Last month, private equity firm One Rock Capital Partners, LLC announced that it was teaming up with Metropoulos & Co. to purchase the Nestlé owned “Arrowhead 100% Mountain Spring Water” brand along with other Nestlé North American water products. The Arrowhead name is derived from the landmark Arrowhead in the San Bernardino Mountains near the former famed Arrowhead Hotel Report. Despite the name association in the branding of the product, the current water withdrawals take place several miles away in the San Bernardino National Forest. The private equity deal is reportedly in the final stages with closing expected sometime this spring.
The Metropoulos family is a darling among both investors and junk food fanatics for saving Twinkies® from near extinction, as the maker Hostess was on its death bed after a long financial decline and looming bankruptcy in 2012. The following year the Metropouloses along with Apollo Capital Management bought Hostess and then turned Hostess profitable and transformed the private holding into a publicly traded company. The Twinkie ® was saved!
Alongside One Rock Capital Partners LLC, the Metropouloses are now trying to repeat that “twinkie magic” with water as they seek to purchase Nestlé Waters of North America, Inc., which includes the Arrowhead brand.
But how does one acquire a company? In financial lingo, the industry of buying and flipping companies is called private equity. Buying a company has many parallels to buying a house. Companies, like houses, are expensive, so most buyers do not purchase with cash; rather they take on debt and eventually build their ownership, or equity, over time as the debt is paid. On Wall Street, debt is called “leverage” and most private equity deals are “leveraged buyouts.” However, this is where homes and companies differ. Companies make money through their day-to-day operations, and the cash that the company is generating can be used to pay off the leverage, increasing the private equity firm’s ownership of the company. Even with minimal management from the private equity investors, money can be made seemingly out of thin air. However, many private equity firms have an “exit strategy” which is akin to flipping a house. In order to make a killing, they often plan to either resell the company to industry rivals or plan to take the company public. Return on investment for such deals can often be over 30 percent, with a twenty-year average of over 10 percent; that certainly beats keeping money in a savings account.
If money coming from thin air sounds too good to be true, it is; great returns come with great risks. Many bought-out companies flop and the investors backing these private equity deals lose their shirts. Of course, no investor wants to risk losing what he or she is putting into the undertaking, as in the Metropouloses’ case, their Playboy mansion, so what are they to do?
Often a limited liability corporation (LLC) is formed, which in the Golden State like a corporation needs to be registered with the California Secretary of State when doing business within the state. A second option would be one of Wall Street’s latest innovations: the blank check company, known as a “special purpose acquisition company,” known by the acronym SPAC. What SPACs do is “crowdsource” their funding on the stock exchanges by issuing shares that everyday investors can buy. If enough money is raised through people buying shares, the sponsors of the special purpose acquisition company first dole additional shares out to themselves as founders shares for a fraction of the cost and then these shares can be converted into class A stock with an instant 1,000 times gain. Next the SPAC founders go shopping to buy a company. They do not have to specify what company they plan to buy ahead time and minimal disclosures are practically encouraged under the 2012 JOBS Act. From then on, the SPAC behaves like any other private equity firm but with one big difference: the public takes on the primary risk if the deal goes sour, not the original private equity investors themselves.
The invention of the special purpose acquisition company did not go unnoticed by the Metropoulos family. The Hostess buyout used a SPAC, Gores Holding Inc., with a roll-over contribution from Metropouloses. It is likely that this playbook will be used to buy Nestle’s water operations. A new SPAC named Gores Metropoulos II (Nasdaq: GMIIU) was registered with the SEC in January 2021, a month before the Nestle deal was announced. The Metropouloses’ publicist, Hannah Arnold, denied that a SPAC will be used in the Nestle water deal.
“This is not a SPAC,” Arnold said.
Even though One Rock Capital Partners, LLC’s website lists a Los Angeles office, the California Secretary of State’s office indicates that company has not filed paperwork, as required by law, to do business in the state. Security and Exchange Commission (SEC) filings for Gores Metropoulos Inc. list an office in Beverly Hills, but there is no filing for that entity listed with the Secretary of State. It would appear that neither One Rock Capital Partners, LLC nor Gores Metropoulos Inc is legally operating in the State of California.
The water deal was reportedly valued at $4.3 billion. The Sentinel contacted One Rock to clarify if this price was the purchase price, market capitalization or equity valuation, but no clarification was made. People familiar with private equity deals say the $4.3 billion is not the price being paid. If investors blindly hand over their money for Metropouloses to go shopping, the investors may not know what they are walking into.
Over the past five years, the Arrowhead water withdrawals in the San Bernardino National Forest have been under a great deal of scrutiny. These withdrawals occur at the Strawberry Creek headwaters around 5,000 feet elevation using a series of mountainside horizontal borehole wells and tunnels that annually drain multi-millions of gallons of forest groundwater through a two-mile pipeline that terminates at a holding area along Old Waterman Canyon Road. The water is then picked-up by large tanker trucks and hauled to a bottling plant. The groundwater withdrawals are reported to the San Bernardino Municipal Valley Water, which at present is taking steps toward initiating litigation against Nestlé Waters of North America over those withdrawals. On March 2, the San Bernardino Municipal Valley Water District Board of Directors met in closed session to discuss pending litigation against Nestlé Waters of North America, Inc. Upon the board reconvening, it was announced that the board gave direction to legal counsel, but no further information is available.
One reason potential investors in the Gores Metropolous II special purpose acquisition company may be well-advised to exercise caution is that there are questions as to whether Nestlé’ has a legitimate claim to and any future guaranteed access to the water that is the centerpiece of the Arrowhead Spring Water Bottling Enterprise.
The state water board has an ongoing investigation into both Nestlé’s Arrowhead operation and water rights as the California Water Board has ultimate determinative authority over water right issues throughout the Golden State, including on federal lands therein.
In 2017, the water board’s initial investigation limited Nestlé’s temporarily authorized water withdrawals in the San Bernardino Mountains to 26 acre-feet a year.
An acre foot equals 325,851.4 gallons or 43,560 cubic feet, the amount of water that would cover one acre, 43,560 square feet, to the depth of one foot.
The 26 acre-feet allotment is about 20 percent of the 192 acre-feet (62.56 million gallons) Nestlé was previously siphoning from Strawberry Canyon annually. Records indicate that Nestlé has not complied with the reduced authorized water orders, and that the company took 144 acre-feet in 2017, 141 acre-feet in 2018 and 210 acre-feet in 2019, with no indication of compliance in 2020 or 2021.
This has left Nestlé’s Arrowhead Spring Water bottling division potentially vulnerable to enforcement action and hefty fines. Moreover, Nestlé’s action is likely to prompt the state water board to make an exhaustive review of the water rights pertaining to the Arrowhead Spring Water operation that grew out of that company’s corporate predecessor’s claims to the water drawn at the 5,000 foot elevation in Strawberry Canyon. The Sentinel’s review of the public record indicates those rights were erroneously conflated with a spring much lower down the mountain at the 2,000 foot elevation proximate to the historic Arrowhead Springs Hotel. It thus would appear that Nestlé does not, in fact, have a valid claim to the water it is attempting to market to the Metropolous Family.
In a recent correspondence obtained by the Sentinel, state water board officials indicated that the new owners would need to comply with California laws and regulations and be the respondent to the water rights being investigated.
The US Forest Service permit for the Arrowhead pipeline expires in August 2021. According to the permit terms, the permit is non-transferable; the new owner would need to reapply for the permit with conditions attached. If the water rights case rules against Nestlé and a determination that environmental damage has been done to Strawberry Canyon and/or forest property dependent upon the aquifer Strawberry Creek supplies, specific liability on Nestlé’s part could follow, including accountability for making false claims to the federal government to obtain a permit. This legal trouble is only a fraction of the liabilities mounting for Nestlé Waters North American water bottling operations in the U.S. and Canada.
Nestlé boasts on the One Rock website that it “conserves 18,000 acres of natural watershed area,” but Nestlé does not own the San Bernardino National Forest, nor does it have, at present, any established water rights in the San Bernardino Mountains. Drafting billions of gallons of spring water or groundwater out of drought-stricken California clashes with the state government’s intended goal of conservation. Much of Nestlé’s water appears to be the product of water contracts like the contract in Deer Canyon with Cucamonga Water District. Others are of questionable spring or groundwater withdrawals including ones in Running Springs and Southern Pacific Springs at the edge of the San Bernardino National Forest.
Across the country there is a great deal of litigation over Nestlé’s water takes including a class action lawsuit involving Poland Springs in Maine. Other permits are not transferable or under litigation. There is curiosity in some circles as to why the Metropoulos Family is pursuing Nestlé’s troubled waters, beset with so much pending liability and litigation across North America, including circumstances like those in the San Bernardino Mountains, where the potential exists that at some point, perhaps sooner rather than later, it will be determined that the owner of the Arrowhead brand has no rights to the water it claims it owns. Unknown is whether the Metropoulous Family knows something the rest of the public does not. Also unknown is whether Nestlé’s corporate officers know something the Metropoulos Family does not.
Perhaps the private equity deal now being gestated between One Rock Capital Partners, LLC and the Metropoulos partnership and Nestlé represents a Wall Street play to start commoditizing water in an unregulated framework. If so, this marks a turn in the way the world works, one in which stock shares of water are to be bought and sold in the same way shares of Apple or Johnson & Johnson or the Ford Motor company are. This runs counter to the laws of nature and biology. Humans may crave Twinkies from time to time, but they need water to live. Wildlife needs water, not Twinkies. When forests burn, firefighter rely on water, not Twinkies.

In a determination cheered by Victorville City Councilwoman Blanca Gomez’s political rivals and a sizable contingent of the employees at Victorville City Hall, Administrative Law Judge Stephen Tyler upheld the gist of a complaint filed by Victorville City Manager Keith Metzler in August that alleged Gomez engaged in unemployment fraud when she applied for unemployment benefits last May.
According to the city, it was required by the California Employment Development Department to put up $1,398 toward $4,952 in benefits Gomez received as a consequence of that filing.
According to the city, Gomez, who was first elected to the city council in November 2016 and was reelected in November 2020, is not now and never was a city employee.
On May 17, 2020, Gomez made an unemployment claim using the name “B Gomez.” Subsequently, she confirmed that she had been without work from May 17 until June 27.
It is unclear whether Gomez’s May 17 claim was made as the consequence of a lay off from employment she had with an entity other than the city, and whether that claim was precipitated by her employer having reduced its payroll in the immediate aftermath of the contraction in the economy following the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. Of the benefits provided to her, 28.23101 percent of what Gomez received was based upon income calculated to have come from the city. The remaining 71.7689 percent in benefits that were provided to her was calculated upon income she received elsewhere.
Within a week of Gomez’s filing of the claim, the state Employment Development Department contacted the city, at which point the city’s human resources division responded to Sacramento, informing the state that Gomez was an elected official rather than a municipal employee. Nevertheless, the Employment Development Department made a determination that Gomez was eligible to receive $233 per week. Information received but not confirmed by the Sentinel was that Gomez also received a weekly $600 per week federal unemployment benefit that lasted until July.
By August, city officials inquired of Gomez directly to ascertain if she had in fact made the application for the unemployment benefits. Reportedly, the city wanted to determine whether the application might have been made by some other individual engaged in identity theft who was using Gomez’s name or social security number. When she did not respond, Metzler sent a letter to state officials, outlining the city’s belief that Gomez had fraudulently made the application.
There were two elements to the accusation leveled at Gomez. One is that she is not and was never employed by the city. The second is that the city never ceased the payments it did make to Gomez.
Gomez received from the City of Victorville in 2019, according to Transparent California, total compensation of $23,314.00, consisting of regular pay of $11,314.00 and further pay of $1,800 for total pay of $13,114 plus benefits equal to $10,200. According to the city, the money and benefits provided to Gomez consist of a monthly stipend of $943 and benefits she is eligible to receive as an elected official plus a per-meeting augmentation she is provided for serving on adjunct committees or joint powers boards involving Victorville and other governmental entities.
Victorville’s counterclaim against Gomez went to the Unemployment Appeals Commission, which held hearings related to it in December 2020 and February 2021. Judge Tyler made a decision on March 4, 2021.
In his ruling, Judge Tyler held, “the claimant has received a stipend of $943 per month plus a slush fund of $850 per month. The claimant’s stipend was paid without the withholding of unemployment tax or disability tax. California Unemployment Insurance Code Section 1279(2)(c) states that wages do not include any payments, regardless of their designation, made by a city of this state to an elected official as an incident to public office. As a consequence, the claimant is ineligible for unemployment insurance benefits based on the fact that she is an elected official.”
According to Judge Tyler, “Additionally, there has been no break in the claimant’s payments and her service since 2016. The claimant’s application indicated that she has ceased working, which is not the case. Benefits were received as a result of this misrepresentation.”
Tyler added, “The department may consider investigating the claim of the claimant as being fraudulent as a result of her representation that she has ceased to receive remuneration.”
From shortly after the outset of her time in office, Gomez has been on the outs with most of her council colleagues, including former city councilmen Eric Negrete and Jim Kennedy, Former Mayor Gloria Garcia and current Mayor Debra Jones.
The open contempt the city has toward Gomez was evinced in a posting made to the city’s website, which in bold letters gloated, “Judge Rules Council Member Blanca Gomez May Be Investigated for Unemployment Fraud. Gomez falsely claimed a break in service and pay in order to receive unemployment benefits while continuing to receive monthly stipend from City.”

The name Mike Harris might or might not ring a bell with most people in Fontana or its surrounding areas. To at least some of those involved in the politics of the region, Harris is known as a 13-year essential medical worker – a nurse – ex-ironworker and local Fontana resident fighting for the individual’s right to cultivate cannabis legally and constitutionally as per 2016’s Proposition 64.
After more than a century of prohibition in which those in California and elsewhere ran the risk of a prison sentence for possessing, smoking or trafficking in marijuana, Proposition 64, known as the Adult Use of Marijuana Act, was passed with 57 percent approval of California’s voters on November 8, 2016. In addition, 53.6 percent of the voters in Fontana and 52.5 percent of the voters in San Bernardino County cast ballots in favor of Proposition 64.
Proposition 64 allowed those in California who are 21 years of age or older to use marijuana for its intoxicative effect, simultaneously legalizing its possession, cultivation, and sale within certain strictures. It called for the state to regulate commercial activities related to its sale for recreational use, including the collection of a 15 percent excise tax and an additional $9.25 per ounce of flower or $2.75 per ounce of leaf. Proposition 64 required that businesses selling marijuana obtain a license from the state-level Bureau of Marijuana Control, and left up to local governments the option of requiring permits for businesses to allow on-site consumption. The proposition simultaneously prohibited shops selling marijuana from engaging in the sale or consumption of alcohol or tobacco. Under the proposition, local governments retained the option to completely ban marijuana-related businesses.
Under Proposition 64, adults 21 and older can, both at home and in public, possess up to 28.5 grams of cannabis or up to eight grams of hashish. Like everything in life there are certain restrictions. Smoking or eating cannabis in public, or where tobacco is banned, is prohibited. It cannot be smoked within 1,000 feet of schools, day care centers and other places where children gather. One cannot consume the substance while driving or boating, and open marijuana containers cannot be carried inside vehicles. Adults under 21 caught with more than one ounce – 28.5 grams – can be fined up to $500, and receive a six-month jail sentence.
Implements to imbibe marijuana – pipes, accessories and other paraphernalia – are legal and no longer considered contraband in California. Adults can freely hand the substance around to one another, as long as they are not selling it. Selling it requires a license. The cultivation provision of the law allowed adults 21 and older to grow up to six cannabis plants on their own premises as long as they own the property or have the property owner’s permission, and it is kept out of immediate public view. Cities have the option of banning personal outdoor cultivation but cannot stop legal age adults from growing up to half a dozen plants at any given time indoors. If more than an ounce is grown, it is legal for the cultivator to keep it on his or her property.
Fontana officials, unaccepting of the passage of Proposition 64, reacted in January 2017 by manipulating the language in the proposition related to banning outdoor gardens and being able to “reasonably regulate” indoor cultivation, undertook to test the limit of what is “reasonable” with the passage of Ordinance No. 1758. The ordinance drafted by city staff, and approved by the city council led by Acquanetta Warren essentially undermined the California Legislature and Proposition 64 within the Fontana City limits by requiring Fontana residents seeking to grow marijuana inside their own home to obtain a $411 permit from the city, pay for background checks, bring any arrearages on overdue city fees to a close, get not just permission from their landlords if they were renters but a notarized certificate of clearance from the property owner, and agree to allow city officials to inspect their homes at any time of the city’s choosing, 24 hours a day.
At that point, Mike Harris injected himself into the situation.
Previously, in early 2016, Harris told the Sentinel that it appeared as if Proposition 64 was going to make it onto the ballot, and that polling looked positive. Around the same time, the California League of Cities declared that cities which did not preemptively pass a responding ordinance would be defaulted into the state guidelines with regard to marijuana. In response, the Fontana Planning Commission put forth an ordinance laying out restrictions that would govern indoor cultivation. Harris spoke at the commission meeting against their recommendations. The city council passed the ordinance later that year after the election.
Shortly after Proposition 64 passed, Mayor Warren publicly remarked that “it disgusts me that a majority voted for it.”
Over the 2016 Christmas Holiday Harris learned from Lieutenant Commander Diane Wattles Goldstein, who was the current head of the Law Enforcement Action Partnership that the Drug Policy Alliance had plans to fight cities that were attempt to preempt the provisions of Proposition 64, and that NORML, the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws, was geared up to assist in this endeavor.
Harris introduced himself to people who had connections to the Drug Policy Alliance. After the passage of Ordinance No. 1758, he offered himself as a plaintiff in a suit challenging it. Drug Policy Alliance board members, noting that Fontana’s ordinance was as restrictive of a measure as they had yet seen, started putting together a legal team. Harris carried the banner, becoming the poster boy for marijuana use rights in Fontana. The American Civil Liberties Union jumped on board.
On June 4, 2017, Harris filed his case. He was represented by Geoffrey Yost, Anthony Beasley and Mark Berghausen of the law firm O’Melvany & Myers as well as Joy Haviland, Thesia Naido and Jolene Forman with the Drug Policy Alliance, as well as Michael Risher and William Freeman of the American Civil Liberties Union.
Through 2017 and into late 2018, court briefs were filed. In November 2018, Judge David Cohn heard the matter. He tentatively ruled in favor of Harris on just about everything, holding forth at some length about how the city went too far. Judge Cohn said that if city officials wanted to inspect the cultivation activity at Harris’s home, they would need to first obtain a warrant on the basis of probable cause to believe they would uncover evidence of a crime ahead of time. This corresponded in the main with Harris’s fundamental argument.
Harris said he is of the mind that, “Just because a private citizen engages in a legal activity, it does not mean he has to surrender his legal rights to do it.” Fontana wanted to treat folks as if they were on parole, with unchecked police power, he said.
In December 2018, the court published its finalized decision in the matter of Harris v. Fontana. Judge Cohn found that “the restrictions on who may cultivate cannabis for personal use in Fontana are arbitrary and capricious because they disallow certain persons from doing what state law specifically allows them to do. The only restriction under the Adult Use of Marijuana Act is that a person must be at least 21 years old.”
Fontana’s ordinance excludes (1) certain felons, (2) anyone with pending code enforcement action, such as violation of a property set back requirement, (3) anyone who owes money to Fontana, such as an unpaid parking ticket, and (4) anyone who cannot obtain notarized permission of a landlord. Judge Cohn stated that these are not reasonable restrictions, because they conflict with the broad permission granted by the Adult Use of Marijuana Act.
Judge Cohn found that the ordinance also imposed other unreasonable conditions, such as restricting aspects of the physical residence where the plants may be grown to an extent that is unrelated or only tangentially related to the small amount of cannabis cultivation authorized under the Adult Use of Marijuana Act. Those restrictions in the ordinance included “Residence plumbing, electrical, and other utilities must be properly permitted (§30-7 (b).060 (B)(2). The residence must not include more than one cultivation area (§ 30-7(b).060 (b) (2). The cultivation area must be used exclusively for the marijuana, and may not be shared with any space used for sleeping, cooking, eating, bathing, or other residential activities. (§30-(b).060 (c) (1) (b). The area of cultivation must be accessible by only one lockable door. (§30-7 (B).060 (C) (2) (a). Access to the area must be restricted only to a permit holder. (§30-7 (B).060 (C) (2) (b).”
Judge Cohn prohibited Fontana from enacting Fontana Ordinance 1758 by disallowing the addition of section 30-7 b to the Fontana Municipal Code.
Harris was awarded $106,916 in legal costs.
In March, 2019, the city passed another restrictive ordinance. Harris, in the spirit of compromise, did not contest it. Time passed. After 2019 became 2020, Harris revisited the City of Fontana website and saw that the old ordinance was yet up, without the revisions specified by the court on the matter.
Harris called the city and asked for the new recreational indoor marijuana permit – “RIMP” – application, as the old one was still posted by the city. The city emailed it to Harris and he discovered the only change to it was one that made it more restrictive. The new version added wording not previously contained in the March 2019 ordinance. The city was constantly layering into its its restrictions new and different angles, and it was less than clear whether those were ones considered and approved during an open session of the city council in which the rules were ratified by a vote or whether the council had simply given staff silent permission to impose rules at its own discretion. What Harris learned was that the city was requiring home inspections upon renewals. The city was once again in violation of the U.S. Constitution and California Constitution, and violating the terms of Judge Cohn’s ruling.
Harris contacted O’Melveny & Myers. In July 2019, the firm sent the city a demand letter to comply with the court’s ruling. Fontana did not respond, but instead removed the old stricken ordinance from its website and put up the new one.
A few weeks later three Fontana police officers knocked on Harris’s door with a report of a car parked in front of his house, which was not his. Harris found this odd because he was the only one who had parked in that spot for about 30 years. The officer insisted there was a report and asked Harris if he had any African American neighbors. This was jarring, raising Harris’s suspicion that the officers were searching for a pretext to enter his home.
On December 21, 2020, at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, another Fontana police officer, without a mask, knocked on Harris’s door. The officer said he was there to carry out a welfare check on one of Harris’s in-laws who had not lived there for over a year. Harris answered the officer’s questions but was adamant the person sought did not live there. The officer left and spoke with an officer in another unit, which was parked side-by-side with the vehicle of the officer who had come to Harris’s door. A third officer in a third patrol unit rolled up, and it appeared as if the three were on the brink of seeking to enforce the home inspection clause by forcing their way into Harris’s home, but the three departed afterward, with no further action.
The city clerk’s office responded to research inquiries seeking the city’s current permitting process for personal, non-commercial marijuana cultivation by saying that the city was going to remove the inspection clause pursuant to pending action by the planning commission, which was in the process of formulating new regulations, and then the council would vote on it in January and February of 2021. Harris and his legal team endeavored to get on the record the July 2019 go-round involving the demand letter, and the city’s effort to bypass Judge Cohn’s ruling with the creation of what the city calls “form based codes,” two weeks after the city council passed the last RIMP, the recreational indoor marijuana permit process.
Harris told the Sentinel that it appears the city is seeking to effectively remain out of compliance with the law by burying the basis for its unconstitutional acts in a 600-page document it then uses as its authority to carry out the warrantless searches. He said he believed the city is in contempt of court by violating Judge Cohn’s ruling.
The manner in which Fontana City Attorney Ruben Duran is enabling the city council in this action is curious. Duran’s most immediate previous assignment as a city attorney was in 2018 when he was serving as city attorney in Adelanto, at which time a three-member majority of the Adelanto City Council was intent on facilitating the industrial production of cannabis-based products, the large-scale cultivation of marijuana and the commercial sale of the substance and its derivatives. Functioning in the Adelanto context, Duran sought to enable the council majority’s pro-cannabis agenda, in certain cases stretching the law unto breaking to do so. Functioning in Fontana, Duran has now moved in a diametrically opposite direction, seeking to enable the Fontana City Council in its effort to restrict the legal availability of marijuana, likewise skirting the law.
Meanwhile, the Fontana City Council, still abiding by the pre-2016 societal ethos before the passage of the Adult Use of Marijuana Act, is intent to use or misuse its civil authority, calculating that in most cases, common citizens will not go to the trouble or expense of challenging its action. That calculation appears to allow for the existence of such residents as Harris, ones who are willing to challenge the city’s policy, and in such cases when a legal challenge is made, the city appears willing to bear the cost that entails, including paying its own attorney, Duran and his law firm, Best Best & Krieger, as well as paying the legal fees of those such as Harris willing to make that challenge, using taxpayer funds to do so. Such is the cost, according to Mayor Warren, of combating the ill social effect brought on by the “disgusting” consensus of state, county and Fontana voters in passing Proposition 64.

Project Phoenix, the energetic downtown redevelopment effort that the City of Twentynine Palms proposed over a decade ago is to begin in earnest this month.
At its February 23 meeting, the Twentynine Palms City Council voted 4-to-0, with Mayor Dan Mintz absent, to give final approval to 17 contracts associated with the project.
After allotting $8,647,540 toward the work in the first phase of the project, the city solicited bids and was overwhelmed with 90 responses. This allowed the city to drive the cost of that work down to $7,581,439. In the action taken at the meeting, the council included a $657,000 contingency allocation to cover any possible cost overruns or change orders
Project Phoenix was conceived as an undertaking by the Twentynine Palms Redevelopment Agency aimed at constructing a community center, a 250-seat theater, classrooms, a civic plaza, a park, a walkway, residential units, a wastewater treatment plant, and improvements to the downtown fire station. The project was put in jeopardy in 2011, however, when the legislature passed AB X1 26 and AB X1 27, which shuttered more than 400 municipal and county redevelopment agencies up and down the state.
Twentynine Palms intrepidly pushed ahead with the project, based upon Twentynine Palms City Attorney A. Patrick Muñoz’s assertion that the project had been initiated prior to AB XI 26 and AB XI 27 going into effect, and that the $12 million the redevelopment agency bonded for in 2011 had to be utilized only for the purpose that bondholders were told the money would be applied toward.
The California Department of Finance fought the city with regard to its contention, leading to the city taking legal action in Sacramento Superior Court, where Judge Michael P. Kenny ultimately ruled against the Department of Finance in April 2014 and granted the petition for a writ of mandate on behalf for the City of Twentynine Palms, allowing the city to utilize the bond money for the fulfillment of Project Phoenix. After appealing Judge Kenny’s ruling and losing, the Department of Finance on May 14, 2015 capitulated, stating in a letter it would no longer oppose Twentynine Palms’ last remaining redevelopment agency project.
The city is using the firm of Tilden-Coil to serve as the project manager.
The project has been adjusted from what it was originally conceived as. The work to begin this month relates to the Community Center and the Joshua Tree National Park Visitor Center elements of the current plan.
Eventually, the $12 million in tax allocation bonds that were issued for the project will be augmented with another $9 million in funding, and the $21 million project, centering on the property at Twentynine Palms Highway and Yucca Avenue, will establish a “pocket park,” from which a paseo, or walkway, will wend to what is to become the Twentynine Palms Community Center, a cultural center and the new Joshua Tree National Park Visitor Center. Other elements of the project include the undergrounding of utility lines, specific infrastructure and utility improvements, and the construction of sewage lines which are to lead from downtown businesses to a package treatment plant.

A determination of whether Bridge Development Partners’ effort to construct on the west side of Upland a 201,096-square foot distribution center for on-line retail behemoth Amazon will be able to proceed has been postponed, at least for another six weeks.
A court hearing on a lawsuit challenging the City of Upland’s approval of the project last year that was set for Friday, March 12, was put off until April 23, according to Shirley Van Hook-Korn, the court’s communication officer. At that hearing, San Bernardino County Superior Court Judge David S. Cohn was to hear oral arguments as to whether or not the environmental certification for the project, made by the city council last year was adequate and in compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act.
After first being previewed to the community in June 2019 as three buildings comprising 977,000 square feet, what was dubbed the Bridge Point Project was downscaled from what was originally proposed to a single 201,096-square foot facility involving 25 dock high loading bays for 18-wheeler trucks, another 32 bays for delivery vans and trucks, along with 1,438 parking spaces around the building. The facility was slated for a 50-acre site in Upland north of Foothill Boulevard slightly east of Central Avenue and south of Cable Airport.
Controversy dogged the project early on. The city allowed the project to proceed toward approval without being subject to a comprehensive environmental impact report, which many Upland residents believe should be carried out for a project of such size, intensity and complexity. Rather, the city elected to use a mitigated negative declaration to complete the environmental review process.
An environmental impact report is an involved study of the project site, the project proposal, the potential and actual impacts the project will have on the site and surrounding area in terms of all conceivable issues, including land use, water use, air quality, potential contamination, noise, traffic, and biological and cultural resources. It specifies in detail what measures can, will and must be carried out to offset those impacts. A mitigated negative declaration is a far less exacting size-up of the impacts of a project, by which the panel entrusted with the city’s ultimate land use authority, in this case the city council, issues a declaration that all adverse environmental impacts from the project will be mitigated, or offset, by the conditions of approval of the project imposed upon the developer.
A cross section of the city’s residents disputed the city council’s declaration that all impacts from the project had been adequately mitigated, based both on the magnitude of the project and the consideration that the city council lacked land use and environmental expertise. There were questions as well as to whether the zoning at the project site would allow a distribution facility to be established there. Moreover, many people found it highly disturbing that Bridge Development Partners consistently refused to officially acknowledge that Amazon was to be the eventual tenant at the warehouse for the initial 50-year life of the project. Bridge/Amazon has an option to renew the lease on the property for another 50-year period, potentially making the project an issue in the city for the next century. There was and remains a suspicion that the project will be subject to substantial expansion, without being subject to any further environmental analysis, perhaps to as large as the 977,000 square feet originally proposed, since 1,438 parking spaces is far in excess of what would normally be needed for a 201,096-square foot warehouse. Another major concern was that the project proposal offered no provision for offsetting the sales tax revenue loss that would come about as a consequence of Amazon’s on-line operational model or remunerating the city for infrastructure damage that would inevitably occur over a 50-year or potentially a 100-year period if the project were to proceed.
On February 12, 2020, the Upland Planning Commission, with Commissioner Alexander Novokov absent, considered the project and voted 3-to-2, with commissioners Gary Schwary, Linden Brouse and Yvette Walker prevailing, to recommend that the city council not approve project. After two weeks during which the commission members were intensely lobbied, the commission on February 26 met once more to reconsider the project despite its previous rejection, this time with Novokov present. Even though Novokov cast a vote against recommending approval of the project, two of the commissioners who had voted against the project previously – Gary Schwary and then-Commissioner Linden Brouse – switched their votes, such that in a move unprecedented in Upland’s history, the planning commission reversed itself, voting 4-to-2 to recommend that the city council approve the project.
On April 1, 2020, the Upland City Council by a 4-1 vote approved the project, in doing so accepting a $17 million development agreement offered by Bridge Development Partners. That approval included the council’s mitigated negative declaration, which is a far less exacting review of environmental considerations than an in-depth environmental impact report. Thereafter, a contingent of Upland citizens banded together as a group taking on the name Upland Community First. The group’s members retained attorney Cory Briggs, who then filed a petition for a writ of mandate, seeking from the court an order that the city revisit the environmental review process for the project, make a determination that the mitigated negative declaration was inadequate and require that a full-blown environmental impact report for the project be carried out before the project is allowed to proceed.
As a consequence of the Upland Community First legal filing, any action toward the completion of the project, including site grading has been suspended. In the meantime, Bridge Development Partners has seemingly recruited Bill Velto, who voted last April as a member of the city council to approve the project and who in November was elected Upland mayor, to serve as its agent in approaching members of Upland Community First in an effort to get that group to end its challenge of the project approval. To that end, Velto has indicated via text messages that Bridge Development Partners has expressed a willingness to more than double the $17 million in project impact offsets the company had agreed to pay in the development agreement for the project approved last April to $40 million. That offer was conditional upon Upland Community First dropping its demand for a comprehensive environmental impact report and accepting an environmental review that would allow the project to proceed, without any of the changes that would typically be required by an environmental impact report. Upland Community First spurned those offers, and remains intent on forcing the issue through the writ of mandate proceeding, remaining optimistic that the law favors it in its effort to require that an environmental impact report be done. Upland Community First’s members believe a properly done environmental impact report will result in the imposition of conditions on the project that will truly mitigate the untoward elements of the project which will have a deleterious impact Upland residents’ quality of life and health and safety for at least 50 years and perhaps a century if Amazon renews the lease on Bridge Development Partners’ warehouse.
Members of Upland Community First told the Sentinel that their legal team was fully prepared to go into court to make a case that the full-blown environmental impact report needed to be carried out. On Tuesday, March 9, shortly after Van Hook-Korn informed the Sentinel that today’s hearing was to be postponed, a phone call to Upland Community First spokeswoman Lois Sicking Dieter was made. At that point, Sicking Dieter had yet to be informed of the continuation. After verifying that the court had rescheduled the hearing for April 23, she said that the delay had come not at the request of Upland First, but rather as a consequence of either Judge Cohn’s determination that the hearing needed to be postponed or a request by the city. Efforts to obtain from the city, which has recently changed its legal representation from the law firm of Richards Watson & Gershon to the law firm of Best Best & Krieger, whether it had made the continuance request and, if so, the grounds for seeking the continuance elicited no response.

THE PETITION FOR PROBATE requests that MARTHA A. CLARKSON be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent.

NOTICE OF PETITION TO ADMINISTER ESTATE OF HELEN JACKSON-THOMAS aka HELEN JACKSON, CASE NO. PROPS 2100234
To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, and contingent creditors of HELEN JACKSON-THOMAS aka HELEN JACKSON, and persons who may be otherwise interested in the will or estate, or both: A petition has been filed by SCHYIEMA R. YOUNG in the Superior Court of California, County of SAN BERNARDINO, requesting that SCHYIEMA R. YOUNG be appointed administrator to administer the estate of ALETHA JOY LORBER.
The petition requests that the decedent’s will 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.
The petition is set for hearing in Dept. No. S36P at SUPERIOR COURT OF CALIFORNIA, COUNTY OF SAN BERNARDINO SAN BERNARDINO DISTRICT – PROBATE DIVISION 247 W. 3rd STREET SAN BERNARDINO, CA 92415-0212 on
April 13, 2021 at 09:00 AM
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 deceased, 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 subdivision (b) of Section 58 of the California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery of the notice to you under Section 9052 of the California Probate Code.
YOU MAY EXAMINE the file kept by the court. If you are interested in the estate, you may request special notice of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Section 1250 of the California Probate Code.

Sentinel 03-05-21

Victorville City Councilwoman Rita Ramirez, the Democratic political figure who has garnered solid success as the holder of nonpartisan elected offices in San Bernardino County over the last two decades and has been among the forefront of Democrats in their effort to break the GOP’s hold on county partisan offices, was ignominiously removed from the city council this week on a 3-to-2 vote of her council colleagues.
The ostensible reasons cited for bouncing Ramirez from the council were recent unexcused absences from city council meetings as well as an allegation that she was not actually residing in Victorville.
The move, however, was rich with political and racial overtones, and complicated by the consideration that neither the mayor nor the city attorney afforded Ramirez, during the course of the March 2 meeting, an opportunity to marshal evidence of her residence in the city nor acknowledged that the city had issued a notice of cancellation of the council’s convocation on February 16, the final meeting Ramirez was alleged to have missed, and that City Clerk Charlene Robinson indicated that Ramirez was in attendance at the February 16 meeting. At two separate points during the March 2 meeting when Ramirez’s colleagues either attempted to elicit from Ramirez documentation or evidence to refute the charges of non-residency that had been lodged against her or referenced the potential existence of such materials, the mayor pointedly foreclosed the inquiry and shut off the microphone of the council member who cited the documentation.
Throughout the meeting, which was conducted remotely and electronically as a video teleconference, Ramirez was not provided with a video link-up as were the mayor and the three other council members, along with the city manager, the city clerk, the city attorney, 11 other staff members and the police chief, who was acting as the virtual meeting’s sergeant-at-arms.
Ramirez’s removal now sets the stage for the Republican Party to reclaim primacy on the city council, just three months after, for the first time in Victorville’s 59-year history, its city council was composed of a Democratic majority. A key vote in ousting Ramirez came from one of the council’s Democratic members, an African American, who last month resigned from the San Bernardino County Democratic Central Committee because she believes the committee’s Hispanic members have, in her words, engaged in racist acts which disenfranchised blacks politically. Ramirez was an active and influential member of the San Bernardino County Democratic Central Committee.
Councilwoman Liz Becerra, the primary advocate for Ramirez’s removal, who asked that City Attorney Andreas De Bortnowsky investigate Ramirez’s residency at the February 16 meeting, presented a prima facie case indicating that Ramirez has not for some time physically resided in Victorville.
“Since being elected and prior to being elected, I’ve been concerned about being represented by a council member who does not live in the city,” Becerra said. “I’ve done my own research, but I’ve also asked the city attorney.”
de Bortnowsky indicated that a case to remove Ramirez from office would come down to the issues of “residency in the city and extended absences.” He said the case against Ramirez was more clearly cut with regard to the issue of non-residency than unexcused absences.
“Basically, with respect to the residency requirement, there seems to be some evidence – in fact, yes her residency has moved out of the City of Victorville,” de Bortnowsky said. “With respect to absences of meeting, that’s a little bit more complicated. The complicated issue on that is whether or not there is absence without permission, and so that becomes an issue of fact.”
The entire circumstance is nuanced by the consideration that Ramirez had three amputations beginning in January 2020, first her middle toe, then her left foot and then her lower leg, followed by the spread of the coronavirus in the medical facilities in which she was recovering, then further complications late last year during which amputation of her right foot seemed imminent but was evaded by medical treatment that required another extended hospitalization. Throughout that ordeal and her multiple hospital and recovery facility stays, her sons repeatedly brought her to a family home she had built with her former husband in Twentynine Palms 47 years ago, where her grown children could better care for her and monitor her progress. Initially, at least, the city had accommodated Ramirez by installing communications equipment at the Twentynine Palms residence that allowed her to participate in the city council meetings remotely.
Citizens must go through a relatively elaborate process to remove a council member from office, de Bortnowsky said, one which provides the official being removed a formalized set of protections, including a court trial. In its official capacity, a city council need not adhere to that formalized process, but can proceed on its own authority to remove a council member, he said.
“If a private person wants to challenge the ability of a city council person to hold office,” de Bortnowsky said, the person doing the challenging goes to the California Attorney General’s office for a quo warranto finding, one that determines if the circumstances are such “to see if they have grounds” to remove the elected official from office. If the grounds exist, then the individual making the challenge can go to court to get a verdict that the official be removed from office, he said.
“With respect to city council’s [action to remove a council colleague] they don’t necessarily have to follow that same quo warranto proceeding. They actually can go right to a trial if they determine that’s appropriate,” de Bortnowsky said. Moreover, a city council can, if it chooses, de Bortnowsky said, simply apply its own authority to make the removal, which can be contested after the fact by the removed official in an appeal to the California Attorney General’s Office.
de Bortnowsky told the council it could “make a finding and determination based on statutory proceedings that the position is in fact vacated and proceed [with the removal from office], essentially then allowing the person that vacated the position to then seek a quo warranto action.”
Councilwoman Blanca Gomez asked about the city conducting a trial, her question seemingly aimed at what allowance Ramirez would be provided in presenting evidence to controvert the allegation that she was not a city resident.
de Bortnowsky told the council, “In order to essentially challenge a person’s right to hold office you have the ability to go into a Superior Court to initiate a trial.” A private individual without the authority of the government, de Bortnowsky said, “must first approach the attorney general’s office for the quo warranto proceeding. The city can go directly to make a determination in accordance and as a matter of law based on those statutes that the position is vacant, if the facts support a finding that there is no residency or that there has been extended absences.”
Gomez asked de Bortnowsky how his conclusion that Ramirez was not living in Victorville was reached. He said he “checked with the city clerk as to the extended absences. With respect to the residency requirements, I have been aware of the agenda postings where the address of Council Member Ramirez has been posted as a Twentynine Palms address. So I did a little bit of investigation myself and confirmed that in fact seems to be the address she has been attending the meetings from for almost the last year.”
Gomez asked why the Twentynine Palms home was the only property connected to Ramirez referenced in his report, seeking to explore if de Bortnowsky had sought any evidence to suggest Ramirez was living in Victorville. Mayor Debra Jones abridged Gomez’s input at that point, and foreclosed de Bortnowsky from explaining what effort he made to find support of the proposition that Ramirez was living in Victorville.
In her allotted time to address the subject, Ramirez said, “I have answered all the questions pertaining to my election. As to the question of my absence and the question of my legal residence,” she said her official domicile could be established as being in Victorville, “which can be checked with the registrar of voters.”
Then, apparently based upon de Bortnowsky’s assertion that he had carried out an investigation into her residency, she said, “The question that I have is [why is it that] only Liz Becerra is listed on the questionnaires or information pertaining to the absence and to the ownership of my home?”
The direction of Ramirez’s question, which suggested that the effort to unseat her was more broadly based than on Becerra’s inquiry, prompted a reaction from Jones which, observers of the meeting noted, betrayed that Jones was not merely presiding over a fact-finding proceeding, but herself angling to see Ramirez removed from the council.
She at that point asked de Bortnowsky.  “Is one of the tests of residency where you are claiming a property tax exemption?” Then, seemingly self-conscious over the impression her question may have made, Jones broke from her stated intention to follow precise procedure in allowing members of the council to provide their comment in a strict order, going out of her way to question de Bortnowsky and the city manager, in so doing seeking to dispel the notion that the hearing that evening was a set-up with a predetermined outcome. She asked de Bortnowsky, “Did you or Mr. Metzler in any way prompt Council Member Becerra to request tonight’s agenda item?”
“No,” said de Bortnowsky.
“No,” said Metzler.
Jones then allowed Becerra to move in for the kill.
Becerra said that Ramirez claimed her Victorville residency to be at 16893 Glennaire Avenue, property that is registered to Juan Romero as the owner. “This is the same address used by Ms. Denise Wells,” whom Becerra pointed out, was appointed to the planning commission by Ramirez. Ramirez, Becerrra said, was using Well’s address as her address. Becerra continued, “Rita Ramirez Dean is the registered owner of house on Two Mile Road in Twentynine Palms, acquired in January 1974. At this location, Council Member Ramirez claims a homeowner’s exemption, which is provided only to owners that use their property as a principal residence.” Dean is Ramirez’s married name.
Furthermore, Becerra said, “In December 2019, Council Member Ramirez was hospitalized and returned to her home, again in Twentynine Palms some time between March and April [2020]. Since April 21st of 2020, Council Member Ramirez has continued to live at [the] Twentynine Palms home [and] has participated in the council meetings from that location. Verification of this can be supported by public records showing her Twentynine Palms address as noticed in the April 21st [2020] council agenda as the location open to the public so she could participate remotely. Public records show Council Member Ramirez’s printed agenda is delivered by Fed Ex since May of 2020 to her Twentynine Palms home. Public records show the staff has traveled to her Twentynine Palms home since April of 2020 to facilitate her participation in our city council meetings here in the city of Victoriville. On February 3 of this year, Denise Wells submitted her letter of resignation from the planning commission, moving from the Glennaire address. That happened on February 28. Madame Mayor, we can only say that Councilwoman Ramirez has not lived in the city of Victorville longer than a year. We owe the public, we owe the voters the right to have Victorville representation.”
Thereafter, statements from members of the public were heard.
Miguel Soto, Jr. accused Ramirez of “not just lying to the public but really stalling progress within our city.”
Paul Marsh said, “We now have one council member who hasn’t attended one meeting – any council meetings – at least since the beginning of the year. This can no longer be ignored. What we have now in an incomplete government body.”
Romero Rodriguez said he believed the case made against Ramirez consisted of “hearsay. I understand Ms. Ramirez was ill. She was taking care of herself. Maybe she needed to take care of herself over there because she didn’t have the luxury of taking care of herself here. She’s an older lady. It’s a lot of lack of respect to treat her this accord… whether she lives part-time here, or whatever.”
Maggie Martin said, “It’s been known for a long time that she is not now or previously been a legitimate Victorville resident.” Martin also said that Ramirez had celebrated Thanksgiving at her home in Twentynine Palms.
Brandon Dixon said Becerra had provided a “germane and concise presentation” that was “definitely relevant and needs to be considered to make sure the best interests of the local residences (sic) is taken as a primary interest.”
DeAnn Hudgens said, I am concerned that Council Member Rita Ramirez has shown negligence in performing her duty and responsibility as an elected council member. She has not attended any meetings, either in person or electronically since December 15, 2020. I have not heard any reasons why she would be excused for nonattendance. Although she is not attending any meetings she is still receiving her monthly stipend and health insurance from the taxpayers of the city. We, the residents of Victorville, are entitled to full-time council members to conduct the business of the city.”
Ruth Cordova said “It is clear the council has met the burden of proof by a preponderance of the evidence that the elector, Council Member Rita Ramirez, has acted in clear violation of the law, oath of office and the United States Constitution, and has failed to represent the people of the city of Victorville. Council Member Rita Ramirez has imposed significant liability on the people in furtherance of compelling city employees and comrade council members to pose as actors and accomplices by harboring an elector for ten full months, nearly one full year.”
Denise Wells told the council, “I totally disagree with any actions to remove Rita Ramirez from her city council seat. She has been nothing but an asset to the City of Victorville, which I know personally, and will continue to be so. I suggest that before you take any legal against her, review your actions and what you have said against her before you try to enforce any actions that remove her from her seat.”
Angel Esparza said the council had “an obligation to remove Ms. Ramirez from this council. I believe Council Member Ramirez has vacated her position as a council member.”
Without any discussion of how the council was going to proceed with a determination of facts, or a comparison of the evidence or an opportunity for Ramirez to provide any response to, or documentation concerning, the assertions made or claimed evidence against her, Mayor Jones asked for a motion.
Becerra said, “I believe Council Member Ramirez has vacated her position as a council member and after hearing from the city attorney, his analysis and what I put before you, I motion and I hereby find and determine based on the evidence on record that Council Member Ramirez’s seat is hereby declared vacated for the lack of residency pursuant to Government Code 36502, 243 and 244.”
Immediately, Councilwoman Gomez made a substitute motion to table the matter indefinitely. No second was made to that motion.
Mayor Jones inquired of Becerra if, and confirmed from her that, her motion was intended to make the requisite findings that Ramirez’s residence was not in Victorville. Jones asked if there was a second of Becerra’s motion. When an extended silence ensued with no second to Becerra’s motion forthcoming, Jones seconded it.
Ramirez asserted, “I have been in Victorville since 2015. My address was Lennaire until the first of this month, when Denise Wells notified me she was moving to Palmdale. She is my former campaign manager and we shared a friendship. I have a domicile in Victorville. I also am an owner of the family home that was built in 1974. I have been going to that home for Thanksgiving. That is where my sons celebrate Thanksgiving. As for quote unquote unexcused absences, since January of 2020, my leg has been amputated and my life was saved. As of December 3 [2020], I notified the city manager, the city clerk and the mayor by text that I was in the hospital, trying to save my foot. My doctor said it would not be amputated, otherwise I would be a double amputee. I was sent by the hospital because of the fact 15 people tested positive [for COVID-19] and one died. They asked my son to bring me to the family home in 29 [Palms]. I did not go back to Victorville because I didn’t want in any way or form to bring the disease to my best friend, Denise Wells. I am totally isolated in my family home to protect all those that I love and to protect myself. I have not missed a meeting since the day you went on Zoom, and the only day I missed it, in December, was because I was requested by my doctor to go to Fontana on the 23rd of December. I celebrated Christmas in the hospital. New Year’s Day and New Year’s Eve I had two surgeries that saved my foot from amputation, and I was put on a wound vacuum for ten days. Therefore, when I notified the city, the city manager, the city clerk and the mayor about my absence, I told them there was no reception in the hospital for a Zoom meeting and no one could come in, because only patients were allowed. I have done everything proper. I have an address that you can check with the registrar of voters that I have a domicile in Victorville. I am renting because I wanted to buy a house, but because of the pandemic it is very difficult. On the other hand, my home, which is my family home, was built when I got married, and I’m here to save myself and not to bring it [COVID-19] to anyone. This home belongs to my sons, and I have not lived in this home since 2015. When I won the [Congressional] primary in 2016, I also ran in 2018, and I was asked to run for the city [council]. I said that I would… because Victorville…”
At that point, Jones as mayor cut Ramirez off.
Gomez said, “The audience has been stacked against one council member. We have intent and action. How can a city council member or the city council determine intent? That’s a legal term. I did ask if any of you spoke with Rita. What laws, provisions or authority govern a local body of government to detect or interpret the mindset and the intent of another through interpretive means using a city attorney? How did a public record establish intent? Let’s address the elephant in the room. This council is making room to appoint Ryan McEachron, who can by no chance of his own be elected. If staff participates in the Twentynine Palms address, what presumes that there are no gaps, where there’s hospitalization, where there’s been a monopoly of information to direct the misinformation and gaps for personal interests? Unfortunately, there’s a lot of ignorance and a lot of misfacts and a lot of facts that haven’t been brought up to balance the misinformation that has been presented to this council. It is the judges who are the triers of fact, not the legislators.”
Councilwoman Leslie Irving said, “This is a very awkward position as an elected council person for the City of Victorville I find myself in. I want to be fair to my colleague, Councilwoman Ramirez, but I also want to make sure that I do the right thing by the citizens of Victorville. So clearly, the question is… If I just looked at the evidence, it sounds as if my colleague has been away from the city of Victorville, even if I consider that she had two different residencies, places of residence, she’s been gone from Victorville for more than 51 percent of the time. More importantly, I zeroed in on the concept of domicile. The question is, you can have more than one residence but you can’t have more than one domicile, and whatever your primary domicile is is what your primary residency is, and there is a test.” The test is: Can you demonstrate clear[ly] and convincingly by documentation that tethers you, or puts you in a domicile in Victorville? Do you have documents or deeds for a home here? Do you have a rental agreement with utility bills? I don’t know that, but based on what I see before me, I don’t see those kinds of documents. Even if so, you mentioned in your correspondence to the council that you left your place of residency here in Victorville because it was not ADA [Americans With Disabilities Act] compliant. At that time you went to your home, as I understand it. The councilwoman went to a place of rehabilitation and then she went to her place of residency, her domicile, which by virtue of what she said is her family home. I would say that probably lots of government documents… you received mail there, you paid taxes from that place, did you file your taxes for that place, all of your family heirlooms and pictures and things that are of value [are there], so when you decided to leave because the place where you were living wasn’t ADA compliant, you went back to your primary domicile. That’s what it sounds like to me based on your own comments, so I’m guided by that and I’m looking desperately to be wrong and I want to entertain that if I’m wrong, please correct me, but I have a duty to be fair to the citizens of Victorvillle, but I also want to be fair to you. So my question is: Do you have any of those documents – utility bills, tax returns, a rental agreement, something that legally places you in a domicile in Victorville?”
Mayor Jones cut short Irving’s inquiry at that point. “This is the time for comments,” she said.
“Those are my comments,” Irving responded. “It’s a question. I don’t hear a response, but I will stop there. That’s my train of thinking.”
Thereafter, Mayor Jones ushered the city council toward a vote without providing Ramirez with an opportunity to provide or make arrangements to provide any of the documentation Irving had referenced in her comments before she was cut off by Jones. This prompted Gomez to say, “She does have that documentation that was asked for. You just never asked for it.”
Mayor Jones then directed City Clerk Charlene Robinson to prevent Gomez from continuing. “Madam Clerk, will you please mute the member,” Jones ordered.
Jones then sought to provide a justification for not considering the documentation relating to Ramirez’s claim to residency at the 16893 Glennaire Avenue residence, including her driver license, voter registration documentation and utility bills, which Jones based on Gomez speaking out of turn. “The chair will explain why Member Gomez is out of order. She’s not gained recognition of the chair. It is the chair’s opportunity to comment. She has already commented, and we’re not at that place any longer where she can speak as to the pending motion,” Jones said.
Jones then read into the record a statement she had written or which had been written for her, one prepared prior to the meeting that presaged the vote she was about to make.
“I’ve listened carefully to every comment, every question, and taken into account differing views,” Jones read. “I’ve examined the information and evidence before us with the bright light of the law. Member Becerra has produced legal documents and Member Ramirez has produced a letter. On the issue of residency, I find the various documents produced by Council Member Becerra, especially the homeowners exemption, which was one of the tests of residency, and the other statements contained in the staff report to be persuasive, not so with the personal letter submitted by Dr. Ramirez. That correspondence in my view is problematic on many levels and characterizes or assumes as fact that which is not.”
Jones then had the council proceed to the vote. She did not give Ramirez an opportunity to make a showing of her rental agreement or any other documentation.
The council then voted 3-to-2, with Jones, Becerra and Irving prevailing and Gomez and Ramirez dissenting, to remove Ramirez from the council.
The vote was rife with political implication.
From the time the maiden Victorville City Council consisting of Mayor Willard Wade, Mayor Pro Tem Joseph B. Campbell, Dr. William E Oyler, Don Doran and Gladys Butts was sworn in on September 27, 1962, there had been majority Republican rule in Victorville until the December swearing in of Becerra, Irving and Gomez following the November election, when Becerra and Irving were elected to the council for the first time. Gomez, as an incumbent, was reelected. Gomez, a Democrat, and Ramirez, also a Democrat, prior to the election were outnumbered by the three Republicans who were previously on the council – Jones, Jim Cox and Gloria Garcia. Thus, Becerra and Irving replaced Cox, who opted out of running again, and Garcia, who finished ninth in a field of 22 vying for three council positions. Since Irving is a Democrat and Becerra a Republican, the Democrats picked up a net of one on the council, shifting the balance thereon to 3-to-2 in favor of the Democrats, an historic turnaround in Victorville.
Early last month, however, Irving, who was already a member of the San Bernardino County Democratic Central Committee, had a significant falling out with members of her own party when her effort to be elected to the California Central Committee failed in the face of a concerted and coordinated effort by Latino and Latina San Bernardino County Democratic Central Committee members to promote Hispanic candidates for the prestigious statewide party position. In a huff, Irving tendered her resignation from the San Bernardino County Central Committee, in doing so leveling the charge that members of the party had engaged in racist acts.
While municipal elected offices are officially considered nonpartisan in nature in California, in San Bernardino County political affiliation is a primary consideration in any electoral context. With the removal of Ramirez, an opportunity now exists for the Republicans to reassert primacy on the city council and control over Victorville’s government. The question comes down to whether the city council, now equally divided 2-to-2 between Democrats and Republicans, can come to a consensus over an appointment, and whether that appointment will be a Republican or a Democrat.
Indications are that Jones and the Republicans are making overtures to Irving, who has burned multiple bridges with her former compatriots in the Democratic Party, to convince her to support either of two Republican former councilmen who ran in the November election, Ryan McEachron and Eric Negrete. McEachron, a one-time mayor of Victorville who served on the council for eight years before he was displaced in 2016 by Gomez, ran neck-and-neck with Irving in the 2020 race before finishing closely behind her in fourth place. He has solid Republican credentials. Negrete, who finished far off the pace in 14th place in November, was on the council for four years from 2014 until 2018, when he was toppled by Ramirez. Negrete at one point was being eyed as candidate for the state legislature with the eventual potential of being a breakthrough Hispanic Republican candidate for governor.
Informed speculation is that an appeal is being made to the highly politically ambitious Irving, who two decades ago successfully ran for city council in Compton but was never seated after allegations surfaced and a Superior Court Judge ruled that she had engaged in election fraud by registering non-citizens to vote and then casting their votes for herself. The overture to Irving is reportedly one which would elevate her to the post of mayor as early as next December in exchange for her vote in support of McEachron or Negrete. Sources once close to Irving say she is leaning toward returning control of the city to a Republican council majority despite her lifelong identification as a Democrat. On December 8, a month and five days after the November 3, 2020 election and one week after the results were certified, Becerra nominated Irving to the position of mayor pro tem and Irving was confirmed to that honorific in a vote of the council from which Gomez was locked out of the teleconference meeting and was prevented from participating.
During her now-abbreviated political career, Ramirez proved herself to be even more politically ambitious than Irving.
Prior to her election to the Victorville City Council in 2018, Ramirez was a member of the Copper Mountain Community College District Board of Trustees from 1999 until 2001 and again from 2008 until 2012. She vied for Assembly District 65 in 2004 and 2006, the 41st Congressional District in 2008 and Congress in the 31st Congressional District in 2012. She won the Democratic Primary for Congress in the 8th Congressional District in 2016, losing to the Republican incumbent, Paul Cook, in the November general election. She again vied unsuccessfully for Congress in the 8th District in the 2018 primary. That November, she successfully ran for the city council in Victorville. Last year, while she was yet hospitalized, she ran for First District county supervisor against Paul Cook, who opted out of running for reelection to Congress to do so. Ramirez finished second in that race, which featured four total candidates.
