PART I

Where to begin?  The last regular monthly meeting (Monday, October 17^th) went quite well with the Board deciding to research their apparent, and frequent, violation of District Policy regarding PUBLIC COMMENT REPORTING.  The issue will be addressed at the next regular monthly board meeting.  Below is the Public Comment I read and presented to directors (except Director Emery Ross who was absent), GM Kampa, Board Secretary Syndie Marchesiello, as well as audience attendees.

 

GM KAMPA explained that my September 19^th PUBLIC COMMENT (and previous comments regarding Public Comment reporting in the Minutes per DISTRICT POLICY) was inadequate to initiate any corrective action.  Apparently speaking of such things in PUBLIC COMMENT does not necessarily start the process of correction since it was not a written request submitted to the GM to be discussed on the agenda by the board.  What?   How many other Public Comments have generated immediate scheduling action by the Board and GM because they wanted to act upon that particular information?   Thank you Vice President Dan Hankemeier for your support in providing this issue the attention it truly deserves.

Still it is quite frustrating to realize how several months of “customer suggestions, requests, and complaints” have been INTENTIONALLY IGNORED IN THE OFFICIAL MINUTES THAT WOULD HAVE OTHERWISE PERMITTED CUSTOMERS TO READ AND APPRECIATE WHAT THEIR NEIGHBORS AND FELLOW CUSTOMERS WERE SAYING AT MEETINGS, which needless to say, appears to be the underlying rationale for the policy:  A RIGHT TO BE HEARD.

Can  you imagine the INCORRECT CONCLUSIONS future readers of our Minutes will extrapolate from our historical record WITHOUT ANY MENTION OF THE MANY CONTRARY/CHALLENGING PUBLIC COMMENT CONTRIBUTIONS BY CUSTOMERS ?   …..THE OFFICIAL RECORD WILL SIMPLY INDICATE NO ONE CARED ENOUGH ABOUT DISTRICT ACTIVITIES TO EVEN MAKE A COMMENT or WHAT THEY HAD TO SAY WAS SO MEANINGLESS IT DID NOT DESERVE NOTATION IN THE MINUTES.

A very effective way to “SANITIZE THE OFFICIAL RECORD” of opposing views and/or controversial subjects.

Wes Barton’s detailed research, questioning of, and reporting on, District Finances for several months was completely ignored and will simply DISAPPEAR BY WAY OF NONDISCLOSURE TO CUSTOMERS.   This is extremely unethical and the RECORD SHOULD BE CORRECTED WITH FACT!

Transparency of government action my ass.  It is only a carefully orchestrated illusion of transparency.

I’m starting to realize (way too late, incidentally) I too have been, and am, wasting precious time reporting on these issues because KAMPA & KOMPANY (supported by their influential special interest property owners and developers who need water outside the legal place of use to exponentially increase property values) are going to do exactly as they please regardless of law, logic, or their ethical duty to the Lake Don Pedro subdivision customers they are supposed to be serving.  Yeah?  So?

Just one more reason why our LAKE DON PEDRO subdivision has needlessly suffered so much through the years because our ONE BIG SELLING POINT OF AVAILABLE HIGH QUALITY MERCED RIVER WATER has been QUIETLY DIVERTED AWAY FROM THE INTENDED BENEFICIARIES TO OTHER SPECULATIVE INTERESTS OUTSIDE THE SUBDIVISION – and WE PAY FOR THIS FRAUD.  Decades of “water wars” because explicit regulations were completely ignored in favor of special interest advocacy and the claim that everybody will benefit and the area will greatly prosper by just violating those pesky PLACE OF USE restrictions in water license 11395.   Money always wins.

MASTER PLAN FOR THE BENEFIT OF……..?

Recall how PETE KAMPA attempted to get the County Planning Departments of Tuolumne and Mariposa to go along with his massive inclusion of other properties into the SPHERE OF INFLUENCE IN THE 1990’s?   ( PREVIOUS BLOG POSTING ) And how he over-stepped his position back then by MISREPRESENTING WHAT THE LDPCSD WAS GOING TO DO IN THE FUTURE WITH THE PARKS IN THE LAKE DON PEDRO RESIDENTIAL SUBDIVISION?   While we wait for the “OFFICIAL MAP OF DISTRICT WATER SERVICE” (which is to be documented in an extremely expensive “DOG AND PONY SHOW” multi-map transparency presentation in hopes of diverting attention away from the fact that OPERATIONAL REGULATIONS WERE JUST PLAIN IGNORED), there’s another peculiar CSD map that should be presented for your consideration:

   

Although the map is clearly titled:  LDPOA PARKS (Lake Don Pedro Owners Association) notice the inserted legend in the top left portion:  “CSD MC Parksites, and CSD TC Parksites” (evidently referring to Mariposa County and Tuolumne County).

Why were these identified as CSD park sites?….Ahhhh, was the District going to “LIBERATE THOSE PARKS” from the subdivision like it did with the water?

I remember a while back that ORB HATTON (the owner of TRI-COUNTY REALTY at the time was supported to be on the LDPOA Board of Directors by an extremely influential “late on the scene” land development/real estate/mortgage  corporation from the Bay Area operating in LDP at the time) made that same pitch (with Dwight Mueller) that the “association” had numerous natural parks scattered throughout the subdivision that residents never used or even knew existed.  Waste of land and money.  He and his group advocated selling them for cash!  (This was another point at which I really got involved with the “crooked politics” of this area.  Selling our open natural parks for some quick cash that probably wouldn’t last a year or two?   Dear God!  Who were/are these people who would do such a thing?)

HEARD THAT SAME CRAP 10 years AGO AND REPORTED THE INSANITY!

[Old posting on AHRC website (American Homeowners Resource Center) which initially hosted lakedonpedro.org]

Anyway, reading about KAMPA’s past explanation of how these parks were going to be used by the CSD in the future, triggered my recall of ORB’s similar advocacy of getting rid of these beautiful open natural areas.  (Amazing how much we tend to forget as we get older, huh?  Reading through these old records sure brings it back.  Was it a waste of time then?  OF COURSE NOT!  WE STILL HAVE OUR PARKS FOR THE FUTURE!)

Now, is it not interesting that Orb Hatton just happened to be the owner of a large parcel of property which is also OUTSIDE the 11395 PLACE OF USE (south of Director Emery Ross’s Cattle Ranch on the other side of HWY 132 – the “event location” with the huge pond) that was supposedly annexed into our district despite the fact it receives no CSD water (that is known or documented)  and pays no availability fees?   Support CSD expansion and become part of that expansion without having to pay like entitled users in the subdivision?  I noticed that specific property was recently listed in the Mariposa Gazette under Public Notices so I checked the APN (Assessors Parcel Number), and yes indeed, that was one of the properties allegedly annexed into the District.  I am still searching for that information.  Now seriously, why should that property potentially be acquired by another party without first straightening out this issue of “ANNEXED-NON-ANNEXED-MAYBE ANNEXED – PROPERTY” BULLSHIT?  (Sorry for the language, but I’m tired of wasting my time on something so obviously corrupt with little chance of being corrected by the “POWERS THAT BE”.)

While researching for these [“approved?”] annexations I noticed how the earlier paperwork often concealed the owner’s name, property description/location, and most often did not contain an “EXHIBIT A”  that was purportedly ATTACHED to the Resolution.  Below is an example.  No frigg’n clue as to where the property was located much less who was the owner.  Just a generic form with slight adjustments.   Of course, after the State of California started checking into things there was a brief suspension of all annexations as new regulations were being formulated.   Cross-checking with other meeting minutes and agenda packets most of the owners and property locations could be discovered.  But a few were/are still a bit of a mystery.

THERE WAS NO “ATTACHED” EXHIBIT A!  

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

 The district was also quite aware of what it was doing from the very beginning as it continued to serve water to properties outside the PLACE OF USE as indicated in the below MAY 7th, 1981 Minutes:

EVEN IF THE ABOVE WERE LEGALLY POSSIBLE IN OTHER DISTRICTS, IT STILL WOULD NOT INVALIDATE THE MERCED RIVER WATER RESTRICTIONS TO WHICH OUR DISTRICT WAS SUBJECT.

I BELIEVE ONLY THE STATE WATER RESOURCES CONTROL BOARD HAS THE EXCLUSIVE AUTHORITY TO ADJUST SUCH REGULATORY BOUNDARIES OF SERVICE UNDER A STATE WATER LICENSE.

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

CHECK OUT THIS TIME LINE OF PROPOSED PROPERTY ANNEXATIONS TO THE DISTRICT BELOW.    NOTICE ANYTHING A LITTLE BIT WEIRD? 

(I BELIEVE THESE PROPERTIES ARE ALSO VERY CLOSE TO THE ROSS RANCH)

(NOTICE THE “NO PUBLIC HEARINGS” ON THESE ANNEXATIONS?  NICE AND QUIET!)

OK, so we have two different property owners (Mr. Bert Raynor and Mr. Bud Ralston) representing their respective properties for annexation, IN ADDITION TO TWO OTHER UNKNOWN PROPERTY OWNERS who also wish to annex to the District but their names are NEVER MENTIONED in District Minutes (that I could find).  Strange huh?

That is until I found their partial names listed on the 1981 RESOLUTION INDEX.  The unknown property owners were listed as “VAILS PROPERTY” and “CORDELL PROPERTY”.  (BELOW)

OK, now please allow me to make something perfectly clear right now, I have absolutely NO IDEA if what I’m about to share with you is something important to the continuing saga of the “MISSING OFFICIAL LDPCSD WATER SERVICE BOUNDARY MAP of 1980 that was purportedly BASED ON THE “INFAMOUS LAFCo SURVEY” (which means nothing since it is pages of engineering field language, ie, degrees, distances, compass headings, etc. – absolutely NO HELP without the corresponding map), or just a co-incidence.  Could be just a co-incidence, but after seeing some of the garbage that has been passed off through the years as “official paperwork of the district”, well, I figure ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE!  lol

OK, here it is – again probably just a co-incidence of names.

 

Was Raymond Vail, or a family member, annexing property into the District at that time?  And the “Vails Annexation”, was actually “Vail’s annexation”?  Or perhaps his name was actually “Raymond Vails?”   Heck I don’t know – it just seemed funny the name wasn’t mentioned until almost 10 years later in the above Minute report that a Raymond Vail drew up the first OFFICIAL BOUNDARY MAP.  Even that raises some more worthy questions.

HOW DOES AN ENGINEERING FIRM LOSE A PAID PROJECT MAP?

SO THE ORIGINAL MAP BASED ON A PURPORTED “LAFCo SURVEY” DISAPPEARS AND CAN’T BE FOUND? Didn’t LAFCo receive a map for their survey?  It was the county’s survey, right?  Or is that a piece of “misinformation” also?

SO THIS CONTRACTED ENGINEER WITH OUR DISTRICT ENGINEER’S ASSISTANCE ESSENTIALLY FABRICATES A SUBSEQUENT “OFFICIAL MAP” WHICH WAS ACTUALLY A FRANKENSTEIN CONGLOMERATION OF ANOTHER OLDER MAP WITH VARIOUS EXTREMELY SUSPICIOUS ANNEXATIONS THAT WERE APPARENTLY NEVER EVEN LEGALLY AUTHORIZED!

WHAT DOES “ADDED TO THAT MAP THE ANNEXATIONS, ETC., ” ACTUALLY MEAN?  WHAT ELSE WAS ADDED TO THAT MAP?

WHAT ABOUT ALL THE TRAs (TAX RATE AREAS) ESTABLISHED BY THE CALIFORNIA STATE BOARD OF EQUALIZATION BECAUSE OF “DISTRICT ANNEXATION [INCLUSION]”?

ARE THERE TAX BENEFITS FOR LARGE PARCELS THAT ARE INCLUDED IN A COMMUNITY SERVICES DISTRICT?

FIRE INSURANCE?  RESALE VALUE?  FURTHER POTENTIAL SUBDIVISIONS?

WHAT SORT OF TAX BENEFITS WERE RECEIVED BY THESE PROPERTIES THAT WERE QUIETLY BROUGHT INTO THIS “COMMUNITY SERVICES DISTRICT”  ALTHOUGH NOT RECEIVING ANY WATER OR PAYING YEARS OF AVAILABILITY FEES?

THE PROPERTIES WERE STILL OUTSIDE PLACE OF USE AND COULD NOT EVEN RECEIVE MERCED RIVER WATER – YET LATER THEY COULD VOTE IN OUR ELECTIONS AND DETERMINE WHAT SORT OF DIRECTORS WOULD REPRESENT THE THOUSANDS OF UNAWARE VICTIM SUBDIVISION PROPERTY OWNERS WHO WERE THE ONLY TRUE ENTITLED CUSTOMERS?

THERE HAVE BEEN A NUMBER OF STRANGE “MAP COMMENTS” THROUGH THE YEARS.

CHECK OUT THE APRIL 15, 1996 MINUTES (below) WHERE BOTH LAFCo AND THE UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR REQUESTED A MAP OF OUR SERVICE BOUNDARIES….. (but I thought LAFCo established the boundaries -why are they asking?)

AND WHAT WAS OUR DISTRICT RESPONSE TO THESE OFFICIAL REQUESTS FOR A LEGITIMATE MAP?  –

TOO BUSY RIGHT NOW – MAYBE LATER?

lol

WHAT A FRACK ‘N SCAM!

Special Meeting Friday, October 21, 2016

Nope.  I did not go to the Special Meeting yesterday  last Friday (see below) because I am still trying to get caught up with my own house/property work, besides, if “robbing Peter to pay Paul” is necessary to maintain safe quality water, by all means complete the work ASAP.   (Previously dedicated funds to repair/replace the raw water line from Lake McClure to treatment plant which has been leaking like a sieve for decades will evidently be used for the FILTER EMERGENCY.)  Here are 5 of 26 pages of an updated agenda packet with some very interesting material about our filter system.  VIEWERS ARE ENCOURAGED TO LOG ONTO THE DISTRICT’S WEBSITE AND READ ALL THE SUPPORT MATERIAL.  A REAL EYE OPENER.

 

BELOW IS THE RECENT MEMO FROM THE LDPCSD ENGINEER (kind of scary)

 

SHOULD THIS POSTING HAVE BEEN TITLED:   “A COMMUNITY AT RISK”?

I FOUND THIS IN THE 2009 RESOLUTION INDEX

 

OUR CSD RECORDS ARE PATHETIC

(but there is a very good reason for that, and I believe it is to conceal pure fraud!)

HERE ARE THE MINUTES TO THAT FEBRUARY 23, 2009 SPECIAL MEETING REGARDING THE FILTERS

My best to you and yours, Lew

 

HEY!   WE GOT A LITTLE RAIN TONIGHT!

 

Absolutely amazing (AND FRIGHTENING) how successful the CLINTON MACHINE is at concealing pertinent information – aka THE TRUTH!

Unbelievable how such information is only coming out so close to the November election.

I just read this and thought I would pass it on as relevant to our situation:

–

–

–

(check out the below link)

HILLARY CLINTON CANNOT RECALL EXTREMELY IMPORTANT FACTS AS TO WHY SHE HAD AND USED A PRIVATE SERVER?

–

–

–

Oh please!  I think most “thinking people” can appreciate this INTENTIONALLY CONFUSED ISSUE as simply:

THE ONLY EXPLANATION FOR HAVING A PRIVATE SERVER

IS TO KEEP INFORMATION ON THAT SERVER PRIVATE!

 

Why does this simple explanation seem to be ignored by those who support HRC?

Could it possibly be because all subsequent questions would revolve around INTENTIONALLY EVADING CLEAR REGULATIONS ON HOW GOVERNMENT INFORMATION IS SUPPOSED TO BE SENT, RECEIVED, STORED, and possibly SUBJECT TO FREEDOM OF INFORMATION REQUESTS where applicable?

Hillary Clinton may be many things but she certainly is not stupid or ignorant.

She has, however,  apparently LIED HERSELF INTO THE POSITION of being unable to tell the truth because telling the truth would be an admission (evidence?) to her past wrongful behavior!

Behavior which no doubt SERIOUSLY JEOPARDIZED OUR NATIONAL SECURITY AND THE SAFETY OF THOSE SERVING OUR COUNTRY GLOBALLY.

More likely than not, HRC’s activities have caused the deaths of countless individuals, US Citizens as well as others.

WHY IS SUCH A DELIBERATE REFUSAL TO TELL THE TRUTH SUPPORTED BY OTHERS?

Why doesn’t Hillary Clinton just simply release the original LAFCo approved LAKE DON PEDRO CSD WATER SERVICE MAP?

what can I say….it’s a rainy day schedule!  lol

 

 

 

 

QUESTION:   IF MY POSTING CONTRIBUTIONS WERE AS BAD AS THE GRAND JURY FOREMAN REPRESENTED IN THE REPORT – WHY NOT JUST INCLUDE THE ACTUAL PHOTOGRAPH & CARTOON/PHOTOGRAPH IN THAT REPORT AND ALLOW VIEWERS TO DETERMINE WHAT WAS BEING EXPRESSED FOR THEMSELVES?

ANSWER:  BECAUSE THAT GRAND JURY REPORT WAS AN INTENTIONAL MISREPRESENTATION OF THE FACTS TO ASSIST IN COVERING UP THE DECADES OF CORRUPTION WITHIN THE LAKE DON PEDRO COMMUNITY SERVICES DISTRICT BY THAT SAME OLD GROUP OF SPECIAL INTEREST PEOPLE !

plain and simple.

IF ANYTHING REQUIRES “CUTTING CORNERS”

Here is (below) the original blog link that contained the photograph & cartoon/photograph that the 2012 MARIPOSA COUNTY Grand Jury Foreman

INTENTIONALLY MISREPRESENTED IN THE

“OFFICIAL GRAND JURY REPORT”.

(Referenced in a recent posting about GOVERNMENT WATCHDOGS not doing their jobs.)

WHY would that foreman PURPOSEFULLY OMIT the “SO GOSIP” [SAME OLD GROUP OF SPECIAL INTEREST PEOPLE”]

reference in both the BLOG TITLE POSTING AS WELL AS THE “CHAINSAW PHOTOGRAPH” AND CARTOON/PHOTOGRAPH?

Here’s the original blog posting from November 12th, 2011:

KATHY OPENS THE “SO GOSIP” ATTACK

NOTE:  The “BDF” in the cartoon stood for “BEN D. FRAUDED” which was an email address and cartoon alias I was using at the time.  Thought it funny, you know…..

YOU, ME, ALL OF US HAVE ——

BEEN D EFRAUDED!

(Ben D. Frauded)

LOL

Strange how the GJ’s wrongful activity from 5 years ago can still be quite irritating now – but then I realize this little WALK DOWN MEMORY LANE only supports the theory that the LDPCSD is indeed INSTITUTIONALIZED FRAUD and

has been, and is,

ESSENTIALLY PROTECTED BY {what is supposed to be}  LEGITIMATE GOVERNMENT!

You know, had the Grand Jury Foreman accused me of being a very poor illustrator – I would have totally agreed!  lol)

My best to you and yours, Lew

 WON’T GET FOOLED AGAIN — THE WHO

Same old stuff, Good and bad.   Sweet and sour.  Humorous, and of course, not so funny.  The agenda for the Lake Don Pedro Community Services District (LDPCSD) Monday, October 17^th, 2016 Board of Directors Monthly Meeting has it all and more.  But what does it all mean and how does it reflect on actual progress?

True, there was a GOOD “presentation improvement” by actually numbering the packet pages, which is something most public agency customers take for granted anyway, but just facilitating the convenient access to the packet material does nothing to change the content, meaning, or the direction that information has been leading this district.

Page four under KAMPA’s Manager’s Report is a good example – “DISTRICT MAPPING PROJECT”.

“District Mapping Project – A request for proposals has been prepared describing the scope of mapping work and various map layers to be produced by the selected contractor.  The difficulty has been in receiving cost proposals from contractors, when the scope includes for them to research and secure Geographical Information System (GIS) data or legal descriptions for all the various boundaries. The Board directed staff to determine exact boundaries to ensure complete accuracy in developing the various boundary lines.  We have decided that we will provide the selected mapping contractor with the most current information we have available, with direction to engage both county Planning Departments to receive any current mapping they may have.  Any of the map layers where the exact location of boundaries cannot be fully assured will be so delineated on the map.”

 

WE

have decided that

WE

will provide the selected mapping contractor with the most current information

WE

have available, with direction to engage both county Planning Departments to receive any current mapping they may have.

 

Beautiful.  Ask those already intimately involved with this total misrepresentation to help obscure what has already been surreptitiously accomplished?

GOOD HEAVENS! 

What a bunch of KRAPA this “WE” stuff is. 

“WE” only translates to “KAMPA & KOMPANY”.

{When an individual refers to themselves as “we” in a transparent attempt to distribute responsibility for their own disingenuous past activities, I wonder if they have a little mouse in their pocket so as to justify the “WE” representation?  You know, that way it isn’t a total lie.}

 

This is absolutely incredible, once again KAMPA & KOMPANY transforms a simple task [PRESENT THE WATER SERVICE MAP APPROVED BY LAFCo IN 1980 AT DISTRICT FORMATION] into an extremely complex, costly and drawn out process which only continues to obstruct, delay and confuse a simple issue.

36 YEARS THIS MAP HAS BEEN HIDDEN FROM CUSTOMERS

Folks, there has been a CONSISTENT REFUSAL TO FURNISH THE 1980 LAFCo APPROVED OFFICIAL  SERVICE AREA MAP FOR OUR CSD since formation, apparently because those “movers and shakers” who set it up  were focused solely on exploiting it for their own nefarious purposes.  Which was?  Providing SPECIAL BENEFIT water services outside the permitted areas originally approved by:  the CALIFORNIA PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMISSION, the STATE WATER RESOURCES CONTROL BOARD (WATER LICENSE), and ultimately, even the OFFICIAL BOUNDARIES ESTABLISHED BY TUOLUMNE AND MARIPOSA COUNTY LAFCos.

(The infamous metes and bounds survey whose map somehow mysteriously disappeared from the District’s notoriously fabricated, looted and destroyed record inventory.)

This entire matter smacks of the typical government reluctance to provide information to citizens which was responsible for creating procedures like the FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT in the first place.

Individuals and entities using PUBLIC FUNDS to push absurd “private third party special interest benefits” to the point that politicians are forced to create even more protective regulations to prevent the self-serving activities by “cheaters and crooks” who arrogantly ignore and harm taxpayers who deserve, and have paid, for much better service.  Heck, shouldn’t public officials obey their own public regulations?

You know what I’m talking about? – That whole concept of “transparency of government process” which was designed to help prevent citizens from becoming victims of behind the scene special interest manipulation and abuse of government authority.  (A certified USPS FOIA Request lost in the mail with no clue as to what happened?  Yeah, right.

Transparency procedures are worthless if the “powers that be” do not wish to participate in furnishing requested information – regardless of what some annoying law might prescribe.  lol)

With every passing day this MAP situation appears to be nothing more than a sophisticated multi-agency continuing effort to suppress, conceal, and violate the originally approved basic operation of our public agency.

OUR BAD HISTORY has been manufactured with decades of BAD motives, BAD management, and BAD [NO] LEGAL ENFORCEMENT.  This is NOT SO FUNNY and the worst part is the damage and financial costs to customers will undoubtedly increase dramatically in the future if not stopped now – but by then it will definitely be too late for corrective measures.

So once again KAMPA & KOMPANY deliberately confuse another issue in PRODUCING THE OFFICIAL WATER SERVICE BOUNDARY AREA by interjecting the

“accuracy of the technology at the time”

versus

the FACT OF WHAT WAS ORIGINALLY APPROVED IN A DETAILED ENGINEER’S SURVEY in 1980!   

WHAT? 

APPLES vs ORANGES !

Typical KAMPA KRAPA.  Ask him the time of day and he will provide detailed and expensive plans on how to build a clock –

all the while the original simple question of “what time is it?”  IS NEVER ANSWERED!

Reminds me of an irritating problem many travelers have experienced:

“What the hell is going on here – I am in Hawaii for only a couple of days but you sent all my luggage and camera equipment to Paris France!”

“Please, if you will just remain calm and be patient.  Your hostility and anger does not help the situation and may be cause for your immediate removal from the premises.  I can assure you our company possesses state of the art computer equipment and the most sophisticated property identification and tracking software in the industry and within only a few days, perhaps a week or two – tops, WE absolutely guarantee to specifically identify the precise location in Paris where you may claim your identified and safely stored luggage and equipment. Please enjoy your stay in Hawaii and be sure to fill out the CUSTOMER SATISFACTION FORM on your way out. 

Next customer in line please?”

“Please, if you will just remain calm and be patient.  Your hostility and anger does not help the situation and may be cause for your….”

 

Good Heavens Kampa….. just have the “original metes and bounds survey” that established the District’s water service area approved by LAFCo in 1980 plotted to a map and make it public on the LDPCSD website. 

Then WE can address just how badly it has been violated in the last 36 years and you can continue with explaining how to build a clock.

 

My best to you and yours, Lew

A little rain yesterday and early this morning….hoping for much, much more.  later

Just updated the LDPCSD TIMELINE (opening page top menu) with the below documents regarding the “PRIVATE WATER LINE” on Director Emery Ross’s COMMERCIAL CATTLE RANCH which is (of course) located OUTSIDE THE MERCED IRRIGATION DISTRICT PLACE OF USE FOR MERCED RIVER WATER UNDER LICENSE 11395.

I believe this TIMELINE helps to recognize general patterns of behavior/activities at a particular time and its relation to past and subsequent action.

Quite shocking that information such as this has not been acted upon in the last 18 years – but then again, with the many years of special interest OBSTRUCTIONISM by Director ROSS and the recent orchestrated return of his buddy PETE KAMPA (KAMPA COMMUNITY SOLUTIONS llc) in October 2014 – how could corrective action EVER TAKE PLACE NOW?

There has been, and is, so much fraud within this district it is almost incomprehensible.  That in itself is bad enough, but when you consider the victim property owners of the LAKE DON PEDRO OWNERS ASSOCIATION SUBDIVISION are also “MANDATORY CUSTOMERS OF THE LDPCSD”; are the “ONLY LEGALLY ENTITLED USERS OF MERCED RIVER WATER under 11395″;  and have been PAYING FOR THIS DECEPTION since the creation of the district in August of 1980 —– well, it raises the question:

WAS THIS CONTINUING NIGHTMARE INTENTIONALLY DESIGNED?  

In other words, was the LDPCSD created and intended to be a DUMMY PUBLIC AGENCY MECHANISM

to surreptitiously support/fund/furnish ALL DESIRED FUTURE LOCAL LAND DEVELOPMENT WATER SERVICE THROUGH

the “MANDATORY CUSTOMERS OF THE SUBDIVISION” whose ONLY OPTION IN OPPOSITION TO

THIS CONTINUING FRAUD (barring legitimate government intervention to enforce Federal, State and local

regulations and make corrections) would be to just “give up”, sell their property, and abandon their dream of

living in these beautiful foothills? Just a scary thought.

WHERE ARE THE LEGITIMATE GOVERNMENT “WATCH DOGS”?

Of course even “legitimate watchdogs” can be corrupted for one reason or another.  Grand Juries can be cleverly manipulated from the “inside” by powerful political influences from the “outside”.  (I have personally witnessed this in two completely separate grand juries in different counties with completely different investigations.   I speak now only of the 2012 Mariposa County Grand Jury.)

What that GJ foreman presented in that report was absolutely reprehensible!  What a load of crap – but who watches the “watchdogs”?   Good luck there – look at some of the top national issues right now – everything answers to something else.   The foreman’s intentional MISREPRESENTATION OF SIMPLE AND EASY TO CONFIRM FACT was a clear indication of the predetermined outcome of that so called “investigation”.    Remember that deal?  No?  Here it is:      PREVIOUS GJ FAILED MISERABLY

So, might we truly be left to fend for ourselves?

IS IT REALLY AS SIMPLE AS JUST FOLLOWING THE MONEY?

My best to you and yours, Lew

Sorry, but I must again say, PETER KAMPA is extremely deceitful when it comes to providing information about the legal service boundaries of the LAKE DON PEDRO CSD.  That observation is valid whether referring to his first employment tour with the District (1994-1997) or since his “VERY SUSPICIOUS RETURN” in October of 2014.

You already know my opinion on this issue, but just in case I have not “drummed it into your brain” hard enough yet – PETE KAMPA was unequivocally contacted by at least one sitting director on the board whom he had worked with in the past.  KAMPA was provided confidential information regarding the GM position opening in the future which provided him an opportunity to prepare a management contract ready for signature the day it was presented to the board- which it was.  KAMPA was the ONLY POSSIBLE APPLICANT FOR THE POSITION because the vacancy was never PUBLICLY NOTICED.  The process WAS AN INTENTIONALLY CREATED “CLOSED & SELECTIVE RECRUITMENT PROCESS” with only one possible outcome – PETE KAMPA and his KAMPA COMMUNITY SOLUTIONS llc, would be the next “REMOTE” General Manager of the LDPCSD.  Appointed on the spot without even the hint of a background check.

Heck, those directors

DID NOT EVEN EVALUATE HIS PREVIOUS EMPLOYMENT RECORD

WITH OUR LAKE DON PEDRO CSD! 

WHY you ask?   Because the directors who “recalled him” knew EXACTLY WHAT THEY WERE GOING TO GET!

Why was it imperative THAT ONLY PETE KAMPA (KAMPA COMMUNITY SOLUTIONS llc) OBTAIN THAT GM POSITION?

MUCH ADVANCED DISTRICT PREPARATION HAD ALREADY TAKEN PLACE SPECIFICALLY FOR KAMPA.

But why PETER KAMPA?

FAMILIARITY WITH DISTRICT PROBLEMS.  Not only was KAMPA quite familiar with a number of troubling DISTRICT ISSUES (ACTUALLY ASSISTED IN CREATING AND MAKING THEM WORSE YEARS BEFORE)  but he ALSO HAD INSIDE INFORMATION COMING DIRECTLY FROM A SITTING DIRECTOR ON THE BOARD he had worked with back in the 1990s who was by definition “AN OUTSIDE MIDPOU SERVICE EXPANSIONIST”.   KAMPA returned to Lake Don Pedro with not only many years of experience and training but a vast network of high level water industry contacts – both private and public agency.

CONSIDER:   The LDPCSD was “FINANCIALLY RIPE FOR PICKING” as it had been able to save over a million dollars after near bankruptcy in 2008.

THESE DISTRICT SAVINGS provided good ‘ol Pete with a substantial amount of money with which to leverage STATE and FEDERAL GRANT PROGRAMS for even more money to achieve the PREVIOUSLY UNATTAINABLE NECESSITY OF AN “ALTERNATE SOURCE OF WATER” which required a number of EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE GROUNDWATER WELLS.

The extended drought provided the PERFECT EXIGENT CIRCUMSTANCES TO CIRCUMVENT PESKY REGULATIONS AND expedite his surreptitious plan under the cover of a water emergency.   In other words, the drought provided (at least at first blush)  a “plausible deniability” as to what KAMPA was actually doing with those funds.  Totally misrepresented what they were employed to achieve.  Typical bait and switch.  Apply for the money stating it was to prevent current existing customer water loss due to a possible further drop in the lake level, yet all the while the PRIMARY OBJECTIVE WAS TO SECURE THE ALTERNATE SOURCE OF WATER NECESSARY FOR CONTINUED CIRCUMVENTION OF SERVICE RESTRICTIONS REGARDING MERCED RIVER WATER DIVERSIONS OUTSIDE THE PERMITTED PLACE OF USE under MID’s LICENSE 11395.  Evidence even suggests that the DISTRICT could have continued to pump from the lake WITHOUT THE USE OF THE NEW GROUND WELLS.  True it would have required more strenuous filtration, but it could have been done.  The ONLY REASON those ground wells were put into immediate use was to create the “DOG AND PONY SHOW” BS justification for their existence.  “HEY EVERYBODY – WITHOUT THESE WELLS WE’D BE OUT OF WATER!  “KAMPA AND KOMPANY” DID A GOOD JOB HUH?”

But even this intentionally deceitful display may have actually backfired since we now know unhealthy levels of arsenic are contained in that groundwater and without expensive removal or dilution with surface water from Lake McClure, “KAMPA & KOMPANY” in an effort to show us how great the new wells were, may have actually exposed all consumers to those higher than accepted levels of arsenic.  (This was something DIRECTOR WARREN RUSSELL brought up at the last meeting which KAMPA appeared to dismiss as insignificant since all the new wells have varying degrees of arsenic.  Wes Barton also noticed how such a potentially serious matter was sloughed off to the end of a KAMPA impromptu report which is traditionally not contained in the electronic copies sent in advance.  This way the information is “on the spot” without adequate time to read and prepare for the meeting.  Subtle little things like that add up.)    So in addition to the Manganese, Iron and other contaminants found in local groundwater (which is incidentally bad for sensitive equipment in the treatment plant) we now have to also deal with arsenic.  Just gets better every day huh?

Arsenic information

Manganese information

Drinking water contaminant rules

KAMPA was essentially tasked with finishing what he had started in the 1990s – further district water service outside the legal place of use boundaries.  Obviously the emergency environment at the time also encouraged the board to “rubber stamp” just about anything KAMPA requested – after all KAMPA was the expert in such matters – right?

KAMPA’S GROUNDWATER SUBSTITUTION PROGRAM is nothing more than a SPECIAL BENEFIT WATER SERVICE for THIRD PARTY LAND DEVELOPERS who do not want the expense of DEVELOPING AND MAINTAINING their own groundwater wells.  Yes indeed, groundwater is a risky and expensive venture in this fractured rock drought prone western Sierra Nevada foothill region BUT EVEN MORE TO THE POINT IS THE FACT OUR DISTRICT HAS NO LEGAL DUTY or MORAL OBLIGATION to provide this costly SPECIAL BENEFIT!

Property owners in the entitled LAKE DON PEDRO OWNERS ASSOCIATION RESIDENTIAL SUBDIVISION have unknowingly NOT ONLY PERMITTED one of their GREATEST REAL ESTATE SELLING POINTS – THAT OF TOP QUALITY SURFACE WATER AVAILABILITY, TO BE POLITICALLY CORRUPTED, but have PAID FOR THIS MISDIRECTION OF DISTRICT OPERATIONS FOR DECADES!

Yeah, yeah, yeah……blah, blah, blah…… you’ve heard it all before……right?

Anyway, here are some more scans I will be placing ON THE TIME LINE PAGE   [MOVED ON OPENING PAGE TOP MENU BOTTOM RIGHT – easier eh?]

SEPTEMBER 4th – SEPTEMBER 18th 1996

KAMPA (FOLLOWING BOARDS INSTRUCTION)

“WALKS BACK” HIS EXPRESSED LDPCSD EXPANSION PLANS

MADE TO TUOLUMNE COUNTY PLANNING.

DO NOT FORGET TO ADVISE MARIPOSA COUNTY PLANNING ABOUT YOUR BIG PLANS!

 

 

(BELOW) HOW MANY TIMES ARE LDPCSD CUSTOMERS GOING TO

PAY GOOD MONEY FOR THE SAME PROJECT (OBTAIN LEGAL DISTRICT SERVICE MAPS)

THAT IS EVIDENTLY NEVER COMPLETED, MUCH LESS DISCLOSED TO THE PUBLIC,

BECAUSE THE DISTRICT REFUSES TO RECOGNIZE AND FOLLOW

INCONVENIENT FACTS AND LEGAL OPERATIONAL REGULATIONS?

 

[BELOW]

I SURE DO RESPECT HOW TUOLUMNE COUNTY STOOD UP TO OUR

LOCAL LAND DEVELOPMENT/REAL ESTATE PRESSURE

TO MODIFY EXISTING REGULATIONS AND ZONING.

CHECK OUT TUOLUMNE COUNTY’S RESPONSE TO

KAMPA’S DESPERATE PLEA TO QUICKLY PROCESS

HIS DESIRED “SPHERE OF INFLUENCE” BOUNDARY CHANGES .

NOTE:  TUOLUMNE COUNTY ALSO DID NOT CONCEDE TO A “LATE ON THE SCENE” LAND DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION OUT OF SAN RAMON.  LOOK WHAT THAT CORPORATION DID ON THE MARIPOSA COUNTY SIDE OF THE LAKE DON PEDRO RESIDENTIAL SUBDIVISION BY CONSTRUCTING NUMEROUS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS “DEVELOPER CONVENIENCE ROADS” TO ACCESS TRADITIONALLY DIFFICULT TO DEVELOP PROPERTIES JUST TO AVOID THE EXPENSE OF INDIVIDUAL DRIVEWAYS.  

THOSE “CONVENIENCE ROADS” VIOLATED SRA (STATE RESPONSIBILITY AREA) 1991 FIRE SAFE REGULATIONS REGARDING PROPER ROADWAY CONSTRUCTION.  THE ROADWAY OFF ALAMO DRIVE VIOLATES AT LEAST 6 PUBLIC SAFETY REGULATIONS SPECIFICALLY CREATED BY THE STATE LEGISLATURE TO PROTECT LIFE AND PROPERTY!  SRA 1991 REGULATIONS WERE COMPLETELY IGNORED AND CIRCUMVENTED 12 YEARS AFTER PASSAGE!

 

 

 

I recalled reading the original contract between SIERRA HIGHLANDS WATER COMPANY and RALPH STURTEVANT some time ago and that the actual number of water meters agreed to was 10 and not 7 as Ross had stated.  [Perhaps EMERY ROSS became confused with the fact SEVEN (7) METERS WERE “LIBERATED” or wrongfully procured, if you prefer,  by other property owners whose property was far removed from the STURTEVANT RANCH TANK LOCATION?]    The below LDPCSD Resolution also confirms that those water meters were to be placed at or near the the main pipeline to the proposed water tank which is now commonly known as the “STURTEVANT TANK” in the Granite Springs area.

So once again, how did several water meters

intended for the STURTEVANT RANCH AND AT A PARTICULAR LOCATION

end up being “LIBERATED” by others and used else where?

(With their SUBSEQUENT GROUNDWATER SUBSTITUTION PROGRAM

BEING PAID FOR SINCE THEN BY THE

LEGAL USERS OF MERCED RIVER WATER IN THE WATER LICENSE ENTITLED LDPOA RESIDENTIAL SUBDIVISION?)

RECALL ALSO THAT EMERY ROSS WAS SPECIFICALLY DENIED A WATER METER BY STURTEVANT RANCH WHEN PURCHASING HIS PROPERTY AND DENIED WATER SERVICE MULTIPLE TIMES BY THE LAKE DON PEDRO COMMUNITY SERVICES DISTRICT.

 

Here’s the RESOLUTION  —need to get back to work but I remembered this “loose end” concerning DIRECTOR ROSS AND HIS INCORRECT STATEMENT and wanted you folks to see the confirmation of what I said during that meeting.

I have a lot of work to catch up on around here today but wanted to get a quick post out regarding another piece of this DOSCHER PROPERTY PUZZLE and how it was VERY QUIETLY RE-DESIGNATED AS BEING WITHIN THE LDPCSD SERVICE BOUNDARY IN 2014.

 

 

BACKGROUND:  GM PETE KAMPA [KAMPA COMMUNITY SOLUTIONS llc] during the LDPCSD September 19^th, 2016  Monthly Board Meeting stated that MARIPOSA COUNTY LAFCo (Local Area Formation Commission) had set the LDPCSD water service BOUNDARIES at the time of DISTRICT formation in 1980 and the boundaries have not been changed since.   The “infamous official survey” which was used to determine the LDPCSD service area boundaries approved by LAFCo in 1980, is presented in SURVEYOR’S LANGUAGE [metes and bounds) which obviously DOES NOT ASSIST the “average person” in ascertaining whether a property is within those service boundaries.   That survey will now be used by KAMPA to re-create the SERVICE MAP which has been concealed, lost, or otherwise destroyed since early in the DISTRICT’S OPERATIONS.

[THAT IN ITSELF (missing map) IS A VERY BIG CLUE AS TO HOW THIS DISTRICT WAS MISDIRECTED VERY EARLY ON IN ITS EXISTENCE – because that map is one of the most important documents, if not the most important document, as to the legally intended operation of this community services district.]

KAMPA stated the official LDPCSD SPHERE OF INFLUENCE (SOI) boundary was also established by LAFCo in 1987.

Something is not right here folks.

Check out page 5 (below) of the December 5th, 1988 LDPCSD Minutes

regarding this 900 +/- acre PROPOSED SUBDIVISION PROPERTY

which MARIPOSA COUNTY LAFCo in 2014 INCLUDED WITHIN THE LDPCSD SERVICE AREA!

Considering the above December 5th, 1988 LDPCSD BOARD MEETING MINUTES:

 

How could the DOSCHER PROPERTY even have been included in the LDPCSD Sphere of Influence in 1987 when major issues regarding property’s status existed in 1988?

How was the PROPERTY determined to be WITHIN THE LDPCSD SERVICE BOUNDARIES in 2014 by LAFCo and LDPCSD REPRESENTATIVES?

My best to you and yours, Lew

IF YOU READ the recital carefully, there might be another way to interpret this…..yes indeed, it is a matter of parsing words, but lately that’s all we’ve heard from KAMPA & KOMPANY!

 

 

 

“THE MAPS WERE REVIEWED BY THE DISTRICT”  AND “THE MATTER WAS DISCUSSED WITH LAFCo STAFF” (Could be two different situations WITHOUT a meeting of the minds.  Discussion between LAFCo staff and district and they come out of “deliberations” with an agreement and ultimately receive Commissioner Approval without the Commissioners knowing all the facts of how SOI property suddenly jumped into the district service boundary without investigation?)

“THE DISTRICT HAS AGREED THAT THE SPHERE OF INFLUENCE AND SERVICE AREA BOUNDARIES DO REFLECT PAST LAFCo ACTIONS AND HAVE AGREED TO HAVE THEM INCLUDED IN THE LAFCo POLICY MANUAL”   Ahhhhh, what LAFCo actions?

WHAT INDIVIDUALS COMPRISED “THE DISTRICT”?

WHAT COUNTY PLANNING STAFF WERE INVOLVED?

WHAT LAFCo STAFF WERE INVOLVED?

WHEN WAS THE DOSCHER ANNEXATION APPROVED?

WHEN WAS AN MSR COMPLETED FOR THAT CSD BOUNDARY CHANGE?

WHY IS THIS THE FIRST MAP TO EVER SHOW THE DOSCHER PROPERTY AS WITHIN THE BOUNDARIES AND NOT SOI?

KAMPA STATED LAST WEEK THERE HAS NEVER BEEN AN ANNEXATION TO THIS DISTRICT SINCE 1980…. YET HE OBVIOUSLY AND SPECIFICALLY AVOIDED PRESENTING THIS “OFFICIAL LAFCo MAP” OF OUR BOUNDARIES EVER SINCE HIRED IN OCTOBER OF 2014, WHY?

BEFORE I LEFT THE BOARD (LATE 2014) THERE HAD ALREADY BEEN OBVIOUS TALK OF DISTRICT EXPANSION BEYOND THE PERMITTED AREAS OF THE WATER LICENSE, EVEN DANNY JOHNSON SPOKE OF HAVING FOUND SOMEONE WHO COULD WRITE THE GRANTS FOR THE MONEY FOR THE GROUNDWATER WELLS …..WAS THAT KAMPA A FEW MONTHS BEFORE HIS “BOARD ORCHESTRATED CLOSED RECRUITMENT PROCESS” APPOINTED HIM AND HIS KAMPA COMMUNITY SOLUTIONS, IGM?

WHY WAS I SPECIFICALLY PROHIBITED FROM ATTENDING THAT MEETING CONSIDERING I HAD DONE MORE RESEARCH ON THAT ISSUE THAN ANY DIRECTOR ON THE BOARD?  HELL MY GARAGE WAS A MAP LIBRARY!

DIRECTOR EMERY ROSS?  HOW COULD AN OUTSIDE PLACE OF USE PROPERTY OWNER, PREVIOUSLY DENIED WATER SERVICE BY BOTH THE SELLER OF THE LAND HE PURCHASED, AS WELL AS THE LDPCSD, START A COMMERCIAL CATTLE RANCH WITH A “LIBERATED WATER METER” FROM ANOTHER RANCHER, DEVELOP A STOCK WATERING POND IN THE MIDDLE OF SUMMER NEAR AN UNDOCUMENTED WATERLINE WHICH HAPPENS TO RUN THROUGH HIS PROPERTY WITHOUT A PUBLIC UTILITY EASEMENT OR CHECK METER;  WHO IS REPEATEDLY RE-ELECTED DUE TO THE GERRYMANDERING OF THE DISTRICT BOUNDARIES – BEEN ASKED BY THE GRAND JURY TO STEP DOWN AS PRESIDENT OF THE BOARD – POSSIBLY NOT HAVE A CONFLICT OF INTEREST WITH DETERMINING WHERE THE LEGAL LDPCSD WATER SERVICE BOUNDARIES WERE WHEN THE OFFICIAL RECORDS CONCERNING HIS OWN WATER SERVICE HISTORY WERE SOME HOW LOST THROUGH THE YEARS? 

STRANGE.  I RECALL AROUND THE TIME OF THE RAW WATER LINE BREAK AT BARRETTS COVE KAMPA SPECIFICALLY SAYING THERE HAD BEEN NO ACTION/WORK ON THE DOSCHER PROPOSED SUBDIVISION OR POSSIBILITY OF RUNNING A NEW RAW WATER LINE THROUGH HIS PROPERTY INVESTIGATED…….I ASKED DURING A MEETING – YET NOW THIS?

 

IF NOT FOR THE FACT I’M EXHAUSTED AND NEED SLEEP…..I MIGHT BELIEVE THIS WAS ALREADY A NIGHTMARE THAT JUST WON’T END

…..THAT’S IT, I’VE GOT TO CRASH.  GOOD NIGHT!  MORE LATER

MY BEST TO YOU AND YOURS, LEW

 

AFRAID TO SLEEP….MIGHT WAKE UP TO DISCOVER LDPCSD HAS ANNEXED DEATH VALLEY!

 

Wow, feel like I should be on SO WWW?

OK, much LDPCSD boundary expansion anticipated around the STURTEVANT RANCH/GRANITE SPRINGS AREA – if my green marks on the section map are any indication.  Why that far outside the MIDPOU for MERCED RIVER WATER service?  The STURTEVANT RANCH AGREEMENT makes sense with the respect to the 10 meters and future water use, although I believe it was limited as to a particular area, and I don’t have time to research that right now, but the point is of the agreement possibly influencing those boundaries makes sense on one level, but on another level it does not.

IF TEN METERS WERE PROVIDED FOR FUTURE WATER USE, THE NUMBER IS KNOWN, A PROBABLE USE DETERMINED.  10 SERVICE CONNECTIONS WHICH HELPS IN CALCULATING ANTICIPATED DEMAND FOR THE FUTURE (assuming traditional uses of water) but allowing anyone who subsequently purchases land from that ranch and is CLEARLY NOT ENTITLED TO A METER, IS REFUSED WATER FROM THE DISTRICT, BUT STILL SOMEHOW OBTAINS A WATER METER THAT IS CHARGED TO SOMEONE ELSE  (SOME RECORDS ARE MISSING/DESTROYED REGARDING THIS SERVICE) AND IS PERMITTED TO START A COMMERCIAL CATTLE RANCHING BUSINESS is a bit difficult to understand.   So anyway, there are very large parcels of land up there to the northeast and west of the residential subdivision that could multiply with future subdivisions bringing much higher water demands all based on, and INSURED BY, the property owners of the LDPOA and their GROUNDWATER SUBSTITUTION PROGRAM COMPLIMENTS OF KAMPA & KOMPANY.

ANYWAY, MAPS PRODUCED BY KAMPA 

1.  KAMPA’S “Exhibit B” LDPCSD OFFICIAL BOUNDARY MAP

The handwritten “15” was on the copy contained in the agenda packet.  I am unaware of the original material from which this map was removed but it sure looks to be a modified version of a 2008 LAFCo Map.   Since customers were once again required to hand number their own agenda packets, this map actually appeared on page 52 of the September agenda packet.

 

 

(BELOW)  2008 LAFCo MAP.  Modified copy of above?  Who knows which one was the first, but there are “unrelated blemishes” copied to both maps.  Also notice that although the LAFCo Map (bottom) is clearly labeled “Exhibit C” in the bottom right corner, it is also labeled in the title block to the left as “Exhibit B” in small print above the word LEGEND.   I  don’t know about you folks, but these maps sure as hell don’t look authentic to me – at least not produced by a professional engineer who surveyed the area.

LAFCo 2008 Draft Sewer MSR page 20 of 57 “Exhibit C”

Now on the above LAFCo Map I must take responsibility for the yellow colored PINEY CREEK ISLAND OF SERVICE (something LAFCos are supposed to avoid – islands of services).  Years ago I marked that as a curiosity in my beginning journey in understanding our LDPCSD Boundary matters (wonder when that trip will end?).   Later I realized in addition to being an island of water service, it was also a good example of election Gerrymandering because that area does not receive LDPCSD water, pays no fees, but is supposedly in our district so individuals living in that mobile home park (and else where) can vote in our elections.

Considering our elections are sometimes settled by a very close margin (a few votes) this is a VERY BIG ISSUE THAT NEEDS INVESTIGATION AS WELL.  

How can individuals NOT VESTED IN THE DISTRICT possibly BE ALLOWED to determine who will or will not serve on the BOARD OF DIRECTORS?

Real sketchy information about that whole thing, but I do know such information is used in Sacramento by the State Board of Equalization (among other Boards, Departments, Agencies, Offices for various purposes) to establish the local TAX RATE AREA (TRA).  If it is still the same, LAKE DON PEDRO has many more TRAs than most, if not all, parts of Mariposa County.   There’s a blog posting on this site somewhere about that issue.  Anyway, I colored Piney Creek with a highlighter and ANY INVESTIGATION SHOULD TAKE A LOOK AT HOW TRAs figure into the fraud against the property owners of the LDPOA subdivision by the LDPCSD – for decades!2.

 

2.  KAMPA’S POSTED “SPHERE OF INFLUENCE” MAP ON THE LDPCSD WEBSITE

Not a bad looking map and in all likelihood obtained from MARIPOSA COUNTY LAFCo RESOLUTION 2014-16 which updated LDPCSD Maps for their records.

 

(BELOW)  Here’s what the LAFCo LDPCSD SOI (Sphere of Influence) MAP looked like attached to LAFCo RESOLUTION 2014-15:

 

OK, the two maps appear to be the same, but wait a minute, something’s wrong here.  Check out where this SOI Map KAMPA used for the website came from – the LAFCo Resolution which contained two maps – not just the SOI!  This is where I get very upset and wonder how far LDPCSD corruption actually extends.

 

 

 

DO YOU SEE IT?   THE DIFFERENCE OF PROPERTY WITHIN THE BOUNDARY? 

BOTTOM RIGHT QUADRANT? 

NOW I FINALLY UNDERSTAND WHY KAMPA HAS BEEN AVOIDING

THE MAP ISSUE FOR SO LONG!

WHY HE OFFERED THE “EXHIBIT B” MAP BELOW

AS THE OFFICIAL LDPCSD SERVICE BOUNDARY!

INSTEAD OF THE OTHER LAFCo MAP BELOW!

 

 

 

NOW IT GETS INTERESTING

Check out the above documents.  I am mad as hell because the way I see it there are few ways for something like this to occur.  Unfortunately the most probable orbit around REPRESENTATIVES OF THE LDPCSD INTENTIONALLY PROVIDING FALSE INFORMATION TO MARIPOSA COUNTY PLANNING AND LAFCo WHO THEN WITH A “WINK AND A NOD” ACQUIESCED BY ACCEPTING AND PLACING THIS ABSOLUTE FABRICATION OF THE TRUTH IN OFFICIAL LAFCo FILES.  (SURE HOPE THE COUNTY TAKES BETTER CARE OF OFFICIAL RECORDS THAN THE LDPCSD.)

AT THIS POINT I REALLY DO NOT KNOW WHO TO TRUST,

SO AS ALWAYS, I LEFT THAT ISSUE WITH YOU – THE PUBLIC VIEWERS. 

I BELIEVE THERE IS SOMETHING HORRIBLY WRONG HERE THAT TRANSCENDS JUST A DEVIOUSLY CREATED AND CORRUPTED COMMUNITY SERVICES DISTRICT.   IT IS THE WHOLE  “DO WHAT EVER IS NECESSARY ENVIRONMENT” THAT IS CONSUMING OUR ENTIRE COUNTRY.   “YEAH, THAT’S REAL BAD BUT……”   “NOT MY JOB”  “I DON’T CARE WHAT THEY DO”  “SO LONG AS I DRAW A PAYCHECK/STIPEND”  “WHY SHOULD I RISK MY FAMILY’S SECURITY TO LOCK HORNS WITH THE MOVERS AND SHAKERS OF THIS AREA?”  “WHO WILL EVER FIND OUT?”  “WHAT’S THE WORST THEY COULD DO?”  “JUST SAY IT WAS A SIMPLE MISTAKE”……oh what a tangled web we weave

SO MANY GOOD HONEST PUBLIC OFFICIALS GET TAINTED WITH, CAUGHT UP, OR PULLED INTO, SUCH OBVIOUS CIRCUMVENTION OF, NOT ONLY ESTABLISHED RULES AND REGULATIONS THAT MAY BE INCONVENIENT AND OBSTRUCT DESIRED PROGRESS, BUT THE METICULOUS AVOIDANCE OF SOMETHING FAR MORE IMPORTANT – THE TRUTH!

EVERYONE IS HARMED, INDIVIDUALS, COMPANIES, COMMUNITIES, AND EVERY GOVERNMENT AGENCY AND/OR EMPLOYEE INVOLVED IN SUCH APPARENT FRAUD WHO TURNS THEIR HEAD AND IGNORES WHAT THEY KNOW TO BE WRONG – MINIMIZES THEIR OWN REPUTATION AS WELL,  BE IT PROFESSIONAL, INDIVIDUAL, SPIRITUAL, WHATEVER – WHERE IS THE BASIC CONCEPT OF CONSCIENCE AND SHAME?

There’s a lot more to this but I’m pooped.

My best to you and yours, Lew
