An explosion that killed two apparent traffickers in illegal fireworks in the home they shared in south Ontario has drawn attention to what many members of the public perceive as an “out of control” district, a neighborhood where lawlessness prevails and city officials are at a complete loss as to how to bring the denizens of the area into rudimentary compliance with civilized standards and the law.
At roughly 12:30 p.m. on Tuesday, March 16, a sizable cache of fireworks that were stored in a home in the 400 block of West Francis Street near the intersection with Fern Avenue less than a mile east of Ontario High School exploded, touching off several nearby fires, resulting in at least $3.4 million worth of property damage.
The initial blast created a towering fireball, dislodging debris of all sorts, including portions of the house, fence planks, tires and even a bicycle, which reached heights of 35 feet or more before they crashed to the ground, witnesses said.
Tentatively identified as those killed in the blast were cousins Alex Paez, 38, and Cesar Paez, 20, who have been linked to the home on the property, which was destroyed in the explosion.
Three other people suffered minor injuries, the Ontario Fire Department said. A dog killed in the blast was found on the property. Two horses that were on the property or next to it were safely recovered.
The explosion was localized to a building behind a house between Francis Street and Maple Street, investigators said. The residential property involved at one time had been used for agricultural purposes, and had some structures other than a residence on it, perhaps including chicken coops or a shelter for livestock.
An initial report was that the fireworks involved were of an industrial grade. Subsequently, however, authorities confirmed that they were illegal fireworks believed to be of Chinese origin, of a type considered to be illegal in virtually all contexts within the United States, but not of the sort used in large-scale public pyrotechnic displays.
The blast was audible at the Upland Post Office, located roughly four-and-one-half miles north northeast of the blast, where it resounded very similarly to thunder.
As a precaution, authorities initially ordered the evacuation of 62 properties surrounding the area where the explosion occurred. As of late today, there were yet mandatory evacuation orders for 13 homes immediately surrounding where the explosion occurred, including those on the north side of Francis Street, the south side of Maple Street and the west side of Fern Avenue. As of late this afternoon, officials had rescinded the mandatory evacuation orders for the residents of 49 properties proximate to the site of the explosion, including those on the north and south sides of Francis Street between Fern Avenue and San Antonio Avenue, homes on the east and west sides of Fern Avenue between Francis Street and Maple Street and homes on the north and south sides of Maple Street between Fern Avenue and San Antonio Avenue, but were still requesting that the residents living in those homes voluntarily evacuate.
A report was that in the aftermath of the explosion, fireworks were still exploding sporadically and unexploded fireworks had been thrown by the blast to various spots around the neighborhood. Shortly after 5 p.m. on March 16, some of the small fires that spread or were lit by the first explosion were yet to be doused, and one of those sparked a secondary explosion of a bundle of fireworks that had been thrown clear of the house when the initial explosion occurred.
Windows, walls and doors of nearby homes, and in at least one case a roof, were damaged or destroyed by the blast.
Bomb squad members engaged in controlled detonations of fireworks found around the site.
As of this morning, firefighters, police officers and bomb squad members had filled 187 medium-size bins with fireworks they had collected from around the neighborhood. Those materials were subjected to safe detonation under controlled conditions.
Ontario as a municipality is the most financially well-fixed of San Bernardino County’s 22 cities and two incorporated towns, with nearly $600 million running through all of its governmental funds annually, more than twice that of its closest competitor in the county. Nevertheless, there are sections of the 185,000 population, 50.01-square mile city that are virtually lawless, and overrun with crime and poverty. In one neighborhood which blends industrial uses and residences roughly a mile-and-a-half from where the explosion took place, nearly all of the homes there are substandard. Mounds of trash and debris illegally dumped in open areas and at the sides of that district’s streets are left unattended. Two and three bedroom homes built anywhere from 80 years to a century or more ago originally intended to house a single family in many cases are severely overoccupied. A significant number of the cars parked along those streets have no license plates. Perhaps as many as a third of the cars with license plates are not outfitted with current tags. Police patrols in that area, part of the city’s transportation corridor, are nonexistent or so rare as if to be nonexistent. In the last two years there have been two massive industrial fires in the vicinity of Sultana and State Street.

In Twentynine Palms there is concern about the anticipated release of a convicted sex offender into the community.
San Bernardino County officials have been notified that Lawtis Donald Rhoden, who has at least four convictions for sex crimes involving minor victims, has been consigned by the Orange County Superior Court to reside in Twentynine Palms.
Rhoden’s criminal record extends back more than 50 years.
Rhoden, now 71, has committed multiple rapes of children. In Cocoa Beach, Florida in 1969, he lured a 13-year-old victim to his apartment and raped her on three separate occasions. Rhoden was convicted through a plea agreement of one felony relating to lewd and lascivious acts with a child under the age of 14 years. He was sentenced to 14 months in a state mental hospital and 12 years in state prison. Rhoden was treated, apparently unsuccessfully, in the state mental hospital for his inability to control his sexual urges toward young girls.
After serving his prison sentence, he was paroled.
While on parole, Rhoden sexually assaulted four children in two states. Rhoden was convicted of rape by force, forceful sexual penetration, sexual battery, and two counts of forcible rape stemming from crimes he committed in Orange County and Los Angeles County in April and June 1984. These sexual assaults were committed in three separate incidents against two 14-year-old girls and one 17-year-old girl. While those crimes were under investigation, Rhoden went to Nashville, Tennessee where he sexually assaulted a 13-year-old girl in December 1984 and was subsequently convicted of rape and use of a minor for obscene purposes. In all four instances of sexual assault, Rhoden held himself out as a photographer and, in an effort to lure in his victims, offered them modeling photoshoots.
Rhoden drove up to each of his three sexual assault victims in Orange County and Los Angeles County while they were on foot when attempting to entice them into his car.
The State of Tennessee sentenced Rhoden to 20 years in state prison, the Orange County Superior Court sentenced him to 12 years in state prison, and the Los Angeles County Superior Court sentenced him to six years in state prison.
From March of 1983 until his arrest in Tennessee, Rhoden also defrauded people in California, Florida and Texas of approximately $440,000. Rhoden’s grift involved inserting personal ads in newspapers, creating a relationship with women answering the ads, holding himself out as an investment broker or lawyer, and convincing the women as well as their friends to provide him with large sums of money to invest.
Rhoden was released from state prison in 2004 and detained in the Orange County jail based on a sexually violent predator petition filed by the Orange County District Attorney’s Office. He was later found by an Orange County jury to be a sexually violent predator under the state Welfare & Institutions Code and committed to the Department of State Hospitals for treatment.
On October 25, 2019, the Orange County Superior Court ordered Rhoden released into the community under the supervision of Liberty Healthcare.
On February 5, 2021, the Orange County Superior Court found “extraordinary circumstances” existed to authorize relocating Rhoden outside of Orange County.
On March 12, 2021, the Orange County Superior Court tentatively ordered Rhoden to live at a residence in Twentynine Palms.
San Bernardino County District Attorney Jason Anderson has assigned deputy district attorneys from his office’s sexually violent predator unit to appear before the Orange County Superior Court on April 16 and oppose Rhoden’s release into San Bernardino County.

Just under a year following the departure of former San Bernardino City Unified School District Superintendent Dale Marsden, the district’s board members voted on Tuesday night, March 16, 2021, to hire Harry “Doc” Ervin to head the district.
Ervin is to replace Harold Vollkommer, who has served as the district’s interim superintendent since Marsden’s departure.
In a prepared statement, Erwin said, “I look forward to ensuring every San Bernardino City Unified School District student has the support they need to be successful. The San Bernardino City Unified School District has a lot of great programs in place for students, and I look forward to taking what they have to the next level.”
Ervin’s hiring was unanimously ratified by board members Gwendolyn Dowdy-Rodgers, Scott Wyatt, Barbara Flores, Mayra Ceballos, Margaret Hill, Danny Tillman and Abigail Rosales-Medina.
Ervin, currently the superintendent of the Bakersfield City School District, will begin with San Bernardino City Unified on July 1.
Marsden privately informed the district’s board members of his intended resignation effective at the end of March 2020 at the school board’s meeting on December 10, 2019, and he made a public announcement the next day. Mystery has attended the circumstance, as there were no overt signs of dissatisfaction with Marsden among the school board’s members.
Both Marsden and Erwin were members of the U.S Military. Marsden served in the U.S. Air Force for four years before attending college, after which he went into the teaching profession. Ervin is a U.S. Marine Corps veteran.
Erwin has a bachelor of arts degree in liberal studies and master of science in education administration from Alliant International University. His administrative credential was earned at California State University, Fullerton. He and his wife have three sons and one daughter.
An African American, Ervin is fluent in Spanish. His 25 years in the educational field range from classroom teaching to principal, assistant superintendent and superintendent. He was superintendent in Bakersfield since 2016.
In 2012, Marsden replaced Dr. Arturo Delgado as San Bernardino City Unified’s superintendent, where 54,000-student were then enrolled. Just under 90 percent of the district’s student population at that time lived in households below the federally defined poverty level. That statistic has not changed for the better in the nine years since. About 2,800 of the district’s students are homeless.
The number of students in the district dropped during Marsden’s tenure, such that there are now roughly 49,000 students enrolled throughout the district, from kindergarten to 12th grade. The district at this point stands as the ninth-largest school district in California.
Academic progress across the spectrum in the San Bernardino City Unified School District has been spotty over the years.
Marsden made some inroads while with the district. Of those that managed to make it to the 12th grade, 91 percent of the senior class in San Bernardino City Unified high schools in 2019 graduated, surpassing the county, state and national average.
Marsden was praised for having put into place a community engagement strategy to deal with issues interfering with students’ ability to focus on their studies, and heading off behavioral and attitudinal problems, which was deemed at least partially successful in increasing the district’s graduation rates and achieving a 50 percent reduction in student suspensions and citations. He also championed a “career pathway” focus for students to instill in them the skills necessary to find work, while not necessarily aiming at preparing 100 percent of the district’s students to attend college.
At the same time that Marsden was being lauded, the district was loathe to acknowledge that only 28.3 percent of its students met college course requirements. According to the California State Department of Education, 49 percent of students in San Bernardino are performing below state standards in math, 39 percent are not meeting standards in English language arts/literacy and 45 percent are testing below the standard level in reading.
The school board was stymied in its effort to replace Marsden because of issues relating to the COVID-19 pandemic. A nationwide recruitment was resumed in January. Erwin was selected from among 20 applicants.
The school board was impressed with Ervin’s career emphasis on striving for equity and student engagement, and his efforts to make education possible for economically-disadvantaged students from culturally-diverse backgrounds, according to a statement put out by the district.
San Bernardino City Unified School Board President Gwen Dowdy-Rodgers said the board “listened closely to our SBCUSD community about the qualities we should look for in a new superintendent.”
With Ervin, she said, “We are confident we have found a transformational leader, as his experience at all levels of the educational system will help us effectively navigate the opportunities and challenges that come as we recover and grow from the COVID-19 pandemic.”
The school board is set to approve Ervin’s contract April 6. Salary figures and the benefit package Ervin is to receive have not been publicly provided.
There had been some criticism leveled at Marsden over his level of compensation.
Just before the onset of the school year in 2017, Marsden negotiated a four-year contract worth $1.2 million in base pay, consisting of an annual salary before benefits of $307,546. Calculation of his total compensation included another $124,271.32 in yearly benefits, including contributions toward his pension plus $24,000 worth of annual life insurance deposited into a trust account, another $12,000 per year put into a tax-sheltered account for him, a $14,400 annual housing allowance and a $9,120 auto allowance. The contract provided him with 24 vacation days and 30 sick days per year and full lifetime medical and dental coverage for himself and his wife upon his retirement. Marsden was given a district-issued credit card for expenses incurred while at work, and the district entitled him to reimbursement  for all necessary business-related expenses he personally paid in the conducting of his duties. Thus, Marsden’s total annual compensation package stood at $432,817.32, making his four-year contract worth $1.7 million all told.

CASE NO. PROPS 2100216
To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both of WILLIAM RONALD DUKE
A PETITION FOR PROBATE has been filed by WILLIAM RANDALL DUKE in the Superior Court of California, County of SAN BERNARDINO.
THE PETITION FOR PROBATE requests that WILLIAM RANDALL DUKE be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent.
The petition requests the decedent’s wills and codicils, if any, be admitted to probate. The will and any codicils are available for examination in the file kept by the court.
THE PETITION requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.) The independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority.
A hearing on the petition will be held in Dept. No. S-36P at 9:00 a.m. on APRIL 22, 2021 at Superior Court of California, County of San Bernardino, 247 West Third Street, San Bernardino, CA 92415, San Bernardino District.
IF YOU OBJECT to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney.
IF YOU ARE A CREDITOR or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within the later of either (1) four months from the date of first issuance of letters to a general personal representative, as defined in section 58(b) of the California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under Section 9052 of the California Probate Code.
Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law.
YOU MAY EXAMINE the file kept by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form DE-154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250. A Request for Special Notice form is available from the court clerk.

Sentinel 03-12-21

By Mark Gutglueck
Thirteen years after the City of Victorville sought to utilize bond financing to carry out an effort to fully convert the former George Air Force Base into a civilian airport and according to the federal government defrauded investors in the creation and marketing of those bonds, the city this week once again geared up to use bond financing in the effort to enhance economic development at the aerodrome. The action taken at a special meeting called on Monday briefly showcased the debacle with regard to the 2008 issuance of $13.3 million in bonds and current City Manager Keith Metzler’s central role in the matter, which ultimately cost Victorville’s taxpayers close to $19.6 million in lawyer’s fees alone when the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission interjected itself into the matter.
To pick up some spending cash when he was a teenager, Keith Metzler in the late 1980s and early 1990s had served as a caddie at the Green Tree Golf Course in Victorville. There he met many of the movers and shakers in the High Desert’s most prosperous city, including Terry Caldwell, then Victorville mayor who had been on the city council since 1972, and Jim Cox, who had been the city manager since 1969. Based upon that contact, a few years later, after he had graduated from high school and while he was yet a student at the University of California at Riverside majoring in business administration, Metzler in 1996 began with the City of Victorville as an administrative intern. As one of Caldwell’s protégés, Metzler over the next seven years made steady progress. In June 1997, after his graduation from college, he was hired as an administrative assistant. In December 1999 he became a redevelopment project manager. After just four months in that assignment, in April 2000, he was promoted to the position of deputy director of the city’s redevelopment agency. In April of 2003, he was given the added assignment of executive director of the Victor Valley Economic Development Authority, the joint powers agency involving the County of San Bernardino, the cities of Hesperia, Victorville, and the town of Apple Valley devoted to the civilian use conversion of the former George Air Force Base. In December 2003, he was made the city’s director of economic development. It was while in that role that Metzler engaged in activity that yet casts a cloud over his professional career and which has come to taint the reputation of the city and the members of the Victorville City Council past and current.
From the late 1990s until 2010, Victorville issued some $480 million in bonds in order to undertake all order of civic and capital improvements throughout the city and within its redevelopment agency. In 1999, Jim Cox had retired as city manager after three decades in that position. Thereafter, the city was essentially in the hands of Terry Caldwell, who was moving toward becoming one of the longest serving continuously elected local politicians in the state at that time; City Attorney Andres de Bortnowsky; Jon Roberts, who had been brought in after Cox’s departure to be city manager; and Buck Johns, an Orange County-based developer who beginning in the 1980s focused considerable attention on the High Desert and had bankrolled Caldwell’s political career and those of his allies on and off the Victorville City Council.
The city was intent upon the civilian use conversion of the former George Air Force Base, which had been shuttered by the Department of Defense in 1992. The base, originally named the Victorville Army Air Station when it was crash built in the summer and fall of 1941 as the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor and the United States’ direct involvement in World War II fast approached, was located on the outskirts of Victorville near Adelanto. Throughout the mid and late 1990s, Victorville, led by Caldwell and Cox, outmaneuvered Adelanto, which had a competing bid with the Pentagon for redevelopment and eventual ownership/takeover rights to the base. Caldwell, who was an attorney and well-versed in the methods by which government operates, worked in close cooperation with San Bernardino County, Apple Valley and Hesperia through the joint powers collective of the Victor Valley Economic Development Authority, known by its acronym VVEDA, to convince the federal military base re-use authorities that VVEDA offered the best alternative for reclaiming the base. Adelanto, led by then-City Administrator Pat Chamberlaine and a series of warring political factions on the Adelanto City Council, proved no match for the more patient, knowledgeable, sophisticated and well-connected Caldwell and Cox.
On Friday, April 29, 1994 James Boatright, then the Air Force’s deputy assistant secretary for installations, signed a lease giving the Victor Valley Economic Development Authority essential dominion over 2,300 acres at the base. On January 9, 1995, the Air Force announced that it would deal with VVEDA exclusively in the discussion with regard to the annexation of the remaining 3,039 acres on the base that VVEDA had not yet leased. At 9 p.m. on February 1, 1995 after a vote of the city council, then-Adelanto Mayor Judy Crommie and then Mayor Pro Tem Mary Scarpa signed a copy of an agreement previously signed by VVEDA officials that had been forged between the Victor Valley Economic Development Authority and the City of Adelanto in which both entities agreed to end the legal wrangling over the base. With the signing of that peace pact, Adelanto gave up any land claims at the base and further utterly capitulated on all other ownership, entitlement, management, taxing authority and control issues while retaining its previously established water rights on the base property.
Once VVEDA safely had the base secured, Caldwell and his support network machinated further to have Victorville assume from the Victor Valley Economic Development Authority primary responsibility, control and ultimately ownership of the air base, rebranded as Southern California Logistics Airport. Victorville thereafter solidified its dominance over the airport through the creation of the Southern California Logistics Airport Authority, which was dedicated to the redevelopment of a 132-square mile area in and around the former Air Force base. Known by its acronym SCLAA, the Southern California Logistics Airport Authority was chartered with the five members of the Victorville City Council serving as its board of directors.
Victorville city officials were committed to transforming the former base’s runway and accompanying aviation facilities into the premier civilian airport in the Mojave Desert. Another portion of the base and its surrounding land was slated to house cutting edge technology and industrial operations. And after making the misstep of tearing out an existing rail spur that connected the base to the existing rail line that traversed the desert near the base, the city and the Victor Valley Economic Development Authority locked onto establishing the remainder of the base and its surrounding property as an intermodal transportation hub involving air cargo, rail freight and nearby Interstate 15.
The provision of infrastructure and utilities were a natural priority for the base conversion effort and Buck Johns and his corporation, the Inland Group, had an inside track on this highly lucrative element of the operations.
In 1998, Johns had used his connection to Caldwell to obtain without any competition or adversarial bids clearance to pursue the development of an electrical generating station in Victorville;ssphere of influence. Referred to initially as the High Desert Power Plant and later called Victorville 1, Johns and Inland Energy initiated the permitting process for that plant in 1998, and in conjunction with Baltimore-based Constellation Energy completed the project in just under five years. It fired up and tied into the State of California’s electrical grid in 2003.
Johns was able to use that success to get the city to venture money towards various other projects he was involved in. During the city’s efforts toward encouraging the development of energy sources, including the never-realized 550-megawatt Victorville Power Plant #2 (Victorville 2) and the 14-megawatt Foxborough Electrical Generating Station, the city squandered $116 million, according to the 2011-12 San Bernardino County Grand Jury. In initiating the relationship with Inland Energy, according to the Grand Jury, Metzler and the city did not seek out any other service providers. “The city entered into the no-bid contract with Inland Energy based on a proposal from the company,” according to the grand jury.
In less than four four years, between August 2005 and March 2009, the city paid out more than $13 million to Buck Johns and Inland Energy, with the lion’s share of that money going to plan for or construct power plants that were never built.
While the planning efforts toward the never-built projects provided a substantial windfall for the private interests involved, which in turn made hefty contributions to Caldwell and his circle of political allies including those who served with him on the city council such as Mike Rothschild and Robert Hunter, the city saw no tangible benefits from the more than $100 million in outlays it made to develop adequate electrical power generating capability at and around the airport. Most of the funding for Victorville’s failed pursuit of electrical independence came from bond financing.
Metzler, while yet in his late twenties and early thirties, was beholden to Caldwell and Roberts for putting him on the professional fast track at Victorville City Hall, which rendered him entirely willing to do their bidding. From 2003 until 2010, while functioning in the role of the city’s director of economic development, Metzler took action that a more seasoned municipal management professional would have been far more reluctant or cautious or unwilling to carry out. Indeed, Metzler found himself in a position in which he was clearly out of his depth, needing legal assistance to chart his way in the treacherous water he found himself in. Yet the one legal authority he could turn to was the city attorney, Andres de Bortnowsky, who was himself beholden to Caldwell and therefore militating more in favor of Johns and Inland Power than he was for the city.
According to the 2011-12 San Bernardino County Grand Jury, which had carried a review of the documentation relating to the contractual relationships the City of Victorville through its economic development division and redevelopment agency entangled itself in during the first decade of the century, noted that with regard to the project to develop the Victorville 2 power plant, “The development agreement with Inland Energy was based on a previous agreement between Inland Energy and Constellation Energy for development of the High Desert Power Plant. The agreement was written by attorneys representing Inland Energy using the High Desert Power Plant [Victorville 1] contract as a template. Although the city attorney reviewed and provided comments on a draft contract, it does not appear that the city attorney or other city managers actively negotiated the terms of the agreement to be substantively more beneficial to the city than the template contract it was based on. In fact, the agreement that the city entered into appears to be significantly more generous to the developer than the template agreement.”
The city made inadequate review of the contract terms, the grand jury found, pointing out that “the “agreement vaguely defines and poorly controls the provision of services. The agreement with Inland Energy allows for the company to be compensated for two types of services: (1) ‘development services’ and (2) ‘supplemental services.’” Ultimately, according to the grand jury, Buck Johns and Inland Energy managed to get Metzler to agree to have those “services… expanded to include assistance with the construction of the plant,” even though the plant was never actually completed. “Inland Energy was paid approximately $12.2 million from 2005 to 2010 for development services related to the Victorville 2 project. While these services, to an extent, may have been related to the Victorville 2 project, the supplemental services clause has been used to justify services completely unrelated to the project. Specifically, the city has paid over $607,000 to Inland Energy through May 2010 under this clause for other, consistently unsuccessful, projects. These expenditures have included over $166,000 for consulting services related to the city’s unsuccessful efforts to obtain federal grant funding under the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s Immigrant Investor Program, also known as ‘EB-5’, and over $182,000 for consulting services related to the city’s unsuccessful attempt to develop and construct a power plant at the Foxborough Industrial Park in the Bear Valley Redevelopment Project Area. Additionally, Inland Energy was paid over $258,000 for consulting services related to the city’s efforts to investigate the possibility of becoming a community choice aggregator. While this service was related to the Victorville 2 project, it ultimately provided no tangible benefits to the project, the city, or Southern California Logistics Airport.”
According to the 2011-12 San Bernardino County Grand Jury, the contract performance terms were poorly constructed and implemented. “The development agreement contains no effective performance measures for Inland Energy,” the report states. “There are no specific mechanisms that would allow the city council or city management to hold the contractor accountable for its performance.”
Of note is that at a crucial time when much of this was ongoing, from 2007 until 2008, Metzler was distracted, attending classes at San Bernardino State University’s College of Business and Public Administration where he was getting his master’s degree in business administration.
It appears that Metzler either did not scrutinize the billings that came in from Inland Energy in the 2008 timeframe, or if he did, that he merely complied with the instructions given him by Roberts and Caldwell to simply rubberstamp the invoices for payment. John Barnett, the vice president of Inland Energy, in September 2008 was paid $37,750 for work that was never specified. In 2008, the city paid Barnett $346,250, at a rate of $226.61 per hour for what amounted to an average 29-hour work week on efforts that had no specific outcome. Between August 2005 and March 2009, staff at Inland Energy were paid roughly $4.48 million on activity that did not result in any progress toward the putative goal of constructing power plants for the city. While invoices provided to the city by Inland Power generally listed some ostensible purpose for the work, there were $330,201 in billings that were made which paid that were not tied to any explicated purpose or service.
The highly questionable use of a significant portion of the $480 million in bond financing that Victorville was using in its redevelopment activity at and around the former George Air Force Base caught the attention of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, which in 2010 began looking into precisely how that money was spent. In August 2010, the Securities and Excahnge commission subpoenaed from the city all documents relating to $480 million in outstanding bond offerings. Over a period of more than two years, the Securities and Exchange Commission’s investigators pored over those documents, in the course of which they found a number of indications that the city had engaged in some highly dubitable practices both in the acquisition of the bond money and its application once it was in possession of it, with one circumstance in particular involving activity so egregious it merited action.
In April 2013, the Securities and Exchange Commission charged the City of Victorville, the Southern California Logistics Airport Authority, Metzler, the airport authority’s bond underwriter and the bond underwriter’s owner and vice president with defrauding investors by inflating valuations of property securing an April 2008 $13.3 million municipal bond offering.
In 2008, the airport authority publicly offered $13.3 million in tax increment bonds to repay part of a short-term debt, making the offering on the premise that the bonds could be backed by the collateral of four hangers, which the city claimed were worth $65 million. That value was used to determine the tax increment, thereby enabling the authority to meet a minimum 1.25 annual debt service ratio required for such bond issuances to take place. Securities and Exchange Commission investigators, through a check at the San Bernardino County Hall of Records, learned that the county assessor had valued the hangars at $27.7 million, less than half of what the city claimed. Based on that misrepresentation, a false statement as to the soundness of the bonds was made to the investors, i.e., the buyers of the bonds, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) concluded.
Metzler, who at the time of the SEC filing was Victorville’s assistant city manager, the Carlsbad-based bond underwriting firm of Kinsell, Newcomb & DeDios, the firm’s owner J. Jeffrey Kinsell, and the firm’s vice president Janees L. Williams were responsible for false and misleading statements made in the airport authority’s 2008 bond offering, the SEC alleged. It also charged that the bond underwriting firm, working through a related party, misused more than $2.7 million of bond proceeds to keep itself afloat.
“Financing redevelopment projects by selling municipal bonds based on inflated valuations violates the public trust as well as the antifraud provisions of the federal securities laws,” said George S. Canellos, co-director of the Securities & Exchange Commission’s Division of Enforcement. “Public officials have the same obligation as corporate officials to tell the truth to their investors.”
According to the Securities and Exchange Commission, Victorville city officials, including Metzler, were engaged in so-called “handshake deals,” undocumented arrangements involving the expenditure of bond-derived funding.
Metzler and the city were motivated to make the misrepresentations, according to the SEC, because the city and its attendant agencies and adjunct entities including the airport authority had incurred more than $269 million in debt in the effort to develop the airport, and had exhausted all options in leveraging available tax revenues, including obtaining a bridge loan while hoping that operations at the airport would pick up and begin to generate revenue to service the accumulating and mounting debt. When such an increase in operations did not materialize, the city went forward with the bond issuance which the Securities and Exchange Commission claims was collateralized with the overvalued hangars.
In the early going, lawyers for the city and Metzler posited defenses for what had occurred that in the light of subsequent revelations were shown to be either inapplicable, inaccurate or embarrassing. In one 2013 filing, in an effort to dismiss the claims, the city and airport authority’s lawyers said that the difference in assessments didn’t change the debt service ratio, “upon which an investor might rely.”
“The alleged $37.3 million inflated value,” the city’s lawyers wrote in the filing, “ultimately boils down to only a $200,000 differential in tax increment,” which the lawyers said was too small to be material.
While initially the city, the airport authority and Metzler were represented by the city attorney’s office, within short order, Metzler was being represented by a different set of attorneys than the city and the airport authority. The city and its taxpayers were footing the bill for all of the defendants in the SEC action against Victorville.
Victorville and the airport authority were represented by Terree A. Bowers, Adam Bentley, Collin Seals and Karen Van Essen of Arent Fox LLP. Metzler was represented by Michael D. Torpey, James N. Kramer, James A. Meyers, Kevin M. Askew, Judy Kwan and Blake L. Osborn of Herrington & Sutcliffe LLP.
By 2015, the Herrignton & Sutcliffe were proving to be more aggressive than Arent Fox in propounding that much of what was at the basis of the SEC’s case was action by Kinsell, Newcomb & DeDios.
In a July 2015 filing, however, the SEC asserted Metzler could not logically or credibly lay responsibility for what had occurred at the feet of Kinsell, Newcomb & DeDios or other agents of the city, including city staff assigned to the airport.
Metzler was the “point person” most fully focused on the situation at the airport, including the value of its various assets, the SEC’s lawyers, consisting of Robert Conrad, Theresa Melson, Todd Brilliant. Sam S. Puathasanon, John W. Berry, Kristin S. Escalante, Amy Jane Longo and David J. Vanhavermaat, asserted. Metzler played “a significant role” in the bond offerings, according to the SEC, communicating with the bond rating agencies and giving presentations to potential investors. Evidence shows he knew the county assessor valued the hangars at less than half the amount he represented, the SEC contended.
“Metzler, in his motion, attempts to characterize this case as one about simple ‘mistakes’ that he made while surrounded by a team of professionals who should have fixed the errors instead of him,” according to the SEC. “What he ignores, however, is the compelling evidence of his intentional conduct to hide serious problems regarding the millions of dollars of tax increment that was needed to repay back the authority’s ever-increasing debt load.”
In time, the city’s legal representatives got on board with the strategy formulated by Metzler’s attorneys, and both sought to propound a defense that the city and Metzler had been victimized by Kinsell, Newcomb & DeDios.
An issue with the defense the city and Metzler were putting up was that the closer Herrington & Sutcliffe and Arent Fox lawyers came to being able to convince the judge hearing the case, U.S. District Judge John A. Kronstadt, as well as the Securities and Exchange Commission or the jury that was supposed to eventually be impaneled to hear the case that it was Kinsell, Newcomb & DeDios which perpetrated the violations and pulled the wool over Metzler’s his eyes in effectuating the misappropriation of $2.7 million in bond proceeds as alleged by the SEC, the closer they came to establishing, or at the very least strongly suggesting, that Metzler was negligent in his supervision of the airport operations and its financial affairs.
The matter became more problematic and damaging for the City of Victorville when the depositions of Caldwell, who elected not to seek reelection in 2010 after 38 years on the Victorville City Council, and Roberts, who left as Victorville city manager in 2009 to become the city manager of Steamboat Springs, Colorado, were taken in preparation for anticipated trial in the matter. Depositions are question and answer sessions conducted under oath.
Caldwell was one of the shrewdest and most sophisticated elected officials in San Bernardino County history who remains to this day a practicing attorney, having first passed the bar in 1975. During his deposition, however, Caldwell feigned brain fade, claiming to be unable to recollect anything relating to what had occurred in the city while he was mayor and on the council during the time in question. Moreover, despite having conducted hundreds of depositions in his capacity as a lawyer, he came across as a legal and procedural naif, and as a mayor and elected official who was unfocused and uninterested in the business of the city he had headed for the better part of four decades.
Roberts, likewise a top caliber municipal management professional who had been Victorville’s city engineer prior to the ten years he spent as city manager before going off to the Colorado assignment in 2009 and then remaining in Steamboat Springs for five years, malingered when he was subjected to questioning by the Securities and Exchange Commission’s legal team. Though he had remained in Steamboat Springs and continued to function as city manager there after having been injured in both a skiing accident and landing mishap while he was skydiving, Roberts attributed his inability to answer or even talk cogently during his deposition to those incidents.
During a closed session of the Victorville City Council when strategy for the city’s defense against the SEC suit was being discussed, the Sentinel has learned, city officials were laughing at the way in which Caldwell’s and Roberts’ conducting of themselves had thwarted the Securities and Exchange Commission’s investigation.
Ultimately, after the expenditure of $19.6 million on legal fees paid to Arent Fox LLP and its attorneys Terree A. Bowers, Adam Bentley, Collin Seals and Karen Van Essen and Herrington & Sutcliffe LLP and its attorneys Michael D. Torpey, James N. Kramer, James A. Meyers, Kevin M. Askew, Judy Kwan and Blake L. Osborn, Victorville fought the Securities and Exchange to a standstill. In a settlement agreed to on July 24, 2018, entered into on July 30, 2018 and publicly disclosed on August 7, 2018, all of the parties agreed to, according to the SEC, “final judgments against the city and the airport authority,” which imposed an assurance that “permanently prohibits each of them from violating the antifraud provisions of Section 17(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933. The judgment against the city also orders it not to issue municipal securities until an independent consultant review of their internal controls and practices is completed and the recommendations implemented. Furthermore, according to the SEC, the city and the airport authority… agreed to the settlement without admitting or denying the SEC’s allegations.”
Victorville Councilwoman Blanca Gomez told the Sentinel that during closed session discussions of the legal strategy for carrying out the city’s defense of the SEC filing against the city, the airport authority and Metzler, it was acknowledged that false representation had to be made in court filings and to Judge Kronstad to prevent federal authorities from discovering even more egregious action by the city in the securing of bond financing and the uses to which those funds were put.
This week, at its specially-called meeting which was also devoted to arriving at a determination as to how the city will fill the gap on the city council created by the removal of Councilwoman Rita Ramirez on March 2 , the city council took up a proposal to issue $6 million in bonds and simultaneously refinance more than $48 million in outstanding bonds from an $83 million bond issuance in 2007. The bonds to be refinanced were issued in roughly the same timeframe that the city was engaged in what the Securities and Exchange Commission said was the fraud relating to the $13.3 million in tax increment bonds collateralized by the overvalued hangars.
According to the report to the council completed for the special March 9 meeting prepared by Electric Utility Services Director Brenda Hampton and Finance Director/City Treasurer Bobby Magee, “Victorville Municipal Utility Services currently provides electric service to customers located at the Southern California Logistics Airport via a 34.5 kV Southern California Edison  interconnection and distribution service.  Beginning in 2017, Victorville Municipal Utility Services began to realize this service was limited in its capacity, due to the increase in peak demand, which can hinder future growth of its customers and the ability to provide reliable power.”
Hampton and Magee further related, “In 2007, the City of Victorville, through the Victorville Joint Powers Financing Authority, issued its variable rate lease revenue bonds (2007A Bonds) in the amount of $83,770,000 for the purpose of financing and refinancing improvements to the Victorville Municipal Utility Services electric system. The 2007A bonds are currently outstanding in the amount of $48,115,000 and have a final maturity of May 1, 2040.”
Upgrades to the city’s electrical system to ensure no outages during peak usage hours can be made, Hampton and Magee indicated, for roughly $6 million. “Victorville Municipal Utility Services has selected the lowest cost option and the most expedient by expanding the current 34.5 kV system, which would increase the capacity from 17.34 MW to 40.37 MW and will be sufficient to serve the current and anticipated load over the next several years,” the report states. “To ensure that Victorville Municipal Utility Services has all the required designs, equipment and materials for the construction of the project on a timely basis, Victorville Municipal Utility Services may be required to purchase longlead items prior to the issuance of the new bonds.” The item that was before the council, Hampton and Magee said, “will allow Victorville Municipal Utility Services to be reimbursed for certain capital expenditures, incurred from future infrastructure capacity expansion and distribution upgrades and contingent upon the issuance of the new bonds, in a total amount not expected to exceed $6,000,000. This will help Victorville Municipal Utility Services maintain a sufficient level of reserves and a strong level of liquidity to overcome unforeseen circumstances, such as revenue declines due to losing a major customer or increase in power supply costs.”
Hampton and McGee referenced the July 2018 settlement with the SEC in their report. “On July 24, 2018, the City, Southern California Logistics Airport Authority and the Securities and Exchange Commission agreed to a settlement regarding prior allegations related to the issuance of Southern California Logistics Airport Authority redevelopment tax increment bonds. As a result, on February 19, 2019 the city council approved revisions to its debt management policy.” In keeping with that revised debt management policy, Hampton and McGee said the city should take advantage of current market conditions and refinance its bonded indebtedness.
Hampton and McGee noted that the bonds issued in 2007 “were secured by the city’s pledge of lease revenues through a leaseback transaction encumbering certain city facilities as collateral. These facilities include City Hall, multiple city parks, fire stations, the city library, Victorville Police Station, and various city yards. The encumbrance of these city facilities may impair the city’s ability to receive grant funds that require deed restrictions.”
Hampton and McGee told the council “Since borrowing rates and costs for the long-term municipal markets are at historical lows,  Victorville Municipal Utility Services has a cost-savings opportunity, not only by financing the current project, but also refinancing the existing 2007A Bonds. By pursuing this option, the city will be able to lock in a low and long-term fixed rate, eliminate the risk of paying variable rates during volatile market conditions and unencumber all city facilities.”
Saying they had consulted with Urban Futures, Inc. to advise the city and assist with the issuance of new bonds and had selected the law firm of Orrick Herrington, the firm that had represented Metzler during the 2014-to-2018 jousting with the Securities and Exchange Commission, to serve as bond counsel, Hampton and McGee recommended that the city “issue new debt and refinance existing debt to help finance the capacity upgrades at Southern California Logistics Airport.”
Ultimately, the city council voted 3-to-1, with Councilwoman Blanca Gomez dissenting, to undertake the preparation of the bond issuances to pay for the Victorville Municipal Utility Services electric infrastructure capacity expansion and debt refinancing.
Before that vote was taken, however, Romero Rodriguez told the council, “They mentioned something about the settlement in 2018 with the SEC. Does that include the fines that were paid in settlement for the embezzlement charges leveled against Keith Metzler that were settled out of court? Is that settlement part of the readjustment of the loan and the millions and millions of dollars of the attorneys’ fees with Orrick? Now the rating of the bonds, for that to happen, with the history of investor fraud being issued here on the bonds and the city being denied to issue bonds for some time, would that have an adverse effect on the ratings of those bonds? Also, here’s a question at the start of this whole thing: The properties that are going to be backing those bonds, did the tax assessor value them at the correct prices, and are we going to have the same thing happen that happened a few years back that cost us, the taxpayers, $30.6 million?”
Rodriguez said, “We also need to know: What are the properties that are going to be put up to back these bonds? They just said city properties. Parks? Is the golf course going to be put up again? Why don’t we go with – instead of just risking money to fund this venture with the city to build something – why don’t we just go with somebody who’s been doing this for hundreds of years already, Southern California Edison?”
Romero then referenced the city’s failure to deliver on past power plant projects, which he said had ended with city suffering a $4 million loss as the result of a lawsuit. “We never ever presented what we promised to. With that going on and on, I don’t see many companies and corporations climbing over each other to come work with us.”
Mayor Debra Jones invited Metzler to respond to Romero.
“The comments from Mr. Rodriguez are largely mischaracterized,” Metzler said. “With the comment about embezzlement charges, there’s no such thing as embezzlement charges. Embezzlement charges were never levied against the city, the airport authority or even myself in connection with previous bonds being issued. I would encourage Mr. Rodriguez to actually go back and read the actual case. In terms of history of fraud, there’s never been an actual history of fraud, and, in fact, I think to the question he was asking related to the two, anybody would be concerned if those actually occurred, but in this particular case as it relates to Victorville and its affiliated entities, that’s just a figment of imagination.”

Inviting accusations that its members had engaged in a violation of the Brown Act, the Upland City Council this week made a major reversal from its previous direction, consenting to place all five of its members into board positions for water companies the city has a controlling interest in.
Last month, on February 8, Mayor Bill Velto attempted to get the city council to go along with appointing himself and Dan Richards, one of the primary donors to his political fund, to the board of the San Antonio Water Company. The council, however, had balked at doing so. The central element in the council majority’s reluctance to making those appointments hinged on an issue brought up by Councilwoman Shannan Maust, that being the potential complication and conflicts that would ensue if the city were to be called upon to make a decision with regard to water operations or water issues that might impinge on the company.
Upland has its own water operation, which is a division of the city’s public works department.
The City of Upland Water Department currently obtains its water from a combination of three sources, those being the nine wells the city owns as well as from the San Antonio Water Company and the West End Consolidated Water Company. The city is a 70.66 percent owner of the San Antonio Water company and a 91.18 percent owner of the West End Consolidated Water Company.
The San Antonio Water Company draws water by means of diversions from above-ground streams in San Antonio Canyon and seven wells, utilizing two booster pump stations that send water through 21 miles of pipeline to three reservoirs.
The West End Consolidated Water Company has four active wells and two currently inactive wells.
Though the city has a controlling interest in both the San Antonio and West End water companies, in recent years the city has avoided placing more than a single member of the city council onto the boards of those companies, although it has not hesitated in arranging the appointments of former council members to those panels.
While the lion’s share of the water harvested by the San Antonio Water Company is ultimately used in Upland, a significant portion of that company’s water is utilized in San Antonio Heights, an unincorporated county area north of the city. Indeed, a significant portion of the water the San Antonio Water Company draws comes from San Antonio Heights itself. Though the City of Upland and its residents and San Antonio Heights and its residents have a commonality of interest in the San Antonio Water Company, in particular maintaining its wells, reservoirs and facilities, there are occasional diversions of interest between on one side, San Antonio Heights and its residents, and on the other, Upland and its residents. When such differences manifest, this creates a conflict of loyalties for any member of the city council who is also a San Antonio Heights Water Company board member. In some cases, this can also result in a legal conflict of interest in that the council member may have a monetary interest if his or her vote, either as a council member or as a board member, either clashes with or corresponds to his or her own personal financial interest. In such cases, participating in such a vote could be or indeed is a violation of the law, specifically California Government Code 1090, a felony that could subject the officeholder to both a prison sentence and a ban from holding public elected office in California ever after. To avoid such a violation of the law, the official must abstain from voting, which is also referred to the elected official recusing himself or herself.
Former Upland City Attorney James Markman as recently as 2019 advised the city council it therefore would be best if the council appointed no more than a single currently-serving representative from among its members to either of the two water company boards. The council until recently adhered to that device.
Until Monday night, the only current member of the Upland City Council serving on the San Antonio Water Company board was Councilman Rudy Zuniga, although among that panel’s seven members were former councilmen Tom Thomas and Gino Filippi. Prior to Monday night, none of the five members of the West End Water Company’s board were current members of the city council, though two, Tom Thomas and Sid Robinson, were former city councilmen.
On February 8, when Mayor Bill Velto in his purview as mayor sought to elevate himself and Dan Richards to the San Antonio Water Company Board of Directors, Councilwoman Maust referenced the opinion rendered by former City Attorney Markman. Markman, who departed as city attorney in 2019, was replaced as Upland city attorney by Steven Flower, who was one of Markman’s colleagues with the law firm of Richards Watson & Gershon. As chance would have it, the February 8 meeting was the last forum at which Flower functioned as city attorney. Shortly thereafter, the city terminated the contract for legal services it had with Richards Watson & Gershon, replacing it with the law firm of Best Best & Krieger. Simultaneously, Flower was supplanted as city attorney by Steven Deitsch, a partner with Best Best & Krieger.
On February 8, Councilwoman Maust made a convincing enough assertion of the principles inherent in Markman’s longstanding advice, including quoting him verbatim, to essentially convince two of her colleagues, Councilwoman Janice Elliott and Councilman Carlos Garcia, that unless Zuniga was to step down from the San Antonio Water Company Board, the city should hold off on confirming Velto as a board member to that same panel because there was at least a potential if not a real conflict of interest and/or undesirable complications in appointing more than one of the council’s members to the board. This did not sit well with Velto and Zuniga, both of whom seemed intent on having Zuniga remain as a member of the San Antonio Water Company Board of Directors and having Velto join him on that panel. Despite Velto’s and Zuniga’s sentiments, they were outmuscled politically by their three council colleagues at that point.
This week, on March 8, with Richards Watson & Gershon no longer representing the city and Deitsch functioning in the place of Flower, the council convened. Whereas on February 8, the only appointment discussions agendized for that evening’s meeting pertained to the San Antonio Water Company, this week the council encountered an agenda that contained an item calling for the city council to consider appointments to the San Antonio Water Company as well as to the West End Water Company boards of directors. As per city policy and tradition, the mayor nominates those of his or her choosing and the full council then votes on whether to confirm or not confirm the suggestions.
Skillfully, Velto took up the appointments to the West End Water Company’s board, where four appointments were to be made, first. He then nominated Elliott, Maust, Garcia and former Upland Planning Commissioner Shelly Verrinder to those posts. This move, while flying in the face of the majority council reasoning that had prevailed on February 8 when it had been applied to the San Antonio Water Company Board of Directors and contradicting the counsel of former City Attorney Markman, nevertheless appealed directly to the vanity of the three members of the council who had previously obstructed Velto in his rush to his intended goal. Of note was that no appeal was made to Deitsch to weigh in on the advisability or legality of the move that would transform three-fifths of the West End board into members of the city council. Nor was it mentioned that a fifth member, the holdover from the previous board make-up, was Tom Thomas, a former city councilman. Without any explanation of how the conflict or complication that was belabored during the meeting on February 8 had been resolved, the council voted unanimously to confirm Velto’s nominations. The only direct assertion that allowing more than one city council member onto the water company boards would not create a conflict or complication came from Velto. Deitsch made no effort to contradict that assertion nor expound upon, expand upon or confirm it. This implied that Deistsch, as city attorney, had given the council, either in closed session or individually, some justification for allowing the appointments to proceed.
Many observers of the meeting were mystified to why Deitsch was remaining silent with regard to the issue and on what grounds the city and city council could consider Markman’s counsel to no longer be operative. Nor did Deitsch explain how the city council would be able to bypass a conflict of interest growing out of a circumstance when the council is called upon to vote with regard to anything pertaining to the West End Consolidated Water Company when a quorum of the city council serves on that company’s board, and those three members would have to recuse themselves.
The council had met in closed session prior to the open public session on March 8. The items on the agenda for the closed session did not include a discussion of the legality of appointing a quorum of the council to either of the water company boards. If, in fact, Deitsch had such a discussion with the council in a closed, nonpublic session, that would have run afoul of the Brown Act. The Brown Act is California’s open public meeting law which requires that a public board conduct all business, with certain exceptions, in public, and that those discussions be agendized 72 hours in advance of the meeting. The only exceptions to this restriction, that is, the issues that can be discussed in closed sessions outside the earshot and scrutiny of the public, are negotiations for land purchases, discussing employee discipline, hiring and firing employees, labor negotiations, pending and ongoing litigation, discussing threats to the security of public buildings, to discuss the licensing of individuals with criminal records, considering the investment of pension funds and discussing the governmental entity’s final response to a state audit. Thus, if Deitsch did provide the council with guidance on whether it was legal or advisable for the counsel to appoint a quorum of its members to one of the water company boards, that would have been a violation of the Brown Act.
It was not at all clear why the legality, propriety or advisability of appointing a quorum of the council’s members to the water company board was not explicitly dealt with in open session, and why the city attorney remained silent on the issue. It thus appeared that the city council had arrived at some collective understanding with regard to the issue prior to the meeting, which might suggest its members had engaged in a violation of the Brown Act, and that the city attorney had abetted its members in doing so.
After he had safely established Elliott, Maust, Garcia and Verringer on the West End Water Company Board of Directors, Velto then took up his suggested appointments to the San Antonio Water Company Board of Directors. This time, he again nominated himself, while passing over Dan Richards, instead nominating Katy Parker, who had served a four-year term on the Inland Empire Utilities Agency until she lost her bid for reelection in November. For many observers, Velto’s move came across as a masterful political stroke. Presuming upon the individual personal ambition of Elliott, Maust and Garcia by offering them the political plums of the West End Water Board positions, he inveigled them into accepting those elevations. Thereafter, having compromised the principle the three had espoused the previous month in preventing his appointment to the San Antonio Water Company Board then, he put all three in the position of no longer being able to use that justification to block his own ambition.
Velto on February 8 said that he intended to forego collecting the $250 per meeting stipend provided to San Antonio Water Company board members. That, Velto suggest, would eliminate any financial interest he might have in the San Antonio Water Company, eliminating any conflict of interest that being a member of the city council and the company board might otherwise entail. On March 8, Velto alluded to the need for the other council members to waive the $250 per meeting compensation normally provided to West End Consolidated Water Company’s board members for Elliott, Maust and Garcia to serve on that water company board. None of the three at the meeting explicitly consented to such a waiver, which again seemed to suggest that an agreement to that effect had been reached prior to the meeting, another indication that a Brown Act violation had taken place.
Neither Maust nor Garcia consented to speak with the Sentinel following the appointments.
Councilwoman Elliott told the Sentinel that what had occurred on Monday evening was on the up and up.
Elliott said the potential for a conflict between the city and the West End Consolidate Water District is remote. “There’s a big difference between the West End Water Company and San Antonio Water Company,” she said. “West End is much smaller.”
The City of Upland’s water division is reliant on the West End Consolidated Water Company for about 15 percent of its water. The San Antonio Water Company provides more than half of the city’s water.
Though Elliott said, “The city owns 91 percent of West End,” Elliott said the company practically runs itself. “If I recall, we never voted on anything pertaining to the West End Water Company in the first four years I was on the council. I don’t anticipate anything coming up in the future where the members would have to recuse themselves. If there is a situation that arises in which we have a conflict, then my understanding is we can select members at random to determine who votes and who doesn’t.”
Elliott insisted that there had been no discussion of the nominations that took place Monday night in advance of the meeting, and she said the council did not hear anything from Deitsch with regard to legal issues pertaining to the council members serving on the water company boards.
Without explaining precisely how it had come about, Elliott said, “We did resolve that we can vote as members of the city council and the water boards in most situations as long as you don’t have a conflict of interest. You don’t have a conflict of interest if you give up your stipend.”
Velto’s nomination of her, Maust and Garcia and Verringer to the West End Consolidated Board was a surprise to her, she said.
“The staff report didn’t say who the mayor’s selections were going into the meeting,” she said. “My guess is most of us did not know who he would select. I did not know he would select me. All I had to do was decline my stipend, which I would have done anyway. I didn’t want that to an issue.”
Elliott said she assumed Velto had conferred with Deitsch about the legality of the appointments, but that she did not know for certain.
“The lawyer [Deitsch] made it clear to Bill Velto prior to the last meeting [that the appointments of all five members to the watar boards could be made],” Elliott said. She said that Velto had gone over that issue at the February 8 meeting.
She said she was confident that the council is not afoul of the law.
“None of us want to get into trouble,” she said. Restricting the council from serving on the water boards, she said, “was never an item of discussion. We all can serve.”
She continued, “I was on the West End Consolidated Water Company board in 2017, and I chose not to receive the stipend at that time. I felt the only reason I was on there was by virtue of being voted into office [as a member of the council]. I didn’t want any perception that I was profiteering.”
Pressed on whether waiver of the $250 per person per meeting stipend would entirely do away with any conceivable conflict, Elliott acknowledged that a contradiction of purpose could come about in such a situation. “The majority of the time I would say those two entities [the city and the water company] function independently of one another,” she said. “It does seem, though, that there could be a situation where, when you have a fiduciary responsibility to one entity and you have a fiduciary responsibility to the other and those are in conflict, it seems to me there is a possibility that might present a conflict, even if there is no money involved for you personally.”
