More than eight months after what was then a newly-composed Barstow City Council gave then-City Manager Nikki Salas the heave-ho, San Bernardino County’s northernmost city has settled upon an experienced governmental administrator currently working in Northern California to oversee operations at City Hall.
The full city council on Monday, September 20 approved the hiring of Willie A. Hopkins, Jr., the director of Alameda County’s general services agency, as city administrator.
The action taken this week was anticlimactic, as previously, at a special meeting of the city council on September 9, after a discussion in closed session, City Attorney Matthew Summers informed the public, “The city council is excited to announce the appointment of a new city administrator, Mr. Willie Hopkins, who is currently the agency director for the general services agency of Alameda County up in the Bay Area, and the plan will be tonight the appointment followed by September 20, the next regular council meeting, will be formal approval of the appointment with the resolution of appointment, the contract and a staff report with a little more detail.”
There was a minor flap that attended Hopkins’ hiring, in that the search for Salas’s permanent replacement had been conducted in virtual secret, with the city having hired Andersen & Associates, a recruiting/headhunting firm, to invite applicants and compile a list of candidates for the position designated not as city manager but rather city administrator, which implies a slight if not fully explicated change in duties.
The city had openly changed the title/job designation from city manager to city administrator in split 3-to-2 and then-4-to-1 votes at its March 15 and April 5 meetings.
Of note, there was no clarity with regard to the city having retained Andersen and Associates to carry out the recruitment. Other than closed session items at multiple council meetings over the last seven months during which some level of unspecified discussion with regard to filling the city manager/city administrator position took place, there was little to indicate what progress was being made in replacing Salas. Following those closed-session discussions held outside the earshot and scrutiny of the public, Summers would provide a terse statement that no reportable action had been taken.
The city council and Summers justified drawing the veil over the city administrator application and hiring process by referring to it as “a confidential recruitment.”
Indeed, it is a general practice among cities to restrict information about applicants for city manager/city administrator positions or even department directorships, as applicants for those jobs often or even in a majority of cases hold positions with other cities, and the applicants may not want their current employer to know they are about to bug out for greener pastures or a more prestigious position or a higher salary elsewhere. This sort of employment promiscuity is winked at and tolerated among municipalities as there is a code, apparently, within the municipal culture that holds it is okay for one city to poach another city’s top employees. Still, there may be several or dozens or even scores of applicants for a position such as city manager, and only one of those candidates in the end will be selected. A city manager who applied for a job elsewhere can find himself or herself in a bad position wherein he or she will lose the trust of the council he or she must work with if those council members know he or she is not 100 percent loyal to the city that employs him or her and is contemplating leaving.
Nevertheless, it is not standard operating procedure for a city to hide that it is using a headhunting firm to compile a list of candidates to be considered by its elected decision-makers. The law and principles of open government require that when a city contracts for goods or services, that action, before it is taken, be agendized for a vote of the council at an open public meeting. Neither Mayor Paul Anthony Courtney nor any of the city council members nor Summers has explained how Andersen and Associates was hired to carry out the recruitment without it being disclosed to the public.
Salas held the position of Barstow city manager for 21 months before she was unceremoniously shown the door. Her forced exit came barely two months after Courtney had been elected mayor in a race in which the incumbent, Julie Hackbarth-McIntyre was chased from office. Also newly elected in November 2020 were Barbara Rose and Marilyn Dyer Kruse. Rose filled the position on the council that had been vacated by former Councilman Richard Harpole, who left to move to Texas in January 2020, after which no effort to fill his position throughout the first ten months of 2020 was made. Kruse defeated incumbent Councilwoman Carmen Hernandez in the November 2020 election. The newly-formed council had little more than a month in office after Courtney, Rose and Kruse were sworn in in December 2020 when it collectively voted to cashier Salas.
Salas had held the positions of director of human resources and risk management director with Apple Valley from 2009 until June 2016, at which point she promoted to assistant town manager before leaving Apple Valley in 2018 to become, for seven months, the director of human resources with Napa County. She was lured back to the Mojave Desert in early 2019, when she was recruited to replace Curt Mitchell as city manager in March of that year. Salas had successfully competed for the Barstow city manager position against 72 others who had been evaluated by the firm Peckham & McKenney, which recommended a set of finalists to be interviewed by a selection panel which included the city council and city luminaries including former Mayor Lawrence Dale. Salas was given the nod over the other finalists.
No reason was specified for giving Salas the boot in January. She was temporarily replaced by Barstow Police Chief Albert Ramirez, who served as acting city manager until former Adelanto City Manager Jim Hart was brought in as interim city manager.
The city council apparently felt that Hopkins is right for Barstow. He is being provided with a $220,000 salary and benefits of roughly $70,000 per year for a total annual compensation package of $290,000, along with a one-time $5,000 relocation payment to induce him to move his primary residence to Barstow, 200 hours of vacation leave annually, 96 hours of sick leave per year and and 80 hours of executive leave on top of that. His benefits include medical, dental and vision coverage equal to the standard provided to those in the city’s management echelon. He is also to receive a $500 per month car allowance and a $100,000 life insurance and accidental death coverage plan.
By comparison, Salas was provided with an annual salary of $142,000 and benefits of $67,000 for a total annual compensation of $209,000.
Hopkins is a graduate of Alcorn State University where he obtained a degree in business administration and was a member of the Reserve Officer Training Corps. He served in the U.S. Army from September 1985 until April of 1996.
He was a plant manager and then the North American operations process manager with Ashland Inc. from January 1996 until January 2001.
Thereafter, from August of 2003 until October 2008 he was the director of General Services with Fulton County in Florida. In October 2008 he was hired as assistant city manager in Pompano Beach, Florida.
From there, he moved to Georgia in 2013, where he was the director of the support services agency for Cobb County.
In December 2015, he was hired into his current position with Alameda County.

U.S. Federal District Judge Otis Wright II on September 20 ruled that a succession of U.S. Department of the Interior secretaries and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service fell down in their respective duties to protect the dwindling Joshua Tree population in California’s deserts from the threat of extinction, ordering the current secretary and the service to take whatever measures are appropriate to ensure the survival of the plant, known by its scientific name, Yucca Brevifolia.
Judge Wright’s ruling arose out of a lawsuit brought by the WildEarth Guardians in 2015 under the Endangered Species Act to have the iconic tree listed as threatened.
Under the Endangered Species Act, plant and animal species may be formally or officially listed as either endangered or threatened. “Endangered” means a species is in danger of extinction throughout all or a significant portion of its range. “Threatened” means a species is likely to become endangered within the foreseeable future. There are two informal or non-official terms also applied to various species, those being “imperiled” or “at risk.” Although imperiled or at risk are not legal terms under the Endangered Species Act, they are terms used by biologists to connote that animals and plants are in decline and may be in danger of extinction. Those terms can include species that are at low populations and near extinction but still not legally protected under the Endangered Species Act.
In the six years since WildEarth Guardians brought that action, the oversight orientation of the U.S. Department of Interior has zigged and zagged. In 2015, under the Barack Obama Administration, Republicans and private property rights advocates considered those to be in control of the Department of the Interior to be tree huggers who were unreasonably protective of natural resources and obstructionists to economic development, in particular to the construction of buildings on remote or undeveloped federal properties. With the advent of the Donald Trump Administration, Kevin “Jack” Haugrud served as the acting secretary of the interior from the end of the Obama administration on January 20, 2017 until the swearing in of Ryan Zinke on March 1, 2017.  Zinke served as secretary of the Interior from 2017 until his resignation in 2019. Zinke was succeeded by David Bernhardt. A key Trump Administration appointee in the Department of the Interior was  acting Assistant Secretary for Land and Minerals Management Casey Hammond.
During the four years the Trump Administration remained in place, under the guidance of Haugrad, Zinke, Bernhardt and Hammond, action on the WildEarth Guardians request languished. Even after the transition to the Joseph Biden Administration in January, with Deb Haaland replacing Bernhardt and Laura Daniel Davis displacing Hammond, the sought-after protection of the Joshua Trees in the California desert were not forthcoming from the Department of the Interior or U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service While it was believed in some circles that WildEarth Guardians might forsake their legal quest and allow things to take their natural course under the Biden Administration, which was believed to be far more sympathetic to ecological issues than its predecessor, the suit remained active.
One consideration was that federal and state protections for endangered species are sometimes different and the protection regimes run along differing tracks.
This week, Judge Wright informed Deb Haaland that she and her predecessors as well as the the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service had not provided the Joshua tree the protection it is due under the Endangered Species Act, saying the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s failure to act was “arbitrary and capricious.”
Federal officials, Judge Wright opined, had disregarded scientific studies which have found that the Joshua tree is on a trajectory toward extinction by the end of the 21st Century.
The United States Fish and Wildlife Service made a finding in August 2019 that the endangered listing for the trees was “not warranted.” WildEarth Guardians countered that “all the available scientific evidence point(s) to the… conclusion [that] Joshua trees will be in danger of extinction throughout most of their current range by century’s end from climate change-driven habitat loss, invasive grass fueled wildfire, and other stressors.”
In its suit, WildEarth Guardians presented substantial, indeed what Wright characterized as “overwhelming,” evidence the Trump administration and the United States Wildlife Service ignored every available peer-reviewed study to model future climate impacts to Joshua trees, all of which concurred in the estimation that roughly 90 percent of the species’ current range will be rendered unsuitable by 2099. Judge Wright lambasted the service’s decision in the ruling, stating that “[I]n concluding that climate change will not affect Joshua trees at a population or species level, the service relies on speculation and unsupported assumptions.”
He ordered that the United States Fish and Wildlife Service and the Department of the Interior utilize “the best available science” in predicting the trees’ prospect for survivability, including climate change models, that it reconsider its previous decision and action, and issue a decision based on the more thorough data within a year.
The Fish and Wildlife Service has the option of appealing Judge Wright’s decision. It has until 5 p.m November 19 to do so. It is unlikely that the Biden Administration, which has a sharply different orientation with regard to ecological issues than did the Donald Trump Administration, will appeal. Nevertheless, WildEarth Guardians signaled its organizational dismay with the inertia displayed within the Department of the Interior after the Trump/Biden transition with regard to outstanding environmental issues, particularly in relation to the Joshua Tree.
“While we are grateful to the court for this positive decision, we are very disappointed that the Biden Administration failed at several junctures to do what’s right by these iconic Joshua trees,” said Lindsay Larris, wildlife program director for WildEarth Guardians. “The time and money the federal government spent defending a decision that the court could clearly see was wrong – instead of using these funds to conserve species and determine how to mitigate massive biodiversity loss from climate change –is tragic and, unfortunately, telling. We need this administration to take swift action to protect species and habitat, not just deliver nice messages about the importance of fighting climate change while defending the damaging actions of the prior administration. [W]hile the decision was issued by the service under the Trump administration, the service refused to budge from its indefensible position—or even consider taking a fresh look at the finding – even under the Biden administration.”
Jennifer Schwartz, staff attorney for WildEarth Guardians and lead attorney on the case, lauded Judge Wright for his grasp of the issues at stake.
“The court’s decision represents a monumental step forward for the Joshua tree, but also for all climate-imperiled species whose fate relies upon the service following the law and evaluating the best scientific data available with respect to forecasting future climate change impacts,” Schwartz said. “The court’s unequivocal holding—that the service cannot summarily dismiss scientific evidence that runs counter to its conclusions – will force the federal government to confront the reality of climate change and begin focusing on how to help species adapt. For the sake of the Joshua tree and the overwhelming majority of the public who believe in conservation, science, and protection of species and habitat, we are optimistic that the service will use this opportunity to quickly issue a decision to protect the Joshua tree. Our climate-imperiled species – plants and animals alike – do not have time for political gamesmanship that questions unambiguous science. Now is the time for action to preserve what we can of the natural world before it is too late.”
Officials with the Town of Yucca Valley previously advocated that the Joshua Tree not be listed as endangered, since restrictions on the trees removal would interfere with many efforts to develop property in that 40.02 square mile incorporated municipality.
The California Department of Fish and Wildlife, in reaction to environmentalists assertions that Western Joshua trees have been brought closer to extinction by development, climate change, drought and increasing numbers of wildfires, recommended in April 2020 that the department’s board of commissioners take action to give the desert-specific Yucca Brevifolia protection. The “taking” of a western Joshua tree became a criminal act under state law in September 2020, when the California Fish & Wildlife Commission made the tree a candidate for endangered or threatened species protections. Under the applicable statute, it is illegal to disturb, move, replant, remove or kill Western Joshua trees. Such action is designated as a misdemeanor, punishable by up to a $4,100 fine and six months in jail.

The Town of Apple Valley’s abject defeat in its effort to commandeer the Apple Valley Ranchos Water Company from Liberty Utilities by means of what proved to be an unsuccessful eminent domain proceeding saddled the town with an $8,355,556.45 bill for legal fees and costs since the commencement of the eminent domain action in 2015 as of June 16, 2021. That total extends to the amount of money the town owes the law firm of Best Best & Krieger for its work on the failed lawsuit and the money the town paid for research and consultant work relating to the lawsuit. The total does not reflect money the town, as the losing party in the eminent domain litigation, may yet have to pay to the the law firm that Liberty Utilities used – Manatt, Phelps & Phillips – in fending off the proposed forced takeover.
While the town’s elected officials, top managers and administrators and its lawyers confidently predicted, going into the litigation, that the town would prevail, take over ownership and control of the town’s domestic water system and thereby ensure into perpetuity reasonable rates on the delivery of water to homes and businesses in Apple Valley, the failure of the litigation leaves the water company in the hands of Liberty Utilities, a Canadian-owned company. Unable to defray the cost of the litigation out of the town’s operating budget, officials this week approved the issuance of a $10 million bond to debt service and refinance a loan those officials earlier took out to pay for the water system takeover effort.
Judge Donald Alvarez, who heard the case that had been filed more than five years ago during a 67-day trial that began in October 2019 and which was interrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic from March 2020 until June 2020 before testimony and the presentation of evidence concluded in July 2020, found against the town in a scathing tentative decision filed in May of this year. Alvarez ruled that Liberty had proved itself to be a responsible steward of the water company and its assets, prudently raising water rates to maintain the water system, while evidence presented at trial suggested that the town and surrounding public entities have neglected upkeep on water and utility infrastructure that they own and control.
Alvarez stated in his decision that the “town allege[d] it began exploring acquisition in response to… such things as public concern about escalating water rates and the lack of local control and decision-making over water rates, service and expenditures, although curiously, at trial, the town’s own evidence acknowledged it was unlikely water rates would be reduced” if the town won ownership of the town’s water system. Judge Alvarez further stated, “Liberty has rebutted the presumptions that the public interest and necessity require the [water company acquisition] and that [town ownership of the water facilities] is a more necessary public use of liberty’s property. [T]here is a substantial risk that the water system will be imperiled and the ratepayers will be harmed if the town were permitted to take over the system and supplant regulation by the Public Utilities Commission.”
Furthermore, according to Judge Alvarez, “Liberty has operated a safe and reliable water system; allowing the town to acquire it would create substantial risks to continued effective operations.”
Finding that the town would be overwhelmed by and not be likely to meet the demands of maintaining the water system at a level that would ensure adequate provision of water service to the town’s residents, Judge Alvarez ruled against the town in its eminent domain action.
In 2018, confident it would eventually prevail in the attempt to seize the water company, the town secured a $10 million line of credit from JP Morgan Chase Bank to defray the cost of its attorneys and the undertaking of other action in pursuing the eminent domain strategy. That money, as it was loaned on an as-needed basis, was to be provided at a variable interest rate of .075 percent to 2.52 percent, depending upon prevailing market conditions at the time each installment was made.
The town has borrowed $6 million against the credit line, which expires on October 1, 2021. The town has not paid anything toward the $6 million principal, but has remained current with regard to interest payments on the loan.
Town officials earlier this year decided they wanted to refinance the debt accrued with JP Morgan Chase Bank, and believe that an issuance of municipal bonds which are to be sold to investors would provide the town with the means to do the financing. Under the California Constitution, however, a governmental entity cannot issue bonds without first getting a majority of that particular jurisdiction’s residents/taxpayers to vote in favor of the issuance. One way around the vote requirement is a so-called lease/lease back exemption. This somewhat complicated strategy involves a long-term lease obligation entered into by the governmental entity, insofar as the tenant is not be considered an “indebtedness or liability” under the debt limit set for that particular governmental entity, and if the lease arrangement entails a bond structure in which a joint powers financing authority issues revenue bonds secured by lease payments to be made by the government entity pursuant to a lease agreement.
In this case, the Apple Valley Public Financing Authority is set now to issue lease revenue bonds in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $10,000,000. As part of a circuitous arrangement, the town and the authority, which in the final analysis are one and the same, have entered into a ground lease in which the town is leasing the gymnasium at the James A. Woody Community Center and Town Hall to the authority. These leased assets are simultaneously being leased back from the authority, and the rental payments are pledged to the owners of the bonds issued by the authority. This indenture, or commitment, is made by the town and the authority through an arrangement with the U.S. Bank National Association, the trustee on the bond issuance. To debt service the bonds, the town will pay a fixed 2.52 percent of the total issuance – calculated at $664,000 annually, over the next 20 years, at which point the bonds will fully mature and the city will need to pay the bondholders the face value of the bonds – $10 million. Thus, the city over the 23 years running from 2018 until 2041, will have paid $22.88 million to finance its failed water company takeover bid. The 2.52 percent interest rate is guaranteed through arrangement with with First Foundation Public Finance.
Some have likened what the town is engaging in to a pyramid scheme, but Town Attorney Thomas Rice has given everyone an assurance that everything about it is legal.
The full town council on Tuesday, September 21, voted 5-0 to initiate action toward issuing the bonds. Roughly $8,355,556.45 of the proceeds from the bonds will go toward retiring the city’s outstanding legal bills and costs with regard to the eminent domain suit. The remaining $1,644,443.55 has been earmarked for capital improvements relating to town infrastructure or future legal action if the town elects to appeal Judge Alvarez’s ruling, which has not yet been finalized.
While it is anticipated that Judge Alvarez will confirm his tentative decision with his final ruling, he has not yet indicated whether he will grant Liberty Utilities’ request to be reimbursed for its legal costs, which have not been quantified but are estimated as exceeding $6 million.

Unlike its municipal neighbor to its immediate northeast, the elected leadership in Montclair was able this week to use its own authority to issue $110 million in bonds that will provide funding for past and ongoing civic operations including paying the pensions of its past and current municipal employees, deferring the debt Montclair city government has racked up to future generations.
While there was little in the way of difference between the strategies Montclair and Upland had hatched to juggle the burdensome debt both cities have accrued over the past 30 years in living beyond their means, Montclair’s city council was able to execute on the strategy of having bills that are now coming due borne by the children and grandchildren of the city’s current residents because, in large measure, its members have not yet lost the trust of the constituents they serve. In adjacent Upland, it appears, at least, that the city council’s stealthy effort to slip the issuance of $121 million in bonds past its citizenry failed because of the intense distrust its members’ past actions have generated in their constituents matched by the commensurate scrutiny of their collective actions by some of the more animated members of Upland’s citizenry.
For a variety of reasons, Montclair’s residents did not blanch this week when its elected leaders took on debt that is more than three-and-a-half times the city’s currently budgeted $32 million annual operating.
At 5.52 square miles, Montclair ranks, in terms of land area, as San Bernardino County’s second smallest municipality. With its 41,601 residents, it boasts the county’s ninth smallest population among 24 incorporated jurisdictions countywide. Because of a relatively intense commercial base – anchored by Montclair Place, which was formerly known as Montclair Plaza – the city has been able to hold its own financially.
Still, the bonded indebtedness that Montclair assumed Monday night represents the largest investment the city has made in itself since its 1956 founding.
The issuances were made in two increments. In one, through an arrangement involving the city and a subdivision of itself known as the Montclair Public Financing Authority, authorization for a total issuance of $49 million in lease revenue bonds was made. In the second, the city authorized the issuance of $61.87 million in pension obligation bonds.
The lease revenue bond arrangement involves the city leasing all 11 of the city’s parks to the Montclair Public Financing Authority. These leased assets are simultaneously being leased back from the Montclair Public Financing Authority to the city, and the rental payments are pledged to the owners of the bonds issued by the Montclair Public Financing Authority.
While cities are normally required to get permission from their residents/taxpayers to issue bonds in the form of a vote to do so my a majority of the city’s voters held in an election, an exception is carved out in California law that allows an issuance to be made without voter approval and on the authority of the city council, which also acts as the public financing authority board through a so-called lease/lease back arrangement.
The City of Montclair got around the voter approval requirement with the pension obligation bonds through a different means, that being by engaging in a validation action. In that case, the City of Montclair filed a validation complaint against all of the city’s residents and anyone interested in the bond issuance, seeking from them reasons why the bonds should not be issued. Thereafter, it had published in the Inland Valley Daily Bulletin once a week for three straight weeks a summons notice calling upon anyone who chose to do so to make an answer to the complaint within thirty days of the first publication of the notice. When no one responded with an answer to the complaint, Superior Court Judge Gilbert Ochoa entered a finding that the city was free to proceed with the issuance of the bonds.
Montclair officials kept the action relating to the bond issuance relatively quiet, and did not engage in any dialogue about what the city was trying to undertake. This contrasts with neighboring Upland, where city officials, despite their efforts to keep their issuance of pension obligation bonds low key, were confronted with widespread opposition to the issuance of the bonds, such that the city will need to wait at least until next February to put on a case against the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association, which filed an answer to the validation complain, to justify the use of the bonds to redress that city’s pension funding crisis. In Montclair, with regard to both the lease revenue bonds and the pension obligation bonds, the law firm of Nixon Peabody is serving as validation and bond counsel, the law firm of Richards, Watson & Gershon is serving in the capacity of disclosure counsel, Urban Futures is filling the role of municipal advisor relating to bond financing, Hilltop Securities is the bond underwriter and the U.S. Bank National Association is serving as trustee.
For its role as trustee on the $49 million lease revenue bonds issuance, the U.S. Bank National Association will be paid $3,925. The law firm of Nixon Peabody is being paid $57,500 for its role as bond counsel in the lease revenue bond issuance. For its work as disclosure counsel with regard to the lease revenue bond issuance, the law firm of Richards, Watson & Gershon is to be paid $395 per hour per attorney involved with a cap of $35,000, plus out-of-pocket expenses. Hilltop Securities is to make an estimated $213,750 as underwriter with regard to the $49 million lease revenue bond issuance. Urban Futures is to pull down $40,000 plus $2,500 for expenses for its role as the lease revenue bond advisor.
For its role as trustee on the pension obligation bonds issuance, the U.S. Bank National Association will be paid $3,500. The law firm of Nixon Peabody is being paid $75,000 for its role as bond counsel in the pension obligation bonds issuance. For its work as disclosure counsel with regard to the pension obligation bonds issuance, the law firm of Richards, Watson & Gershon is to be paid $395 per hour per attorney involved with a cap of $40,000 plus out-of-pocket expenses for its work as disclosure counsel relating to the pension obligation bonds issuance. Hilltop Securities is to make an estimated $309,350 as underwriter with regard to the $61.87 million pension obligation bonds issuance.
Information on how much Nixon Peabody was paid for its work with regard to the pension obligation bond validation action was not available.
Mayor John Dutrey justified the issuance of pension obligation bonds by remarking that Montclair had paid roughly $1 million to the California Public Employees Retirement System in 2012 to cover pension costs and that covering the cost of pensions to employees no longer working for the city has at this point jumped to approximately $5.5 million per year.
“This is a very stable policy decision,” Dutrey said.

There’s a lot happening in the fashion world lately, with fashion week, met gala, and an immersive Bill Cunningham exhibit, which opened in Downtown New York.  These events highlight designers’ collections for the next fashion season.
Things are feeling like they’re getting back on track. We are moving forward in California, too.
For Californians, Fashion Week New York is the global season opening for trending fashion pieces. Buying will take place, and people on the streets will start shopping off the trends. Some fun things I’ve been seeing are cropped or oversized blazers with shoulder pads, cowboy boots, and hints of leather. As fashion comes west, we meet it with the autumn season of colors, with hints of warm greens, golden yellows, and lots of golden browns: think fall foliage. The idea that East-New York, meets West-California has enormous power. The power to bring back creativity, trends, and fashion to the streets adds possibilities of getting back to some normalcy.
As many get back to work and school amongst other things that power our economy, we can hopefully revel in the fashion of the moment. You can’t have East without West; that’s like only crying and not laughing. We need each other now more than ever. We need to get that power of life back, and, for me, that means doing it through fashion. Let’s express ourselves. Let’s  move forward. Let’s grow together and empower each other. Whether East or West, get your blazer, boots, and leather on, and hit the streets.

“Fashion is the armor to survive the reality of everyday life.” —Bill Cunningham

A public auction sale to the highest bidder for cash, (cashier’s check(s) must be made payable to National Default Servicing Corporation), drawn on a state or national bank, a check drawn by a state or federal credit union, or a check drawn by a state or federal savings and loan association, savings association, or savings bank specified in Section 5102 of the Financial Code and authorized to do business in this state; will be held by the duly appointed trustee as shown below, of all right, title, and interest conveyed to and now held by the trustee in the hereinafter described property under and pursuant to a Deed of Trust described below.

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call or visit this Internet Web site www.ndscorp.com/sales, using the file number assigned to this case 19-20977-SP-CA. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale.

THE PETITION FOR PROBATE requests that MARIA GUADALUPE CHAIDEZ be appointed as personal representatives to administer the estate of the decedent.
THE PETITION requests the decedent’s wills and codicils, if any, be admitted to probate. The will and any codicils are available for examination in the file kept by the court.
THE PETITION requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.) The independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority.
A hearing on the petition will be held in Dept. No. S-35 at 9:00 a.m. on OCTOBER 4, 2021 at Superior Court of California, County of San Bernardino, 247 West Third Street, San Bernardino, CA 92415, San Bernardino District.
IF YOU OBJECT to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney.
IF YOU ARE A CREDITOR or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within the later of either (1) four months from the date of first issuance of letters to a general personal representative, as defined in section 58(b) of the California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under Section 9052 of the California Probate Code.
Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law.
YOU MAY EXAMINE the file kept by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form DE-154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250. A Request for Special Notice form is available from the court clerk.

UNLESS YOU TAKE ACTION TO PROTECT YOUR PROPERTY, IT MAY BE SOLD AT A PUBLIC SALE. IF YOU NEED AN EXPLANATION OF THE NATURE OF THE PROCEEDING AGAINST YOU, YOU SHOULD CONTACT A LAWYER. A public auction sale to the highest bidder for cash, (cashier’s check(s) must be made payable to National Default Servicing Corporation), drawn on a state or national bank, a check drawn by a state or federal credit union, or a check drawn by a state or federal savings and loan association, savings association, or savings bank specified in Section 5102 of the Financial Code and authorized to do business in this state; will be held by the duly appointed trustee as shown below, of all right, title, and interest conveyed to and now held by the trustee in the hereinafter described property under and pursuant to a Deed of Trust described below. The sale will be made in an “as is” condition, but without covenant or warranty, expressed or implied, regarding title, possession, or encumbrances, to pay the remaining principal sum of the note(s) secured by the Deed of Trust, with interest and late charges thereon, as provided in the note(s), advances, under the terms of the Deed of Trust, interest thereon, fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee for the total amount (at the time of the initial publication of the Notice of Sale) reasonably estimated to be set forth below. The amount may be greater on the day of sale. Trustor: Monica C Banacky, a widow Duly Appointed Trustee: National Default Servicing Corporation Recorded 04/14/2005 as Instrument No. 2005-0260110 (or Book, Page) of the Official Records of San Bernardino County, CA. Date of Sale: 10/28/2021 at 12:00 PM Place of Sale: At the North Arrowhead Avenue entrance to the County Courthouse, 351 North Arrowhead Avenue, San Bernardino, CA 92401 Estimated amount of unpaid balance and other charges: $601,414.96 Street Address or other common designation of real property: 5070 Via Serena Rancho Cucamonga, CA 91701 A.P.N.: 1061-201-33-0-000 The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address or other common designation, if any, shown above. If no street address or other common designation is shown, directions to the location of the property may be obtained by sending a written request to the beneficiary within 10 days of the date of first publication of this Notice of Sale. If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee, and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse. The requirements of California Civil Code Section 2923.5(b)/2923.55(c) were fulfilled when the Notice of Default was recorded. NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call or visit this Internet Web site www.ndscorp.com/sales, using the file number assigned to this case 19-20763-SP-CA. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale.

Sentinel 09-17-21

By Mark Gutglueck
The City of Upland is moving full speed ahead in its lawsuit against the city’s 77,754 residents.
Because of generous commitments made by past city councils going back more than three decades, the City of Upland has an accrued pension debt that is close to three times its annual budget. The current outstanding debt the City of Upland has to the California Public Employees Retirement System to cover the cost of the pensions being paid to already retired former Upland City employees and the anticipated cost of paying present employees their pensions in the future is referred to, in municipal parlance, as Upland’s unfunded pension liability. More than nine years ago, as of June 30, 2012, Upland’s unfunded pension liability had reached $88,994,066. It rose modestly but steadily for the seven years thereafter, jumping almost $11 million, reaching $99,976,917 as of June 30, 2019. Over the last two years, Upland’s pension debt escalation has been historically steep. During the six months after June 30, 2019 alone, the pension debt grew by more than it had in the previous seven years, hitting $112,039,675 by the midway point of fiscal year 2019-20 on December 31, 2019. As of June 30, 2020, it stood at $120,920,721. A document issued by the city in March 2021 indicated the city’s unfunded pension liability as of that month had reached $130,186,277.
For years, a small but vocal group of Upland residents, including Larry Kinley, who had been elected Upland Treasurer in 2016, had been pushing for municipal pension reform. Concerned at the growing pension debt, which was consuming more and more of the city’s budget on a yearly basis and reducing the amount of money available for the delivery of municipal services, they called for the city to both change the terms of city employee contracts to eliminate the generous pension benefits provided to city employees going forward and for an end of the city’s affiliation with the California Public Employees Retirement System.
City employees, however, were acutely aware that if the city undertook to reform its pension system, they would see their pensions commensurately reduced. Then-City Manager Rosemary Hoerning and Assistant City Manager Steven Parker, both of whom are participants in the California Public Employees Retirement System, prevailed upon the city council to allow them to bring in advisors to advise elected officials on how the pension funding crisis should be dealt with. Hoerning and Parker then hired Urban Futures, which employs numerous current and former participants in the California Public Employees Retirement System and which stood to pick up further fees as the city’s bond issuance coordinator if the city elected to issue bonds as a strategy to come to terms with the financial challenge its overwhelming pension debt represented, to serve as the city’s pension debt advisor. The city also relied upon City Attorney Steve Deitsch for advice with regard to coming to its debt management options. Deitsch’s law firm, Best Best & Krieger, stood to pick up fees by doing legal work relating to the issuance of the bonds. After being counseled by both Deitsch and Urban Futures Managing Director Julio Morales, the city council decided against pulling out of the California Public Employees’ Retirement System and switching city employees to a more modest retirement program in which they as employees and the city as their employer would contribute money into a fund that would provide somewhat less-generous retirement benefits than are provided by the California Public Employees Retirement System. Rather, the council was convinced by Hoerning, Parker, Deitsch and Morales to remain in the California Public Employees Retirement System and instead issue $120 million in pension obligation bonds, which will allow the city to spread the payment of the money it owes to the California Public Employees Retirement System over the next 25 to 40 years, deferring the pension debt onto the next two succeeding generations of Upland’s taxpayers, transferring the responsibility to the current city residents’ children and grandchildren.
Morales and Deitsch allayed any concerns Mayor Bill Velto and the individual members of the council had about the process of taking on bonded indebtedness. Under normal situations in California, before new taxes or assessments can be imposed on residents or citizens, they must first assent to the new tax or tax increase through a majority vote in favor of that increase or new tax. What if, the council asked, a majority of Upland’s residents refused to impose on themselves the fees or tax they would need to bear over 25 years or 30 years or 35 years or 40 years to repay the purchasers of the bonds? The city could steer around having to hold such a vote, Morales and Deitsch told the council, by having the city file a lawsuit against all of the city’s residents in a legal action known as a validation complaint. If, upon the filing of the lawsuit, none of the city’s residents responded within 30 days with an answer that challenged the city’s intention to issue the bonds, the city would be free to create and sell bonds, and no future challenge to their issuance or the commitment that the city council made on behalf of the city’s taxpayers that they would pay the bondholders could be made.
In April 2021 and then in May 2021, after the mayor and city council and Hoerning had come to an agreement for Hoerning to leave as city manager and Parker was promoted into the post of acting city manager, the city council set the city on a course to issue at least $120 million in pension obligation bonds. It did so as quietly as it could, taking that action as part of the consent calendars at its April 26 and May10 meetings. Normally, in Upland and all cities elsewhere, the consent calendar is reserved for routine and noncontroversial issues that merit no discussion. The practice in Upland as elsewhere is to not consider any of the items that occur on the consent calendar individually but to vote on them collectively. In this way, it is very easy for the pubic to take no note of the items on the consent calendar. Accordingly, the public is very likely to miss the significance of any items that appear on the consent calendar and to have no understanding whatsoever or awareness of the substance of consent calendar items.
At its April 26 meeting, the city council, in a single vote taken relating to five other items that appeared on the consent calendar along with it, approved a $62,500 professional services agreement with Urban Futures relating to assistance it would give the city in issuing pension obligation bonds.
On May 10, the city council, on a single item of a 16-item consent calendar, agreed to pay Best Best & Krieger, the law firm with which Steve Deitsch is a partner, $70,000 for its assistance in readying the city for the bond issuance. The $70,000 consisted of $45,000 to serve as bond counsel, $20,000 to handle the validation proceeding and $5,000 to cover miscellaneous court costs. Another item on the consent calendar approved by the council provided for paying the law firm of Straddling, Yocca, Carlson & Rauth $36,500 to serve as the disclosure counsel on the city’s issuance of pension obligation bonds.
On July 21, 2021, the City of Upland filed the validation action against all interested parties.
On August 9, in an equally stealthy move as those taken in April and May, as an item on its eight-item consent calendar agenda, the council hired J.P. Morgan Securities LLC as the managing underwriter and Stifel, Nicolaus & Company, Incorporated as the co-managing underwriter for the proposed pension obligation bond issuance.
On August 12, the city filed a summons with the court, with language intended to inform all Upland residents that they were being sued.
When a small contingent of Upland residents took note of what was going on at the courthouse, they inquired about the city suing its residents.
Parker, as acting city manager, put out a statement. In it he denied the city was suing anyone.
“The city has not directly or even indirectly sued its constituents,” Parker said. “What the city has done is filed a validation lawsuit regarding the potential issuance of pension obligation bonds. Under the rules imposed by the State of California, the city is required to file a complaint ‘in rem.’ This means that it is required by law to be stylized against ‘all persons interested’ in the matter.”
The term “in rem” designates that the lawsuit is against the residents of Upland together rather than against the residents individually.
Over the next several weeks, both Councilwoman Shannan Maust and Councilwoman Janice Elliott parroted Parker.
On September 9, the Inland Valley Daily Bulletin ran a legal notice. The language of the notice states:

Efforts by Redlands city staff to redefine the city as a participant in the reinvention of Southern California as a megalopolis linked by a mass transit corridor continues apace as the city of 68,747 is moving on with the adoption of the next phase of its Transit Villages Specific Plan makeover.
The Transit Villages Specific Plan calls for encouraging future development within the core areas of the city, in particular downtown, the area between Tennessee Street and New York Street and near the University of Redlands, where stops on the Redlands Passenger Rail Project are to be located. The concept calls for constructing high density, multi-story housing within walking distance of those railway stops to discourage the residents who live there from using their personal vehicles, and instead utilize the train system that is being developed in Southern California to allow those living in the inland areas to commute westward toward or into Los Angeles in the morning to work and return home by rail in the evening.
The element of the Transit Villages Specific Plan that calls for creating a dense living environment in Redlands’ downtown area and allowing for high-rise apartments as well as parking structures clashes with many preservationists’ idea of keeping the city’s historic downtown intact. Moreover, the concerted efforts of a group of Redlands residents, who are determined to prevent any further development of structures of more than three stories, are out of sync with the Transit Villages Specific Plan.
The Transit Villages Specific Plan is wedded to the completion of the Redlands Passenger Rail Project. The Redlands Passenger Rail Project features the lofty goal of creating a rail commuting system running from downtown Los Angeles to Redlands. Critics of the Redlands Passenger Rail Project have found fault with the nature of the rail engines being used, consisting of ones that are heavy diesel-powered models. Preferable would be a light rail system, they say. Such a light rail component of Southern California’s rail system does exist, that being the Gold Line, which now runs  east from Downtown Los Angeles, near Little Tokyo and Union Station, to Pasadena and along the Los Angeles County San Gabriel Foothill communities to Azusa. At present, the Gold Line is being extended from Azusa to Glendora, with the intention of it reaching Pomona by 2025. Previously, both Los Angeles County and San Bernardino County transportation officials were in consonance on having the Gold Line extended through Claremont first to Montclair and then on to Ontario Airport, perhaps as early as 2028, in time for the Los Angeles Olympics to be held that year. Thereafter, the light rail Gold Line was to go out to San Bernardino, in some scenarios as early as 2036 and then on to Redlands by 2040.
The light rail Gold Line is considered more modern, more efficient and more practical than the traditional diesel-powered Metrolink train that now runs between Downtown Los Angeles and San Bernardino. The track for the diesel-powered Metrolink, is shared with cargo trains, and it does not have frequent departures or arrivals, with the shortest time between departures from San Bernardino into Los Angeles running 20 minutes at certain times of the day and as much as two hours at other times.
Consequently, Metrolink is not heavily used and it does little or nothing to alleviate heavy traffic on the freeways into and out of Los Angeles on a daily basis.
The Gold Line, which runs on a separate track dedicated to passenger transport alone from Downtown Los Angeles to Azusa, uses lighter cars and more fuel-efficient engines, with staggered departures and arrivals of as little as every eight minutes. The Gold Line is thus heavily used, and its cars, prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, neared capacity on virtually every run.
Previously, the Gold Line Construction Authority in conjunction with the San Bernardino County Transportation Agency, when it was previously known as San Bernardino Associated Governments (SANBAG), intended to continue the line from Claremont to Montclair, and then from Montclair to Ontario Airport. SANBAG had accordingly dedicated $39 million in available transportation money toward the Gold Line project, and did a joint application with the Los Angeles Metro Transit Agency for a State of California Transit and Intercity Rail Capital Program grant. That application was successful and it brought in $250 million on the Los Angeles County side, which made a significant but not complete inroad on the $850 funding deficit that jurisdiction had, and provided another $41 million of the then-projected $80 million cost for the San Bernardino County portion of the projected expense on the eastern side of the Los Angeles County/San Bernardino County border to get the line to Montclair.
Subsequently, however, when the project went out to bid, it turned out the cost of building the line from Claremont to Montclair would not contain itself to an earlier $73 million projection or the later $80 million estimate, but had escalated to $96 million.
In reaction to that projected cost overrun, San Bernardino County Transportation Authority Executive Director Ray Wolfe convinced a majority of the San Bernardino County Transportation Agency board in the fall of 2019 to pull the plug on San Bernardino County’s portion of the Gold Line funding. On October 10, 2019 the San Bernardino County Transportation Agency’s transit subcommittee, composed of representatives from the cities of Big Bear Lake, Chino Hills, Colton, Fontana, Highland, Montclair, Ontario, Rancho Cucamonga, Rialto, Yucaipa and the Third Supervisorial District, endorsed Wolfe’s proposal to dispense with constructing the new Gold Line track into San Bernardino County altogether and to instead have Gold Line passengers heading eastward from Los Angeles or the San Gabriel Valley load onto another train at the Claremont Station which will run on the existing Metrolink track. Only the representatives from Ontario, Montclair and Chino Hills dissented in that 8-to-3 vote.
San Bernardino County transportation officials declared their intention to return the $41 million State of California Transit and Intercity Rail Capital Program grant that had been freed up to allow the county to overcome the gap between the $39 million in available revenue from the half-cent sales tax collected throughout San Bernardino County for transportation improvements for completing the Gold Line extension from Claremont to Montclair and the earlier projected cost of the 1.2-mile extension.
Thus, it appears, passenger rail lines on the east side of the Los Angeles County/San Bernardino County divide will consist of much heavier and less fuel-efficient trains which will run on a far-less-frequent basis than the alternative light rail system.
Because the Redlands Transit Villages Concept is wedded to the Redlands Passenger Rail Project, which past and current rail line usage patterns demonstrate is unlikely to be even moderately used, there has been a fair amount of opposition to the Redlands Transit Villages Specific Plan, with Redlands residents trying to convey to city officials that they are on the verge of eradicating a huge swathe of historic properties in the downtown area in order to construct high-rise apartment complexes intended to be occupied by future train commuters who will, in fact, never materialize. Despite that opposition, Redlands officials have persisted with the Redlands Transit Villages Specific Plan, pushing forward with the compiling of a draft environmental impact report document for the initiative.
On August 31, the city gave notice of its preparation of the initial study for that environmental impact report. The notice informed the city’s residents that they had between September 1 and September 30, inclusive, to involve themselves in the “scoping” for the plan, that is, to offer feedback on what environmental considerations they believe should be made with regard to the development of the Transit Villages area, which covers roughly 947 acres in three noncontiguous expanses in the city. By late November or early December, the environmental impact report will be assembled into draft form. Thereafter, the document will be available, for 45 days, for review and further input.
The upshot is that the city is going to insist on layering the Redlands Transit Villages Specific Plan onto the city’s zoning map.
Evident from the already-available documentation relating to the Redlands Transit Villages Specific Plan and the scoping document released on September 1 is the Redlands Passenger Rail Project, the extension of the rail line from San Bernardino that is already 90 percent completed, is to become a permanent part of the landscape in Redlands, including rail line infrastructure spanning the nine miles between San Bernardino at Waterman Avenue and the University of Redlands. The rail line right-of-way is owned by the San Bernardino County Transportation Authority. In support of the Redlands Passenger Rail Project, the city is to undertake multiple upgrades, including train and traffic signalization, new bridges and culverts, existing bridge reinforcements, utility relocations and replacements. The corridor will be augmented with four train station/platforms, three in Redlands. Those stations will have accompanying parking lots where train passengers will be able to leave their vehicles in the morning before they board the train. The stations to be built within Redlands city limits will include one at New York Street just west of downtown, Orange Street in downtown Redlands and at University Street in front of the entrance to the University of Redlands.
While coordinating and incorporating rail stations into the city’s general plan and Downtown Specific Plan has been discussed at least since 2007, a clear-cut vision of what that is to entail has never been articulated. The Downtown Specific Plan was adopted in 1994 and revised through 2008. A comprehensive contemplated update took place in 2011 but was not adopted. Efforts to carry out the updating to the Redlands General Plan were long ongoing, but failed to be completed over a period of a decade. Not until 2017 was the rewrite of the general plan adopted. That document makes reference to the Redlands Transit Villages concept, but lacks clarity. A recurrent criticism of the Redlands Transit Villages Specific Plan was that it should have been coordinated with the general plan.
Of some importance, residents have said, is the city’s lack of coordination on planning for infrastructure. The city has arranged to collect fees from developers for certain infrastructure, such as sewers and a water treatment plant, but left uncovered at this point is to what degree the developers building density-intensive projects under the Redlands Transit Villages Specific Plan, given the greater burden their projects will place on such infrastructure, will see those fees increased or whether they will be increased at all.
Those taking issue with the Redlands Transit Villages Specific Plan question what provisions are contained in it regarding commitments on infrastructure as pertains to traffic circulation.
A document typically generated for this purpose is a TIA – a traffic impact analysis – meant to look into what will happen to the traffic flow on surface streets in a five-mile radius around a project. That document has not been produced, and some Redlands residents suspect the city is stalling on doing the analysis or will fail to undertake it altogether because it will show that the project will create gridlock at some intersections and that the confluence of the rail line and sidewalks which will at times result in a mortal threat to pedestrians that will be exceedingly difficult to address or eliminate.
