Recently installed San Bernardino Mayor John Valdivia on Wednesday night came within a hair’s breadth of staking a dominant position over municipal operations in the county seat, failing to reestablish something on the order of the de facto strong mayor status that was eliminated with the 2016 revamping of the city’s 111-year old charter only by a deft parliamentary maneuver by one of the two council members who are clearly outside of his political camp. That move, at best, appears to have been a delaying tactic that will only postpone Valdivia’s determined climb to an unfettered pinnacle of power in what remains San Bernardino County’s most populous city.
The January 2 San Bernardino City Council meeting was the first of 2019 and the fourth conclave of the newly-composed council. The new council is headed by Valdivia, a then-incumbent councilman in the city’s Third District who in the November 6, 2018 election ousted one-term Mayor Carey Davis while two other council candidates who were aligned with him likewise achieved victory in their districts. Wednesday’s meeting offered the clearest demonstration yet of the new political order that has descended over City Hall. As the council members discussed how to flesh out a proposal that would have empowered the mayor with a nine-member staff to extend his communicative and directive reach in the 220,000-population city, it became clear that Valdivia can rely on four more-or-less solid votes among the council. The council currently stands at six members but will move up to its normal 7-member full strength a little later this year after a replacement to fill the Third Ward vacancy that came about when Valdivia departed from that post to move into the mayoralty is chosen in a special election. It thus appears that Valdivia possesses the requisite votes to move his agenda forward, at least for the next two years.
In the November balloting which corresponded with the statewide gubernatorial general election, Valdivia outpaced Davis, 19,155 votes or 52.51 percent to 17,327 votes or 47.49 percent. In the city’s Second Ward, Sandra Ibarra cruised to an easy 2,371 vote or 62.12 percent victory over Cecilia Miranda-Dolan with her 1,446 votes or 37.88 percent, after both had finished second and first, respectively, in the June Primary election, ahead of the Second Ward incumbent Benito Barrios, who finished third. In the First Ward, Theodore Sanchez, who is Valdvia’s cousin, emerged victorious in November over Gil Botello, after those two had finished second and first respectively in June among a field of four after the incumbent, Virginia Marquez, declined to seek reelection. Sanchez’s November margin over Botello was 1,633 votes or 56.76 percent to 1,244 votes or 43.24 percent.
The 2018 election marked the first election cycle carried out under the auspices and terms of the revamped San Bernardino municipal charter approved by voters in 2016. Valdivia, served as city councilman for nearly seven years, the first two of which Pat Morris was mayor and the last nearly five of which Davis led the council and the city. Davis was elected under the city’s 1905 charter, which gave the mayor a greater degree of authority than did the 2016 redraft. Thus, when Valdivia was sworn into office last month, he came into office in a slightly different capacity than had Davis, whose term was extended nearly a year because of the changes to the charter. The 1905 charter provided the mayor with a fair degree of political authority, as the mayor did not normally have a vote among the council, but was empowered to cast a vote in the case of a tie, and further possessed veto power on votes of 4-to-3. The mayor also wielded the council gavel and presided over the council meetings, setting the tenor of and controlling the ebb-and-flow of debate. The mayor had authority to place action and discussion items on the council agenda at will. The 1905 charter at the same time provided the mayor with substantial administrative and ministerial power, with the authority to both hire and fire city employees, as well as make decisions and give orders with regard to the operation and management of the city. In this way, under the previous charter, the mayor and city manager were essentially co-regents at City Hall.
The new charter leaves the mayor’s political assignment intact and virtually unchanged, with no power to vote except in rare circumstances such as the hiring of senior city staff and in the event of a tie. It leaves the position with veto power on 4-to-3 votes as well as control over meetings and placement of items onto the council agenda for action and discussion. The new charter, nonetheless, strips the mayor of the administrative and managerial authority formerly infused in the position.
Those in support of the charter change asserted that the strong mayor form of government that had been in existence in San Bernardino for more than a century was out of step with the modern standards of municipal governance and that its mixed responsibilities and lines of authority created a malaise and confusion of direction that burdened the city with crippling ambiguities with respect to the authority of the city manager, mayor and council. The overlapping of the authority of the city manager and mayor and the city council had led to a situation in which the reformers maintained everyone was in charge so no one was in charge. The revamped charter was placed before the voters in 2016 and was supported by Davis and his predecessor Patrick Morris, despite the attenuation of the mayor’s power that it represented. Both Davis and Morris said the manner in which the 1905 charter hampered the efficiency of governance in San Bernardino was a factor in the city’s decades-long financial decline that ultimately resulted in a Chapter 9 bankruptcy protection filing in 2012. They, with a significant contingent of others, lobbied heavily in favor of the charter redraft, which they insisted created a clear, concise, and transparent council-manager form of government in which the council’s powers are limited to legislative and policy making, and gives them no administrative or managerial capacity, allowing for city staff to operate with a degree of flexibility so that the machinery of government would function efficiently and effectively. Valdivia did not support the charter change. The city’s voters passed the charter change by a substantial margin in the November 2016 election, with 27,478 or 60.57 percent in support and 17,890 or 39.43 percent in opposition.
Thus, upon coming into office, Valdivia was without the independent administrative, appointment and removal powers that Davis and all of his predecessors as San Bernardino mayor going back more than a century possessed. Moreover, City Manager Andrea Travis-Miller, who had been hired into the city’s top staff position in August 2017 on a five-year contract, was empowered at that point as the city’s undisputed chief executive officer, with a free rein over day-to-day, week-to-week and month-to-month municipal operations, unfettered from having to share that authority with the mayor.
For Valdivia, whose ambition and political drive ran toward seizing more control rather than surrendering it, it was just a tad discomfiting that the position which he had just captured carried less clout than it did when Davis, whom he had just defeated, held the mayor’s gavel. It is not altogether surprising that almost immediately after Valdivia was in office a move to attenuate Travis-Miller’s power ensued. On December 19, the very day that the newly elected city council was installed, the ruling coalition that Valdivia was striving to assemble took a run at Travis-Miller. Councilwoman Sandra Ibarra, in her first major act as an elected official, on that night asked her colleagues to consider evaluating Travis-Miller’s performance. The council acceded to the request and a special meeting of the council was scheduled for Friday morning, December 21 at 10 a.m., at which the council was to hear public input before going into a closed session to carry out, according to the agenda a “conference with labor negotiators” with the Valdivia representing the city regarding what the agenda said was an “unrepresented employee: city manager.” A second special meeting of the council was scheduled for the same day, commencing at 6 p.m. On that agenda was another session of public input to be followed by the council adjourning once again into a closed session to, “Discuss and take action on termination of employment agreement with the City Manager Andrea M. Miller without cause.”
At both of the morning and evening public input sessions, residents weighed in with regard to the advisability of terminating Travis-Miller, with some lauding her talent and performance while advocating that the council keep her and others voicing criticism of her comportment as city manager so far and recommending her firing. The council adjourned into the evening closed session, with Travis-Miller’s fate hanging in the balance. They emerged some two hours later, having taken no reportable action, a signal that there was not, at that point, sufficient will among the six council members to cashier the city manager. Nevertheless, a message had been sent to Travis-Miller that she was skating on some pretty thin ice. Like an aggressive batter who crowds the plate only to have a 102 mile-per-hour fastball thrown at his head by a pitcher intent on reminding his opponent of who is in control of the ball and the situation, Travis-Miller found herself sprawled out on the dirt over the weekend leading into the Christmas Holiday. She has since gotten back onto her feet and dusted herself off, but much of her swagger is gone.
This week, on January 2, round two in the battle for political/managerial primacy in San Bernardino played out. On the agenda was a staff report/request for council action authored by Travis-Miller “on behalf of Mayor John Valdivia” carrying the subject line “Proposed Staffing Level for the Office of the Mayor.”
The language of the report demonstrated the degree to which Travis-Miller, following the threat to have her fired, has now signed on to assist Valdivia in assembling a team at City Hall that will actuate his agenda. Travis-Miller in the report asked the city council to “Review, discuss and consider proposed increases in the staffing level within the
mayor’s office to support the operational needs as identified by the mayor; and authorize the director of finance or designee to amend the FY 2018/19 Adopted Budget by appropriating up to $242,000 from the general fund reserve into the various affected salary accounts to establish 6 new positions in the office of the mayor. In future years the costs, which are projected to be up to $483,000, would be recommended as part of the annual budget.”
The report states, “Mayor Valdivia has identified changes in the organizational structure within the mayor’s office to provide the personnel needed to support the objectives that have been set forth by the mayor. As such, he requested that I prepare the analysis and necessary adjustments to the annual operating budget to make this change.”
First, Travis-Miller spelled out the funding to facilitate the function of the mayor that already exists.
“The FY 2018/19 adopted budget for the mayor’s office includes funding in the amount of $305,692 for three full-time positions. These positions include one chief of staff; one assistant to the mayor II; and one assistant to the mayor III. In order for Mayor Valdivia to achieve his objectives, he is proposing to fill the three existing positions and add six new positions which would result [in] the following for the mayor’s office: One chief of staff; one executive assistant to the mayor; one assistant to the mayor III; one assistant to the mayor II; four assistant[s] to the Mayor I; and one senior customer service representative to serve as front office receptionist.”
According to Travis-Miller, “The executive assistant to the mayor position will replace the existing budgeted assistant to the mayor III position. The proposed position is less than the current budgeted position. The difference between the two positions is approximately $19,300 per year. The proposed six (6) additional positions would be assigned the duties as follows: assistant to the mayor (4 positions). This position will serve as liaison between the mayor and constituents, district organizations, local governments, and state and federal agencies. This classification will monitor pertinent local issues, especially those involving local agencies, and keep the mayor and staff up to date on pending matters. Assistant to the mayor II (1 position). This position will serve as the communications director for the mayor to assist in his role as the chief spokesman for the city. Senior customer service representative (1 position). This position will serve to greet visitors to the office; answer, screen and transfer telephone calls; refer calls or requests for services to the appropriate departments and agencies; and assist in preparing correspondence and other duties as needed in support of the mayor’s office.”
Under the subheading “Budgetary Considerations,” Travis-Miller wrote, “At the December 19, 2018 City Council Meeting, members of the city council identified the need for investment in a general plan update along with additional planning staff, trained code enforcement officers, street repair and improvements, and city property maintenance improvements. As the city manager, it is my obligation to ensure the mayor and city council have the information needed to fully evaluate and contemplate the potential impacts of policy decisions. Approval of the proposed increase in staffing in the mayor’s office will have an impact on the city’s current budget, as well as its long term financial planning. As we look towards the next fiscal year, the preliminary estimate indicates that there is a projected deficit of over $2 million. There are needs throughout the organization that have been identified that cannot be met as this time due to budgetary constraints. Those that have the most impact at this time include the estimated $2-to-$3 million cost related to the update of the general plan. Additionally, the community development [department] is operating in an increasingly complex and litigious regulatory environment. The current staffing level is inadequate to assure basic compliance. As the city builds up, the infill development process will be considerably more complex as every new project directly affects existing businesses and the conditions in existing residential neighborhoods. In order to be in a position to move the city in a positive direction there needs to be adequate staff in each division including additional planners, plan check positions, and staff to support in land development and economic development; and in addition to the city prosecutor position, additional code enforcement field personnel are needed. Animal control is operating with limited resources, and as the city continues to invest in its infrastructure, increased public works staffing is needed to address the maintenance and facility issues. These needs do not include the significant investment that is needed in the police department nor the more than $100 million in deferred maintenance costs identified in last year’s budget process.”
Under the subheading “Financial Impact,” Travis-Miller wrote, “The annualized additional cost of the six new positions in the mayor’s office would be between $365,100 and $483,129 annually (depending on starting salary placement) up to $483,129 (at top step salaries) greater than what is currently budgeted. Assuming the new positions will be filled as early as January 2019, the additional cost in FY 2018/19 is nearly $242,000 (6 months of top step salary and benefits). The proposed additional cost of the new positions in the mayor’s office over the next 10 years is estimated to be more than $3.7 million.”
Despite those financial considerations, Travis-Miller indicated that Valdivia’s request was in keeping with the city’s already pronounced “2018-2019 goals and objectives” in that “The proposed changes to the mayor’s office align with Goal No.3: Create, maintain and grow jobs and economic value in the city, as the perceptions of the city are directly related to our ability to encourage and attract economic development to the city and Goal No.7: Pursue city goals and objectives by working with other agencies such as federal, state, and regional governments to ensure San Bernardino receives its fair share of resources by maintaining close working relationships with other governmental agencies.”
In the report’s conclusion, Travis Miller wrote, “It is recommended the city council review, discuss and consider the requested staffing changes to the mayor’s office and amend the FY 2018/19 adopted budget accordingly.”
At Wednesday night’s meeting, Valdivia stated his rationale for asking for the six new aides.
“This is in concert and keeping with the new administration that voters have elected me to, to provide a new vision, a new vision for our community, a new vision and new passion for rebuilding and rebooting the computer here at City Hall,” Valdivia said. “My vision is to engage our community. It is to establish the responsive metrics necessary to have that engagement with our community. This community is desperately in need of leadership and is yearning for it. They are craving leadership from the mayor’s office that is attuned to the needs of their interest and their community needs. Community members across the 65 square miles of this city – Believe me, I know it, I’ve walked it, I understand it – individuals in this community have constantly called me about calls that go unanswered, that emails are seldom responded to, that phone calls are not returned. So, there is a desperate need for our community to remain at the forefront of the mayor’s office. I do have an open door office that will serve the needs of this community. As I traverse this city and the last several weeks I have committed to the community that you will have an open door in the mayor’s office. Make an appointment. We will accommodate your interests, your requests, and we are there to hear the needs of our community.”
Valdivia continued, “Part and parcel of this community engagement process is to also build a bridge between residents and our city government. This has been long absent in prior administrations and I have made it a goal of mine to make sure that the mayor’s office leads this community with an attentive ear, listening to the community. Listening to their needs is paramount to building and rebooting city government. The city charter section 303 subsection E clearly identifies and recognizes the mayor as the head of the city government for all ceremonial purposes. Further, in section 303 F, it states and recognizes that the mayor is the chief spokesperson for the city. Furthermore, in section 303 subsection G, the new charter passed in November 2016 clearly requires the mayor to represent the city in intergovernmental relationships and establish and maintain these partnerships and regional leadership opportunities to advance the city’s interest. In chapter two of the municipal code, the municipal code expands the leadership role of the mayor. The municipal code also recognizes the need for the mayor’s office to be the chief spokesperson for this community. So, where the charter is not explicit, the municipal code then provides additional details. In order to accomplish the mission of my office and fulfill the duties delegated by the charter, the new charter, the mayor must have appropriate staffing. In tonight’s item, there is an emphasis on community engagement, with an emphasis on field service for taxpayers, an opportunity for our nearly 250,000 constituents. The opportunities are vast and the community is desirous of a mayor who is in contact and in keeping with their wishes on their priorities.”
To hire the six employees into his office, Valdivia said, “the cost is $242,000. That is the real cost if we were to approve that this fiscal year.”
Gary Saenz, a holdover from the previous charter’s governing arrangement as the elected city attorney whose elected position has now been eliminated under the new charter but who will remain in his post until next year, offered his legal opinion that creating positions within the city’s ranks directly answerable to the mayor is in conflict with the new city charter.
Saenz said an evaluation of the previous charter by the former mayor, the city manager, a management consultant and himself led to the conclusion that the previous charter lacked clear lines of authority which gummed up the city’s machinery of government.
“Our observation was that was significantly responsible for leading the city into bankruptcy,” Saenz said. “So we made the charter change. The charter change significantly reduced the role of the mayor in the City of San Bernardino and as such… the council manager form of government had clarity and that was a form of government that was utilizing best practices, and the clarity resulted in a removal of the dysfunction that the City of San Bernardino had previously experienced for decades. The voters adopted the new charter and the charter became the constitution of this city upon its adoption.”
Saenz said the city had retained San Bernardino County’s former chief executive officer, Greg Devereaux, as a management consultant and that Devereaux emphasized the importance of everyone doing his or her part to execute the game plan as devised.
“His [Devereaux’s] words to the council and all the officers and the department heads were ‘Do your job,’” Saenz said. “That was the direction he gave us, that the council manager form of government was not going to work for the city even though it had been adopted and we all had at that time bought into the city council/city manager form of government, that it is not going to function properly unless everybody does their job. He analogized it to a football team where everyone is running around haphazardly and not doing their respective job that they have to do on the field; then they are not going to have success. The charter provides that the council is legislative and the council defers to the discretion of management to choose the proper means to achieve the council’s goals.”
Saenz then emphasized that the charter defined the mayor’s and city council’s roles as being legislative and the city manager’s intended function as being “the implementation of that legislative policy.” The charter, Saenz said, goes on to further prohibit the council from interfering with the city manager’s administration of the city. He quoted directly from the charter that “Neither the council nor the mayor shall interfere with the city manager in the exercise or performance of his or her power or duty.”
Saenz continued, “So, my concern when I first saw this come before council was that our success is going to depend upon everyone staying within their lanes. When I saw the numbers of those [employees proposed] within the mayor’s office, my concern was that the intention here was, or if not the specific intention the likelihood, that lines would be crossed, that authorities would be confused and we would not stay within our respective lanes. That is a problem I wanted to avoid. As the city attorney for the City of San Bernardino, it is my job to do what I need to do to make sure there is compliance and adherence with the charter. That is the law of the land, like it or not. When the mayor and all of the respective officers were elected, they are elected under the terms of the charter. In other words, the mayor is the mayor within the confines of the charter.”
The mayor having large numbers of city employees answerable directly to him rather than to the city manager, Saenz said, was a violation of both the spirit and the letter of the current charter.
Valdivia, who was in control of the meeting, was yet intent on achieving his goal of filling out his staff to the requested strength of nine, and he was not inclined to accept Saenz’s interpretation as binding. He threw the matter into a full discussion by the council, sensing that the majority sentiment aligned more closely with him than with Saenz.
The first two council members to weigh in were Fourth Ward Councilman Fred Shorett and Seventh Ward Councilman Jim Mulvihill. During the last half of Davis’s mayoralty, a schism had developed on the council, with one faction headed by Davis and the other following Valdivia’s lead. Both Shorett and Mulvihill, along with former councilwoman Virginia Marquez, were unqualifiedly within Davis’s camp. With Marquez and Davis no longer in office, Shorett and Mulvihill now find themselves cast in the role of the council dissidents, as the rest of the panel appears to be under the sway of Valdivia at this point. Both Shorett and Mulvihill are Vietnam War veterans and are not only the oldest but longest-serving members of the current council. Indeed, they find themselves on a different side of both a generational and philosophical divide than the balance of the council, all of whom are two, three and even four decades their junior. Shorett and Mulvihill hold Valdivia, about whose honesty and integrity they harbor doubts, in disdain, though Mulvihill for the most part does a far better job of masking his attitude than does Shorett. Both, together with Saenz, represent the sole remaining obstacle to Valdivia’s ambition.
Shorett said he was concerned with the financial aspect of loading the mayor’s staff with a half dozen more employees.
“The community is not supportive of this,” said Shorett. “We have three [support staff members] for the mayor’s office and four for council support, plus six more in the mayor’s office to make a total of nine. Fiscally, we can’t afford the six and certainly not 13.”
Referencing the three-person mayoral staffs in Ontario and Rancho Cucamonga, Shorett said, “That far exceeds any of these other comparisons.”
Shorett said, “I can’t support this item. I would caution my colleagues that we are going against the will of the voters that voted a charter change that has been aptly defined here by our city attorney. Our mayor has interpreted it his way. Our legal [adviser] has [interpreted it] that way. I think it is fair to say that in the law there are many times you can interpret the same thing differently. The judge then makes a decision.”
While Shorett said he accepted that Valdivia as mayor was the city’s de facto “chief spokesman,” he said Valdivia should fulfill that role himself and that he does not have license to hire someone else to speak for him using taxpayer money.
“Being the chief spokesman doesn’t imply you have your own communication director,” Shorett said.
Shorett suggested that a degree of political patronage was at play in the effort by Valdivia to stack his staff with associates who are loyal to him by providing them with sinecures. He referenced the circumstance involving one-time San Bernardino County Chairman of the Board of Supervisors/later County Assessor Bill Postmus, who similarly hired 13 of his political cronies to work within the assessor’s office, virtually all of whom had no experience, expertise or even rudimentary knowledge with regard to evaluating the worth or real estate or assessing properties, and who in many cases engaged in political activity under Postmus’s employ. Postmus is now in state prison on political corruption and misappropriation of public funds charges relating to his misuse of the assessor’s office. Several of those he hired were convicted on charges relating to their misuse of the assessor’s office’s facilities to engage in the partisan activity they carried out in those positions. By extension, Shorett suggested that Valdivia was likewise intent on utilizing taxpayer money to provide members of his political machine with jobs and the opportunity to engage in partisan activity to further advance himself politically.
Mulvihill expressed an equal degree of skepticism that Valdivia intended to employ the proposed nine-person contingent that was to be at his disposal in the service of the city, suggesting that he would utilize them as a political cat’s paw for his own personal benefit.
“I have to say I’m not going to vote in favor of this for a number of reasons,” said Mulvihill. “I think the city charter does say the mayor is the chief spokesperson, not the representative [of the entirety of the council].”
Mulvihill said the contemplated hirings are too costly.
“Finances are my concern,” said Mulvihill.
He then suggested that Valdivia is slated to engage in some globetrotting that will ostensibly be represented as an effort to serve as an ambassador for San Bernardino to bring back foreign investment, but those junkets will actually be efforts by the mayor to advance himself, feather his nest and benefit himself both politically and financially.
“The mayor plans on being out of town a lot, in Shanghai or Singapore, wherever, and presumably that’s why he needs special people here to do that,” said Mulvihill. “But the point is it’s your job to be listening to the people yourself as well as the council. That’s why there’s seven wards here. We listen to the people. And a private receptionist? We had one receptionist that took care of the mayor and the council and still had time to take care of administrative functions. I’m concerned about finances there.”
Mulvihill said the money to be spent on increasing the mayor’s staff could be better used to hire staff in the city’s planning department or the police department. Of planning personnel he said, “We could have those in-house.” Of policemen he said, “We’re still about 60 officers short. There’s all sort of shortages we have in the city to fill before we have a private receptionist. Why do you have a communications director in the mayor’s office? It sounds as if the mayor is the only person to have information communicated back and forth. The communications officer should work for the entire council and the city manager.”
Mulvihill said, “My personal intuition is this is wasteful. I don’t know why it’s being concentrated in the mayor’s office. Is it hubris that you need to have an entourage? I don’t see it. I’m not going to vote for it. I think it’s wasteful. I think you’ve got three very good people now,” Mulvihill said, referencing the staff the mayor already possesses.
Second Ward Councilwoman Sandra Ibarra asked Valdivia if the mayoral staff would be able to act in the capacity of field representatives for her district. Valdivia said, “My immediate thought is yes, we would like to be responsive to all constituents in every ward. We will do our best to handle those problematic areas for council members. We anticipate having a very collaborative relationship with council members.”
Said Ibarra, “I would like to have a field rep helping me. I would like to have somebody I can fall back on from time to time to assist me. Right now we only have three staff members.” She said she would appreciate “having the back-up staff who can help us.” She said, “I have to open the lines of communication with every one in the Second Ward and it is not easy. I am trying to answer all the concerns they have.”
A minor flap ensued when Ibarra, without mentioning them by name, made a criticism of Shorett and Mulvihill for their opposition to hiring the mayoral support staff, suggesting they were slighting their own constituents. “There are several people on the council here who of course are not supporting this but at the same time there are constituents in their wards who are saying they don’t hear from their council people,” Ibarra said. “If there is an issue going on in a part of town and a constituent tries to reach out to their council person, if they don’t respond to them, they are going to try to come to us, adding on to our workload. It would be helpful for there to be someone to help those wards that don’t get responses. We need to represent the people of the city. Right now, the way it is, for us to leave it to each individual council person to be accountable to our constituents in our wards is something that is not happening currently. I’m doing the best I can on my own end and coincidentally the two that are not approving this are the ones whose constituents say they are either blocked or not responded to.”
This provoked both Shorett and Mulvihill, who each said they resented her remarks.
“I take exception with the comments that the two people – myself obviously and Jim – that we’re being criticized by one of our colleagues that we’re not being responsive to our constituents,” said Shorett. “I’ve been elected four times and I’ve been pretty responsive. I take exception with you, as a new council member, criticizing me and my experience and the relationship I do have with my constituency. I think that is wholly inappropriate.”
Mulvihill shot back even more sharply. “I take exception, too,” he said. “You are a new council person. You just showed up. I answer all of my phone calls. I go to all of my neighborhood meetings. I hope you do as good a job as you’re talking. You just got on the council and already you’re overwhelmed. I think you are really going beyond your abilities, right now.”
Councilman Theodore Sanchez, speaking first with regard to the four budgeted council representative positions, of which three are currently filled, said, “I think the roles these people will fill would fit more clearly with the more senior customer service representatives. I’m not sure we need four. I think we could cut some of the fat and I think we could work with a different category for some of these individuals and less of them. I think we need three.”
Sanchez, however, indicated that his cousin, Mayor Valdivia, could make good use of a fair number of field representatives. “I don’t think a mayor who lives in a 60-square mile mile city with a quarter of a million residents is going to be able to get through to even half of them,” said Sanchez. “We need these people.”
Saying he had already interacted with over a thousand of his own constituents, Sanchez said he had heard about the difficulty the city residents were having in communicating with their civic leaders. “There is no way they can reach anyone in City Hall,” he said. “I think there is a real benefit [to the proposal to beef up the mayor’s staff by six] and it is worth the cost.”
Councilman Henry Nickel picked up on what Saenz had said about the city’s elected leadership staying in the lanes laid out for them in the city charter, but turned it to voice support for Valdivia’s proposal. “Essentially, the city council and the mayor act as one unit, albeit the mayor has certain responsibilities,” said Nickel. “There is a certain authority the council doesn’t have, but by and large the mayor is the head of government as the charter spells out. The mayor and council must function as one. In my thinking there is a way to get to a resolution on a number of the issues that have been expressed here. I don’t think we want to devolve back into a strong mayor form of government. I would argue that in fact what we can do tonight is ensure that we achieve the objective of new charter which is to create a truly collaborative mayor and council form of government by aligning the support staff of both the council and mayor under the mayor’s office, accountable to the council, a shared role and responsibility, shared authority, as it should rightly be.”
Nickel said, “I do have an issue with the bifurcation of the reporting structure of the mayor and council, with certain staff reporting to the mayor and certain staff reporting to the city manager. To stay in our lane, I think it is important that the support staff of the mayor and the council are separate and apart from the city manager, accountable to the city council.”
As perhaps Valdivia’s strongest ally on the council, Nickel then signaled his willingness to entrust the primary responsibility for overseeing the council/mayoral staff to the mayor. “Because we are a part-time council, I don’t think it would be appropriate to have a reporting structure to us individually,” Nickel said. “I think that would be confusing. I don’t think that would be fair to the field staff that have to operate under a consolidated management structure. But I do think we can come to a system that ensures we do stay in our lanes.”
Nickel shrugged off Shorett’s and Muvihill’s suggestions that devoting 13 staff members to the mayor and the council was excessive. “We just approved in this budget, if I am not mistaken, six additional staff in the city manager’s budget,” said Nickel. “We went from 17 to 23 in the city manager’s office. We went down from four to three in the mayor’s office. And we’re currently at three in the council, four if you count the vacancy. So we have seven positions supporting the mayor and council and we have 23 support positions in the current budget under the city manager. Those numbers look a little off. I think we as the legislative policy-making body of the city directly accountable to the voters and constituents, the residents of the city, we have an obligation to make sure we can adequately respond to them and serve their purposes and needs. We need to have competent management. We should not be going into the lane of the city manager’s day-to-day operational responsibilities. But equally important, we must make sure that the city manager is not getting into the lane of the policy-making and legislative body of the city, which is the mayor and council. We’re probably going to have to make some overall adjustments to the personnel structure, as well. So what I would recommend tonight is… we not dip into our reserves to fill these positions. What I would like to see is looking at some existing vacancies that we have in the city for the balance of this fiscal year, we allocate from those vacancies to fill these positions and in the next fiscal year we recalibrate the overall personnel structure of the city. I’m not saying that this structure is 100 percent of what I would agree with. I think we do need field reps.”
Nickel suggested a 12-month probationary period for those hired as mayoral/council representative, “so that these staff understand that they have an obligation to the council, that they serve more or less at will, that subject to a vote of the council, if we’ve got four council members that reach a decision that one of these council support staff really aren’t serving the needs of council as a whole, we have the ability to vote under an at-will type contract,” Nickel said.
Councilwoman Bessine Richard signaled her willingness to support a robust mayoral/council support staff by saying, “The city’s not happy.” Continuing, she said, “Every time Andrea [Travis-Miller] comes and she needs to add more staff, I don’t hear nobody complaining. We’re talking about staff who are making $200,000-plus a year. We’re talking about $200,000 for six people, and I’ve always expressed that we need boots on the ground, we need workers on the ground, we need people out there doing work and not just people representing downtown. We need people that can get work done, and I think asking for this is really, really what the people want. I’m in agreement with Henry. Don’t go to the reserves. Have clear job descriptions about what these staff members are going to do, so therefore we won’t duplicate services. We make clear objectives and define it as to who they report to. We need this help. If we can’t operate as one unit, how can we expect to be a world class city?”
Nickel made a motion seconded by Richard to authorize the city’s finance division to amend the 2018-19 budget by appropriating $242,000 from personnel vacancies citywide into the various accounts to establish the requested six new positions in the office of the mayor, which appeared to have sufficient votes – those of Ibarra, Sanchez, Nickel and Richard – to pass.
At that point, Saenz vectored the city’s contract deputy assistant city attorney, Sonia Carvalho, to take a stab at dissuading the council from proceeding along the lines Nickel was suggesting.
Carvalho said that the council might not have the authority to directly employ or supervise city staff members under the charter or in the city’s municipal code, though, she acknowledged, there was no explicit ban on doing so, either.
Valdivia, still determined to flesh out his proposal to arm himself with nine support staff, thanked both Saenz and Carvalho for their input and pressed to move ahead with Nickel’s motion. Before that vote could be taken, Mulvihill offered a substitute motion, which under Roberts Rules of Order takes precedence over a preceding, original motion. Mulvihill’s motion called for giving direction to the city manager to look into the creation of staff positions intended to give “more attention to the city council in terms of filling out their duties, as well as the mayor, in conjunction, not in the mayor’s office per se, but shared” as a legislative body and report back at the next council meeting with structures that could be implemented for the creation of a council/mayoral staff including field reps, a receptionist and a communications director within the parameters of the city charter and the law. That motion was seconded by Shorett. The council then voted 5-to-1 in favor of the motion, with Sanchez voting no.
In a telling sign which some of the meeting’s attendees took as an indication that Valdivia’s staffing request was a political move rather than one intended to enlist staff truly interested in and dedicated to municipal issues, three of candidates handpicked by Valdivia to fill the field representative assignments, two young men and a young woman who had remained seated together in the council chambers throughout the hearing, immediately left after the vote when it became clear that their hiring was not to be approved that night, walking out as Councilman Mulvihill was beginning a report relating to the Southern California Association of Governments’ most recent regional housing needs assessment.
Near the close of the meeting, Valdivia became short-tempered with Shorett, who was attempting to verbally interact with him with regard to some of the remaining items on the agenda that were ultimately, given the lateness of the hour, postponed until the next council meeting.
“Mr. Shorett, would you allow me please to chair this meeting, sir,” Valdivia irately intoned. “I don’t need outbursts from you. I can handle this meeting just fine, Mr. Shorett. I want to encourage you to read the code of conduct on the wall, Mr. Shorett. You will not interrupt the chair in my proceedings.”

Former San Bernardino County Supervisor and Assessor Bill Postmus is now incarcerated at North Kern State Prison, where it is anticipated he will serve at least three months and perhaps more of his three-year prison sentence.
In March 2011, Postmus pleaded guilty to 15 separate criminal charges as part of a plea bargain, ten of which were felonies growing out of a bribery and kickback scheme relating to one of the last votes he cast as a supervisor in 2006, four felonies which entailed the misuse of his office while he was county assessor and a single misdemeanor narcotics charge. Those pleas came more than two years after his once-promising political career had ended in ignominy and scandal.
In 2000, when he was then 29, Postmus had been elected to the board of supervisors as the representative of the First District, which then encompassed almost the entirety of the county’s desert area. He was the sixth youngest supervisor in county history. Four years later, he was chosen by his board colleagues to serve as board chairman, the second youngest person to ever hold that position. The same year, 2004, he was selected to serve as the chairman of the San Bernardino County Republican Central Committee, the de facto head of the GOP in the county, a perch from which he had control over the purse strings of the local Party of Lincoln’s campaign war chest. He held tremendous sway in determining who was elected to an overwhelming number of political offices in the county. Two years later, in 2006, he was elected county assessor. Less than two years into his tenure as assessor, the county’s highest-ranking taxing authority, events overtook him. His image as a confirmed and uncompromising conservative Republican dedicated to family values, law, order and protecting taxpayers from liberal compromise was shattered by a series of revelations with regard to his severe addiction to methamphetamine, his promiscuous homosexual lifestyle and the degree to which he had been blackmailed and his votes and actions as a public official manipulated as he endeavored to keep those secrets under wraps. In an excruciatingly drawn-out fashion, he imploded over the last half of 2008, capped by his February 2009 resignation from his position as county assessor.
In June 2009 he was charged with utilizing his position and authority as county assessor along with the assessor’s office’s personnel, facilities and equipment for partisan political purposes. He entered not guilty pleas to those charges. In February 2010 he and one-time San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Deputies Union President Jim Erwin were charged with involvement in an extortion and bribery conspiracy relating to the board of supervisors’ 3-to-2 November 2006 vote in which he and his board colleagues Paul Biane and Gary Ovitt prevailed. That vote settled a lawsuit filed against the county by the Colonies Partners in 2002 by conferring a $102 million settlement on the plaintiff. In the criminal complaint filed against Postmus and Erwin, Colonies Partners co-managing principals Dan Richards and Jeff Burum, Colonies Partners public relations consultant Patrick O’Reilly, Supervisor Paul Biane and Mark Kirk, who had been employed as Supervisor Gary Ovitt’s chief of staff, were referenced as unidentified and uncharged co-conspirators. Both Postmus and Erwin pleaded not guilty to those charges. Eventually, however, Postmus was worn down by the pending charges, and 13 months after he and Erwin had been charged, in March 2011, he entered guilty pleas on all of the counts against him relating to corruption on his part while he was in office along with a single drug possession count. An element of his plea agreement was that he would cooperate with prosecutors in their efforts to bring to justice others involved in the conspiracy and criminal wrongdoing he was admitting to.
A month later, in April 2011, Postmus was the star witness before a grand jury. It was in some measure upon the testimony that Postmus provided that in May 2011 that grand jury issued a 29-count indictment of Burum, Erwin, Biane, and Kirk. The trial for Burum, Erwin, Biane and Kirk was delayed nearly six years until it was initiated two years ago today, on January 4, 2017. Testimony and the presentation of evidence in that trial lasted nearly eight months. Postmus was a key witness for the prosecution in that trial, testifying over the course of two weeks in May 2017. Under direct examination by Supervising Deputy District Attorney Lewis Cope, Postmus testified that Erwin, who was then working as a consultant to Burum and the Colonies Partners, had blackmailed and extorted him into voting in support of the settlement by threatening to expose his homosexuality and drug use, and that over the course of the roughly seven months after the settlement was made, he, Erwin, Biane and Kirk had been rewarded with $100,000 each in the form of donations made to them by Burum through the Colonies Partners to political action committees each of the four had set up for themselves and controlled. However, under cross examination by Jennifer Keller, one of the attorneys representing Burum, Postmus went sideways. Postmus yielded to Keller’s suggestion that he just might have been led into implicating himself, Burum and the others in the scheme after he was pressured by aggressive investigators with the district attorney’s office who had exploited his vulnerabilities, in particular his drug-addled and highly suggestible state, to plant false ideas in his mind that he had then recounted to them during further interrogations, before the grand jury and under Cope’s direct examination. Ultimately, Burum, Biane and Kirk were acquitted of the charges against them and the jury hearing the case against Erwin deadlocked and was unable to return a unanimous verdict.
Shortly after the conclusion of the 2017 trial, over which Judge Smith presided, Postmus himself came before Judge Smith, before whom he had pleaded guilty in 2011, for sentencing. When Smith gave an indication that he was contemplating sentencing Postmus to two years in state prison, Postmus, having anticipated a less stiff sentence, sought to withdraw his pleas pertaining to his involvement in the Colonies lawsuit settlement matter as well as to the malfeasance in office he admitted to while serving as county assessor. In a motion filed on Postmus’ behalf, his attorney, Jeffrey Lawrence, last year had asked Judge Smith to vacate his client’s guilty pleas and grant him a trial in which a jury would hear the cases against him. After six days of testimony in November 2018 including that from Postmus and his previous lawyers, Richard Farquhar and Stephen Levine, Judge Smith denied the motion to rescind the plea on November 14. The following day, November 15, 2018, seven weeks and one day ago, Lawrence presented an oral argument that Postmus’s crimes were de minimis in nature and that he deserved no prison time and either little jail time or immediate probation. Supervising California Deputy Attorney General Melissa Mandel countered that Postmus had conspired with others to defraud the public and divert over $100 million in taxpayer money to his co-conspirators and that he was so steeped in a culture of corruption that he did not recognize he was being bribed when he was rewarded by the recipient of the $102 million with a $100,000 political donation for doing so.
Judge Smith, after making a finding that Postmus had cooperated with prosecutors in anticipation of a lenient sentence by testifying truthfully before the grand jury and under direct examination at trial, nevertheless ruled that Postmus had knowingly falsified his testimony upon cross examination while feigning memory loss and had therefore failed to live up to the terms of his plea bargain. In accordance with what he said was the judicial discretion set forth in the 2011 guilty plea Postmus had entered, Judge Smith sentenced him to three years in state prison.
Though the prosecution wanted Postmus incarcerated at once, Smith granted him 15 days to get his affairs in order, requiring that he report to his courtroom at 8:30 a.m. on November 30. Postmus dutifully showed up and was taken into custody. He was initially confined in the custody of the county sheriff at the West Valley Detention Center in Rancho Cucamonga, and there were reports that he would be permitted to serve the entirety of his sentence at a county facility, either at the Glen Helen Rehabilitation Center in Devore, the High Desert Detention Center in Adelanto or the West Valley Detention Center.
According to Lawrence, Postmus’s attorney, his client, because of the non-violent nature of his offenses, qualified under 2011’s prison realignment law as a “triple-non offender” who would thus be eligible to serve his time within a county facility. The prison realignment law corresponded with efforts to differentiate between serious criminal activity and lesser non-violent offenses and was intended to relieve overcrowding issues in state-run penitentiaries and prisons by having so called “triple-non offenders” serve their time in county-run institutions. A triple-non offender is one whose crimes are defined as “non-violent, non-sexual, non-serious.”
Ultimately, however, it was determined that one of the crimes Postmus had admitted to participating in – misappropriation of public funds – was deemed serious. Thus he is not eligible to be housed in a county facility under the 2011 prison realignment legislation.
The Sentinel has learned that Postmus is currently incarcerated at North Kern State Prison.
North Kern State Prison is a medium-security all-male prison facility located in Delano. It has been in operation since 1993, and houses over 5,000 inmates, which is more than 200 percent of its design capacity of 2,447. More than 3,400 of the inmates at North Kern are housed in the reception center, awaiting transfer to another state prison. Close to 1,600 permanent or mainline inmates live in a separate part of the prison. Inmates are separated by security and custody levels upon arriving at North Kern. North Kern is considered a reception center for incoming inmates who are not destined to remain there for the entirety of their sentences. These transitory inmates remain there three to four months while their criminal and health records, physiological and psychological makeup and social needs are assessed and they are assigned elsewhere. All North Kern inmates have opportunities to engage in educational programs, which include small engine repair and electrical work on the vocational side and adult basic education, high school/GED and English language skills on the academic side.
Mainline inmates are considered less dangerous than incoming/reception inmates being evaluated at the reception center and are provided with certain privileges, including in some cases working outside the prison walls. Out of the 1,500 plus mainline inmates, 900 are kept behind an electrical fence and the other 600-plus inmates, who are deemed honor inmates, are enclosed by a regular fence. Mainline inmates participate in the provision of support services throughout the prison, including doing kitchen, laundry, education, and library library work, and occasionally engage in highway maintenance or litter clean-up as well as working within a nearby factory warehouse. Mainline inmates live in dorms and have their own yard separate from the reception center. In addition to prison jobs, mainline inmates are eligible for education and reentry programs.
Most reception center inmates are classified as custody level IV (high security) prisoners and are housed in double-bunked cells within four cellblocks behind an electrical fence. A few reception center inmates, known to be low risk offenders, are permitted to stay in dorms.
With good behavior credit in the California state penal system, Postmus could be released after 18 months.

The full Ninth Circuit Court will not rehear the Chino Valley school district’s appeal of a decision by a Ninth Circuit panel that last summer held a ruling by a federal judge in Riverside properly found that a majority of the Chino Valley Unified School District had been overdoing it with its intensely religious references during its public meetings. That judge ordered the district officials to curtail their religious haranguing at their public meetings.
For more than a decade the board of education with the Chino Valley Unified School District has tested the boundary of permissible religious advocacy at its public functions. In 2008, James Na, a Chinese immigrant who considers the United States to be the fulfillment of Biblical prophecy by which the values of the Kingdom of God have become manifest upon earth, was elected to the school board. Among Na’s colleagues on the board was Sylvia Orozco, who had been elected two years previously. Orozco, a committed Christian herself, did not blanch when Na showed no hesitancy in witnessing his Christian faith to one and all, both in person and in private as well as while on the dais during board meetings, evincing disappointment and indignation toward anyone who might suggest that it was improper for him to be using a public forum to engage in a religious dialogue. The proselytizing stepped up a notch with the 2012 election of Andrew Cruz to the school board.
From the school board dais Na and Cruz would frequently urge those in attendance to calibrate their own code of behavior with the instruction laid out by the Word of the Lord in the Good Book, and they would commonly take recourse in Biblical passages. At one point during a meeting in January 2014, Na said everyone should “surrender themselves to God’s will. Everyone who does not know Jesus, go find Him.”
Not to be outdone, Cruz on more than one occasion reminded those in attendance at the board’s meetings that “Jesus Christ is the truth and the way and the light.” On other occasions he was more expansive, as when he once stated, “Jesus Christ died for our sins, according to the Scripture, and he was buried and he was raised on the third day, according to the Scripture. Lord, hear my prayer, listen to my cry for mercy; in your faithfulness and righteousness come to my relief. Do not bring your servant into judgment, for no one living is righteous before you. The enemy pursues me, he crushes me to the ground; he makes me dwell in the darkness like those long dead. So my spirit grows faint within me; my heart within me is dismayed. I remember the days of long ago; I meditate on all your works and consider what your hands have done. I spread out my hands to you; I thirst for you like a parched land. Answer me quickly, Lord; my spirit fails. Do not hide your face from me or I will be like those who go down to the pit.”
Orozco, Na and Cruz are members of the Chino Hills Calvary Chapel, a church led by the Reverend Jack Hibbs. Hibbs evinces a denominationalist attitude, which holds that Christians have a duty to take over public office and promote their religious beliefs.
Hibbs made an object demonstration of the impact his brand of evangelism can effectuate when in 2010, through an extension of his church known as the Watchman Industry and with Na’s and Orozco’s assistance, he successfully lobbied the school board to include Bible study classes as part of the district’s high school curriculum.
On November 13, 2014, the Freedom From Religion Foundation of Madison, Wisconsin filed suit in Federal Court in Riverside against the district on behalf of two named plaintiffs, Larry Maldonado and Mike Anderson, and 21 unnamed plaintiffs who asserted they were alienated or intimidated at school board meetings because of the insistence of some district officials to engage in so-called Christian witnessing, including “prayers, Bible readings and proselytizing.”
The plaintiffs asked for an injunction against the intrusion of religiosity into the conducting of district business.
Although all board members and the district collectively were identified as defendants, the suit cited Na and Cruz for their routine practice of quoting Biblical passages and making other religious references.
Orozco, Na and Cruz were able to convince the remainder of the board that the district would not sustain any costs or liability as a consequence of defending against the suit, and in January 2015 the board voted 3-2 against hiring the law firm which normally represents it in court. Instead, the district engaged the Sacramento-based Pacific Justice Institute for $1 to defend the district in the civil lawsuit.
The Pacific Justice Institute, founded and led by Brad Dacus, touts itself as a public interest law firm that “handles cases addressing religious freedom, including church and private school rights issues, curtailments to evangelism by the government, harassment because of religious faith, employers attacked for their religious-based policies [and] students and teachers’ rights to share their faith at public schools.”
The case went before Federal Judge Jesus Bernal, who on February 18, 2016 issued his own encyclical in which he rejected the Pacific Justice Institute’s arguments that the district’s policy of celebrating the beliefs of a majority of the board did not violate the plaintiffs’ rights to attend district board meetings and participate in other district and school functions without being subjected to an intensive round of religious advocacy. Bernal ordered the Chino Unified School District Board to discontinue its overt and constant references to Christianity during its public meetings and refrain forthwith from inserting religion into official proceedings.
“The court finds… permitting religious prayer in board meetings, and the policy and custom of reciting prayers, Bible readings, and proselytizing at board meetings, constitute unconstitutional government endorsements of religion in violation of plaintiffs’ First Amendment rights,” Bernal wrote. “Defendant board members are enjoined from conducting, permitting or otherwise endorsing school-sponsored prayer in board meetings.”
Bernal rejected as “meritless” the board’s claim that its actions are protected by the legislative prayer exception, and volunteer chaplains could be permitted to open each legislative session with a prayer and that the legislative prayer exception applies to prayer at school board meetings since “The risk that a student will feel coerced by the board’s policy and practice of religious prayer is even higher here than at football games or graduations. The school board possesses an inherently authoritarian position with respect to the students.”
Bernal awarded the Freedom From Religion Foundation’s legal team $202,425.00 in attorney’s fees and $546.70 in costs to be paid by the district.
Despite that setback, Na, Cruz and Orozco, buttressed by Hibbs and the parishioners at Calvary Chapel, resolved to fight on, dispensing with the representation of the Pacific Justice Institute, and voting on March 7, 2016 to retain, with board members Irene Hernandez-Blair and Pamela Feix dissenting, to retain another Christian advocacy attorney, Robert Tyler of the Murrieta-based law firm Tyler & Bursch, to handle the appeal of Bernal’s ruling.
Tyler pursued the appeal by reasserting the school board’s right to proselytize during public forums, hinging his argument on the basis of the 2014 5-4 U.S. Supreme Court decision in the case of Town of Greece v. Galloway, which held that public officials can open public meetings with prayers — even explicitly Christian ones — if the government agency does not discriminate against minority faiths when choosing who may offer a prayer and the prayer does not coerce participation from nonbelievers. Despite Tyler’s contention that the district and its school board were merely seeking to preserve its invocation policy at board meetings, the three-judge panel of the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals considering the appeal – consisting of Judges M. Margaret McKeown and Kim McLane Wardlaw and Colorado District Judge Wiley Y. Daniel – looked at the actuality of what had been occurring at school board meetings, and found unpersuasive Tyler’s characterization of Na and Cruz’s action as simply offering a tepid convocation at the opening of the meetings. Rather, the panel concluded, Tyler was seeking to minimize the extent to which Na and Cruz subjected those present at the board meetings to what was tantamount to Christian indoctrination. On July 25, 2018, the 9th Circuit panel upheld in its entirety Bernal’s 2016 ruling. The 9th Circuit said the Chino Valley School Board must desist in incorporating prayers, proselytizing and the citation of Christian Scripture as elements of its meetings. Noting the frequent presence of children at the meetings who are obliged to attend because of presentations or participation in the items being taken up by the board, the court found that the religious preaching at the board meetings diverged from the legislative-prayer tradition. “Unlike a session of Congress or a state legislature, or a meeting of a town board, the Chino Valley board meetings function as extensions of the educational experience of the district’s public schools,” the panel found.
Undeterred by the resounding defeat in Riverside Federal Court in 2016 and before the Ninth Circuit panel in San Francisco, the devoutly religious faction of the Chino Valley school board, which at that time consisted of Orozco, Na and Cruz, prevailed in a 3-to-2 vote on August 1 calling for the district to throw one last Hail Mary pass into the end zone by petitioning the United States Supreme Court to reconsider the case for allowing celebrations of Christian belief to remain as an intrinsic element of school district functions. Before proceeding with the petition to the Supreme Court, it was decided, again in a 3-to-2 vote, to ask the full Ninth Circuit Court for a rehearing of the case, on the outside chance that the entirely of the circuit court would reverse the panel. There are a total of 29 positions on the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, though there are four seats currently vacant. Among the 25 currently-active judges, eight were sympathetic to the district’s position and were prepared to second guess the panel of McKeown, Wardlaw and Daniel.
The senior member of the 9th U.S. Circuit, Judge Diarmuid O’Scannlain, who was appointed by Ronald Reagan, along with judges N. Randy Smith, Sandra Segal Ikuta, Milan D. Smith, Jr., Consuelo María Callahan, Jay Bybee, Alex Kozinski and Carlos T. Bea were in favor of revisiting the matter, but were outnumbered by their peers. Accordingly, the 9th Circuit in total will not review the ruling.
Having already sustained substantial legal costs relating to the lawsuit brought by the Freedom From Religion Foundation, the district would likely assume greater financial liability in defending the case further.
At present, the school board majority that was earlier determined to appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court is no longer in place to do so. While Na and Cruz remain on the board, Orozco opted this year to run for the Chino City Council. She was unsuccessful in that endeavor. During the same election in the school board race, she and Feix were replaced by Christina Gagnier and Joe Shaffer. Based on their statements during the campaign, it does not appear that either Gagnier or Shaffer will supply the crucial third vote to appeal the case to the U.S. Supreme Court.

As 2018 departed and 2019 began, winter descended upon the community of Big Bear in earnest.
The close-out of 2018 saw Big Bear buffeted with snow flurries. At sunrise on December 28, the temperature was 19 degrees. The warmest it got to be in Big Bear that day was 27 degrees Fahrenheit. By 11 p.m. that evening, the mercury had descended to 15 degrees. At midnight on New Year’s Eve in Big Bear Lake, the temperature dropped to 13 degrees Fahrenheit. Extremely high winds, with gusts of 35 to 45 miles per hour, produced a wind chill factor that brought that to a negative seven degrees. At 9:22 p.m on January 1, the temperature was 20 degrees. Today, January 4, it was 50 degrees and sunny at 3:44 p.m.
On differing days recently, the temperature swing has been more pronounced than on others. In cases where the outside air temperature reached 35 degrees or above, three degrees or more above freezing temperature of 32 degrees Fahrenheit, ice would begin to melt, only to refreeze as night would fall.
Over the last week-and-a-half iced roads in Big Bear and its environs have resulted in at least 89 vehicles sliding uncontrollably, on some occasions into one another or into objects off the roadway. That problem has been most acute on a span of Highway 18, which descends into Lucerne Valley on the Mojave Desert side of the San Bernardino Mountains. At the Cushenberry Grade in Baldwin Lake, a SIG Alert was put into effect after the road was briefly shut down altogether on December 31 while several of the vehicles that had haphazardly slid were removed, and the road cindered. Just before noon New Year’s Eve, Maple Lane in Big Bear City was temporarily closed after a California Division of Forestry fire engine and San Bernardino Sheriff’s Department patrol vehicle collided due to icy conditions. They were apparently attempting to reach the scene of another iced-road-induced mishap that occurred at 11:38 a.m. in which four vehicles impacted.
The recent cold though dry temperatures have permitted snow-making activity to take place at Big Bear Mountain Resorts, and its two major runs, Bear Mountain and Snow Summit, with their combined 17 lifts. All roads are open, though a system arriving today is anticipated to bring a chance of showers over the weekend.
It is advised that those traveling in the mountains carry tire chains.

The procession descends
Yarmulkes of crepe
Are tossed into the waste
And the urn is shoved into its niche
Graced with elegant Hebrew script
That you’d barely learned to lisp
On high holidays, and once
When you were told to say
“Today I am a man.”
You did not live in poetry
Or such high thoughts
Of your father’s faith.
But the sands you have become
Have stopped their run
And ceased to shift
In this unwanted place
One of a thousand
Ersatz Mount Zions.

Down the years
We will find a way
Who knew the man, not the boy
Touch the glass
And leave behind
The streaks of some unsullied
Private memory
There at the edge
In the curve of your shoulder
Holding someone’s head.
To the left is laughter
So hard it breaks into tears,
And further below
Your face shows
Pillowed, just before the dawn
You breathe in
And pull the blanket’s cloak
Over us both
To bring the morning on.

Case No. PROPS1801134
To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both, of JASON EDWARD MIDDLETON
A PETITION FOR PROBATE has been filed by Ellen W. Middleton in the Superior Court of California, County of SAN BERNARDINO.
THE PETITION FOR PROBATE requests that Ellen W. Middleton be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent.
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 on January 23, 2019 at 8:30AM in Dept. No. S36 located at 247 W. Third St., San Bernardino, CA 92415.
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.

The Summary will be provided to Trustor(s) and/or vested owner(s) only, pursuant to CA Civil Code Section 2923.3(d)(2).) YOU ARE IN DEFAULT UNDER A DEED OF TRUST DATED January 12, 2009. 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 PROCEEDINGS AGAINST YOU, YOU SHOULD CONTACT A LAWYER. On February 20, 2019 at 01:00 PM, at the main (south) entrance to the City of Chino Civic Center, 13220 Central Ave, Chino, CA 91710, MTC Financial Inc. dba Trustee Corps, as the duly Appointed Trustee, under and pursuant to the power of sale contained in that certain Deed of Trust recorded on January 20, 2009 as Instrument No. 2009-0021720, of official records in the Office of the Recorder of San Bernardino County, California, executed by BARRY FLEGENHEIMER, TRUSTEE OF THE CARL FLEGENHEIMER TRUST CREATED UNDER THE FLEGENHEIMER FAMILY TRUST, DATED JUNE 4, 1982 AND ANY AMENDMENTS THERETO, as Trustor(s), in favor of BANK OF AMERICA, N.A, A NATIONAL BANKING ASSOCIATION as Beneficiary, WILL SELL AT PUBLIC AUCTION TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER, in lawful money of the United States, all payable at the time of sale, that certain property situated in said County, California describing the land therein as: AS MORE FULLY DESCRIBED IN SAID DEED OF TRUST The property heretofore described is being sold “as is”. The street address and other common designation, if any, of the real property described above is purported to be: 6741 CORAL COURT, ALTA LOMA, CA 91701 The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address and other common designation, if any, shown herein. Said sale will be made without covenant or warranty, express or implied, regarding title, possession, or encumbrances, to pay the remaining principal sum of the Note(s) secured by said Deed of Trust, with interest thereon, as provided in said Note(s), advances if any, under the terms of the Deed of Trust, estimated fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee and of the trusts created by said Deed of Trust. The total amount of the unpaid balance of the obligations secured by the property to be sold and reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of this Notice of Trustee’s Sale is estimated to be $309,422.81 (Estimated). However, prepayment premiums, accrued interest and advances will increase this figure prior to sale. Beneficiary’s bid at said sale may include all or part of said amount. In addition to cash, the Trustee will accept a cashier’s check 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 California Financial Code and authorized to do business in California, or other such funds as may be acceptable to the Trustee. In the event tender other than cash is accepted, the Trustee may withhold the issuance of the Trustee’s Deed Upon Sale until funds become available to the payee or endorsee as a matter of right. The property offered for sale excludes all funds held on account by the property receiver, if applicable. 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. 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 In Source Logic at 702-659-7766 for information regarding the Trustee’s Sale or visit the Internet Web site address listed below for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case, CA05000459-17-2. 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.

By Mark Gutglueck
In one of his last acts as California Governor, Jerry Brown on Monday December 24 issued an executive order that new DNA testing be carried out on a number of pieces of evidence related to the conviction of death row inmate Kevin Cooper in the infamous 1983 killing of Doug and Peggy Ryen, their 10-year-old daughter Jessica and 11-year-old neighbor Christopher Hughes in Chino Hills.
Cooper in 1985 was convicted and then condemned to die in the gas chamber at San Quentin, where he has remained on Death Row for more than 33 years, having in the meantime launched a series of appeals, all of which were curtailed or failed to convince higher courts that he had been wrongfully convicted.
If Cooper is innocent, his timing was execrable. Thrice convicted of burglary and imprisoned in Pennsylvania in the late 1970s and early 1980s, Cooper was released in 1982, to be shortly thereafter accused of kidnapping and raping an underaged girl who had interrupted him during yet another burglary. Confined to a Pennsylvania psychiatric facility, Mayview State Hospital, he escaped, fleeing to Southern California where he used the alias David Trautman. In Los Angeles County he was apprehended after committing two burglaries and was given a four-year prison sentence, which he began serving at the California Institution for Men in Chino in April 1983. Having been housed in the minimum security wing of that prison, Cooper on June 2, 1983 either scaled, or climbed through a hole in, the prison fence and made his way away from the prison west toward what was then the substantially rural and unincorporated community of Chino Hills. Cooper’s escape from the Chino Institution for Men came within the same approximate time frame that Michael “Fast Horse” Martinez, one of the wards at Boys Republic, an institutional all-boys home and school in Chino Hills for displaced, wayward and troubled youths, took flight from that facility.
There is no dispute that Cooper holed up in a Chino Hills home owned by Larry Lease and brothers Roger and Kermit Lang where a tenant, Kathleen Bilbia, had lived previously and moved out shortly before the murders occurred. Cooper spent at least a day-and-a-half there, sleeping in a closet in one of the house’s bedrooms.
Late in the morning of June 4, Virginia Lang briefly came into the Lease/Lang house to get a sweater, but Cooper withdrew toward the back of the house and managed to avoid her seeing him. The Lease/Lang home was some 375 feet distant from the home of Doug and Peggy Ryen, their 10-year-old daughter Jessica and their 8-year-old son Joshua. Phone records show that while there Cooper made calls to two female acquaintances/friends in an effort to get them to provide him with money or otherwise assist him in getting farther away, the last of which was made around 8 p.m. on June 4. He also smoked prison-issued Role-Rite tobacco rolled in prison issued rolling papers, the butts of which were left behind in the Lease/Lang house.
On June 5, 1983, another resident of Chino Hills, Bill Hughes, came to the Ryen home to pick up his 11-year-old son Christopher, who had spent the previous evening with the Ryen family attending a barbecue at another location and was going to sleep over at the Ryen home the night of June 4 through until the morning of June 5. The Ryen family station wagon was gone. He went around to the back of the house and looked through a sliding glass door into the master bedroom of the house. Visible were Douglas and Peggy and his son, all dead, and Joshua Ryen severely wounded. Hidden from his view was Jessica Ryen, who lay dead in the hallway. The four deceased – the husband and wife, their daughter and his son had been chopped with a hatchet, cut with a knife, and stabbed with an ice-pick, having sustained mostly to their heads, upper torsos or extremities, 37, 33, 46 and 25 wounds, respectively. Joshua Ryen was yet alive, his throat having been cut. The house phone was inoperable and Hughes left to summon help at once. The San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department, after having Joshua Ryen transported to Loma Linda University Medical Center by helicopter, initiated an investigation that entailed deputies, detectives, sergeants, forensic specialists and department higher-ups including then-Sheriff Floyd Tidwell, traipsing all over the murder scene and its environs.
In his testimony at trial, Cooper stated that he had left the Lease/Lang house after sundown on June 4 and had hitchhiked to Mexico. It is established with certainty that Cooper checked into a hotel in Tijuana, just across the international border roughly 130 miles south of Chino Hills, at 4:30 pm on June 5, 1983.
A few days later, the Ryens’ station wagon was discovered in a church parking lot in Long Beach. Sheriff’s investigators after missing them in an initial search eventually extracted from that vehicle and logged in as evidence cigarette butts consisting of prison-issued Role-Rite tobacco rolled in prison-issued rolling papers similar to those found at the Lease/Lang house. An all points bulletin identifying Cooper as a suspect in the murders was issued.
From Tijuana, Cooper went to Ensenada, where on June 9 he made the acquaintance of an American couple, Owen and Angelica Handy of Humboldt County, who had come to Baja California on their 32-foot sailboat, the Illa Tika. Identifying himself as “Angel Jackson,” he persuaded them to allow him to accompany them as a deckhand as they headed back north up the California Coast, eventually anchoring in Pelican Cove off of Santa Cruz Island. Some seven weeks after the Chino Hills murders, during the last week of July, 1983, a 26-foot sailboat anchored near the Handys’ boat. Its occupants, a couple from North Hollywood, invited the Handys and Cooper aboard their sloop to a fish fry, during which some alcohol consumption was involved. Well after midnight, Cooper returned to the 26-foot boat, where, armed with a knife, he raped the wife. Her husband reported the rape and shortly thereafter Cooper was taken into custody by Santa Barbara County sheriff’s deputies and Coast Guard personnel. After the woman was treated at Goleta Valley Hospital and released, she went to the sheriff’s office to provide a statement with regard to the rape. There she saw a “Wanted for Murder” poster/flier in the detectives’ office bearing a photo of Cooper, whereupon Angel Jackson was identified as Kevin Cooper. Items from the Lease/Lang house were found by deputies searching the Handys’ sailboat in the follow-up to the arrest.
Then-San Bernardino County District Attorney Dennis Kottmeier prosecuted the case himself with the assistance of one of his deputy prosecutors, John Kochis. The case was tried not in San Bernardino County Superior Court but in San Diego Superior Court before Judge Richard C. Garner. Cooper was defended by San Bernardino County Public Defender David Negus. The trial lasted from September 1984 until June of 2005.
Kottmeier and Kochis, though handicapped by an absence of any direct evidence linking Cooper to the killings, were nevertheless able to build a strong circumstantial case against the defendant. Kottmeier entered into evidence partial shoe prints found at the murder scene and at a nearby house where Cooper admitted he had hid after the escape. Kottmeier and Kochis further used the cigarette butts consisting of the Role-Rite prison-issue tobacco and prison-issued rolling papers found in the Lease/Lang house and in the Ryens’ abandoned station wagon to tie Cooper to the crime.
Another damning piece of evidence was a spot of blood on the hallway wall of the Ryen house that was consistent with Cooper’s blood profile.
A bloody shoeprint made by a Pro-Ked Dude shoe, matching the type of shoes issued to prison inmates was demonstrated as having been impressed on a sheet in the master bedroom of the Ryen house, along with a matching shoeprint on a spa cover outside the Ryen house, and another in the pool room at the Lease/Lang house. This was augmented with positive Luminol tests, demonstrating the presence of a quantity of blood, in a shower in the Lease/Lang house.
A bloodstained hatchet from the Lease/Lang house found near the Ryen home along with the sheath from the hatchet found on the floor of the bedroom with the closet where Cooper had slept were presented as evidence to the jury, along with a button found in the Lease/Lang house that matched a prison-issue jacket. Some hunting knives and at least one ice pick were missing from the Lease/Lang house. A strap fitting one of the missing knives was found in the same bedroom.
Another piece of evidence to suggest that Cooper had made his way from the Lease/Lang house to the Ryen residence consisted of an empty beer can in the field between the two homes matching a beer in the refrigerator at the Lease/Lang house.
The prosecution demonstrated that there were two burrs adhered to the inside of Jessica Ryen’s night-gown approximately ten inches up from the bottom hem. Kottmeier asserted to the jury that because the top of Jessica’s nightgown did not have holes corresponding with some of Jessica’s post mortem chest wounds, at some point the assailant had raised Jessica’s nightgown, and, in the process of inflicting her chest wounds, deposited the burrs. The prosecution also presented evidence to show similar burrs were found on the inside of the Ryen station wagon and on a blanket found in the closet where Cooper slept on June 3. Plants producing the burrs grew in the field between the Ryen house and the Lease/Lang house.
There were a total of 141 witness called, many of whom offered contradictory testimony. Some of the most dramatic, meaningful and important elements of the trial consisted of testimony from sheriff’s investigators and hospital personnel at Loma Linda Universtity Hospital where Joshua Ryen was flown by helicopter on June 5, 1983. Initially, in the presence of a sheriff’s detective and a social worker, the eight-year-old indicated his attackers were three white men. In a second interview an hour later, Dr. Mary Howell, Joshua’s grandmother, also testified that Joshua told Deputy Hector O’Campo that three Latinos were in the house when the family was killed. On June 15, Joshua told Reserve Deputy Luis Simo that Cooper was not the killer, saying “He didn’t do it,” upon seeing Cooper’s photo on television during a newscast.
Joshua Ryen’s testimony at trial was provided via videotape, during which he said he could not remember much about his attacker or attackers and did not see his attacker directly but as “a shadow on the wall.”
Cooper testified for five days under direct examination by Kottmeier., during which he admitted to being in the Lease/Lang house immediately adjacent to the Ryen property, but did not waiver in maintaining his innocence to the murders, while acknowledging that he had stolen a purse from a woman in San Ysidro after hitchhiking there to make his way into Mexico.
Cooper’s attorney, San Bernardino County Public Defender David Negus, put on testimony by Edward Lelko, the bartender at the Canyon Corral Bar, located not far from the Ryen home, that he had served beer to three men the night of June 4, 1983. The men were not among his regular set of customers, which generally consisted of cowboys and nearby residents. They never returned to the bar. One of those men was “extremely drunk” and was subsequently refused service. The three wore light-colored T-shirts, similar to a bloodstained tan T-shirt found on June 7, 1983, beside a road near the bar. That shirt bore the blood of Doug Ryen, it was later determined.
Based upon the circumstantial evidence he and Kochis had placed before the jury, Kottmeier convinced the jurors that there was full and convincing proof that Cooper committed the murders. Cooper was convicted on four counts of murder and one count of attempted murder. The jury recommended the death penalty and Judge Garner sentenced him to death in the gas chamber at San Quentin. There followed reviews by and appeals to state and federal courts for more than 18 years. Cooper was scheduled to be executed on February 10, 2004. On January 29, 2004, then-Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger denied a request that Cooper be granted clemency. On February 8, 2004, a three judge panel consisting of Judges Pamela Rymer, Ronald Gould and James Browning heard Cooper’s petition and rejected it by a vote of 2–1. Judge Browning, as the lone dissenter was able to assemble enough judges to get an en banc ruling blocking the execution to allow further DNA testing. Ultimately, the Supreme Court unanimously upheld the stay, effectively blocking the execution of the death warrant.
The Campaign to End the Death Penalty, the ACLU and Death Penalty Focus took up Cooper’s cause. Over the years, Kottmeier was supplanted as San Bernardino County district attorney by Dennis Stout and then by Mike Ramos. The San Bernardino County sheriff at the time of the murders, Floyd Tidwell, had since been succeeded by Dick Williams, Gary Penrod, Rod Hoops and now John McMahon, with each successive administration considering the upholding of the integrity of the Ryen/Hughes death investigation and Kevin Cooper conviction to be synonymous with the credibility of San Bernardino County law enforcement.
The sheriff’s department’s handling of the case, which was already subject to obloquy given the fashion in which more than 70 individuals, many of them sheriff’s department personnel, had trampled evidence at the murder scene in the two days following the discovery of the bodies, had its reputation damaged further when what would later be represented as key evidence was mishandled or mislaid, lost or destroyed by the department. A tan-colored shirt with blood stains was found by sheriff’s personnel not very distant from the murder scene beside Peyton Road. That shirt was logged in as evidence and is yet preserved, and will be subject to the DNA testing ordered by Governor Brown. Also alongside Peyton Road, a local resident, Laurel Epler, came across a blue shirt which she said she believed had blood on it. She called the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department and reported the find. The sheriff’s department misplaced that second shirt. A pair of bloody overalls alleged to have been worn by the man wearing the tan shirt, Lee Furrow, were thrown out without being examined by the sheriff’s department’s forensic experts, its scientific investigations division or its laboratory.
The blue shirt, the tan shirt and the bloody overalls became objects of intense scrutiny as the post trial examination and reexamination of Cooper’s guilt intensified. Investigators working on behalf of the legal team seeking to keep Cooper from being executed explored in far greater depth the trail of evidence involving the bartender at the Corral Canyon Bar, Edward Lelko, which was at the trial a cul-de-sac but which for many now looms as a major boulevard toward the goal of justice. Others in the Canyon Corral Bar who saw the three strangers that night were Shirley Killian, the bar manager; Pam Smith, a bar patron; Lance Stark, a bar patron whom the sheriff’s department tried to intimidate into not testifying in 2004; Christine Slonaker, a phlebotomist, who recognized blood on the strangers’ clothing; Mary Mellon Wolfe, who was with Slonaker and who, like Slonaker, testified to seeing the blood at Cooper’s evidentiary hearing in 2004; and Kathy Royals, a waitress who waited on the strangers. Investigators learned that another convicted murderer, Clarence Ray Allen, who was himself executed in 2006, had become embroiled in a dispute with Doug and Peggy Ryen over a horse he had purchased from them. Among Allen’s employees was another criminal, Lee Furrow, whom Allen had previously hired to kill Allen’s son’s 17-year-old girlfriend, Mary Sue Kitts. According to Furrow’s then-girlfriend, Diana Roper, Lee Furrow came home in the early morning of June 5, 1983 wearing bloody overalls and without the tan shirt he had been wearing earlier in the day. Lee Furrow changed out of the overalls and on June 9, Diana Roper called the sheriff’s department to tell them what had occurred and thereafter provided the overalls to the department. The sheriff’s department never had its scientific investigations division test the overalls for blood, never turned them over to Negus and instead disposed of them on the day of Cooper’s arraignment. Internal sheriff’s department phone logs established that a deputy sheriff made multiple attempts to give the overalls to the lead investigator. This contradicted the deputy’s later claim, when the defense made an issue of the overalls, that he never considered the overalls of evidentiary value. A supervisor admitted to an investigator that he signed off on disposing of the overalls, thereby impeaching the deputy’s testimony at trial that he made that decision.
It is believed by some that Furrow is one of the three men who were unfamiliar to Lelko, the bartender at the Canyon Corral Bar working the night of June 4, 1983. Killian, Smith, Stark, Slonaker, Wolfe and Royals, all of whom were present at the bar that night, would eventually provide testimony with regard to the presence of the three men at the Corral Canyon Bar on the night of June 4. The Ryen Family’s station wagon was found in Long Beach, within close proximity to Furrow’s mother’s home. There was blood matched to the Ryen family on both the driver side and passenger side of the font seat as well as in the back seat, an indication, Cooper’s defenders say, that three men attacked the Ryen Family and Christopher Hughes and then, splattered with blood, made their getaway in the station wagon.
Cooper’s defenders postulate that Furrow, who was part of a murderous gang that had murdered on behalf of Allen in the past, had been sent to Chino Hills to collect on a debt the Ryens owed Allen for the horse. Undercutting that theory is the consideration that by June 1983, Furrow and Allen were no longer on good terms. In 1977, Furrow had entered a guilty plea to killing Mary Sue Kitts at the bequest of Allen, who from prison sought to arrange to have another career criminal, Billy Ray Hamilton, murder Furrow and seven other witnesses to prevent them from testifying during the appeal process of Allen’s conviction in the Kitts murder.
By the early 2000s, Cooper’s legal team sought to have DNA testing carried out on several of the pieces of evidence used to convict him more than a decade-and-a-half following his conviction. Evincing a rather curious attitude for those so confident in Cooper’s guilt, prosecutors resisted those requests. Eventually, after Cooper’s 2004 execution was narrowly averted, an order for DNA testing of some of the evidence was granted. Pointedly, the DNA test showed that the tan shirt had both Douglas Ryen’s and Cooper’s blood on it.
Cooper’s advocates believe that Cooper’s blood, drawn from him after his arrest as part of the investigative process, was subsequently planted on the shirt. Furthermore, Cooper’s legal team believes that a clump of blonde hair found in Jessica Ryen’s hand is indicative that she was murdered by someone other than Cooper, an African-American.
On Christmas Eve, Governor Brown issued the order relating to the Cooper case along with 143 pardons and 131 commutations. Brown has traditionally granted clemency on or near Christmas. Since his second go-round as governor began in 2011, 28 years after his first two terms as governor concluded in 1983, Governor Brown has granted 283 commutations and 1,332 pardons. In Cooper’s case, neither a pardon nor a commutation was granted, but the governor made an executive order for new testing, using up-to-date scientific standards to be applied on four pieces of evidence: the tan T-shirt found in a ditch off the side of the road near the Corral Canyon Bar, an orange towel found near the scene and the handle of the hatchet used in the murders and the hatchet sheath. “I take no position as to Mr. Cooper’s guilt or innocence at this time, but colorable factual questions have been raised about whether advances in DNA technology warrant limited retesting of certain physical evidence in this case,” Brown wrote in his executive order. Brown said that if the tests fail to turn up new DNA or some that does not lead to any identifiable individual, “this matter should be closed.”
The San Bernardino County District Attorney’s Office, District Attorney Mike Ramos and deputy district attorneys Grover Merritt and James Secord insist that Cooper was the killer, he was given a fair and adequate trial while represented by a competent attorney and that previous DNA tests and other scientific analyses point unerringly to his guilt. Ramos said courts at every level from the trial court to the appellate court to the California Supreme Court have confirmed Cooper’s guilt while allowing for reasonable retesting of DNA evidence pertaining to the case.
Cooper’s attorney, Norman Hile, said, “On behalf of Kevin Cooper, we are very pleased that the governor finally took some action to allow us to do advanced DNA testing that we think will exonerate Kevin. We also wish that we would get the innocence investigation we have asked for and will be trying to get in the future.”
Hile said the more sophisticated, sensitive and exacting DNA analysis that extends beyond blood to sweat and skin particles absorbed into or adhering to cloth means that more pertinent information as to Cooper’s guilt or innocence can be obtained. “The first item to be advance tested is the tan T-shirt,” said Hile. “That is something that could not have been done in the past which can potentially determine who was wearing the shirt. We are absolutely convinced that Kevin was not wearing the shirt and the person who was wearing the shirt was the likely murderer of the Ryens.”
Hile indicated the testing could also bear out Cooper’s defense team’s suggestion that the case against Cooper has been tainted by law enforcement misconduct and efforts to load the dice against his client. “The previous testing done in 2002 came to the conclusion that a blood stain on the shirt, which contained Douglas Ryen’s blood contained Kevin’s DNA,” said Hile. “We think that blood was planted. That is what testing done in 2004 showed. There were heightened levels of EDTA in that sample. EDTA is the preservative law enforcement uses to preserve blood when a sample is taken from someone who is arrested. We think that shows that blood was planted on the shirt by law enforcement. The more advanced testing we are waiting on now we hope will show who was actually wearing that shirt. That is the crucial question that needs to be answered.”
Hile said Cooper’s legal team had hoped that DNA testing would also be done on the clump of hairs found clutched in Jessica Ryen’s palm but “That was not one of the four items listed in the governor’s executive order. That is part of the innocence investigation we want to do, but the governor did not include that.”
Michael Rushford, the president of the Sacramento-based Criminal Justice Legal Foundation, told the Sentinel, “There will be no different outcome in the Cooper case. The same article of clothing was tested years ago. Those tests will yield the same DNA evidence provided in the previous test. There is a mountain of evidence showing that Kevin Cooper slaughtered that family.”
Rushford said, “A DNA test that is done on a piece of clothing found on the side of the road that does not have the same DNA as Cooper’s means nothing. It did not and does not exonerate Cooper or add any other evidence to condemn Kevin Cooper. It adds nothing to the case and adds nothing to the substantial body of evidence nailing him as the murderer. Sorting through that evidence leads to the conclusion that there is no one else who could have committed those murders.”

County officials are on the verge of prohibiting owners of property located within the unincorporated areas of the county, including some exotic locales, from hosting weddings on their estates, gardens, arboretums, mansions, manors, houses or land in general.
County officials are working toward the finalization of a countywide short term rental ordinance that once in place will prohibit property owners in the county’s unincorporated areas from utilizing their homes or property for all order of activity that heretofore has been perfectly legal.
While a primary upshot of the ordinance is to impose on county property owners the need to obtain permits to engage in the short term renting or leasing of homes and residential property and impose standards relating to the furnishings, utilities, facilities, appliances and whatnot within such domiciles or other structures used for that purpose, as currently drafted, it also restricts property owners from hosting get-togethers of any size, filming movies or holding matrimonial services and receptions.
In the ordinance’s preamble, the rules, which previously did not exist, are justified as intended “to establish a permit procedure, and maintenance and operational standards, for the use of legal residential dwelling units located in the mountain and desert regions as transient occupancies, to ensure the health and safety of occupants, guests, and the surrounding residential neighborhood, and to minimize negative secondary effects associated with such use.”
According to § 84.28.040 of the ordinance, “A short-term residential rental owner may use a single-family dwelling unit as a short-term residential rental unit only if such owner has a current valid short-term residential unit permit and complies with the requirements of [the ordinance] and other applicable provisions of the county code and other laws.”
In addition to the property in question being in compliance with the California Fire Code and the California Building Code, the proposed ordinance mandates short-term residential rentals have per room occupancy limits, stating, “For a room to be considered habitable space for overnight sleeping purposes, it must be a minimum of 70 square feet. A 70 square foot room may sleep one person. Each sleeping room occupied by more than one person shall contain not less than 50 square feet of floor area for each additional person. Kitchens, bathrooms, toilet rooms, halls, closets, storage or utility spaces, and similar areas are not considered habitable rooms for sleeping purposes, and the square footage represented by these rooms is not to be used in the calculation for determining the maximum number of occupants. The maximum occupancy of a short-term residential rental unit, including day-guests, may not exceed eight short residential unit occupants if the rental unit is smaller than 1,000 square feet. On parcels smaller than one-quarter acre, the maximum occupancy of a short-term residential rental unit, including day-use guests, may not exceed 10 persons. On parcels smaller than one-half acre, the maximum occupancy of a short-term residential rental unit, including day-use guests, may not exceed 15 persons. On parcels one-half acre or greater, the maximum occupancy of a short-term residential rental unit, including day-use guests, shall not exceed 20 persons. In addition, the maximum occupancy of a short-term residential rental unit is limited by the number of on-site parking spaces. A short-term residential rental unit must have one on-site parking space available for every four persons staying there. All vehicles for short-term residential renters and day-use guests must be parked on the short-term residential unit property. No vehicles for renters and day-use guests shall be parked on neighboring properties or within the transportation right-of-way.”
Under § 84.28.070, the ordinance sets out conditions of operation. Under the subheading “Advertising of Unpermitted Uses,” the ordinance states, “Advertising that promotes a short-term residential rental unit for a use that is not permitted by this [ordinance] or other law, or any commercial activity including, but not limited to, the use of such unit for a wedding, wedding reception, corporate retreat, business conference or meeting, filming or photography shoots, fraternity party, or any other similar gathering, is prohibited.”
