11395 and its legally recorded PLACE OF USE for MERCED RIVER WATER and this “KAMPA MAP SCAM” requires and deserves a legitimate investigation by unbiased investigators untainted with the powerful deflective capabilities of an enormous state lobbyist organization like the CSDA (California Special Districts Association) where Pete Kampa has been an active Board member for almost two decades.

This apparent “behind the scene” closure of an active investigation is very suspicious. 

The investigation had already revealed the existence of even more water right violations than had originally been known and reported in the monthly Outside POU compliance reports to the Merced Irrigation District for 18 years.

Based on spread sheets furnished by the LDPCSD. state investigators also reported a potential Outside POU account addition in 2016 (in violation of existing Resolution 2012-4 that Kampa had attempted, but failed, twice to abolish).

The apparent “behind the scene” closure of the investigation was obviously PRIMARILY BASED ON MISINFORMATION PROVIDED BY THE NOV’s RESPONDENT.

The “state approved remedy” for this apparent quickly closed investigation was also suggested by respondent Pete Kampa.

The matter requires an objective investigation.

WHERE DOES THE CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE STAND ON SUCH AN ISSUE?

ADVISES CITIZENS TO RISK THEIR OWN PERSONAL FINANCIAL SECURITY ON PRIVATE LEGAL COUNSEL TO STOP WHAT APPEARS TO CRIMINAL ACTIVITY BY PUBLIC OFFICIALS ACTING OUTSIDE THE SCOPE AND PERFORMANCE OF THEIR PRESCRIBED DUTIES!

$$$

Intentional fabrication and corruption of official government records is a serious crime which quite clearly will continue to generate further problems as the misinformation meanders its way through an intricate communication network between various government and private entities.  This ever expanding “ripple effect” of corrupting influence within other systems will require increased use of public and private resources to identify, contain, control and hopefully correct such intentional sabotage of our public information system.   The substantial resources dedicated to system corrections could most certainly have been utilized for more productive and beneficial purposes.

 

Personally I believe there is even a far more serious and damaging result of such activity:

COMPROMISED GOVERNMENT INTEGRITY

and

DIMINISHED TRUST BY THE PEOPLE.

?????

 

Don’t want to be a “I told you so”, but, I told you so!  lol

 

This KAMPA DIGITAL MAPPING PROJECT turned out exactly as I warned when it was first proposed to the board.  Only a more sophisticated way for Kampa to distort the facts and obtain what he has been seeking for over twenty years – LDP entitled subdivision water for his LAFCO ANNEXATIONS set up when he was employed here the first time between 1994-1997.

If someone attacked you with a knife – why furnish them a gun?

Bogus FAX NUMBERS, wrong telephone numbers, misspelling of email addresses for complaint contact,  failures to recontact, LOST USPS CERTIFIED MAIL information requests, USPS REGISTERED MAIL NOT BEING SIGNED FOR AS DIRECTED, SWRCB INVESTIGATION RESULTS MISREPORTED on the SWRCB website,  false information posted on the LDPCSD website for years despite public complaints and challenges to the information, CSDA support for Kampa’s nefarious activities through such presentations as a TRANSPARENCY IN GOVERNMENT AWARD (valid if awarded for OPACITY IN GOVERNMENT), etc. all this and more has transpired with this KAMPA MAP SCAM.

The following six pages were to be sent to the SWRCB through a FAX NUMBER provided by MR. VASQUEZ, but for some reason the number he provided would not answer. Since I had not used it for a while I even tested my FAX through the HP site and it was sending and receiving properly.

Seems to me what has been failing and/or not working correctly, for one reason or another, are the humans involved who have apparently camouflaged their nefarious activities with innocent technologies that have been used to:

misrepresent the legal WL11395 POU;

produce and further utilize fraudulent government documents,

perpetuate a groundwater substitution program designed to circumvent 11395 POU restrictions

and expand a subsidized water service to private land developers owning LAFCO annexed properties outside the POU

which NOV RESPONDENT PETE KAMPA worked on two decades ago during first LDPCSD employment tour; and

to frustrate citizen complainants so they eventually give up and stop asking legitimate questions about highly suspicious

activities of their local public agency officials.

ANYWAY, here’s the information apparently not really wanted by the SWRCB despite assurance the investigation is ongoing, impartial, and additional complaint material would be accepted.

 

My best to you and yours, Lew

That is what LDPCSD GM/TREASURER PETE KAMPA and HIS BOARD OF DIRECTORS

would have you believe if another one of KAMPA’s infamous “sandbagging handout maneuvers”

at the Monday Board meeting passed!

(I’m so exhausted at first glace the above looked like

 “at the Monkey Bored meeting”

better quit soon.   lol)

Yup, a routine ploy by Pete Kampa to thwart any potential blow back questioning from the public that might possibly jeopardize or slow down whatever sneaky thing he is trying to quietly ratify at the time through his non-questioning bobble headed yes nodding Board of Directors.

This time it appears to be a KAMPA ORCHESTRATED (with knowing assistance?) QUICK & CONVENIENT END TO A STATE WATER BOARD INVESTIGATION already plagued with extreme internal difficulties in even getting it started but when violations were detected and reported in a September 28, 2017, STATE WATER BOARD NOTICE OF VIOLATION (NOV) , to LDPCSD GM/TREASURER PETE KAMPA, other highly suspicious errors regarding reporting the truth to the public occurred.

Once again,  (yes I repeat myself much but a couple of more meetings like yesterday’s and you may not have to ever hear it again!  Effective solution for both of us yeah?  lol) how could water right violation locations occurring in Tuolumne County and Mariposa County – detected through an excellent in depth 18 month investigation which finally set the record straight on numerous issues after decades of repeated false information to the MR WECs of the Lake Don Pedro subdivision by local real estate, speculative land developers and even some involved county departments and officials  – suddenly take a turn BACK TO THE DARK SIDE and incorrectly report to the public IN SOME SORT OF DETERMINATION on their own STATE WATER BOARD WEBSITE the WRONG VIOLATION LOCATIONS as Stanislaus County and Sutter County? (Sounds like that old Mariposa County Grand Jury foreman who intentionally misrepresented two images on this website by omitting embedded written explanations in his concocted portrayal to completely distort the obvious meaning when considered as the one image that it was.  These people are EVERYWHERE!   Maybe Emery is right, there are more evil people than good but I still don’t want to believe that.  Hang on –  have to dial a telephone number.)

(Was that NOV just routine SWRCB business?   Was there an initial serious investigation and attempt to reveal the truth that was interrupted with personnel changes for one reason or another?  Remember all the SWRCB job changes KAMPA discussed during several meetings and how difficult it was for him to eventually reach the investigators in charge because the SWRCB was moving personnel all over the place?   He reported calling time and time again to explain his KAMPAGANDIZED PERSPECTIVE OF THE TRUTH TO INVESTIGATORS.  What?  I thought Kampa was just supposed to provide the requested NOV response as required for SWRCB evaluation and further action, not participate in an ongoing one sided portrayal of the facts essentially having multiple “bites at the apple” to defend his actions and get his story straight, all the while continuing to misrepresent facts.)

Anyway, same situation as with my post that riled the SWRCB EMPLOYEES WHEN GUESSING ABOUT WHAT WAS REALLY GOING ON – this is what happens when the truth is intentionally withheld.  Reminds me, not to be disrespectful, because I seriously, honestly, do not know but wonder…. does the SWRCB have “safe rooms” or “protected environments” for sensitive employees who are miffed that a citizen questions the apparent, and suspicious, closure of an investigation riddled with incorrect information while investigators maintain an absolute refusal to accept further complaint information regarding continued blatant misrepresentation of the facts by the same perpetrator?

Anyway, the employee name is not important but I find myself in the same situation as this weekend of wanting to express some thoughts about all this that will no doubt again offend or disturb some folks.  I don’t want to upset people, Good Heavens it’s not healthy.  I understand.  I hear much disturbing information at LDPCSD board meetings every month and it is indeed frustrating to watch if you have some semblance of a conscience for wanting to do what is right.    My Mom says – forget it, you can’t fight city hall, why ruin your life over them, you can afford what ever increases they impose, no one else cares, why should you,…etc.  Sad to say, perhaps she is correct.   I know Liz hates my “time of the month”. 

(OH CRAP….IT WAS INNOCENT I SWEAR!!!  I DIDN’T MEAN ANYTHING BY IT SO HELP ME!   I JUST MEANT OUR MEETINGS OCCUR EVERY THIRD MONDAY SO THE TIME OF THE MONTH IS KNOWN AND BEEN REPEATED FOR YEARS AND MY DOG RECOGNIZES I GET UPSET AT THE COMPUTER AND DON’T PLAY WITH HER……NOTHING TO DO WITH A TEMPORARY BAD MOOD BEING ASSOCIATED WITH A WOMAN’S MONTHLY …… HANG ON….NEED TO DIAL A NUMBER)

So here I am again wanting to believe the best in people despite reasonable evidence that reliance on someone’s word or blindly trusting anyone is always a risky proposition.  Reminds me of another very interesting observation we’ll get to later if things continue TOWARDS THE DARK SIDE…….(errie music in background)

 

ANYWAY, I received my digital agenda/packet that was sent late Friday afternoon on Saturday morning which once again resulted in a screeching halt to more preferable activities in these beautiful foothills – that have unfortunately been cursed with a COMMUNITY SERVICES DISTRICT subject to many years of uncontrolled special interest corruption.

LDPCSD often sends the digital AGENDA & PACKET which contains controversial material to subscribers late Friday afternoon which guarantees insufficient time for customers to read the material and question any errors or outright FALSE INFORMATION during normal business hours with the meeting taking place on Monday at 1300hrs.

This partially explains why postings on this site just before a  scheduled monthly LDPCSD meeting often reflect an angrier and more aggressive writing style but that is only because I am angry and aggressively clicking away at the keyboard with an indignant sense of betrayal due to a hi-jacked local public agency that is selling, perhaps even giving away through known theft, the MR WECs most valuable asset and selling point of their LAKE DON PEDRO OWNERS ASSOCIATION PROPERTY – quality MERCED RIVER WATER from Lake McClure.

I was recently advised that my last posting was not well received by some STATE WATER BOARD EMPLOYEES and considered inappropriate and unfair in some respect which has indeed caused me to really think hard about what I post because believe me, you folks only get a fraction of what I write about this continuing garbage.   Much more on that later since I have pages of material I worked on until very early this morning and have repeatedly tried to send to a FAX NUMBER provided by a STATE WATER BOARD employee who assured me material I believed relevant to the investigation would be accepted (I was previously told not to send any information as the investigation was ongoing by this same individual.)  I confirmed the FAX number more than once with this employee advising I would be sending material very soon.  He made assurances of impartiality in the investigation which was a bit comforting as I was (and am)  becoming more doubtful about the validity of the investigation after seeing Kampa’s closure of the matter in his resolution.

Anyway, back to the agenda packet and PETE KAMPA’s JUNE 18^th, 2018 SURPRISE MEETING HANDOUTS ANNOUNCING A NEW WL11395 PLACE OF USE TO BE APPROVED BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS.   (Isn’t this exciting?)

Need to make a FAX TRANSMISSION call….

As mentioned in the earlier post before the meeting (about the SWRCB employee who apparently closed the case) there was NO MAP IN THE DIGITAL AGENDA PACKET or RESOLUTION.  THEY WERE NOT IN THE NOTICED AND CHRONOLOGICALLY NUMBERED PACKET PRESENTED AT THE MEETING, but on the boardroom table Monday there THEY WERE resting comfortably.   Kampa pulled that same gag with his second failed attempt at abolishing RESOLUTION 2012-4 in 2016 which PROHIBITED THE FURNISHING OF MORE SUBSIDIZED GROUNDWATER SUBSTITUTED SERVICE FOR ALL THE LAFCO ANNEXED PROPERTIES OUTSIDE THE WL11395 POU WHO ARE PROHIBITED MERCED RIVER WATER.

Yup, Pete did the same thing….the agenda packet page that should have contained the resolution was blank.  Empty.  Void of information.  Just like Kampa regarding concern for victims left in the wake of his march towards a Kampa&Kompany foothill water empire financed for perpetuity by ……..?

Come on…..you know this one……..

Right!

The MR WECs of the Lake Don Pedro Subdivision!

Using our public funds since the beginning to create, maintain and expand a special interest GROUNDWATER SUBSTITUTION benefit for private land developers.

First the PETE KAMPA WL11395 POU MAP: 

THE PRODUCT OF THE BOARD APPROVED $35,000 MAPPING PROJECT

AND FINAL ANSWER TO THE POU CONTROVERSY:

AMAZING!  NOT ONE WORD ABOUT WATER LICENSE 11395 on this map –

MUCH LESS DEPICTING THE ACTUAL POU BOUNDARY!

$35,000 BOARD APPROVED MAPPING PROJECT PRODUCT!

might as well have been drawn on a bar napkin

 

 

Now the KAMPA WL11395 BOUNDARY MAP RESOLUTION

PLEASE CAREFULLY READ AND UNDERSTAND THE FOLLOWING:

 

NOTICE THE AGENDA ITEM 5.b. TITLE DESCRIPTION which is part of the BROWN ACT PROPERLY NOTICED AGENDA and PACKET  states “Concurrence of the State Water Board Division of Water Rights”, which is factually correct since a  recently hired “Engineering Geologist with the Sacramento Valley Enforcement Unit, Division of Water Rights” was assigned a water right’s complaint and personally agreed with the information PETE KAMPA provided as to HOW, WHEN and WHERE THE WL11395 POU BOUNDARY HAD BEEN CHANGED 25 YEARS EARLIER.  ok?

NOW HERE’S THE TYPICAL KAMPAGANDA “BAIT AND SWITCH” SCAM:

The FORMAL RESOLUTION IS UNATTACHED TO THE PROPERLY NOTICED AGENDA/PACKET AS WELL AND IF PASSED BY BOARD COULD LATER BE MISREPRESENTED AS EVIDENCE THAT A LEGITIMATE SWRCB (STATE WATER RESOURCES CONTROL BOARD) DECISION HAD ACTUALLY CHANGED THE WL11395 POU.

IF IT DIDN’T PASS, THE UNATTACHED RESOLUTION AND MAP JUST LATER DISAPPEAR SINCE THEY WERE NOT CONTAINED IN THE PACKET.   (Plus without page numbers or with his page numbering tricks, ANYTHING COULD BE LATER QUIETLY REMOVED, REPLACED, SUBSTITUTED, FABRICATED,….etc….)

Hang on….dialing………

NOTICE: “….On June 13, 2018 the SWRCB issued written concurrence with the digital boundary maps provided by the District” – in the Resolution there is no qualifying “DIVISION OF WATER RIGHTS” following SWRCB.

State Water Resources Control

BOARD!

As in Board of Directors – where the buck stops regarding water license regulation.

Not SWRCB, Division of “WE DO WHAT WE WANT”, “THIS WILL GET ‘EM”, “HA WE DON’T  HAVE TO ANSWER”, or whatever qualifier follows SWRCB.

Going to dial again…..

 

I honestly don’t know if the board approved THE NEW WL11395 POU RESOLUTION or not because I walked out in complete disgust – my heart can’t take the constant deceit and lies from the Board and GM with only snippets of time to comment while the lies and deceit only grows as the meeting progresses.   NEVER ANY MEANINGFUL DISCUSSION ABOUT OBVIOUS CONTRADICTIONS WITH KAMPA’s MAP AND THE LEGITIMATE OFFICIALLY RECORDED DOCUMENTS ON FILE THAT CLEARLY DEFINE THE POU.

BOARD/GM answers are never forthcoming and the corruption just snowballs further out of control.   I have difficulty sitting quietly listening to people preaching as to how they are only helping the community when they OBVIOUSLY COULD CARE LESS FOR OBTAINING THE TRUTH AND HAVE DEMONSTRATED THIS FOR YEARS!

YEAH YEAH YEAH…..  I know I always say it will be my last meeting but as the frustration and discomfort winds down and fades between meetings I always cave in and return to the same KAMPAGANDA SPECIAL INTEREST DIRTY TRICKS, BOARD ACQUIESCENCE OF GM WRONGDOING, AND PROHIBITION OF DISCUSSING THE TRUTH WHILE THE BOARD POLITELY ASKS KAMPA HOW THEY SHOULD PROCEED IN SERVICE TO THE COMMUNITY?

Bogus FAX number?

SWRCB FAX TURNED OFF?

Sun spots in a neighboring solar system affecting only select FAX numbers in the greater Sacramento area?

Whatever.

Have some things I MUST DO – SINCE THE SWRCB IS NOT APPARENTLY INTERESTED, GUESS I’ll SHARE WITH YOU FOLKS, NO SENSE IN LETTING ALL THAT WORK LAST NIGHT AND EARLY THIS MORNING GO TO WASTE RIGHT?

My best to you and yours, Lew

 

Last meeting the board refused a request to simply double check the ELECTION MAP KAMPA STATED WAS ON FILE WITH THE COUNTY.   OK, my bad for entertaining the idea the board might be interested in the truth.  So I drove to Mariposa and found out Pete Kampa was once again fabricating the truth about the election map.  No surprise.  Also found out the map he posts on the website and states was produced by the County of Mariposa, was not produced by the County of Mariposa.  See the continuing pattern?  Perhaps a map would help?  lol

Still it would have been nice for the directors to stand up for a change and question his statements rather than just blindly approving everything Kampa produces and claims to be factual.   I honestly believe the lack of such director challenge to contradictory information presented by Kampa only encourages more deception so it just goes on and on without end.  Apparently, obvious dishonesty demonstrated by the general manager/board treasurer is acceptable to the board members.  Why be bothered with the truth?

So here we go again……

Those of us who receive the digital agenda/packet did not get the whole enchilada……once again.    The KAMPA POU MAP (below) was included in the agenda packet posted on the LDPCSD website site but not in the one sent to regular subscribers – imagine that?  Those customers who are interested enough to read this stuff every month received an incomplete packet.   I discovered this when I tried to print a page but the printer software kept identifying the “current page” as a different one numerically, so I opened the website packet and was flipping through and found the map.

Sound familiar?

The properties around the school that KAMPA insists are within the POU and permitted Merced River water under 11395 (above and to the left and right of the Hidalgo Road intersection south of the school) were originally planned to be in the subdivision however were withdrawn from the final approved subdivision map.   [CALIFORNIA SUBDIVISION MAP ACT]

These outside PLACE OF USE properties are therefore not subject to that additional layer of government in the form of a property owners association that regular subdivision property owners must conform –  ie, another governing Board of Directors, CC&Rs that run with, and restrict property uses, violation committees, fines, penalties, annual assessments, etc.. 

These OUTSIDE POU property owners did not want to be part of the regulated subdivision so they were not included yet now (through the misguided and deceitful efforts of PETE KAMPA) demand the benefits of subdivision water service without having paid their fair share much less being subjected to far more restrictive Association regulations in contrast to the more lenient county regulations on land development and use.

Anyway, here goes OUR SPECIAL INTEREST REMOTE GM AGAIN CLAIMING A NEW PLACE OF USE FOR MERCED RIVER WATER BASED ON HIS MYSTERIOUS “SHAPE FILE” FROM A PROPOSED and CONDITIONALLY APPROVED PROJECT 20 YEARS EARLIER (during his first employment tour with the LDPCSD) WHICH WAS ABANDONED  FOR FAILING TO MEET SPECIFIC STATE CONDITIONS FOR APPROVAL.

WHAT AM I MISSING HERE?

THE STATE AGREED TO PERMIT WATER SERVICE WHEN THE SOUTH SHORE PROJECT COMPLETED SPECIFIED DEVELOPMENT CONDITIONS,  YET TWENTY YEARS LATER (AND LONG AFTER SOUTH SHORE HAD BEEN ABANDONED FOR NOT COMPLETING THE STATE REQUIRED CONDITIONS AND PERMITS HAD EXPIRED)  PETE KAMPA IS RETURNED TO THE SCENE OF THE CRIME TO FURNISH WATER SERVICE ANYWAY BY PULLING AN ANTIQUATED  SHAPEFILE OUT OF HIS……..

“pocket”………AS SOME SORT OF EVIDENCE THAT IT HAD LEGALLY EXPANDED THE PLACE OF USE FOR MERCED RIVER WATER.     

IMAGINE THAT!  EVEN THE LICENSE HOLDER (MERCED IRRIGATION DISTRICT) WAS UNAWARE THEIR POU HAD CHANGED TWENTY YEARS AGO!  lol

(Kind of reminds me of a 900 acre proposed subdivision quietly annexed in 1995 when Kampa was here the first time that was actively concealed from the public until only a few months prior to KAMPA’s UNETHICAL RETURN in October 2014!  What a coincidence, yeah?)

GOSH, EVEN THE  STATE WATER BOARD WHICH QUITE CLEARLY IN THE SEPTEMBER 2017 NOTICE OF COMPLAINT, CONFIRMED THE POU IS THE  RESIDENTIAL SUBDIVISION.

 

QUESTION:   IS THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL, A LOCAL DEVELOPER’S HILL, A PROPOSED RESIDENTIAL SUBDIVISION, THE AT&T SUB STATION, AND NUMEROUS OTHER PARCELS WITHIN THE LAKE DON PEDRO SUBDIVISION?

ANSWER:  NO, THEY ARE NOT.

QUESTION: WHY IS PETE KAMPA SO COMMITTED TO FURNISHING WATER TO THESE OUTSIDE SUBDIVISION PROPERTIES?

ANSWER:  HE WAS PERSONALLY INVOLVED WITH MANY OF THESE ANNEXATIONS INTO THE DISTRICT TWENTY YEARS AGO WHILE ASSISTING IN THE MASSIVE EXPANSION PLANS FOR THE AREA BASED ON TAKING OUR SUBDIVISION WATER – FIRST BY VIOLATING THE 11395 POU RESTRICTIONS ON where MERCED RIVER WATER COULD BE USED, THEN BY EXPANDING A LEGAL REMEDY of GROUNDWATER SUBSTITUTION TO REPLACE THE MERCED RIVER WATER WRONGFULLY LEAVING THE SUBDIVISION.

 

A BASIC CONTRACT CONSISTS OF AN OFFER, ACCEPTANCE AND CONSIDERATION FOR THE DEAL (MONEY, ACT, SERVICE,ETC)

SO, THE STATE OFFERED WATER IF DEVELOPER COMPLETED SPECIFIED CONDITIONS, HOWEVER, DEVELOPER FAILED TO PERFORM CONDITIONS,  THEREFORE NO WATER FOR PROJECT.

 

BELOW IS ONLY ONE OF THE AREAS WHERE PETE KAMPA HAS

IGNORED EXISTING REGULATIONS AND BOUNDARIES AND CREATED

HIS OWN POU MAP WHICH IS CONTRADICTORY TO THAT ON FILE WITH THE STATE WATER BOARD.

 

  KAMPA MOVED POU TO THE COUNTY LINE.

NOW a zoom look at where the elementary school is located…..

KAMPA HAS INCORRECTLY EXPANDED THE POU BOUNDARY BY PLACING IT ON THE COUNTY LINE INSTEAD OF THE HIDALGO ROAD WHICH IS SOUTH OF THE SCHOOL AREA AND FORMS THE SUBDIVISION BOUNDARY WHICH THE STATE RECENTLY CONFIRMED IN ITS NOTICE OF VIOLATION IS INDEED THE POU FOR MERCED RIVER WATER. 

HAS KAMPA ALSO EXPANDED THE LEGAL DESCRIPTION OF THE LAKE DON PEDRO SUBDIVISION BOUNDARIES BY ANNEXING THESE OTHER PROPERTIES INTO THE SUBDIVISION AS WELL?

THE STATE WATER BOARD SAID THE SUBDIVISION IS THE POU, IF THESE PROPERTIES ARE IN THE POU AS KAMPA (WRONGFULLY) CLAIMS, THEY MUST BE PART OF THE SUBDIVISION ALSO AND SHOULD BE HELD TO THE CC&RS, ANNUAL ASSESSMENTS, ETC.

There is clear evidence that Pete Kampa was pushing water service far beyond what was legally approved and intended under water license 11395 twenty years ago – even to the point of unilaterally misrepresenting his special interest plans to both counties over that of the LDPCSD Board of Directors.  This apparently resulted in AN OFFICIAL WRITTEN KAMPA APOLOGY to planning officials just before he left for McCloud where he exploited yet another CSD for its resources. (There is still some information available on the internet about that mess.)

TOO MUCH ALREADY…..but

I  was going to ignore this continuing and most recent outrageous map deception by PETE KAMPA because I have other things requiring attention and there is never enough time as it is, however, this is important and deserving of some final blah blah blah.

Although I’m not ready to write about it quite yet, there is some new information that I believe will assist in understanding why Pete Kampa is so determined to  furnish water to annexed properties for development plans he assisted in setting up twenty years ago when employed here the first time between 1994-1997.

Directly related to this is how such public agency corruption and contemptuous disregard for the law is allowed to continue with the unfortunate result that even more innocent people may be sucked into this ever expanding Kampa&Kompany vortex of corruption.  [Wonder if this surge of deception will be like a star burning all its fuel prior to inevitable collapse?  Still a surge can be destructive to other objects in range.]

Understandable how this might happen because on the surface PETE KAMPA appears to be a state recognized water professional serving on the Board of the CALIFORNIA SPECIAL DISTRICTS ASSOCIATION (CSDA) for almost 20 years, owns his own KAMPA COMMUNITY SOLUTIONS llc, aka, KAMPACS special district (remote) management company, and even very recently received the prestigious CSDA TRANSPARENCY IN GOVERNMENT AWARD…….yes – lol!

Why wouldn’t others (unaware of his true character) accept such a carefully projected facade of honesty and integrity?

Take CALIFORNIA CAD SOLUTIONS for instance – the company that produced KAMPA’s POU MAP (below).   

SEPTEMBER 2017?

What a coincidence!

The LDPCSD received a NOTICE OF WATER RIGHTS VIOLATION SEPTEMBER 2017 also.

Yet this map has been withheld from the public for 9 months* until a late Friday before the Monday meeting?  KAMPAGANDA!

(*Displayed on screen during meeting presentation October 2017)

NOTICE THE MAP DISCLAIMER?

“This map is provided for graphic representation of the District boundaries and are not to be considered exact legal boundaries.  Original maps can be obtained by contacting Merced Irrigation District.”

Customers were told, in addition to the DISTRICT NOT BEING INVOLVED IN THE PRODUCTION OF THIS MAP, CALIFORNIA CAD SOLUTIONS was going to base their mapping project upon legitimate maps furnished by the MERCED IRRIGATION DISTRICT and the STATE WATER BOARD.  THE WHOLE POINT OF THAT $35,000 KAMPA MAPPING PROJECT WAS TO DETERMINE THE LEGAL PLACE OF USE BOUNDARIES FOR MERCED RIVER WATER ONCE AND FOR ALL – yet the PRODUCT MAP suggests contacting MID for such accurate information?

WHAT HAVE I BEEN FRIGG’N SAYING FOR YEARS?

CONTACT LEGITIMATE AUTHORITIES FOR THE INFORMATION!

YET THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS REFUSED PREFERRING TO TRUST PETE KAMPA INSTEAD

SAME OLD KAMPA FULL CIRCLE.  Refuses to contact MID and the STATE WATER BOARD for information, board approves a $35,000 mapping project to finally determine the legal POU once and for all (honest people already knew what it was for decades) KAMPA’s MAP is incorrectly produced and if you want to know legal boundaries contact the MID?   Perhaps send them a certified USPS letter for the information that is never received?  This is all utter bullshit.

MAP TITLE:

“MERCED IRRIGATION DISTRICT PLACE OF USE”

For what?

Notice this map does not state it is the PLACE OF USE map for MERCED RIVER WATER per State restrictions contained in water license 11395 which is held by the Merced Irrigation District.

Surely CALIFORNIA CAD SOLUTIONS would not intentionally fabricate information to be used in official government processes just for money right? True, there are dishonest individuals and companies out there, but generally a business wants a good reputation, right? You know, to encourage more legitimate business through satisfied customers?   Of course I would imagine a business capable and willing to produce fraudulent maps and such could probably do a lot of business with characters like Pete Kampa furnishing a new supply of costly projects and lucrative on going service, maintenance, and upgrade agreements (DON’T FORGET THE CSDA DISCOUNTS!) – everybody makes money and MR WECs continues to pay more and more for less and less while KAMPA&KOMPANY EXPAND AND EXPAND!

SO the first question:

IF CALIFORNIA CAD SOLUTIONS truly intended to produce a legitimate PLACE OF USE MAP FOR MERCED RIVER WATER PER WATER LICENSE 11395 – (REMEMBER THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS STIPULATION THAT “NO DISTRICT FINGERPRINTS” SHOULD BE ON THE PROJECT?) – WHERE DO YOU THINK THAT CAD COMPANY MIGHT REASONABLY OBTAIN ACCURATE LICENSE AND MAP INFORMATION?

HOW ABOUT THE STATE WATER BOARD THAT REGULATES SUCH LICENSES?

OR

CONTACTING THE MERCED IRRIGATION DISTRICT WHICH HOLDS THE LICENSE?

Yet it appears as though PETE KAMPA himself had already carefully orchestrated how and what information that company (AND OTHERS) would obtain and use as the basis for this FRANKEN-KAMPA MAPPA!

HOW DID THE DEPARTMENT OF WATER RESOURCES END UP HAVING AN ANTIQUATED SHAPE FILE FROM AN ABANDONED LAND DEVELOPMENT PROJECT TWENTY YEARS EARLIER IN THEIR FILES?

WHEN WAS IT FIRST RECEIVED?  BY WHAT AGENCY?

DID KAMPA PLACE THAT SHAPE FILE IN DEPARTMENT OF WATER RESOURCES FILES BACK THEN FOR “LATER HARVEST”?

WAS IT USED IN THE GRANT APPLICATION PROCESS?

Sneaky, sneaky.  So many different maps….so many different answers, depending upon who you might be, or represent.

For the sake of argument, let’s agree there are indeed basically honest people out there working in government positions who, like all humans, are vulnerable at one time or another into being duped, tricked, cajoled, misguided, exploited, used, etc., and who might instinctively feel that doing a particular thing is wrong or suspicious (or not doing something they believe to be the right), but due to the PROFESSIONAL GRADE PROVEN TECHNIQUES OF DECEPTION AND MANIPULATION UTILIZED BY TRAINED EXPLOITERS LIKE PETE KAMPA, make a mistake and perform, or don’t perform, certain duties as requested.

At least I want to believe there are honest people who might have just been opportunistically “caught up in the moment” and made errors in judgement based on the smooth KAMPA ASSURANCES OF TRUSTWORTHINESS.  Obviously, not being privy to another’s  heart and mind, reduces understanding of possible motives to pure speculation.

KNOWINGLY DISHONEST

OR JUST ANOTHER

DUPED & EXPLOITED VICTIM?  

AGENDA ITEM 5.b. “Adoption of a Resolution Accepting the Place of Use Boundary for Merced Irrigation District’s Water Rights License 11395 based on the concurrence of the State Water Board Division of Water Rights”

BELOW IS KAMPA’s CONCURRENCE OF THE STATE WATER BOARD:

 

 

When I first read this email I was disturbed with some of the statements and conclusions Mr. Feldhaus expressed about a situation with which he obviously has little factual information.   I’ll list my concerns.

1. What is “CalEPA Water Rights Complaint 46350”?

2. When was Mr. Feldhaus assigned to “46350”?

3. Who assigned Mr. Feldhaus to case and with what objective?

4. Why is there only an individual’s personal analysis based solely on Pete Kampa’s response without regard for existing legitimate State Water Board records?  Where is there an opportunity for a citizen challenge of stated facts?

5. What other Division employees, supervisors, managers, legal water right experts, attorneys, etc., were involved with Mr. Feldhaus’ apparent unilateral decision regarding a four decades old continuing public agency deception and fraud against it’s legal customers of the Lake Don Pedro subdivision who are the Merced River Water Entitled Customers per water license 11359?

6. Why was referenced “EXHIBIT C” of PETE KAMPA’s response not included in the Agenda Packet with the Feldhaus email?

7. Engineering wise the shapefile provided by KAMPA may be accurate, however, what it illustrates is not the legal WL11395 POU.

8. Did Mr. Feldhaus contact MID for their official POU map per 11395?

9. Did Mr. Feldhaus obtain and compare the 1978 MID POU Map that was cited in the September 2017 STATE WATER BOARD Notice of Violation (NOV) as illustrating the correct Place of Use for Merced River water per 11395, which is the residential subdivision?  Does Mr. Feldhaus doubt the STATE’S NOV description of the POU as the residential subdivision?  Did Pete Kampa explain otherwise?  How many communications with Pete Kampa?  Any meetings regarding “case”?

10.   Another quick change to the TRADITIONAL MONTHLY COMPLIANCE REPORTING FOR OUTSIDE PLACE OF USE PROPERTIES THAT CUSTOMERS PREVIOUSLY RECEIVED  IN THE AGENDA PACKET THAT KAMPA HAS DISCONTINUED?  Our district records are more like cards to be shuffled and intentionally confused.   All “checks and balances” previously provided the public in agenda packet documentation for monitoring such outside POU activity have been removed by Kampa.  Our Community Services District has been transformed into a Groundwater Substitution Facility for third party land developers outside the POU of 11395 with district information being restricted from the Merced River Water Entitled Customers of the subdivision who represent 99% of the customer base.

11.  “WE” (STATE) request “WHAT YOU” (KAMPA) suggested WAS THE TRUTH in YOUR (KAMPA’s) response?  Amazing investigation of the facts, yeah?

12. . The Feldhaus email also incorrectly references a previously reported potential OUTSIDE POU ADDITION as occurring between 2013 and 2015, however, the STATE NOV quite clearly states in the third paragraph on page three:  “The spreadsheets indicated that 34 parcels were served outside of the POU as defined by LDPCSD from 2013-2015, and 35 parcels outside the POU were served in 2016.” (page 3, third paragraph).  

13.  Outside POU discrepancies will be addressed and amended in some future official document?  (Don’t call us, we’ll call you?  lol)

14. Mr. Feldhaus states (apparently based solely upon his personal belief and what Kampa provided him) there is “now agreement regarding the official MID license boundary”,

which couldn’t be further from the truth.

When does a citizen have an opportunity to challenge such outrageous fabrications of truth which could easily be evidenced as such through simple research and evaluation of existing official documents held by the regulating authorities?    THIS ENTIRE MESS IS INSANE!  THINK OF THE WASTED PUBLIC RESOURCES BECAUSE PETE KAMPA REFUSES TO RECOGNIZE THE LICENSE RESTRICTIONS DUE TO HIS OWN SPECIAL INTERESTS.  PLUS, NO SURPRISE AGAIN, HE COULD CARE LESS ABOUT THE HARM HE CAUSES OTHERS ALONG THE WAY.

15. The SOUTH SHORE CLUB (also called La Ventana Cattle Company) was a proposed residential subdivision and golf course complex on 2,010ac off Bonds Flat Road that was “CONDITIONALLY APPROVED” by the STATE WATER BOARD in DECISION ORDER 93–2, yet due to the failure of developers to meet conditions the project was abandoned.   The 772 acre feet of Merced River water each year could only be delivered if a waste water recycling system was developed for the proposed golf course irrigation and a number of environment conditions were met some later imposed by respective counties.  But none of it happened, permits expired and the project forgotten,  that is until Pete Kampa returns over twenty years later waiving a “shapefile” which he claims supports his assertion that a successful POU CHANGE WAS CONDUCTED BY THE STATE WATER BOARD back  in 1993 – although there is no documentation to support this assertion.   (Other than he was there and personally knows what was being planned.)   Then of course there is the GROUNDWATER SUBSTITUTION PROGRAM KAMPA fueled with grants intended to help existing customers through the drought.  Wonder if Mr. Feldhaus knows anything about that?

15. Since Mr. Feldhaus is in complete agreement with PETE KAMPA regarding a NEWLY ESTABLISHED PLACE OF USE FOR MERCED RIVER WATER – (THAT IS CLEARLY CONTRARY TO THE WATER LICENSE RESTRICTIONS IN 11395) and that properties are to be removed from the MANDATORY COMPLIANCE REPORTING — FELDHAUS even suggests the district may not have ever even been in violation in the first place!

CAN YOU SAY AN

“ATTEMPTED COMPLETE COVER-UP”

OF DECADES OF DECEIT & FRAUD BY A PUBLIC AGENCY?

DEAR LORD!

Maybe a new GOVERNMENT TRANSPARENCY AWARD IS BEING DESIGNED RIGHT NOW BY HIS ASSOCIATES AT THE CSDA?

THIS IS UNBELIEVABLE!

AND PEOPLE WONDER WHY THIS STATE IS IN SUCH TROUBLE?

TOTAL LACK OF INTEGRITY – BUT THAT’S NOT THE ONLY BS ASPECT ABOUT THIS!

Want to hear something strange?  I actually feel a bit sorry for Mr. Feldhaus because I want to believe he was only used by Kampa to help cover the years of dishonesty Kampa created and perpetuates for the LDPCSD, customers and others, –  but then again, perhaps FELDHAUS is just as ethically challenged as Kampa and cut from the same political cloth knowing exactly what he was doing in the further corruption of an investigation already in trouble because of a powerful special interest influence radiating outward from the Sacramento based state water industry?

This is much larger than I ever initially imagined and understand how some might prefer to remain ignorant.

Seriously – an 18 month in depth STATE WATER BOARD investigation that blew the lid off absolutely false statements of fact that have been spread and repeated around here for over 40 years by real estate and land development interests looking to exploit the subdivisions access to quality water.  The truth finally starts to emerge then PRESTO – violations that took place in TUOLUMNE COUNTY and MARIPOSA COUNTY are posted late on the STATE WATER BOARD WEBSITE and INCORRECTLY REPORTED LOCATIONS AS STANISLAUS COUNTY and SUTTER COUNTY.

THIS IS SO FRUSTRATING – are individual employees within government using their positions to thwart the legal process for their particular cause?   Even though I am heart and mind opposed to the continued KAMPA & KOMPANY dishonesty I still have compassion for Mr. Feldhaus.   Why? I was curious as to who this GRAND DECIDER was and learned the following –

An Engineering Geologist who has apparently only been working for the State Water Board for three months? (If this is the same Aaron Feldhaus who wrote the email to Pete Kampa, of course.)

Three FRIGG’n MONTHS!  90 FRIGG ‘N DAYS of beginning a new life based on the education achieved

and someone dumps this “hot potato” of apparent public agency deceit, fraud and fabrication of water right documents perpetrated by a well known and politically connected CSDA BOARD DIRECTOR of 20 years in young Aaron’s 3 month experienced lap at the Sacramento Valley Enforcement Unit? 

Something is very wrong here.

Young Feldhaus to unilaterally resolve an intentionally created and complex situation spanning decades based solely on the absolute untruths by perpetrator PETE KAMPA?   And the ultimate remedy is to request and accept the suggestions by perpetrator PETE KAMPA?

Imagine, all these years of deceit, lies,  and wasted public resources to protect the duplicitous KAMPA TWENTY PLUS YEAR PLAN of developing an entire drought prone foothill region through assorted LAFCO annexations, fabricated POU maps, and an expanded secretly subsidized GROUNDWATER SUBSTITUTION PROGRAM for OUTSIDE POU land developers —- and all paid for by the victim MR WECs of the subdivision who are mandatory members of our hi-jacked public agency.

Sure sounds like organized crime and conspiracy to me.   Where is the equal protection under the law?

Regardless,  I feel sorry that someone who has apparently worked very hard for a college education in both Europe and the USA and was able to land a good state job with benefits (which no doubt was extremely competitive as well) may be making a very poor career decision in acting upon and trusting information provided by Pete Kampa.

Yup, very sad when others get pulled into such intentional wrong-doing by professional cheats like Kampa.  I am disgusted that such a predator is allowed to continue working in the industry.  Wonder what Aaron’s parents and friends might think of Pete?

 

My best to you and yours, Lew

 

Then again, maybe this guy is a “working Kampa contact” whose employment should be terminated for trying to pull a fast one with an official State Water Board investigation that has already evidently been contaminated with published incorrect result information.

Sutter County?

right,  like the Merced River runs through that area.
