Marsh Says His Election & Sales Tax Are Key To Victorville Advancing

Victorville Planning Commissioner Paul Marsh, who is seeking one of three positions on the Victorville City Council being contested in this year’s election, is making his campaign synonymous with a call for civic engagement.
With 21 hopefuls engaged in the race, Marsh said he is making a direct appeal to those elements of the Victorville community who believe in the ability of good government directed by a core of well-meaning, dedicated and farseeing elected officials to improve the quality of life of the local populace and transform neighborhoods into living environments in which parents can raise children in safety and confidence.
“Victorville, the Key City of the High Desert, offers many opportunities for business, E-commerce and families,” Marsh said. “With I-15 Freeway access, railway spurs and approved transportation routes, Victorville should be a sought-after location for businesses to locate in.”
In addition to Marsh, this year’s Victorville City Council contest features incumbents Blanca Gomez and Gloria Garcia, as well as Lionel Dew, Terrance Stone, Robert Bowen, Frank Kelly, Elizabeth Becerra, Lizet Angulo, Roger LaPlante, Adam Verduzco Jr., Craig Timchak, Webster Thomas, Ashiko Newman, Mike Stevens, Kimberly Mesen, Eric Negrete, Kareema Abdul, Ryan McEachron, Valentin Godina and Jerry Laws. Incumbent Councilman Jim Cox, whose term will elapse in December, is not seeking reelection.
Marsh said he believed that “Our city can do better. With the increase in crime, traffic accidents, and homelessness, Victorville does not have adequate law enforcement coverage. Vacant commercial buildings, poorly maintained parking lots and some neighborhoods have become eyesores.”
Two remedies to that dilemma exist on this year’s ballot, Marsh said, consisting of his candidacy for the city council and Measure P, which would impose an additional 1 percent sales tax on all purchases made in the city which are already subject to the statewide California sales tax. Marsh encouraged Victorville’s residents to support both. Measure P will give the city adequate means to deal with the issues it faces and his presence on the council will ensure that the money the city’s residents entrust to City Hall will be spent wisely and on those programs which will best address the community’s shortcomings, he said.
“In order for the city to address its challenges, more personnel must be added,” he said. “I support Measure P on Victorville’s November ballot that would add revenue to the city. This along with the revenue that will be generated by the new homes that are being built will boost the city’s financial position. Hiring more police to address rising crime and enable more traffic control will expand and extend public safety. Additional code enforcement officers will permit our city to address blight in Victorville. Homelessness, a huge problem with Victorville having the second highest number of those living on the streets among all the cities in the county, is in the process of being addressed. We’ve all seen the devastation caused by the homeless, including the destruction and serious damage to historical landmarks in our city. The Victorville City Council has approved a plan that will provide necessary services once funding/resource money for it is approved. After that assistance is in place, the city will be allowed to enforce our ordinances which will eliminate the encampments that exist all over our city for those who choose not to participate in a recognized program.”
Marsh offered a brief biographical overview.
“I moved to Victorville in 1962 when my father was assigned to George Air Force Base,” he said. “My mother taught at Park View School. I graduated from Victor Valley High School. My wife Lenita and I have been married 40 years. We have three children and four grandchildren. Being a self-employed loan officer affiliated with Home Funding Corporation, I originate home, commercial and hard money loans. Currently, I’m the vice-chair of the Victorville Planning Commission.”
He is the candidate for those who see local government as the most direct way to make a positive change in their environment and calibrate public services to meet everyday citizens’ needs, he said.
“The Victorville City Council needs members who can evaluate issues logically and offer commonsense solutions,” Marsh said. “I am running because I understand this election is pivotal. I will bring decorum and civility with consistency to the council. I am committed to make Victorville a safe and family-friendly city. My commitment is to return the tradition of vision and planning to Victorville.”

Reyes Makes Financial Accountability And Helping The Unfortunate His Campaign Goal

Edward Reyes said “I am running for Adelanto City Council to bring financial accountability to the office.”
In making a case for his election to the city council, Reyes was concise, to the point and straightforward.
“I have an honest, up front demeanor and enjoy helping others, working for free in the substance abuse field,” he said. “I have years of experience in the substance abuse field and started two nonprofit substance abuse programs.”
He is distinguished from his opponents for a position on the council, Reyes said, by his “honesty and being goal oriented.”
The major issues facing Adelanto presently, Reyes said, are “taxes and financial accountability from elected public officials.”
He said these challenges can be redressed in considerable measure “by legislation to require public bidding on large financial disbursements/contracts.”
Reyes said, “Financial accountability does not require taxpayer investments. It requires a strong investigation into what is wrong and how to correct it, so that we don’t keep making the same mistakes over and over again.”
Reyes possesses substantial previous experience relating to government, he said, as a result of “my previous employment as a building inspector for the City of Los Angeles dealing with the public and solving/resolving code issues.”
Reyes has lived in Adelanto for twenty years. He attended Benjamin Franklin High School in Los Angeles, graduating in the summer of 1962. He subsequently obtained an associate of arts degree from Citrus College in Azusa. He then earned a bachelor’s degree in behavioral science and criminal justice from California Polytechnic University, Pomona. He also attended Los Angeles Trade Technical College in Los Angeles and Mount San Antonio College in Walnut.
In addition to his work as a public agency building inspector, Reyes has worked as an interpreter and as an entrepreneur with his Reyes Interpretation Services, which he owned and operated.
Reyes is married with four grown children. He has suffered the loss of one daughter, who is deceased from cancer. He has eight grandchildren.
A polio survivor, at the age of three-and-a-half he spent a considerable amount of time in an iron lung. “I recently raised over $21,000 for the Shriners Hospital, which helped me with braces, medical rehab, and counseling as a child.”
As a military veteran, Reyes said, “I have never backed down from fighting for that which is right or helping my fellow man, either here in America, or in foreign lands.”

Even As Upland’s Population Grows & Yard Sizes Shrink, City Mulls Selling Parkland

“Don’t it always seem to go…That you don’t know what you’ve got…’Til it’s gone…They paved paradise…Put up a parking lot…” Joni Mitchell
By Kenneth Mays
Parklands are a public treasure, at the federal, state, county or city level. They are a precious commodity and of limited quantity. Parks are the exclusive property of the public, and are essential to the quality of life. They provide an environment that is both healthy and diverse, which is critical to the physical and emotional health of people. In addition to those benefits to humans, parks provide a sanctuary for a wide variety of plant and animal life as well. The benefits of parks are universal and all encompassing, from insects to birds, from grass blades to flower petals, from brambly bushes to broad leaf trees, and in Upland’s case, from rabbits to coyotes with a bevy of squirrels and raccoons in between. All exist in a careful balance with humanity.
In 1975, in recognition of the universal importance of parkland, the California State Legislature enacted California Government Code section 66477, commonly called the “Quimby Act.” That provision in state law sets a requirement that for each 1,000 people in a city a minimum of three acres of parkland be set aside and protected and prohibited from development for other use. The Quimby Act also allows a city to set its own standard with a maximum of up to five acres per 1,000 persons being required.
Upland’s District 1 in the city’s northeastern corner has a total of 23.82 park acres, consisting of 9.51-acre Greenbelt Park and 14.31-acre San Antonio Park. Upland’s District 2, located in the northwest quadrant, has three parks totaling 19.11 acres: Magnolia Park at 6.89 acres, McCarthy Park comprising 5.41 acres, and Sierra Vista Park encompassing 6.81 acres. District 3, which comprises Upland’s southwest alcove, boasts 29.12 acres of parks, those being the five-acre Baldy View Dog Park, 18.28-acre Cabrillo Park and 5.84-acre Citrus Park. District 4, covering Upland’s southeast sector, features Memorial Park, the city’s largest public recreational amenity at 38.5 acres, along with Olivedale Park, spanning 6.35 acres, entailing a combined 44.9 acres.
When considering the standard contained in the Quimby Act relating to the three acres per 1,000 population ratio of parkland to people, Upland does not meet that requirement. To meet the minimum criteria, Upland’s 77,000 population should have access to 231 acres of parks. The city’s 116.9 acres represents just 50.6 percent of the Quimby standard. Moreover, not even one of of Upland’s four districts meets the requirement. Each district accounts for very close to one-quarter of the city’s population. District 4, which has the most park acreage of any of the city’s political divisions, comes closest to the standard, with 77.75 percent of the minimum. Stated another way, District 4 has 2.273 acres of parks for every 1,000 population.
At one time the City of Upland was considering developing a 57-acre sports park in District 1 as part of a large 99-acre project which involved both the cities of Upland and Claremont. That project, labeled Sycamore Hills, never came to fruition. Even if that never-realized park had been added to the city’s park roster, it yet would have fallen short of the 3 acres per 1,000-person ratio in the Quimby standard.
Now, Measure Q, which is to be decided by Upland’s voters as part of the ballot in this year’s election cycle, is asking if Upland residents are amenable to selling 4.631 acres of Memorial Park. If Measure Q passes, Upland will see its area devoted to parks drop from 116.9 acres to 112.3 acres.
While the Quimby Act does provide developers and builders the means to relieve themselves of the responsibility to provide parkland through the payment of an “in-lieu fee,” such payments are not an act of total “absolution” for the city at large. In fact, this “payment” has become so commonplace as to be considered nearly a standard practice. For one thing, it is technically not a fee the developer pays at all. The fee is simply added to the cost to the residential units being built and ultimately paid by the buyer. An important consideration in deciding what the fate of Measure Q should be is the continuing proliferation of building that has resulted in a higher and higher population density, with virtually little to no yard space for the units now being built in Upland, including those listed as “single detached residences.” This so-called “stack & pack” building trend can be seen in construction popping up all over the city, even in the midst of more traditional housing areas where the density is not as intense as that of the newly added neighborhoods. Projects such as the displacement of the old Upland Tennis Club on 15th Street, and the apartment project at The Colonies at San Antonio subdivision are examples of this.
Residential projects currently in various stages of development in the City of Upland are the Harvest-Arbor Square/Sunflower subdivision consisting of 193 single family detached and attached homes; the Villa Serena development, involving 65 single-family detached residential units; phases one and two of the Sycamore Hills project consisting of 145 detached single-family homes, to be followed by phase three of Sycamore Hills, with 176 detached homes and attached townhomes; the Courtyard at Upland Hills, which will bring into the city another 68 residential units/condominiums; the Mesa Court Apartments, described as 60 townhouses and apartments; Ridgecrest Upland, entailing 52 townhomes on three acres; the Alta, 203 apartments at the Colonies at San Antonio; the Magnolias, 37 condominiums; the Commons, which is to consist of 48 dwelling units; the Highline, which will be comprised of 48 three-story townhomes; the 7th Street Apartments, 64 two-story and three-story townhouse-style apartments; phase two of Ridgecrest, consisting of 26 townhomes on three acres; the Colony Condos, 60 condominiums; Lennar at Harvest, a 147-unit single-family detached and attached home project; College Heights, a 192-unit development; Tierras Atlas, composed of 61 units; Citrus Village, to provide 199 senior citizen crackerbox quarters; and the 6th Avenue Apartments, slated for 88 units. The total number of units anticipated for completion over the next two years thus stands at 1,932. Currently there are two legal battles brewing over two of the aforementioned development projects.
It is anticipated that the 2020 Census will demonstrate that Upland’s population has zoomed beyond the official 77,000 population count now credited to the City of Gracious Living. The eventual completion of the 1,932 units now on the drawing boards or underway will likely result in an influx of something on the order of another 8,000 residents, further distancing Upland from the park acreage-to-person ratio standard specified in the Quimby Act. With no additional parkland and no yards to speak of for children, adults and pets to exercise and play in, these current and many past projects have already and in the future will only serve to make the disparity between the acre-to-population disparity worse.
Two years ago, a “trade” proposal was afoot to sell Cabrillo Park to Lewis Homes, which intended to develop the 18.28-acre park. Fortunately, that deal was stopped by the outcry of Upland residents. Representations were that the trade would have provided the city with a net gain in park acreage, as Lewis Homes indicated it would make a 44-acre span of property located in an existing quarry next to the 210 Freeway available to the city, upon which a sports complex would be developed. That gain in park acreage in District 1 would have meant a substantial loss of parkland in District 3, and also would have resulted in the loss of 32 acres of undeveloped land in the Sycamore Hills area already owned by the city. Previously, the city council had deemed that open space to be “…not appropriate, convenient or necessary for park purposes.” Like Memorial Park, that open space was supposed to be here for generations to come. This cavalier attitude toward breaking these commitments is nothing new in Upland. More than a decade ago, Mayor John Pomierski engineered the sale of more than ten acres of parkland, known as Pioneer Park, located on the north side of 18th Street between Pioneer Junior High School on the east and the Chaffey Communities Cultural Center on the west. This loss of what could have remained as a viable park renders what parkland Upland still has even more precious and valuable than it ever was.
As previously stated, in-lieu fee payments made by a developer do not alleviate the onerousness of past behavior by the city. Nor do they absolve the city of any responsibility for the parks now. In fact, given the current status of Upland’s parkland, the city’s responsibility is even greater. A basic element of the city’s charter is that it preserve parkland for posterity, not just for those residents who make use of the municipal recreational amenities that, thankfully, are here today. In short, city officials are both the caretakers of the present and the guardians of the future. In recognition of that greater responsibility and to direct and regulate the city’s responsibility in this matter, the city established a general plan, a blueprint of what the city’s current land uses are and what development is to take place going forward. Dating back at least until 1982, that plan was to serve as an…“integrated constitution for growth and preservation in the city.” One of the first chapters enunciating the city’s professed philosophies, called “elements” throughout the general plan document, is “The Community Character and Urban Design Element.” The stated purpose of this “element” is to “preserve and build upon Upland’s sense of place and unique identity” and “to guide the character of future development, and protect… important aspects of the natural and built environment that define the image and spirit of Upland.”
The general plan states, “This element gets to the heart of Upland’s vision statement, which is to preserve and enhance Upland’s small town community character and the attributes that evoke a unique sense of place…(including) beautiful and safe neighborhoods…quality parks and open spaces, a scenic and natural environment…”
Perhaps this statement is the defining clause for Upland’s motto, “The City of Gracious Living.” This was once exemplified by spacious yards and diverse landscapes of past residential projects and was anchored in the example that is Memorial Park. Were one to review virtually all of the 19 projects involving the 1,932 units to be developed in Upland over the next two years and compare them to the “elements” in the referred section of the “development plan,” one would find these projects to be in direct contradiction to the city’s own stated goals and objectives. And that standard enunciated in 1982 is maintained in the city’s general plan, which was most recently updated in 2015.
Overall, the city’s general plan encompasses many topics and areas. Of the general plan’s nine chapters, Chapter 6 is devoted to “Open Space – Conservation Element.” Relative to the “goals, policies and actions” sections of that chapter, one finds the following areas of concern: open space and natural resources; parks and recreation; air quality; greenhouse gas emissions; non-renewable energy; and mineral resources. The “parks and recreation” section of Chapter 6 of the 2015 Upland General Plan is the most pertinent passage in that document with regard to the matter herein under contemplation. In that section, one finds a series of statements within the category of “open space and conservation elements,” which were developed to regulate and direct the city’s actions in each of the areas listed. Relative to “open space & natural resources” the very first goal of the city’s Open Space and Conservation-1 statement is thus articulated: “Upland’s natural resources such as open space, wildlife and vegetation, are protected and enjoyed as limited and valuable resources and integral parts of a sustainable environment.” Relative to the section on “Parks & Recreation” one will also find the following policies in the Open Space and Conservation-3.1 statement: “Park Preservation. Preserve existing park space and discourage the use of parkland for non-park related uses or facilities.” The Open Space and Conservation-3.2 statement holds: “Existing Parks. Upgrade and rehabilitate existing parks as necessary to meet the changing needs of the community.” The Open Space and Conservation-3.3 statement maintains “New Parks and Recreational Facilities. Ensure that the provision of parks and recreational facilities and services keep pace with population growth…” The Open Space and Conservation-3.4 statement relates to “Underserved Areas. Prioritize the development of new parks in underserved areas and low-income neighborhoods.” The Open Space and Conservation-3.5 statement cites the “Quimby Act. Continue to require residential subdivisions to provide at least 3 acres of parkland per 1,000 residents or pay an in-lieu fee or some combination thereof, pursuant to Section 66477 of the California Government Code (the Quimby Act).”
It thus follows that the current state of municipal parks in Upland puts the city in violation of every single one of the city’s own stated policies. It is more than past time for city officials to practice what they preach.
However one defines “progress,” going backward is not it. For several decades now, park acreage and the land available for park use has steadily declined. The imbalance between park-acreage and population is already at a critical level, indeed approaching the point of no return. It is highly unlikely this situation will resolve itself, and the prospect is that crisis will only become more certain with developers gobbling up more and more of the available land and the proposed sale of parkland Upland already owns. As for that “parcel” in Memorial Park – the 4.631 acres that is the subject of Measure Q – being “discontinued and abandoned,”questions remain. Is the term “abandoned” being used as an underhanded ploy to get the people of Upland to “legally” relinquish ownership and control of that parcel to city officials so that it can then be sold to whomever they want? Already we are experiencing a sort of “seller’s remorse” with how the sale of parkland just a few short decades ago has contributed to a steady erosion in the park acreage-per-person ratio. And why a sale to begin with? The city already leases out some areas of the park now. Why hasn’t a lease agreement been explored with this parcel? How about a long-term lease with the hospital building a shared underground parking facility with a “splashpad” on top for residents to enjoy? None of those options can be explored, however, unless the people of Upland retain ownership of that property.
As for San Antonio Regional Hospital’s “plea” for a “yes” vote; the hospital has alternative land holdings in the immediate area on which it can develop parking and/or anything else it may need. The hospital is not solely dependent on this chunk of Memorial Park. In fact, as recently as July 2020, in an open session city council meeting, a representative of the hospital revealed that the hospital’s board and management are already talking about using the parcel for purposes other than the previously promised parking lot. They want it because it’s the least expensive and easiest way for them to do what they want. As for park improvements, the City of Upland is not as “desperate” for San Antonio Hospital’s money as the hospital and others make it sound. In fact, as stated in Upland’s budget for 2020-2021, on line 421 listed as “park acquisition & development fund,” the city has a balance of $10,400,370. Besides, an upfront lease fee with a monthly lease payment and park improvement stipulations can all be part of a negotiated deal, and not some ballot ultimatum. So, the money that San Antonio Regional Hospital and others claim to be a “critical” issue, is not actually all that critical. Parkland is the critical issue.

Sawtooth Goldenbush

Sawtooth goldenbush is a species of shrub in the asteraceae or sunflower family known by the scientific name hazardia squarrosa. It is native to California and Baja California, where it grows in coastal and inland scrub and chaparral habitats from Monterey County southward. A shrub of variable size, from low and clumpy to sprawling over six feet tall, it is covered in thick, sharply toothed leaves a few centimeters long and is generally not very hairy or woolly other than at the bottom of its outside leaves. It bears discoid flower heads covered in greenish, pointed phyllaries and opening into an array of long yellow to slightly reddish disc florets
There are three recognized varieties of the sawtooth goldenbush with largely overlapping ranges. It provides long lasting summer color and is popular with many insects including butterflies. Butterflies and moths hosted by hazardia squarrosa native to California include isophrictis magnella; Cucullia incresa; and Gabb’s checkerspot, chlosyne gabbii.
There are three main varieties of the sawtooth goldenbrush, two of which are extant in San Bernardino County. Those two are the hazardia squarrosa var. grindelioides, which proliferates from Monterey County to Baja California and hazardia squarrosa var. squarrosa, which ranges from San Benito County to San Diego County. Another variety, hazardia squarrosa var. obtusa, is cataloged as existing in Santa Barbara, Ventura, Los Angeles and Kern counties.
Its leaves are leathery or stiffly papery, oblong to obobate, obtuse and tooted, approximately two-thirds of an inch to two inches long. Each leaf is smoother on top, and the bottom may have a superfluidity of white hairs. The flowers are a series of overlapping phyllaries, consisting of individual bracts, which is why the haradia squarrosa resembles in some respects a pine cone, with a flower poking out of the top. The flower is a composite but lacks ray florets. These florets are corralled into a common base, making it appear to be a single flower. Many plants with clusters of flowers will bloom at the same time and provide a splash of color. Blooms are scattered throughout the plant at differing times. The sawtooth goldenbrush sports a red-brown to white fruit of roughly five to eight millimeters. As the flower dries out, the seeds contained therein are dispersed by the wind.
Blooming in the summer and fall generally from June until October, the sawtooth goldenbush has tiny yellow flowers that resemble flowering pine cones complemented by its sharply pointed, holly-like leaves. The flowers serve as a significant nectar source for pollinators. Its preferred habitat is dry, open chaparral, below 4,000 feet, while doing almost as well, occasionally, in sage scrub and grasslands.
Sawtooth goldenbush can take different forms, upright or spreading, as a multi-branched sub-shrub. Typically, these plants are less than three feet high.
Plants that bloom in the late summer or early fall have less competition for pollinators but also have limited access to water. Water loss from photosynthesis occurs during the exchange of carbon dioxide and oxygen; less transpiration reduces the amount of conversion to oxygen and organic compounds that feed the plant. Nature has provided for the continuation of this species following an evloutionary formula which has traded faster growth and seed production for drought tolerance and the chance of more successful pollination.
Ancestral native Californians boiled sawtooth goldenbush in water to use for bathing, which was thought to be a cure for general bodily aches and pains.

A PETITION FOR PROBATE has been filed by ERIN ELIZABETH CONNELL and MELISSA JOY WILDE-CAINE in the Superior Court of California, County of SAN BERNARDINO.
THE PETITION FOR PROBATE requests that ERIN ELIZABETH CONNELL and MELISSA JOY WILDE-CAINE be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent.
THE PETITION requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.) The independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority.
A hearing on the petition will be held in Dept. No. S-35 at 1:30 p.m. on 10/27/2020 at Superior Court of California, County of San Bernardino, 247 West Third Street, San Bernardino, CA 92415, San Bernardino District.

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.

You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call FOR SALES INFORMATION, PLEASE CALL (855)986-9342, or visit this Internet Web site www.superiordefault.com using the file number assigned to this case 2020-1547. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. Date: 9/10/2020. S.B.S.

To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both of JACK ERBE
A PETITION FOR PROBATE has been filed by DARYL ROBERT ERBE in the Superior Court of California, County of SAN BERNARDINO.
THE PETITION FOR PROBATE requests that DARYL ROBERT ERBE be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent.

(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.

FBI Eyeing Unresolved Flap Over Upland Police Chief’s Rescinded Suspension

The contretemps that grew out of the abrupt suspension of Upland Police Chief Darren Goodman in June followed by the equally sudden manner in which he was reinstated has yet to fully resolve, and now involves an FBI investigation into some of the issues leading up to it, it was disclosed this week.
Earlier this year, Luz Barrett, a clerical employee in the police department, lodged a complaint against Goodman, which touched off a series of events that is creating problems for both Mayor Debbie Stone, who is up for reelection in November, and City Manager Rosemary Hoerning, who initiated the action against Goodman in June, apparently at Stone’s behest.
The precise reason why Hoerning put Goodman on administrative leave has not been publicly disclosed. What befell Goodman is widely believed to be an extension of the animus that Marty Thouvenell developed toward Goodman.
Thouvenell, who had been Upland’s police chief from 1991 until 2005, was brought in to serve as acting city manager in July 2016. He remained in that position until January 1, 2018, at which point Bill Manis became city manager, with Thouvenell remaining in the position of management consultant. The aggressive and domineering Thouvenell was reluctant to give up his primacy at City Hall, however, and he was in particular persistent in involving himself in issues relating to the police department. In the aftermath of the departure of Brian Johnson as police chief in October 2017 followed by Thouvenell’s arrangement to have a captain who had once served under him, Douglas Millmore, serve in the capacity of acting police chief, the city hired Goodman as police chief in 2018. After Goodman assumed command of the police department, he encountered difficulty in dealing with Thouvenell, whom Goodman felt was overstepping his authority as the city’s managerial consultant, encroaching on Goodman’s function as the head of the police department. Thouvenell on a constant basis came into Upland Police headquarters using a key card that he was not authorized to have. Thouvenell then inserted himself into various officers’ and staff members’ daily tasks and assignments, asking them for information about police department activities. Thouvenell contacted police department personnel directly, requesting or ordering them to send patrol units to various locations, including to remove campaign signs. Upon learning about this interference with the police department’s operations, Goodman at first politely requested that Thouvenell refrain from acting as if he was still the chief of police. When that did not work, Goodman took possession of Thouvenell’s keycard. This antagonized Thouvenell.
Thouvenell at one point sought to involve himself in the personnel decisions that were supposed to be Goodman’s exclusive province, those being hiring, disciplining and firing employees. In one known case, he directed Chief Goodman not to promote Lieutenant Cliff Matthews because, contrary to Goodman’s high estimation of Matthews ability, Thouvenell considered him ‘lazy’ and ‘worthless.’”
More than a decade-and-a-half prior to Goodman becoming police chief, Barrett had been hired into the department by Thouvenell, and their relationship may have had an impact on what transpired with Goodman.
Undisputed is that on Friday, June 19, a specially-called meeting of the city council, one hastily convened on the basis of what was said to be an emergency that dispensed with the normal 72-hour notification provided in advance of governmental board meetings, was held. The basis for the urgency, it was tersely disclosed, was the potential of the city being sued by a member or members of the police department.
Less than a month earlier, on May 31, Third District Councilman Ricky Felix’s resignation tendered on May 11 had become effective. Thus, on June 19, the Upland City Council, reduced to four-fifths strength, met during an emergency closed session to discuss a letter written to it that week by Goodman’s attorney, Stephen Larson, which some officials felt might presage legal action against the city. That letter strongly protested the treatment Goodman had received after Barrett had alleged Goodman had misappropriated her services. City officials, in looking into Barrett’s accusations, had insinuated that Goodman had acted improperly, triggering Larson’s letter.
At the June 19 meeting, Mayor Debbie Stone, Second District Councilwoman Janice Elliott, Fourth District Councilman Rudy Zuniga and Councilman Bill Velto, who had been appointed into what was the council’s last remaining at-large council seat, took no official action.
Three days after the June 19 closed-door meeting of the council, on Monday, June 22, Hoerning acting solely with the authority of the mayor’s backing and without any direction from the remainder of the city council, placed Goodman on administrative leave. When informed late that morning about the suspension of the police chief, Councilman Zuniga said he had not been informed in advance that it was going to take place. Councilwoman Elliott likewise said she had no inkling of the action before it was announced. Zuniga and Elliot said there had been no authorization of the suspension in any vote taken.
By June 25, it was widely known in Upland that Barrett’s accusation against Goodman consisted of her contention that she had assisted Goodman in translation and interpretation in his efforts to communicate with his family’s Spanish-speaking housekeeper, and that she had carried out that assignment while being paid by the city. Goodman marshaled evidence to demonstrate Barrett had forged the timecard she said supported her accusation.
On June 29, after the city had attempted but failed to prevent the widespread public surfacing of information relating to Barrett’s accusations against Goodman forming the grounds for the police chief’s suspension, Hoerning at the direction of Zuniga, Elliott and Velto reinstated Goodman.
While many assumed that was the end of the controversy, word has now come that Goodman has yet needed to walk on eggs while serving in the capacity of police chief.
According to a letter dated September 29 sent to Upland’s mayor and city councilmembers from Stephen Larson, Goodman’s attorney, a previous letter dated June 24 Larson had submitted to the city on Goodman’s behalf had strenuously protested the action suspending Goodman, while pointing out the elements of Barrett’s comportment that were problematic and brought into question the validity of the grounds the city had relied upon in placing Goodman on leave, what Larson characterized as “an overarching and concerted effort to launch a crusade against him based on fabricated, disparaging accusations.”
Moreover, according to Larson’s September 29 letter, “Hoerning issue[d] a notice [which] cited Chief Goodman for the simple act of we, his lawyers, sending the June letter. The notice went so far as to accuse Chief Goodman of insubordination and retaliation against Barrett in violation of city policy for simply defending himself against a threatened lawsuit and outrageous conduct by certain city leaders and Thouvenell. This notice was, of course, patently meritless and nonsensical for several reasons. First, the June letter, prepared and submitted by his counsel, is wholly protected by Chief Goodman’s First Amendment rights to free speech and the right to petition and seek redress from the city. Frankly, Hoerning’s and the city’s attempt to prevent him from exercising those rights is a blatant constitutional violation.”
According to Larson, he wrote a second letter to the city on July 20, upbraiding the city for its continued harassment of Goodman.
“In Chief Goodman’s July 20, 2020 response to that notice, we not only exposed its factual and legal flaws, but also pointed out that Hoerning issuing that notice constituted further retaliation against Chief Goodman based on his conducting the constitutionally protected activity of petitioning the city council and acting as a whistleblower for ongoing corruption in the city, which, as the city manager and city attorney are well aware, involves his cooperation with the FBI’s investigation into that corruption. Even though this response was sent to the city manager and the city attorney, again, no investigation was conducted into Chief Goodman’s complaint about retaliation. Even more baffling, while the city has now finally launched an investigation, it is not into Mayor Stone’s, Thouvenell’s, or Hoerning’s ongoing wrongful conduct, but rather, turning the chief’s complaint on its head, into the Upland Police Department’s practices and procedures – about which no one has complained. The chief and apparently numerous members of the police department have received advisements that the city is now conducting a wide-ranging investigation of the entire Upland Police Department. To justify this absurd development, Hoerning is hanging her hat on a passing reference made in our June letter to the department’s historical reputation for racism. Reviewing how the city is handling this investigation exposes it as a transparent attempt to further harass Chief Goodman and an ill-fated attempt to turn his department against him.”
On Monday night September 28, at the Upland City Council’s last regularly scheduled meeting in September, Larson addressed the city council.
After alluding to the letter delivered to the city earlier that day, Larson said, “I am appealing directly to you because, as explained in the letter, I am getting the runaround from the city manager and the city attorney.”
Larson said, “We live in a time when our collective support for good policing by good police officers could not possibly be more important to the safety and well-being of all of our families and the property of all of our businesses. This is not time for undermining, harassing and trying to sabotage the career of the first African American chief of police in Upland’s history, which is exactly what certain members of our city government are doing.
“Chief Goodman is a good man,” Larson continued. “Chief Goodman is a great police chief. Chief Goodman has the complete support of all of his officers and the peace officer and police management associations of this city. Significantly, Chief Goodman enjoys the broad support of the citizens of Upland.”
Larson than counseled the city council to “consider the broader implications of what is happening, stop the ill-conceived campaign of harassment, discrimination and sabotage, and support the chief.”
