COURTS APPARENTLY RULES FOR GREED/Development

ELSINORE MAGAZINE 2

July 30,05

In a court ruling announced by Elsinore Valley Municipal Water District, EVMWD's attorney, Jim Gilpin, announced that the courts have ruled in favor of the 3rtd St. sewer/water project for the various new developments.

EM2 wants it to be known that 3rd St. when it was a subdivision of San Diego County, was dedicated land for public use and became known as Bell St. This action took place in the years 1886-87 and is a 60 feet wide right of way for PUBLIC USE. There is at least one law on the books that states, and I quote, "land dedicated as streets for public use is not a taken under eminent domain."

FOLKS THIS COULD BE ONE OF YOU!!! We as citizens should be OUTRAGED !!! Call EVMWD at (951) 674-3146 to express yourself.

The Elsinore Valley Municipal Water District has egregiously and in a heartless unethical manner used eminent domain to infringe not only on the rights and wishes of the dedicator and their HEIRS but also the rights of the public. The public has a vested interest and the right to the enjoyment of 3rd.St. Along with the children's right to ride their bikes on 3rd street. EVMWD have infringed on the dedicator wishes and the rights of all the public in a most ungracious way. The city of Lake Elsinore along with EVMWD. It would appear have, in a collusive manner,conspired against all interested parties and secretly used the procedures of eminent domain to violate the rights of all interested parties. EM2 first noticed an agenda item " Hearing to vacate 3rd street" in Feburary.The apparent collusive conpiracy was noticed when the city of Lake Elsinore continued the 3rd street hearings from Feburary every 2nd and 4th Tuesday of each month there after. Giving EVMWD time,basically,to secretly file a Resolution of Necessity to eminent domain 3rd street to install a sewer/water pump station. In the mean time the CORRUPT city of Lake Elsinore still continuing the Hearings to vacate 3rd street in the name of EVMWD while the City of Lake Elsinore was negotiating a purchase price to buy 3rd St. from it's owners,the City of Lake Elsinore. The whole time the city and EVMWD were putting one over on all interested parties. At the regular Council meeting on June 28th is when the Council allowed the hearings to finally go forward. And after all that,at the same council meeting,the city declared themselves a moot party and EVMWD had already secretly obtained a court judgement to eminent domain the public's right of way,3rd St. And the CORRUPT city and EVMWD'S negotiations to purchase 3rd street had already went out the window without another word. And yet another issue, the derelection of duties and responsibilities of EVMWD and the City has left these two public entities facing SEQA and State Law violations ie:

1.) Failure to notify all property owners within 300 feet of proposed site thus cutting off property owners ability to show contemplated future plans and or comments during the SEQA process. (Enviormental Study Report.)

2.) It appears civil rights have been violated. What the public needs is someone honest like Peter Weber and Christine Hyland to protect the public's interest.

Director Christine Hyland is the lone vote in the public's interest. Perhaps in her official capacity she could start a campagin to have EVMWD investigated with a independent audit on finances and procedures. EM2 would point out that on each side of 3rd street is more than 3 acres of vacant land but EVMWD chose to eminent domain the street which gave ingress and egress to the land owners. Now the land in part, is land locked, from the full use of 3rd streets ingress and egress.

In EM2's opinion, (and Chucks) the other four directors are absolutely and completely worthless !@!!!!!!!!!@! Also they are GREEEDY, EGOTESTICAL(whoops), SELF-CENTERED, DIRTY LO)W DOWN SCOUNDRELS with DEEE$EEEEEP POCKETS!!!!! And that is keeping it short and mild.

Legal Fee Excess? Press Enterprise Editorial

LEGAL - FEE EXCESS

As written by The Press Enterprise Editorial

Lake Elsinore should consider hiring a full time

City Attorney __ as recommended last week by

the Riverside County Grand Jury __ Instead of

perpetuating an expensive contract with an outside

firm.

The grand jury's report chides the city for spending too much

money on the law firm Van Blarcom, Leibold, McClendon and Mann.

The city has paid up to $ 800,000 a year to its attorney Barbara Leibold.

And Lake Elsinore has budgeted for $550,000 in legal fees for the upcoming

fiscal year.

Cities Lake Elsinore's size typically pay city attorneys $ 125,000 to $ 175,000, annually plus benefits, although some cities also hire assistant city

attorneys and other support staff that boost the cost of in-house counsel.

At the least, the city should audit the expenses of Leibold firm.

As the grand jury noted, Lake Elsinore officials have renewed

the city's contract with the Orange-based law firm for seven

years without an open bidding process.

The city pays a $ 7,000 a month retainer pluss $155 an hour for

unspecified services.

Taxpayers have the right to know what they're getting for their money.

And the Lake Elsinore's treasurer Peter Weber agrees that the city might save

money by hiring a city attorney.

The city council would do well to audit both approaches:

outside councel versus city attorney__ and use the data to

pick the cost -effective course.

The Press ENTERPRESS wrote this above article July 6, 2005

A newspaper article showed that the Riverside County counsel

get paid only $180,000 annually. All are much lower than the

$550,00 to $ 800,000. paid city attorney Leibold.

EM 2 highly suspect that a majority council will not replace the city's attorney

for an in- house attorney because suspicion is on the rise that some councilpersons

have a need to cover up wrong doing.

Notice the council has did nothing about any of the improprities

it has become obvious that they would attempt to cover up

wrong doing.

What a joke for the city of Lake Elsinore to believe they can pay big

bucks to restore the city's image, when the real problem

is in-house. The projection of poor management. Mr. and Mrs.

councilperson please do not use any tax monies

to put a bandage on the problem. The citizens deserve better!!!

Folks in view of the GRAND JURY REPORT 2004 2005

EM2 suggest's that the citizens draw up a petition calling for a Federal Investigation

on not only the City Attorney's Financial Billings, but the state of the City's finances as a whole. There is something terribly wrong with City's Funds. Apparently, the City Attorney Ms. Barbara Liebold, is attempting to escape the Independent Audit Recommended in the Grand Jury Report for 2004 -2005 by claiming attorney client priviledges. EM2 believes that ATTORNEY CLIENT PRIVILEDGES do not apply concerning funds paid out of taxpayers monies for the city attorney's billings. The position of City Attorney is a public office which is paid for by public funds. Thereby, making the position and any funds used, public information, therefore falling under the Public Records Act.Citizens can and definitely should petition for State and Federal audits. Under The City Attorney's and Councilperson's Genie Kelley and Bob Schiffner's WATCH, it has been discovered that money is MISSING!!! The trail of which is still yet to be discovered. Also, MISUSE OF THE HEALTH & WELLNESS BENEFIT PACKAGE VIOLATING RESOLUTION 88-1 together with MISUSE OF CITY CREDIT CARDS and other funds is Incomprehensable!!! An apparent ILLEGAL AGREEMENT, where as a private developer gets paid $ 100,000.00 every June which are paid by other property owners through Bond issue 98 L.L.C. (This issue and all the other issues are documented). City employees working under duress, along with stressful conditions, has caused a split and dissencion among City Staff. The most egregious thing about it all, is that the present day City Council goes,"Day In and Day Out" (wide awake...out acting as if nothing were wrong), CREATING more DEBT when they all should be grossly outraged at the BARE FACTS of whats BEEN going on and themselves!!!!!!! We can ONLY count on the City Treasurer, Mr. Peter Weber, who is showing that he cares about the finances of OUR CITY in the interest of OUR CITY. The CITIZENS and TAXPAYERS get no help from the Council(except creating higher tax bills) but at least he should for doing whats right, NO MATTER WHAT !!!!

BESIDES...how do you spell F A I T H !!!

The Council should be calling for both Local and Federal Investigations. Since the Council isn't doing anything, the CITZENS should, SERIOUSLY, through either a petition or a flood of personage ATTENDING THE COUNCIL MEETINGS, askig them to call for a serious investigation like they have going on in San Diego.

Councilpersons Genie Kelley and Robert Bob Magee are obviously losing focus on the real issues at hand. As per:

1.) The Rosetta Canyon area FIRE STATION, for HOME developement on Highway 74 close to the I- 15 freeway.

2.) More police protection IS needed and the police department needs to KNOW THAT THEY HAVE a strong supply of back up!!!

3.) How to resurface and maintain our present streets is not by spraying with hot oil. Repairs of many of our streets IS badly needed. For example, a huge pot hole repair, consisted of the Public Works Dept. coming out and spraying the word STOP in the pot hole. Hows that for efficiency???

4.) Having Town Hall Meetings meetings, more often, in a stronger effort to keep the citizens well informed on the state of the city.

5.) The planning of SAFETY and SECURITY MEASURES in the event of (God forbid)disasters. What citizens should do.

Instead they are focusing on projects, all of which should have long ago been introduced in a LONG TERM PLAN, as required by STATE LAW. They are on the late freight express on the Boys and Girls Club, and a new City Hall.

Here comes that WHIPPIN TRAIN again. HEADED FOR DOWNTOWN LAKE ELSINORE!!!

And now as a California News article reports "CITY SEEKS LOBBYIST" in WASHINGTON D.C.

"Lake Elsinore goal is to get Funds for SAFETY, the lake, and TRANSPORTATION. Again these issues/PROJECTS should first be addressed in the LONG TERM PLAN as required by STATE LAW. Every councilperson sworn in is highly expected to uphold the CONSTITUTION and STATE LAW. And also the Grand Jury Report Recommendations as well.They should be following the laws, not breaking them!!!

Chances are they will attempt to duct the Grand Jury Report because it will incriminate their own wrong doing on the FINANCES of OUR CITY. Because as quiet as it is kept, the FOX , that was sent to watch the chickens is laying on the council table, FAT AS HELL!!! On the TAKE. The CITIZENS/TAXPAYERS will need to work together to expose all involved. It will not happen on it's own, there needs to be a BREAKOUT!!!
