Volunteers are needed for San Bernardino County’s  2019 Point-in-Time Homeless Count.
The Point-in-Time Homeless Count is a one-day street-based and service-based count and what employees in the county’s Department of Behavioral Health refer to as a “subpopulation survey” of sheltered and unsheltered individuals to identify how many people in San Bernardino County are homeless and their so-called “subpopulation characteristics” on a given day.
The 2019 census is scheduled to take place on Thursday, January 24, 2019 between the hours of 6 a.m. and 10:00 a.m.
The Point-in-Time Homeless Count is intended to extend to homeless individuals and families in San Bernardino County and requires the involvement of key community persons and volunteers from each city and all unincorporated areas to help organize and implement the homeless count in their communities. Those identified as key persons and volunteers include representatives of local government, social service providers, law enforcement, municipal agencies, educational institutions, faith-based organizations, local businesses, civic groups, neighborhood associations, nonprofit agencies and current and formerly homeless individuals.
The Point-In-Time-Count is sponsored by the San Bernardino County Homeless Partnership in collaboration with the Office of Homeless Services and in consultation with the Institute for Urban Initiatives.
For the first time, volunteers this year will be conducting the entire count of the county’s unsheltered population by using a smart phone/device application designed specifically for the San Bernardino County Point-in-Time Homeless Count. Training classes on how to use the web-based application for the next San Bernardino County Point-in-Time Count and Survey will be posted on the San Bernardino Homeless Partnership webpage:  www.sbcounty.gov/dbh/sbchp on or before January 7, 2019.
Volunteers can complete the registration form to be a volunteer for the 2019 Point-in-Time Count by contacting Michele Bletcher at (909) 386-8231 or at mkbletcher@dbh.sbcounty.gov.

Oak Hills High School’s 6-foot-6, 326-pound tackle Jason Rodriguez has been named the state’s premier high school level football player in his position.
USA Today placed Rodriguez on the 2018 American Family Insurance All-USA California Football Team. Rodriguez, a senior, was selected for inclusion on the First Team offensive line unit. Rodriguez qualified as the biggest of those linemen, who consist of a center, two guards and one other tackle who attend St. John Bosco in Bellflower, Mater Dei in Santa Ana, San Juan Hills in San Juan Capistrano and Narbonne in Harbor City.
Rodriquez’s mass and power, as well as his rare agility, speed and quickness for a player of his size were key factors in the Bulldogs’ 10-2 record and their advancement in the CIF championship playoffs to the second round where they were ultimately stopped by Camarillo, 44-20 in November. The Bulldogs’ backfield scampered for over 3,000 yards on the ground this just-concluded season. On scores of occasions, running backs Martinique Finn and Isaiah Gray, both of whom rushed for over 1,000 yards this year, were able to break into a wide swathe of daylight and penetrate well into the defensive secondary after Rodriguez obliterated the unfortunate down defensive lineman playing opposite him and then pressed forward to neutralize the second line of defense by lighting up a linebacker.
The season was barely underway when Rodriguez was named as an XXL Under Armour All-America player. A last opportunity to see him in action as a prep football standout will come on January 3, when he will be in Orlando, Florida along with 99 others of those deemed the 100 best high school football players in the county at the Under Armour All-America Game, the USA’s high school football all star game. It will be broadcast live on ESPN2 at 3 pm that day.
Last week, Rodriguez signed up to attend the University of Southern California and play as an offensive lineman with the Trojans.

Jealousy and rage drove a Marine lieutenant stationed at the Twentynine Palms Marine Corps Base to kill a man more than two decades his senior he believed was horning in on a woman variously described as the lieutenant’s wife and/or girlfriend, according to police investigators. It now appears that the woman who inspired the military man’s murderous fit of passion has now betrayed him to authorities, delineating in such exacting detail what led up to the murder, the murder itself and its aftermath that their relationship for which he was willing to go to such extreme lengths is now obliterated and he has no hope of avoiding a decades-long prison sentence.
Lieutenant Curtis Krueger’s bludgeoning of Henry Stange resulted in an arrest last summer that dovetailed with revelations about drug dealing activity at the Marine Corps installation, creating the widespread impression that there was some connection between the dual circumstances, both of which represented an unwelcome spate of publicity for the Navy, the Marine Corps and the Twentynine Palms Marine Corps Base in particular. With the revelations of specifics about the Stange murder investigation, however, it now appears that the activity of a ring of traffickers functioning out of the Marine Corps Communication-Electronics School located on the base and the murder were unrelated coincidences, thought there is something to indicate that the suspected drug dealing activity may have come to light as a consequence of the investigation of Krueger.
On June 2, 2018, the partially decomposed remains of an adult male were found in a shallow grave in Joshua Tree National Park in San Bernardino County, near Big Horn Pass Road and Park Boulevard, about six miles south of Twentynine Palms, not too distant from the dividing line with Riverside County. In relatively short order the remains were identified as those of 54-year-old Henry Allen Stange, who had lived in the 24000 block of New Clay Street, near Kalmia Street in Murrietta. He had gone missing in late May.
Stange was a very active ham radio operator who broadcast at 147.435MHz using the call signs WA6RXZ and KG6EBF. He made a last transmission at 8 a.m. on May 24 and was never heard from again.
Stange had various and wide-ranging contacts with other radio operators. Like Stange, 1st. Lt. Curtis Krueger, a communications officer with Combat Logistics Battalion 7 at the Twentynine Palms Marine Corps Base, had an interest in radioing. Krueger enlisted in the Marines in April 2005, when he was yet 17, becoming a private first class upon graduating from boot camp. He steadily moved up through the non-commissioned ranks, studied computer science programming at San Diego State University and compiled a 3.4 grade point average there while stationed at Camp Pendleton and then qualified to attend officer candidate school. In 2015, he graduated from the Marines’ officer training institution, earning in so doing his lieutenant’s bars. In June 2017 he was stationed at the Twentynine Palms base, where he was a leader of a communications team.
Krueger, now 31, made the acquaintance of Ashlie Stapp, now 27, a coed at Copper Mountain Community College in Joshua Tree. By early this year, Krueger and Stapp were cohabiting in a trailer park in Twentynine Palms, where nearby residents believed they were a married couple.
Stange’s interest in radios and expertise in the fabrication of custom ham radio antennas along with so-called repeaters that propagate and repropagate radio signals, as well as his activity in the ham radio community provided the basis of his interaction with Krueger, and by extension, with Stapp. There are photos and videos of Stange, Krueger and Stapp together at barbecue picnics and potlucks involving radio enthusiasts, both professional and amateur. Stange, who was divorced with two grown children, was something of a modern renaissance man. In addition to being an accomplished musician, he was actively involved in falconry, boating and sailing and freshwater sportsfishing. Stapp apparently became attracted to the older man. Krueger became convinced Stapp and Stange had initiated a physical relationship.
At some point in the summer, the suspicions of investigators with the Murrietta Police Department had settled on Krueger and Stange. They obtained warrants that allowed them to place taps on the phones and communication devices used by the pair and coordinated their investigation with the Naval Criminal Investigative Service and the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department. By August 28, they had what they believed was probable cause to arrest both Krueger and Stapp for involvement in Stange’s murder. On August 29 Krueger and Stapp were arrested and transported to Riverside County, where both were booked at the Cois Byrd Detention Center in French Valley for murder and conspiracy. Stapp was subsequently transferred to the Riverside County Jail in Indio and Krueger to the Southwest Detention Center in Murrietta, where both were held in lieu of $1 million bail.
Krueger refused to waive his Fifth Amendment rights against self-incrimination and made no statements to the detectives who sought to interrogate him. Stapp, however, elected to speak to the investigators and provided them with a host of statements implicating Krueger in the bludgeoning murder of Stange. Three days later, however, after an extensive review, the Riverside County District Attorney’s Office had concluded that Stapp’s statements were yet uncorroborated and that there was insufficient evidence against both Krueger and Stapp to proceed with a prosecution of either of them. They were released but not before investigators had used search warrants to seize the computers at the Marine Corps Base that Krueger had access to, including his cell phone; Stapp’s cell phone and computer; Krueger’s military-issued E-Tool, a communications device; a military-issued foldable shovel often used for digging combat fighting holes and filling sandbags, along with other items from Krueger’s car and residence.
Over the next three months, investigators conducted extensive interviews with people in their circle, including ham radio operators with whom both Krueger and Stange associated, as well as residents of the mobile home park where Krueger and Stapp were living.
Krueger was re-arrested on December 7, and charged with homicide, Penal Code Section 187 based on an affidavit for the arrest warrant prepared in November, granted on December 1 and filed with Riverside County Superior Court on December 6. He is in custody at the Cois M. Byrd Detention Center in French Valley, held in lieu of $1 million bail. He pleaded not guilty to the charge on December 19.
According to Murietta Police Department investigators, in a phone call on August 23, 2018, Krueger and Stapp spoke about Stange’s killing, which has been established as occurring on May 24. That day, Krueger made a 911 call to ask the sheriff’s department carry out a welfare check on Stapp, whom he characterized as mentally unstable. Cell tower connections with Krueger and Stapp’s phones show that both had driven to Stange’s home in Murrieta that day.
It was while there, in Stange’s garage, that Krueger beat Stange severely about the head, which led to his death, though he did not die immediately, as according to Stapp, when they were lifting Stange into the bed of Krueger’s truck, he was get breathing, gasping for air.
“Henry was killed in his garage by blunt force trauma to the head,” according to the arrest warrant affidavit. “Henry’s body was dragged from his garage and placed in a vehicle, which was parked in the driveway.”
Cell tower connections with their phones indicate Krueger and Stapp then drove to Diamond Valley Lake south of Hemet, apparently seeking a place to dispose of the body there before returning to Stange’s home and then going to Twentynine Palms. Ultimately Stange was left in a shallow grave that both of them dug in Joshua Tree.
Accessible records give no indication of Stapp having been rearrested, though the clear implication of the affidavit is that she is an accessory to murder. Her whereabouts are unknown.

Getting dressed for New Year’s Eve parties, is a very exciting chore. After all, the goal is to be stunning and glamorous. Take, for example, a sequined dress, and party heels with rhinestones. Well then, what are you waiting for? The list of what to wear on New Year’s Eve is always tasteful and trendy, and sometimes even worth shopping for if not in your closet. Whatever you choose for that evening out, make it worth your while. Invest in at least two easy pieces, and you’ll actually turn quite a few heads when you walk through the door. Shop for a purse that feels so special, you won’t need jewelry. Try a long floor coat to help make your evening outfit stunning. Incorporate embellished heels, a dazzling skirt/top/dress, and do try a piece of green, as in emerald. There’s one last piece: a classic suit with a pair of pumps or a bowtie. It’s all up to you! Make sure you have enough battery life to snap a picture on your phone in your fun-filled kick-in of the New Year outfit. Because who doesn’t want to look back on the nights when you were wearing these clothes?

Sentinel 12-21-18

By Mark Gutglueck
After a series of missteps and two of its four members having balked earlier that day at doing so, the San Bernardino County Board of Supervisors on Tuesday replaced their recently departed colleague James Ramos with former Yucca Valley Town Councilwoman Dawn Rowe.
The board’s action cements the Republican vice-lock on county government, as Rowe, a registered Republican, moves into the void that was created when Ramos, a Democrat, departed the board on December 3, simultaneous with his taking the oath of office as Assemblyman on December 3. Ramos was originally elected as Third District supervisor, representing Barstow, Big Bear, Twentynine Palms, Yucca Valley, Yucaipa, Redlands, Highland, Loma Linda, Grand Terrace, the eastern portion of the City of San Bernardino, a sliver of Colton and 24 disparate unincorporated county areas, in 2012 and reelected in 2016. Last month, in the general election held in conjunction with California’s gubernatorial race, Ramos outdistanced his Republican rival, San Bernardino City Councilman Henry Nickel, for the 40th District Assembly position. Rowe was chosen to fill out the two years remaining on the supervisor’s term to which he was reelected two years ago.
Prior to his departure to Sacramento, Ramos made clear that his choice to succeed him was Chris Carrillo, a fellow Democrat who had served as his deputy chief of staff from 2012 to 2014 and who returned to that position earlier this year as preparation for what both men hoped would be a final grooming for Carrillo before his move into the Third District post. And though county elected offices are by California law considered to be nonpartisan, in fact in San Bernardino County, party affiliation has been for decades a major deciding factor in who holds those positions. Beginning in the 1960s, San Bernardino County has been a Republican stronghold. From 1966 until 2009, Republicans held a plurality in terms of the numbers of registered voters in the county. In 2009, the number of registered Democrats eclipsed the number of registered Republicans throughout San Bernardino County. Nevertheless, Republicans continued to consistently outperform Democrats at the polls in the county, with the GOP equaling or surpassing the Democrats in terms of the numbers of office holders in the state legislature and in Congress. This year, however, with Ramos’s victory over Nickel, a Democrat displaced the Republican 40th District Assemblyman, Marc Steinorth, who left the Assembly after serving just two terms to make what turned out to be an unsuccessful run for Second District San Bernardino County Supervisor in June. Thus, of the nine Assembly members representing San Bernardino County at present, five are Republicans and four are Democrats, an uncomfortable margin for the GOP. Republicans yet hold four of the six California State Senate offices representing San Bernardino County. However, in the U.S. House of Representatives, four of the county’s five Congressional representatives will be Democrats when the 116th Congress convenes on January 3, 2019. In California Congressional District 39, which includes northeastern Orange County, southeastern Los Angeles County and southwestern San Bernardino County, Republican Ed Royce who had long been the U.S. Representative there, opted to retire. In an extremely close race to replace him, the Democratic standard bearer, Gil Cisneros, edged out the Republican candidate, Young Kim. Cisneros was a Republican until 2008, but left the party because he felt it had become “too ideological.” His current standing as a Democrat leaves San Bernardino County with but a single Republican representative in Congress, Paul Cook.
Despite the lapsing of Republican control over federal offices in San Bernardino County, the Party of Lincoln yet remains in ascendancy in terms of local political offices. In seventeen of the county’s 24 municipalities, Republicans outnumber Democrats on city and town councils. On the board of supervisors, prior to Ramos’s departure, three of that panel’s five members – First District Supervisor and Chairman of the Board of Supervisors Robert Lovingood, Second District Supervisor Janice Rutherford and Fourth District Supervisor Curt Hagman – are Republicans. Like Ramos, Fifth District Supervisor Josie Gonzales is a Democrat.
The county charter empowers the board of supervisors to make an appointment to fill any vacancy that comes about on the board of supervisors, requiring that the individual chosen be a resident of the district to be represented and that the appointment be made within 30 days of the vacancy. The county charter has no provision for the vacancy to be filled through a special election. If the appointment is not made within the 30-day deadline, the power of appointment rests with the governor.
On December 3, James Ramos was sworn into office in Sacramento. By previous arrangement, his resignation as supervisor was to be effectuated simultaneous with his assumption of the assembly position. Thus, the board of supervisors had until January 2 to make an appointment or by default surrender the appointment to the discretion of outgoing California Governor Jerry Brown or incoming Governor Gavin Newsom, who is to be inaugurated on January 7. Both Brown and Newsom are Democrats.
Though the November 6 election was not certified by the San Bernardino County Registrar of Voters until early this month, by the time all of the precincts had reported early November 7 and the only outstanding votes to be counted were from late-arriving mail-in and provisional ballots, Ramos’s lead over Nickel was substantial enough that there was no doubt as to the eventual outcome. Consequently, the members of the board began casting about to create a process by which to choose Ramos’s successor. Almost immediately it became apparent to Ramos that his three Republican colleagues on the board were not likely to honor his preference to be succeeded by Carrillo, but were leaning heavily toward filling the post with a member of their own party. This led to something of a falling out between Ramos and Lovingood, the board chairman at that point. According to individuals in a position to know, harsh and loud words were exchanged between the two men on the fifth floor of the county’s administrative building at 325 North Arrowhead Avenue in Downtown San Bernardino. Described as a brief shouting match, the contretemps was an awkward and unfortunate end to what had been for some six years a cordial and cooperative relationship that began when both were first elected to the board of supervisors in 2012.
The board invited District Three residents to apply for the post, resulting in 48 coming forward. Based upon the responses 43 of those made to a questionnaire accompanying the applications along with their curricula vitae and/or resumes, each of the board members voted behind closed doors by means of each casting votes to demark their ten top choices. Those candidates receiving two or more votes passed muster. In this way the field was reduced to 13: former San Bernardino County Third District Supervisor Dennis L. Hansberger, San Bernardino County Republican Central Committee Chairwoman Janice Leja, Loma Linda City Councilman Ronald Dailey, Former San Bernardino County Fifth District Chief of Staff and Inland Empire Taxpayers Association Founder Chris Mann, San Bernardino Mayor Carey Davis, former Twentynine Palms Mayor Jim Bagley, Loma Linda Mayor Rhodes Rigsby, two-time Congressional candidate Sean Flynn, Barstow Mayor Julie Hackbarth-McIntyre; current Big Bear Councilman/former Chino Councilman William Jahn; current field representative to Republican Congressman Paul Cook/former Yucca Valley Councilwoman Dawn Rowe, former San Bernardino City Councilman Tobin Brinker, former Republican Assemblyman/State Senator Bill Emmerson.
Conspicuous by his absence from the list was Carrillo. An attorney, Ramos’s former and then-current deputy chief of staff who was up-to-date with regard to the issues facing the Third District, a long-time field representative for Senator Dianne Feinstein and an elected official in his own right as a board member of the East Valley Water District, Carrillo was flawed by the consideration that he was a Democrat. The board’s plan was to hold a public forum during which each of the candidates would be allowed to make a short presentation and field questions from the board. Having received only one vote, Carrillo was not provided with an opportunity to participate. Five of the 48 expressing interest in the position had failed to complete all aspects of the application and were therefore rejected outright; thus, a total of 30, including Carrillo, were counted out of consideration without an interview. Twelve of those were Democrats. Of the thirteen who made it to the second round of the selection process, just one, Daily, was a Democrat. Ten were currently registered Republicans. Brinker and Emmerson were unaffiliated with any political party. In the case of Emmerson, who had been a Republican for nearly the entirety of adult life and a Republican during his terms in office as an assemblyman and state senator, he reregistered with no party preference because since leaving the legislature five years ago he had reinvented himself as a lobbyist and in dealing with legislators who are predominantly Democrats had found it to be in his professional interest to have severed his Republican ties.
The thirteen semi-finalists were invited to a forum before the board of supervisors in a specially-called session on Tuesday December 11. In the public comment session before the supervisors had their interaction with the candidates, Ruth Musser-Lopez, a member of the San Bernardino County Democratic Central Committee and an unsuccessful candidate for State Senate in the 16th District in November asserted that there were flaws in the way in which the selection process was being conducted. Most pointedly, she charged that in reducing the field of 48 to 13 the board had polled themselves and voted in secret, which she alleged was a violation of the Ralph M. Brown Act, which prohibits elected officials from discussing or voting upon official public matters in anything other than than a public forum unless the issues dealt with are expressly related to public employee hiring, discipline or termination; pending or ongoing litigation; or negotiations for real estate transactions or employee contract negotiations. The board initially disregarded Musser-Lopez, carrying out over a nearly five hour session that morning and into the afternoon interviews and exchanges with the 13 candidates, thereafter eliminating seven of the candidates and conducting public polling amongst themselves in which Lovingood endorsed Sean Flynn, William Jahn, Janice Leja, Rhodes Rigsby and Dawn Rowe; Rutherford voted for William Emmerson, Flynn, Jahn, Rigsby, and Rowe; Hagman selected Emmerson, Flynn, Chris Mann, Rigsby and Rowe; and Gonzales favored Jim Bagley, Ron Daily, Julie Hackbarth-McIntyre, William Jahn and Rowe. With the threshold being that to advance a candidate needed to log two votes, Emmerson, Flynn, Jahn, Rigsby and Rowe qualified as finalists with Rowe scoring four votes; Rigsby, Flynn and Jahn bagging three votes and Emmerson claiming two in the District Three Supervisor sweepstakes. The board then scheduled another specially-called meeting for December 13, at which it was intimated one of the five would be selected to serve the next two years as Ramos’s replacement.
The evening of December 11, however, Musser-Lopez, reiterated her objections in writing, labeling it a “complaint.” In the letter, sent to the supervisors and the office of county counsel through the clerk of the board, she asserted, “On December 10-11, 2018, you the members of the county board of supervisors in concert and individually violated the Ralph M. Brown Act specifically CA Gov. Code, § 54953.5 when you did cast preliminary votes secretly, without a process agreed upon by the public and without publicly disclosing the votes of the individual supervisors to the public.” She said that “the public was left out of the selection process, some applicants were not invited to address the board and were not allowed equal time, and due to the illegal polling, board members knew which applicants were ‘winning’ prior to their vote.” Musser-Lopez said this led to the board members “knowing in advance which applicants were preferred by the other members” and “wrongfully influencing their vote without public knowledge or intervention,” such that “a majority of the board” had been able to illegally “develop a collective concurrence as to action to be taken” and had furthermore engaged in private communications with one another through the use of secret ballots that were tantamount to a “serial meeting,” which is also outlawed by the Brown Act.
Musser-Lopez demanded that the board of supervisors cure the violation by voiding the December 11 vote and voiding “any other serial votes by members of the board of supervisors on December 10 and 11, 2018 and that to be voted on December 13, 2018 pertaining to the selection of a replacement supervisor for the 3rd District.” She called upon the board of supervisors to “cure and correct” the prohibited acts by providing “an opportunity for all applicants to be invited to give a speech and allowed the same amount of time provided the unlawful slate of 13 candidates that were improperly selected by serial voting and secret ballots on December 10, 2018.”
Somewhere within her three-page letter, Musser-Lopez hit a nerve. When the board convened the morning of December 13, the proceedings lasted a mere 58 seconds and were gaveled to a close by Board Chairman Lovingood, after County Counsel Michelle Blakemore, the county’s top in-house attorney, referenced the Brown Act violation accusations and said, “Our recommendation is that the board take absolutely no action today and that the meeting be adjourned and we will bring an item back on Tuesday for consideration.”
Percolating over the weekend were the issues Musser-Lopez had raised as well as her further public utterances to the effect that the board was limiting its candidates to the white, affluent and Republican country club set, while excluding a large swath of the Third District’s unrepresented masses. Simultaneously, the board majority had not abandoned its determination to ensure that the Republican establishment maintains its primacy within San Bernardino County’s government structure. Chastened by the events of the preceding few days, they resolved to make certain that the selection process would meet all legal requirements and prevent any further challenges that would conceivably remove the Third District supervisor replacement process to the governor’s office.
Further discussion and possible action on the appointment was scheduled as the final item on the agenda for the regularly scheduled meeting this week on Tuesday December 18. After moving through all of the previous items on the agenda, the board took up the reconsideration of the appointment.
In partial deference to Musser-Lopez’s complaint and demands, the board rescinded the action it had taken on December 11, theoretically reopening the field of candidates to include not just the five or 13, but potentially all 43 who returned fully completed applications, all 48 who had taken out applications or anyone of the age of majority living within the Third District who was registered to vote.
Before taking that action, Board Chairman Lovingood offered his version of what he and his colleagues had done and an explanation of what they were purposed to do.
“When the board of supervisors started this process, it took great lengths to ensure an open process by having ads placed in multiple newspapers soliciting to fill the vacancy,” Lovingood said. “We went far and wide to make sure this would be known. At the close of the application period, fifty-two had expressed interest in the position, of which 48 were actually qualified as electors. As a supplement, response to materials for response to questions garnered a reply by 43 of the original applicants. The supervisors chose to interview 13 and established a list of five finalists. Following written and email correspondence received on the 12th and the 13th challenging the process undertaken by the board it is recommended we establish the interview list of 13 and the final list of five be rescinded and the process amended for the selection of the Third District member of the board. The recommended actions will cure and correct any alleged procedural errors and afford the board an opportunity at this meeting to move forward in the discussion process.”
Among those who spoke during public comments was one of the applicants, Treasure Ortiz.
“I’m extremely disappointed in how this was conducted,” said Ortiz. “I super agree with you. You guys outreached to the community for the applicants to apply. But in that, you decided not to put forth a process that was completely transparent, and you knew it. You continued with it. Counsel told you not to set criteria, but you did it anyways. You didn’t tell us what it was. You just called the clerk of the board and told her who you wanted. You ought to rectify it, but you’re breaking, in the midst of breaking the law. You are bound by an act. So to say, ‘Mea culpa. We’re sorry. Now we’re going to wipe this clean” – You need to go above and beyond that. You have a responsibility to the 400,000 people in this district who voted for James Ramos, who voted for an agenda and now want to see that is adhered to. Everybody who applied needs to be publicly shown to the voters. It affects your district. It affects our district. To do anything less is disrespectful. It’s wrong. We come here today to do our civic duty, to be a part of the process, and to be denied that, myself or anybody… We have large shoes to fill. We have to make sure that we stand by what people are asking of us, without a vote. This is the worst case of taking away democracy from people and then shoving it in their face and saying ‘We’re going to make jokes. Give me resumes and I’ll vet through.’ Well that’s exactly what you did. After it hadn’t been asked specifically, ‘How do we fill this vacancy if Ramos were to vacate?’ nobody wanted to talk about that but then days later you appoint a field rep to be a point of contact without any public discussion. We submitted, letters, resumes and answers to questions that you guys asked for but never made available to the public. This is supposed to be open. I ask that you today interview everybody. This should be a long and arduous task. This should take days because this is a big, big decision on behalf of people you don’t represent.”
Several speakers said they were in favor of Carrillo.
Supervisor Curt Hagman said, “I understand we’re pretty much starting over. I’d like to put two or three names in a hat right now, each from the total list and then if you want follow up questions we can. If we don’t, we can make a motion, whatever the case may be.”
Supervisor Janice Rutherford endorsed Hagman’s suggest. “We’ve all done a thorough review of all 43 applications, including people that we’ve interviewed, all of the reading we’ve done and the background work that each of us and our staffs did individually. I would be prepared to offer a handful of names also. Then we could decide to further question if we have questions or move on today.”
Supervisor Gonzales said, “I realize this is the final opportunity to ask some tough questions. If there were an election, candidates would be asked questions about their positions on various issues. They would be asked questions about their voting record. Residents would have time to learn about each candidate’s background and their political affiliations, priorities, goals and all those kinds of things. There would be time for all of that. In the absence of a campaign, I believe I owe it to the residents to ask difficult questions and I would like that opportunity and I have stated this to my colleagues already, so there may be an opportunity for the residents to hear honest answers and have those answers be on the record before we make a selection.”
Gonzales indicated she “wanted to go in a different direction” from what had occurred, that is, having interviews with a subset of the candidates who applied. She would have preferred, she said, “to have interviews with each and every candidate, as you all know. I want you to know I love our government structure and that when the majority of my colleagues voted against me, I honor that. We all have to honor that. I think it’s important. There’s value to adhering to a process. I want to be able today to look at all of the applicants and be able to say ‘This is an open process. I am considering each and every one.’” Gonzales said she recognized the others were intent on moving forward with the nominations of just two or three names each and had resigned herself to that.
Asserting “moving forward today is our responsibility” and that he had like the other members of the board thoroughly considered the merits of the candidates based on their submissions while resisting being lobbied, Lovingood said, “At this time, unless there is some other preference, I am prepared to make a motion.” Pausing briefly, he said, “I make a motion to nominate Dawn Rowe as the replacement for the Third District.” Rutherford seconded the motion. Without a voice vote being audible, Lovingood indicated that the support for Rowe was 2-to-2, which was insufficient to approve Rowe’s appointment.
Lovingood then sought to proceed with Hagman’s call for each of the board members to nominate three candidates each. Gonzales asked that before any vote was taken on those to be nominated that a round of questioning of those nominated take place. The board members at Lovingood’s motion and Hagman’s second then submitted three names each. Lovingood nominated Bill Jahn, Dawn Rowe and Rhodes Rigsby; Supervisor Rutherford nominated Dawn Rowe, Sean Flynn and Bill Emmerson; Supervisor Hagman nominated Bill Jahn, Dawn Rowe and Sean Flynn; and Supervisor Gonzales nominated Bill Jahn, Dawn Rowe and Chris Carrillo. All of those nominated were invited forward to respond to questions. Because Carrillo had not been interviewed last week, he was permitted to introduce himself and give an overview of his experience. For the most part, the questioning of Carrillo, Jahn, Rigsby, and Flynn was polite and extended to the issues of their experience and expertise, covering the same issues they had spoken to in their interview on December 11. Emmerson, a dentist by profession, and Rigsby, a physician, were asked about a recent court ruling that called into question whether the Affordable Care Act will remain in place. Gonzales asked Emmerson a pointed question about his decision in 2013 to resign from the California State Senate and a statement he made to the effect that he had lost his passion for his work and his interest in politics had waned. “What would you say to the constituents of the Third District today, some of which are in your former senate district, to convince them that you have found your passion once again for public service?” Gonzales probed.
“The temperament and the temperature of Sacramento is incredibly partisan,” Emmerson said. “It became very difficult to work in that system, and I lost my passion because of that. This is a different situation that we can all work together in a collaborative manner.”
Gonzales was similarly aggressive in her exchange with Rowe.
“You currently work for Congressman Paul Cook,” Gonzales began. “Congressman Cook is and has been a long time friend of mine and San Bernardino County. He has carried bills for us both at the state level and at the federal level in Congress. Many of the issues we face here at the county have to do with politics imposed on us by state and in this case federal government. There are many congressmen we don’t always see eye-to-eye with and I dare say we don’t always see eye-to-eye with Congressman Cook. If appointed to the Third District supervisorial seat, how would you demonstrate that you will act independent of Congressman Cook? How would you assure the residents of the Third District that you would fight for what’s in their best interest even if it might be contrary to what the federal government has as policy or Congressman Cook’s position? Will there be, in other words, strings attached?”
Rowe said, “No, bluntly. If you know Congressman Cook – I’ve worked for him for ten years – You have to have a backbone to be in the job we have, and I have no problem clearly stating my opinion and thoughts to anyone, to include Congressman Cook.” She cited the example of her differences with Cook, who is a retired Marine lieutenant colonel, with regard to the clash between the Marine Corps and off-road enthusiasts over restrictions on the use of the desert expanse stretching into Johnson Valley, which the Marine Corps uses for training purposes. As an off-road enthusiast herself, Rowe said she stood her ground with Cook in reminding him that as a congressman he is a representative of the people of the 8th Congressional District and not the Marine Corps and that he needed to be sensitive to his constituents’ needs. She said a compromise was worked out with regard to recreational access in a major swath of Johnson Valley as a result.
She further asserted that her conservative Republic leanings would not interfere with her service to her constituents. “I have a party registration but on this non-partisan seat I bring with me certain ideologies but more of an open mind,” she said. “My party and my affiliations are insignificant when it comes to fighting for what is right for this county.”
Rowe told the board that if she were chosen as Ramos’s replacement, “I would be accessible. I think it is important to have accessibility to our constituents, to you as a board, to the staff members, to the county employees and various departments within the county.” She said she would “put my brainpower to the different challenges we face in the county” and that she would use “creativity perseverance and tenacity” to benefit the Third District along with the “ability to communicate effectively with an open mind.”
She said she is able to sugarcoat the bitter pill of government.
“One of the things I have learned in my time in working with the public is to have empathy for them,” she said. “It is very difficult sometimes to tell a person, ‘No.’ But if you can communicate it effectively and with empathy it’s better received and people understand it.”
Rowe made a favorable impression with Gonzales, who told her “You’ve done an extraordinary job of coming out of the woodwork. You were one of the surprises I was looking for. And I think it commends the years of dedication that you’ve invested.”
Rowe was the last of the six candidates interviewed on Tuesday. Immediately after her exchange with the board, without entering into any discussion with regard to the relative merits of the applicants, Lovingood made a motion to appoint her to the Third District supervisors post. Again, Rutherford seconded the motion. When Hagman immediately voted in favor of the motion, the outcome was obvious and Gonzales voted to make Rowe’s appointment unanimous.
A Southern California native, Rowe was married to a Marine captain, Alan Rowe, with whom she had a son and a daughter. They had lived at various Marine and Naval installations and established a residence in Yucca Valley when her husband had been stationed at the Twentynine Palms Marine Base. On September 3, 2004, her husband was on his second deployment back to Iraq when he was killed in action while securing a bridge in Anbar province. She decided to remain in Yucca Valley and raise her children there. It was in seeking to make a way for herself and her children, she said, that she ventured into politics.
“I got involved in subdividing property and became frustrated with the process,” she said. “I went to who was then my mayor, Chad Mayes, and didn’t know anything about politics or anything else and he appointed me to the planning commission and said, ‘If you want to make a difference, this is how you do it.’ And then I was defeated with some of my projects at the council level and decided if I wanted to really make a difference I needed to run to implement those changes, specifically in land use. Then, at some point along the way I met Paul Cook and went to work for him as a field rep.”
Rowe is a creature of what many refer to as the “Yucca Valley Theocracy.” The two most influential political entities in the Town of Yucca Valley are the 3,500-member Joshua Springs Calvary Chapel with its senior pastor, Jarel Hagerman, and the smaller Grace Community Church with its pastor, Roger Mayes. Both Hagerman and Mayes have tremendous influence over their respective congregations, at the very least swaying elections if not outright controlling the political tempo of the town. Jarel Hagerman’s son, Isaac, was elected to the town council, rising to the position of mayor pro tem, serving along with Rowe and Chad Mayes. Roger Mayes is Chad Mayes’ father. Roger Mayes is himself an elected official, serving on the Hi Desert Water District. Together Jarel Hagerman and Roger Mayes, who share similar conservative Republican political ideologies, are credited with being able to dependably deliver upwards of 2,500 votes to the candidates they endorse in the town’s municipal elections. Yucca Valley has roughly 11,400 registered voters. Typically, 5,500 to 6,000 voters turn out to vote in November elections held in presidential election years in Yucca Valley and 3,800 to 4,200 in gubernatorial election years. Dawn Rowe is a Joshua Springs Calvary Chapel congregant and was supported by both Hagerman and Mayes in her election to the town council.
The Yucca Valley Theocracy has supported Paul Cook, who is neither a parishoner of Joshua Springs Chapel nor Grace Community Church but rather a Catholic who attends Mass, when he is in Yucca Valley, at St. Mary of the Valley. Cook’s political philosophy over the years aligned itself in most particulars with that espoused by Hagerman and Mayes.
That political philosophy has had practical consequences for Yucca Valley.
The town is one of two of San Bernardino County’s municipalities without a sewer system, relying entirely upon septic systems. In 2001, Yucca Valley town officials were notified by the state’s Regional Water Quality Control Board that the lack of a sewage treatment system in the town had resulted in nitrates accumulating in the water table underlying Yucca Valley. Simultaneously, the Hi-Desert Water District, which serves the Yucca Valley community, experienced nitrate traces in district wells. Because of the expense of constructing such a system, local officialdom did not respond with alacrity to the warning. State officials grew increasingly more and more firm in suggesting and then telling Yucca Valley town and Hi-Desert Water District officials that the water contamination issue needed to be addressed, at last issuing a compliance order that the town begin construction on a sewer system such that the first phase of a three-phase wastewater system was to be be completed or significantly on its way to completion by May 19, 2016 or enforcement action would be initiated. This was met by a community-wide outcry against “unfunded mandates” being imposed by liberal bureaucrats in Democratic-dominated Sacramento. The Yucca Valley Theocracy and Cook, while he was yet in the Assembly and later in Congress, were major purveyors of rhetoric being consumed at the local level in Yucca Valley suggesting that the state was engaged in impermissible government overreach and that the water contamination abatement orders were unlawful and unconstitutional meddling by outsiders that would not be enforceable.
In 2012, Yucca Valley voters, yet under the sway of Mayes and Hagerman’s vision of their town as a bastion of right-thinking fundamentalist Christian conservatives holding the line against the encroachment of secular liberalism, rejected Measure U, which if passed would have imposed a one-cent sales tax within Yucca Valley, the lion’s share of the proceeds from which would have, town officials said, gone toward building the sewer system.
It was only when it became clear that the state was determined to use draconian measures to obtain compliance, by either methodically moving to seal off every septic system in use within Yucca Valley, essentially rendering the affected homes inhabitable, or to otherwise utilize an enforcement action done in a lottery fashion in which random property owners who did not discontinue the discharge from their septic systems and seal them off would be selected to receive cease and desist orders with the potential of daily fines of up to $5,000 per day for non-compliance, that local officials got off top dead center and provisions were made to bring the town into accord with state standards.
In 2014, Chad Mayes, Roger Mayes’ son, vied successfully for 42nd District Assemblyman. In Sacramento, young Mayes was given a strong dose of political and practical reality. While the exact nature of his private conversations with his father are unknown, on his trips back to his district from the state capital he was apparently able to convince the Reverend Mayes, a board member with the Hi-Desert Water District, that people in Yucca Valley cannot continue to micturate and defecate in their drinking water supply, that continuing to insist they can do just that is a threat to not only the community’s health but its reputation statewide and that the rural standards of public hygiene that were applied in a remote desert location in the middle of the Twentieth Century will not suffice as that community urbanizes in the Twenty-First Century.
In 2015, Roger Mayes did not oppose an effort to form an assessment district to build the town’s sewer system. By a significant margin, Yucca Valley voters passed the measure, which was conducted by mail ballot voting.
On the May 13, 2015 deadline for the return of the ballots, 5,488 of the 10,326 ballots mailed out had been returned. Of those 5,488 ballots received, 4,942 were deemed valid, with 546 being rejected because the ballots were improperly filled out.
The tallying of the ballots was not based upon the simple number of votes for or against approving the sewer system assessments. Rather, each of the ballots was accorded weight based on the proposed assessment value of the property owned by the voter. Under this measure, 72 percent of those responding, representing $49.1 million in estimated property value, favored the levying of the assessments, while 28 percent, speaking for $18.9 million in property value, voted against the formation of the district.
The community’s relatively late resolve to fund the sewer system project left it somewhat behind the eight ball in terms of whether it would be able to meet the first May 2016 deadline.
The State Water Resources Control Board, examining the reality of the situation, concluded that the Hi-Desert Water District would not be able to complete enough of the project to allow any part of the community to stop septic discharge within the previously imposed time deadline. Recognizing, however, that the Yucca Valley community, by means of the May 2015 vote, had begun the process of designing and building the system, the State Water Resources Control Board dispensed with the May 2016 deadline and extended the deadline for the first phase’s completion until June 30, 2021.
The Yucca Valley sewer system is now moving toward completion.
One aspect of the Third District supervisor selection process demonstrated the degree to which Dawn Rowe was willing to alter her personal guideposts to match the expectations of those who are now her board colleagues.
On December 11, 2018 Lovingood asked her, “If you receive the appointment, would it be your intent to run again or is that something to be decided midstream? Where are you on that thought?”
Rowe responded, “So, when my husband died I stopped planning. I had a great plan that extended out into my retirement years and long term planning for me [now] is about six months. So, right or wrong, it is where God has taken me in my life, and I have no plans necessarily to seek election. But then to be honest with you, I wasn’t seeking election to the town council when I moved to Yucca Valley, either. So, in all fairness, no, it is not part of my long term plan. Could it be possible if the citizens maybe advocate for that if I was doing an effective job as the appointed supervisor? Possibly, but it’s not necessarily a part of my plan.”
A week later, Tuesday December 18, Supervisor Gonzales said, “It came to my attention whether it was gossip, or innuendo or scuttlebutt, that somehow you were being prompted or promoted to submit your application because it was Congressman Cook’s intent to run for Third District supervisor in 2020 and that you would be used as a placeholder. I called Congressman Cook and I spoke to him. I spoke to him very directly about my concern. He assured me that he did not have any intent to throw his hat in the ring for Third District supervisor in the year 2020. I’m saying this for the record. And I told him that although I am termed out in 2020 and if God gives me life and anything happens to the contrary I will come back and call him out.”
To that, Rowe said, “I was asked if I would run again outside this board. In going forward I was asked the same question here, ‘Would I seek election to this seat in 2020?’ My answer, truly from the heart is, ‘I really don’t like to plan long term because it is painful when it doesn’t happen. However, I said, in all candor, and I used Chad Mayes and Paul Cook, I said I would like to run for the seat, but you never know what happens in politics. Who is to say, that for example – and this was a private conversation that was apparently repeated or through gossip or however it came to your knowledge or was repeated differently – but what happens when someone like Congressman Cook or Assemblyman Mayes change course in their careers and they decide they should seek that seat, I would absolutely defer to their experience and what they would bring to the table and I would not run again, in that example. That was an answer I gave to a colleague of mine. I was being truthful at that time. I would not run against them for this position, when we were talking. I felt I was being deferential to their experience coming back to the county level. And that was it. So, Congressman Cook intends to run for Congress again. He is actively pursuing that. There is no deviation in that course, internally, externally or otherwise. That is his intent, and he and I have not had a conversation, nor has anyone on our staff to the contrary. So, I just want to assuage that concern.”
Gonzales sought clarification, asking Rowe, “So, for the record, you are saying you would not run against Congressman Cook or Assembly Member Chad Mayes?”
Rowe sought to deflect the question, saying “Wouldn’t that be spicy? I’m not saying that for the record. I was asked that last week.”
Gonzales pressed her, saying, “I’m asking you that now.”
“I would certainly run against either of them,” Rowe said.
After she was selected by the board, Rowe further reflected her readiness to live up to her new colleagues’ expectations, saying, “I’d just like to thank everyone present, the citizens. I look forward to representing all of you with an open mind and with all of the energy that I have to do an effective job for the Third District. I’d like to thank the chairman and the board for the opportunity to continue this term and I look forward to running in 2020.”

Jason O’Brien has been elevated to the position of president of the Fontana School Board, two years after he was elected to the panel overseeing the 37,000-student Fontana Unified School District and its 29 elementary schools, seven middle schools, seven high schools and an adult school as part of a reformist wave two years ago.
“I am honored to have been elected as the new Fontana Unified School Board president for 2018-2019,” O’Brien said. “As the very first African-American elected to serve in this role, I am indebted to the spirit of the ‘American Dream,’ which I believe is important to the motivation and perseverance of all children.”
O’Brien’s assumption of the board president duties follows by a little less than two months another school board election that saw the district shed incumbent Matt Slowik, while hanging on to Mary Sandoval, Mars Serna and Adam Perez.
O’Brien now heads the district’s trustees, who include Peter Garcia, also elected in 2016.
Having run on a platform of enhancing campus security, eliminating bullying and intimidation among students and emphasizing the district’s math and science curriculum with an eye toward training future engineers and physicians, O’Brien has passed his two-year milestone with some satisfaction at what has been achieved so far but looking to double down on that commitment.
“In this newly acquired leadership role, I intend to work hard on behalf of Fontana students by addressing pertinent issues that have been identified by parents and community stakeholders, which include more student intervention programs, continued access to local mentors and leaders, improved student achievement in the areas of math and science, and more financial scholarship opportunities,” O’Brien said. “Our students need to be exposed early on to the possible career opportunities that await them in the fields of science, technology, engineering and math. Through partnerships with Inland Empire businesses and academic institutions, Fontana students will have access to internships and summer programs that provide the foundation for learning and foster an interest in these areas.”
Part of his role as board president, O’Brien said, will entail getting the word out so those who are not taking full advantage of what the district has to offer will avail themselves of the awaiting opportunities.
“Over the past couple of years, I think our board of education leaders have been effective in being visible and accessible to staff and district,” he said. “I plan to continue this level of access as the new president, and to go a step further by publicizing the great achievements of our district to the community at large. A great deal of positive information about the academic achievement of our students goes unnoticed, and I want to work with our board and superintendent to increase the spotlight on these important accomplishments. Many working and commuting residents don’t visit the district’s social media platforms and websites, so we have to find more creative ways to get the word out.”
O’Brien, who is employed as a detective with the Los Angeles Police Department and is married to a former school board member, said “For the most part, I believe the majority of Fontana residents understand how much has been accomplished under our current leadership. The election on November 6th resulted in the re-election of two out of three board of education incumbents. This is reassuring. As a board, we are very diverse in our professional experiences, backgrounds and education. This is something that benefits the community tremendously, and I consider it one of our greatest strengths. The various perspectives that we bring to the table help us empathize and understand the challenges faced by our students. This is something that evidently resonates with our community as well.”
Under his watch, O’Brien said, the district’s faculty and staff will not lose focus on the fundamental mission of Fontana’s schools, which is to educate students so that as they mature they will be equipped to make their way in the world.
“One of the key areas that we continue working to improve are student test scores,” O’Brien said. “We want the majority of our students to be proficient or advanced in the core subjects, and although we are not quite there, we are encouraged by the increase in test scores each year that we continue to see. For example, the percentage of Fontana Unified District students that met or exceeded proficiency in English language arts increased by five percent from 2017 to 2018, and in math we increased by nearly four percent.”
In years past, Fontana’s municipal political leadership had a firm grip on the district, and the mayor and city council dominated, for the most part, the school board. That is no longer the case and in recent weeks, Fontana’s mayor, Acquanetta Warren, made statements somewhat critical of the state of education in the city, which were widely interpreted as criticism of the school district and the school board. Warren said she was declaring a “state of emergency” with regard to education in the city and was ready to “go to war” to “fix” the problem.
O’Brien sought to avoid overreaction to what some considered a political provocation.
“I think that when any community leader or elected official perceives there to be a problem, then the response should be to promote collaboration and cooperation, as opposed to adopting an adversarial stance that projects a combative spirit. We must remain professional and level-headed because our community counts on us to do so. Using words like ‘war’ to describe anything affiliated with children, families and school district personnel is not something I would recommend. Everyone is entitled to his or her perception and opinion; however, it is important that we not politicize education and attempt to incite fear to manipulate voters.”
O’Brien cited some district achievements to drive home his assertion that the situation is not as dire as the mayor was suggesting.
“In addition to improved test scores, we have also been recognized for other noteworthy recent achievements,” O’Brien said. “Southridge Middle School is one of only 40 schools in the United States to be named a Microsoft Showcase School for transformational leadership and the improvement of student outcomes. Dorothy Grant and Chaparral Elementary are the first two schools in the Inland Empire to become “Code to the Future Schools” – the nation’s leading immersive science curricula that engages students in technology-and-coding based lessons. California Assemblyman Freddie Rodriguez named school counselor Julie Bello ‘2018 Educator of the Year’ for her success in using mini robots to teach students leadership skills and instill college and career readiness. The Fontana Unified School District and the San Bernardino County Superintendent of Schools named Theresa Pearce ‘Teacher of the Year’ for her guidance that led students to win California State and local science competitions.”
When the Sentinel suggested that O’Brien might use Mayor Warren’s declaration as an opportunity to press her and other city officials to back up her characterization by earmarking a portion of the city’s treasury to fund education programs to augment the district’s function, he said, “I don’t see this as a budget issue, as most of the district funding comes from the state. I interpret the recent public remarks that you mentioned to be an attempt at undermining confidence in the district’s leadership. This is being done for political reasons, and not in the interest of children. There are important issues in our city to be addressed. Just the other day, my wife and I went for a walk on the Fontana Pacific Electric Trail, and sidestepped a number homeless residents lying on the ground. I would be very encouraged if the city’s leadership openly declared war on poverty and homelessness, and began focusing its efforts in that direction.”
O’Brien indicated he thought it best that both the city and the district devote themselves and the focus of their elected leaderships and staffs to their respective duties. Just as he did not believe the city or its mayor should be trying to second guess the district or the school board when it comes to administering and managing Fontana’s schools, he did not see it as his place to be critical of the city’s accommodation of developmental interests. A primary consequence of the city’s willingness to go along with intensive and aggressive land use is an expansion in residential development that has put Fontana, now at a population of 210,000, on the brink of eclipsing San Bernardino as the county’s largest city. This has carried with it an enlarging student population which some believe is burdening the school district.
Asked if he thought Mayor Warren and her city council colleagues were in some measure responsible for the problems in the city’s educational system about which she has been so vocal as of late because the city in the past failed to impose upon the developers profiting by the development that has occurred in Fontana sufficient requirements to offset the burdens on the district that development entails, O’Brien said, “The number of students in the district is not a problem for us. We are not experiencing overcrowding for the most part. More than 85 percent of our students are socioeconomically disadvantaged, and so there are many built-in challenges that accompany children living in poverty. This is why the city leadership should focus its attention addressing homeless, economic development, and attracting middle class jobs. Our students have less of a hill to climb when their basic needs are met.”

The hopes of hundreds of San Antonio Heights residents that the court system, to which they had turned as a final refuge, would undo their consignment last year into a fire service taxing arrangement they were not permitted to vote upon were dashed this week. On Tuesday, Superior Court Judge David Cohn offered his tentative ruling that the City of Upland, the County of San Bernardino and the county agency that hashes out jurisdictional disputes followed the proper internal governmental procedures in shutting down Upland’s municipal fire department last year and brokering a shotgun marriage by which all of Upland and the neighboring community of San Antonio Heights were wedded to a fire protection zone formed more than a decade previously by the desert communities of Helendale and Silverlakes.
San Antonio Heights is some 47 miles distant as the crow flies or at least 64 miles away in terms of driving distance from Helendale and Silverlakes and separated from those communities lying between Victorville and Barstow by both the San Gabriel Mountain Range and a considerable expanse of desert.
The placement of all of the landowners in San Antonio Heights into that fire protection zone entailed the rerouting of the property tax already being paid by that community’s residents and property owners which covered the cost of the fire protection service they were previously receiving to other governmental uses and imposed on them a $153-per year per parcel assessment by which the county fire department’s operations are now being defrayed.
In Upland, the municipal fire department, which had existed from shortly after the city’s 1906 incorporation, was shuttered and the county’s fire division took possession of the city’s fire equipment and vehicles, as well as its facilities, which included four fire stations within its 15.66 square miles. In San Antonio Heights, an unincorporated county area which had previously received its fire service from the county fire division, little appreciable difference in how the county operated its fire division within its 2.619 square mile confines occurred, although some of the equipment, vehicles and personnel which had been previously staged at the San Antonio Heights Fire Station and devoted for what were more or less exclusive operations in that community are now also used to cover the northeastern quadrant of Upland, where one of the city’s former fire stations has been closed. San Antonio Heights residents contend that change has made their community less safe than it had been before it was forced into the takeover arrangement with the Helendale/Silverlakes fire protection service zone, known by the county’s nomenclature as Fire Protection Zone Five or FP-5, for short.
Neither Upland’s residents nor those living in San Antonio Heights were given the opportunity to approve the arrangement. Rather, at the behest of the Upland City Council and the San Bernardino County Board of Supervisors, which serves as the county’s fire board, that matter was entrusted to the San Bernardino County Local Agency Formation Commission, the department of county government which oversees jurisdictional issues, agency formations, boundary disputes and annexations. The Local Agency Formation Commission, referred to by its acronym LAFCO, conducted a so-called protest procedure to ratify the imposition of the service zone and accompanying assessments.
This protest procedure consisted of the San Bernardino County Local Agency Formation Commission’s inviting property owners and voters within each of the jurisdictions – Upland and San Antonio Heights – to lodge letters of protest against the annexation. Each protest letter received was to be counted as a single vote against the annexation. Any resident or voter not lodging a letter of protest was presumed to have voted to accept the annexation. Under the protest procedure rules, if 25 to 50 percent of the voters or land owners within the combined jurisdictions protested the annexation, a traditional vote using ballots by which those supporting the annexation would vote yes and those opposing it would vote no would be staged. If more than 50 percent had registered protests, then the annexation would have failed outright. If fewer than 25 percent lodged protests, the annexation was deemed valid. While more than 25 percent of the residents/landowners in San Antonio Heights registered objections to the annexation, no opposition approaching that number manifested in 76,000 population Upland. LAFCO refused to allow the protest tally to be bifurcated between San Antonio Heights and Upland, and with the total protest letters for the combined communities falling below the 25 percent threshold, the annexation was declared to have been ratified, such that the inclusion of the two communities into Zone FP-5 and its accompanying assessment district was allowed to proceed.
A critical mass of San Antonio Heights 3,370 residents, resentful of what was being foisted upon them after they had rallied what they had been led to believe was a sufficient expression of protest among their numbers to force government officials to provide them with the opportunity to have a straightforward up and down vote on whether they were to be annexed into FP-5, under the auspices of the San Antonio Heights Homeowners Association involving over 400 San Antonio Heights residents, retained Upland-based attorney Cory Briggs. Briggs filed suit on the association’s behalf in an effort to prevent the annexation from proceeding.
Purposefully, the lawsuit was filed prior to the completion of the processing of the annexation application and LAFCO’s ratification of it to foreclose any argument that the effort to prevent the service responsibility transition had come about too late and would impose an unacceptable hardship on either or both the city and the county to undo the closure of the Upland Fire Department and the transition of that entity’s fire protection service to the county fire division. The plaintiffs therefore asked that the court enjoin the city and county from actuating the shutdown of the city department and the takeover by the county. In response, the three separate legal teams representing the county, city and the Local Agency Formation Commission asked the judge hearing the case, San Bernardino County Superior Court Judge David Cohn, to allow the annexation to proceed, expressing doubt that the plaintiffs would prevail but offering assurances that if the plaintiffs successfully contested the takeover, that refunds of the collected assessments could be made at that time, the City of Upland could simply resume operation of its fire department and the county would return to its previous arrangement of offering service to the San Antonio Heights community outside of the rubric of the fire service zone associated with Helendale and Silverlakes. Judge Cohn acceded to the position of the county, city and LAFCO, and did not block the closure of the Upland Department or the annexation.
Briggs proceeded with the suit, asserting that the annexation of both the city and San Antonio Heights into FS-5 was an illegal ploy intended to allow the city and county to impose what was tantamount to a new tax on their residents without having to meet the requirement of allowing those upon whom the tax was to be imposed an opportunity approve the assessment, as is normally required under California law and the California Constitution. The “protest vote” is not an actual vote, according to Briggs. “The special tax is invalid because it is not first being voted on by the city’s and San Antonio Height’s registered voters,” the Writ of Mandate filed by Briggs on behalf of the homeowners association stated. “The county is authorizing the levy of the special tax without first submitting the tax for a vote by the general electorate. To the extent the county is requiring the property owners to lodge a formal protest before exercising its right to the franchise, such requirement unlawfully abridges the electorate’s right to vote on the special tax.”
The Local Agency Formation Commission disregarded the legal action and imposed the FP-5 zone on Upland and San Antonio Heights, interpreting the percentage of dissenters in San Antonio Heights and Upland to be insufficient to prevent the annexation from occurring.
In response to the suit, the city, represented by attorneys James Markman and Ginetta L. Giovinco, the county, represented by Laura L. Crane, and the Local Agency Formation Commission, represented by Jeffrey Dunn, staked their assertion of the legality and enforceability of the assessment district on the precedent-setting case of Sunset Beach v. Orange County LAFCO. In the Sunset Beach case, an appellate court ruled against a small population of residents living in Sunset Beach, an unincorporated county area in Orange County adjoining and partially surrounded by the City of Huntington Beach. Those citizens objected to being annexed to the city with the requirement that they also pay preexisting Huntington Beach special assessment district taxes. Those Sunset Beach residents maintained they had not voted on the assessments and therefore should not be forced to pay them. After the trial court agreed with the plaintiffs on the grounds that Proposition 218 protected them against taxes that they had not voted on, the Orange County Local Agency Formation Commission appealed to an appellate court, which ruled that the Sunset Beach residents had to accept the assessments once they were a part of the city.
In the Sunset Beach case, the property was annexed into a nearby and adjacent jurisdiction and the appellate court held that Proposition 218’s protection does not apply to improvement assessments already in place. Briggs sought to make an issue of the consideration that Upland and San Antonio Heights were not immediately adjacent to either Silverlakes and Helendale, a distinguishing characteristic from the Sunset Beach case. Furthermore, Briggs maintains, the FP-5 assessments are not being levied to create improvements but rather to fund the operation of the fire department.
Judge Cohn last year ruled that the proximity of the original district to the area annexed was not a decisive factor in determining the legitimacy of the annexation and Briggs was unable convince the Fourth District Court of Appeal to reverse Cohn with regard to that issue.
There were yet, however, principles in the legal action larger than those pertaining strictly to San Antonio Heights, Upland, the county fire department, LAFCO and the county at play in the suit, in particular, whether the governing body of a separate entity, such as in this case the Upland City Council, could initiate an annexation process that had a direct impact on an entity over which it otherwise had no authority, as in this case San Antonio Heights, and could imposed on that entity an outcome inimical to the wishes of the vast majority of those who make up the second entity, as in this case the residents of San Antonio Heights. Moreover, there were technical issues with regard to the way in which the city, the county and the Local Agency Formation Commission had undertaken the annexation, such as utilizing governmental authority normally reserved for creating or expanding an assessment district to undertake improvements such as the construction of capital projects to instead pay for the provision of services which are normally defrayed through the operating budget of the governmental authority of that particular jurisdiction.
Relatively early on the San Antonio Heights Association suit survived three attempts by the county, the city and LAFCO to have it dismissed. A significant cross section of San Antonio Heights residents along with many Upland residents, many of whom were equally resentful of the manner in which the assessment had been imposed upon each of them without an actual vote, looked forward to the case going to trial. That trial has been delayed by legal sparring with regard to a number of the issues raised by the case, including an appeal to the appellate court.
In the meantime, on another level, the political one, events played out. Three of the four members of the Upland City Council who voted to proceed with the application to close the fire department and initiate the annexation of the city into Fire Protection Zone Five are no longer on the city council, two having been voted out of office by Upland’s voters last month and the third having opted out of running.
This week, on Tuesday morning, a merits hearing was held in which Judge Cohn was essentially being called upon to determine whether the matter will go to trial. Cohn’s courtroom on the eighth floor of the 11-story San Bernardino Justice Center in downtown San Bernardino was filled to capacity, primarily with San Antonio Heights residents and a handful of Uplanders.
Representing the San Antonio Heights Homeowners association at the hearing were Briggs and his law partner, Anthony Kim. Representing the Local Agency Formation Commission were Jeffrey Dunn and Daniel Lee Richards. Representing San Bernardino County and its fire division was Laura Crane. Representing Upland was Ginetta Gionvinco.
Shortly after the hearing began, Judge Cohn gave indication that his tentative decision weighed fully against the homeowners association, such that the annexation of the city and San Antonio Heights into Fire Protection Zone Five will be allowed to stand along with the wholesale dissolution of the Upland Fire Department.
Under the California Government Code, Cohn said, LAFCO has “broad discretion” in determining the validity of assessment zones. “The plaintiff has failed to demonstrate this was an invalid statutory scheme,” Judge Cohn said.
Cohn opined that the levying of a “relatively small” assessment had led to “the rallying cry of ‘No Taxation Without Representation’ by the people of San Antonio Heights, who didn’t get an opportunity to vote on this tax.”
Though Cohn said such a sentiment is a legitimate one with an obvious historical and Constitutional import, those considerations are trumped by the consideration that the county, the city and the Local Agency Formation Commission abode by all of the proper procedural protocols. “The Sunset Beach case is the guiding law here,” said Judge Cohn. “It provides that when this annexation occurred a tax that was already imposed on a geographically larger area [into which the land in question was absorbed] it became valid.”
Briggs, however, asserted that “Under Health and Safety Code Section 13952, LAFCO has no authority to approve a proposal to create a service zone or change boundaries or dissolve a zone.”
In San Antonio Heights, Briggs said, there were a sufficient number of residents protesting the annexation to either prevent the annexation from taking place or to force a vote where the annexation would have been voted down. By combining San Antonio Heights into the FP-5 zone with Upland simultaneously and requiring that the sufficient number of protest votes emanating in San Antonio Heights be tallied into the mix with the insufficient number of protest votes originating out of Upland, Briggs said, the defendants had cheated the residents of San Antonio Heights out of a fair and democratic process. “That is putting your finger on the scale,” he said. “That’s not good government. That’s engaging in a dilution of the vote. That is in a sense gerrymandering.” LAFCO, the county and the City had thus loaded the dice to ensure that the protest effort in San Antonio Heights did not succeed, he said.
Briggs told Judge Cohn that his analysis blurred the distinction between improvement districts and service zones and that assessments of the sort approved by the Local Agency Formation Commission using the procedure last year was intended for paying for tangible items such as capital improvements, structures or infrastructure. The proceeds from such assessments could not be used to pay for services, Briggs said.
“Even if the annexation into the district is proper, LAFCO has no authority to do an annexation into a zone. A zone is excluded from the definition of a district,” Briggs said. He then read the applicable definitions of the terms.
“The court could rule that annexation [of San Antonio Heights] into the district is not illegal but the court cannot on the a plain reading [of the applicable case law] think that LAFCO had the authority to apply a tax that was levied in some other zone,” Briggs said. “LAFCO does not have that authority on the basis of Cortese-Knox.”
The Cortese-Knox-Hertzberg Local Government Reorganization Act of 2000 is the section of the State Government Code (Government Code §§ 56000 et sequitar) that provides a Local Agency Formation Commission with its authority, procedures and functions.
The county, city and LAFCO had assembled a “Frankenstein” of inconsistent entities and governmental functions – zones, districts and assessments – “to accomplish a zone that does not have taxing authority,” Briggs said.
When Judge Cohn suggested that the residents of San Antonio Heights were merely seeking to get out from underneath the financial burden of having to pay a paltry $150 per year for fire protection, Briggs objected to that characterization. He then endeavored to remind the judge that the residents of San Antonio Heights had already been paying for fire service through property taxes they paid annually. In actuality, Briggs suggested, the county was now charging them double for the fire service they had been receiving, but had not improved it, and in fact lessened it. The substance of this claim consisted of the consideration that the county fire station that had previously been in operation at the top of Euclid Avenue near 25th Street at the southern entrance into San Antonio Heights had operations previously devoted in their entirety to serving San Antonio Heights. Now, that station is used to provide service to the northwest quadrant of Upland, effectively reducing the level of coverage the county was previously providing to San Antonio Heights. This was unfair, Briggs said, in that the residents of San Antonio Heights are not only paying twice for the same thing, they are actually paying more for less service. They weren’t objecting to paying the assessment as much as they were objecting to being fleeced while seeing their service level diminished, he said. “It isn’t fair to say these are a bunch of people too cheap to pay 150 bucks,” Briggs said, adding that they are now going along with paying the assessments on their property tax bills. “But that doesn’t mean you should get dinged twice to get less,” he said.
Cohn asked Briggs what would occur if he granted the San Antonio Heights Association’s request and that night a fire occurred in San Antonio Heights, implying by his question that the community would be left without firefighting protection.
Briggs asserted that a declaration that the assessment district was without validity would not result in the county withdrawing its service but merely direct that an orderly return to the earlier established arrangement take place.
Cohn said the city had moved toward the option of shuttering the fire department and being annexed into the fire service zone because it did not have the financial means to maintain its fire department otherwise.
Dunn, representing the Local Agency Formation Commission, said that Cohn had correctly analyzed the circumstance in his intended statement of decision and that the San Bernardino County Board of Supervisors, in its capacity as the county fire board, had the authority to organize the provision of fire service within the county. “The law gives the board the authority to effectuate services,” Dunn said.
Dunn also asserted that the assessments were being utilized for improvements, and he referenced the San Antonio Heights Fire Station in this context. This brought a sharp retort from Briggs, who noted the fire station has been in existence for 37 years.
Ginetta Gionvinco, representing Upland, said that at this point the city could not reestablish its fire department, as all of its assets and manpower are no longer in the possession of the city.
“The city does not have a way to go back,” she said. “It is not as simple as the city taking over the service. It has previously transferred the land, the vehicles, the equipment and everything else. The city was not able to continue to provide those services. To think the city is in a position to re-up and start anew is not realistic. To unwind this is not realistic. There is no going back on that.”
Taking the statements of all parties under submission, Judge Cohn indicated he would deliver his finalized decision in early January, the totality of his statements leaving the impression that San Antonio Heights will remain in the Fire Service Zone 5.
After the hearing, as the capacity crowd of San Antonio Heights residents filed into the hallway outside of Judge Cohn’s courtroom, several expressed dismay at the tenor of Cohn’s intended ruling. One said he found it particularly galling that the city, LAFCO and the county maintained last year that the annexation should be allowed to proceed at that time because if the court found against them, that fire department takeover could simply be reversed and that the city, using Gionvinco as a mouthpiece, is now maintaining that the difficulty of making that reversal is grounds for not rescinding the annexation.
