In recent months and years, Barstow has come into its own as a hotbed of political discontent. Perhaps not unexpectedly, this year’s election, held November 6, manifested a wave of allegations of voting and election law irregularities.
A little more than a month before the election, there was a harbinger of intensifying contretemps and controversy surrounding Barstow politics when JoAnn Cousino, who had been Barstow’s city clerk for more than two decades, abruptly resigned from that post, effective October 1, after questions were raised concerning her residency and eligibility to hold office. Cousino had been the city’s elections officer. Indeed, she had on occasion used that authority to disqualify would-be candidates for office. Those disqualifications had been made for a number of reasons, sometimes pertaining to a candidate-applicant’s filing papers being out of order, sometimes as a consequence of those signing the candidates’ filing papers not being properly registered or qualifying as Barstow residents and sometimes involving Cousino’s determination that the candidate was not qualified to run as a result of not meeting the Barstow residency requirement. What was alleged and reported was that Cousino herself was out of compliance with the residency requirement in that she had, during her tenure in office, lived not in Barstow but in both Yermo and Newberry. Many found it disquieting that Cousino, who had evinced a knowledge and consciousness with regard to residency requirements, would be out of compliance herself and still enforce those rules against others.
Subsequently, on October 15, the Barstow City Council allowed Cousino to rescind her resignation. Officials were unwilling to discuss Cousino’s actual residency status and would not confirm nor deny that in the intervening two weeks between her resignation and her reinstatement, she had found residency in the city that would put her in compliance with the law.
According to Cousino, who likewise avoided any direct discussion of her residency status, she voluntarily moved out of her elected position as city clerk out of the mistaken belief that she needed to do so to officially retire from another municipal employment position she holds – that of city clerk services manager. That position is one that was conferred upon her as a consequence of her holding the elected city clerk position, though there is no requirement that the city clerk also serve as the city clerk services manager. Cousino claimed she wanted to retire “in order to be eligible for my full pension. That is the only reason that I submitted my resignation for my elected city clerk service,” Cousino said. She said the California Public Employees Retirement System informed her after she had tendered her resignation that she could still serve in her elected capacity as city clerk – and draw her full pay in that capacity – and also draw her pension as a retired municipal employee.
This brought immediate howls of protest from some city residents, who believe that what Cousino is doing is tantamount to double dipping, and that a public employee is either employed or retired, and cannot be both.
Cousino’s situation exists as a case-in-point that illustrates the growing political schism in Barstow. On one side of that divide are the city’s staff, their families, their representatives and their supporters. On the other side of the divide are residents who believe that public employees are a class of elitist prima donnas unto themselves who believe they are entitled to salaries that are on average higher than those available in the private sector and augmented by benefits, including guaranteed pensions, that dwarf those available in the private sector and what is available to everyday citizens who do not work for the government.
This is exacerbated, these residents say, by the consideration that a majority of the city council – Councilman Merrill Gracey, Councilman Rich Harpole and Councilwoman Carmen Hernandez – are retired public employees who are themselves pulling fat public employee pensions. The balance of the city council therefore sides with the city’s municipal employees on any matters where there is a conflict between the interests of the citizens and city workers, these residents say.
This group of residents has become increasingly more vocal in the last two years, with many of its ranks showing up at city council meetings. They are in favor of voting the retired public officials off the council and replacing them with those employed within the private sector, and thereafter remaining vigilant in future elections to make sure that no public employees are voted into office. They liken having public employees serving in public office to allowing the monkeys to run the zoo or the inmates to run the asylum.
For their part, the public office-holding public employees consider those who begrudge them their positions in elective office to be a bunch of inveterate malcontents who are simply envious of how well public employees have done for themselves. They believe that those who work for government are the cream that has risen to the top of society and that they deserve all that they can get and more, are more intelligent than the great unwashed masses, and as such are more qualified to occupy the positions of community decision-makers.
In this year’s election, the rubber of these differing philosophies met the road in the form of Measure Q, which called for a one cent per dollar sales tax override to augment the city’s operations. Technically, if the sales tax were to have been committed to any single specific use, it would have required, under California law, two-thirds approval to pass. Thus, the city council, which sponsored the measure, did not officially commit to using the money for any specified purpose. Nevertheless, the council offered its unofficial word that the proceeds will be used to shore up the Barstow Fire Department. This had many Barstow residents crying foul, saying the council was most certainly violating the spirit of the law and probably the letter of the law as well. Measure Q, they said, is emblematic of the pro-public employee bias at City Hall and on the city council, which takes recourse in taxing residents to continue to pay for bloated public employee salaries and pensions.
An example of the manner in which the political faction in Barstow militating on behalf of city employees has crossed the line in unfairly and illegally influencing public events and action in its favor came, these City Hall critics allege, during the November 6 election. Pro-measure Q advocates set up tables near the city’s polling places to promote the measure, offering voters bottled water. Those tables were manned, during normal business hours on a weekday, by city employees. Prominent at the tables were signs calling for the passage of Measure Q. At at least one of the city’s polling places, that one located at the Seventh Day Adventist Church, the table was set up between 42 and 43 feet away from the entrance to the polling place, which is a violation of the election code, which requires that any political advertising, signs, references to candidates or measures on the ballot or electioneering activity take place no closer than 100 feet to the polling place. No effort to prevent that electioneering activity or to remove the signs was undertaken by election officials.
Moreover, state law prohibits public employees from engaging in political advocacy during their working hours while serving in their public capacity. City Hall’s critics decried the use of public money and public resources to fund an electioneering effort, that one in support of Measure Q.
Another election code violation that took place in Barstow consisted of the poll workers refusing to make the roster of those who had voted in the election available for inspection. Under the election code, that roster is supposed to be posted and visible at the polling place and is to be updated continuously as voters cast their ballots. That section of the elections code exists for a multitude of reasons, including promoting a transparent voting process. Posting of the roster allows residents of the precinct, many of whom have a more intimate knowledge of the district than at least some of the elections office workers who do not reside locally, to monitor the voting activity and detect if votes have been cast by ineligible voters, such as by those, for example, masquerading as local voters or registered voters that may be known to the observer as deceased. Another reason for the posting is to allow candidates involved in the election to monitor the turnout and engage in efforts to encourage those who have not yet voted to turn up at the polls to vote.
John Coffey, a poll observer for the Democratic Party, told the Sentinel he observed multiple violations of the California Elections Code at Barstow polling places. Those included, Coffey said, the Yes on Measure Q table at the polling place at Barstow’s Seventh Day Adventist Church which was well within the 100-foot restriction area wherein electioneering activity and signage is prohibited.
Coffey said the poll workers in Barstow further failed to post the voter roster containing full identifying information pertaining to the registered voters of those precincts with the names of the voters who had voted lined through as is required by law.
Questions of Bob Page, San Bernardino County’s principal management analyst who was elevated to the position of interim registrar of voters some four months before the election, were diverted to Melissa Eickman, who is the public information manager at the registrar of voters office and was formerly the chief deputy registrar of voters in Riverside County.
With regard to the placement of the Measure Q promotional tables within 100 feet of the polling places in Barstow, Eickman said, “I looked into that issue at the Seventh Day Adventist Church in Barstow with the table that had a Yes on Q sign, and you said they were handing out water as well. I looked through all of our phone calls on election day, and I found nothing that resembled this report. I can’t find where anyone had reported anything on this issue. We certainly would take an electioneering report, and we do take electioneering reports very seriously. But on this one we didn’t receive anything so we didn’t go out and take care of that.”
As to the posting of the voter rosters, Eickman said the information with regard to who had voted was not displayed on the walls of the polling places but rather “entered into binders” that are kept at the polling places and are available to be examined by anyone who wishes to monitor who has voted. “That way, anyone connected with a campaign, or anyone else, can photo what is in the binder and then send that back to their campaign headquarters to check against the voting lists,” Eickman said.
That is not good enough, Coffey said. “The requirement for the posting of the voter roster at each polling location is contained in Election Code sections 14202 and 14223(b),” Coffey said. “At least once each hour on election day after the polls open until 6 p.m., a precinct board member shall identify, in the space provided on the voter list posted at or near the polling place, those voters who have voted by drawing a line through their names, according to Election Code section 14294(a). When I asked about the voter roster at one of the polling places in Barstow I was shown the binder, which had pages into which someone, I believe the same person based upon the similarity of the handwriting, had entered the names of those who had voted. Any other identifying information as specified in the Election Code, such as address or party affiliation was not listed. Nor were the names and addresses of those who had yet to vote available in that binder. So, what they offered me was useless for my purposes, which was to find voters registered as Democrats who were not shown as having voted and to call them or contact them to find out if they had not already voted by mail ballot and encourage those who had yet to vote to do so.”
Coffey continued, “The polling supervisor of the polling place located at Montara Elementary School felt my inquiries regarding the voter roster were disruptive and threw me out of the polling place about 6:10 p.m. I remained within sight of the polling place door until 8 p.m.”
Coffey confirmed that at the Seventh Day Adventist Church in Barstow, advocates for the passage Measure Q had set up a table that was within the 100 foot perimeter from the polling place entrance wherein electioneering activity is prohibited. He provided the Sentinel with three photos of the table, which was outfitted with an overhead sun shade, that were taken from a distance. “The table had city workers manning it, and I did not think it would be wise to get confrontational with them about how they were in violation of the election code,” Coffey said. “If they would have called the police, I don’t think they would have sided with me.”
Coffey noted that many if not most of the polling places in Barstow were overseen by members of the existing Barstow political and elected establishment. “The polling place supervisor where that particular Yes on Q booth was located was Barbara Rose,” Coffey said. “She is an elected member of the Barstow Unified School District’s governing board.”
Barstow voters passed Measure Q by a margin of 2,466 votes or 59.54 percent to 1,676 votes or 40.46 percent. As of Tuesday, however, Councilman Gracey was trailing in his reelection effort, having received 326 votes or 30.64 percent to the 256 votes for James Noble in Barstow’s District 2 race.

With medical costs rocketing into the stratosphere, hospitals and service providers are being pressured to limit to the extent they can the financial impact on their patients. At the same time, medical workers are feeling the pinch as well, and suffering untoward financial impacts of their own.
In San Bernardino County’s High Desert the manifestations of this situation are apparent.
The National Labor Relations Board late last month entered a finding that administrators with the Barstow Community Hospital have consistently evinced bad faith or otherwise used impermissible tactics in their bargaining with the California Nurses Association, which represents the nursing staff employed there.
For years, negotiations between the hospital ,and the nurses’ union have been less than productive. The nurses have leveled a host of charges at the hospital that move well beyond the straightforward matter of wages, benefits, hours and working conditions. Hospital officials maintain that at least some of those issues raised are absolutely invalid and involved false accusations.
On October 28, the National Labor Relations Board ordered Barstow Community Hospital to honor the terms of the agreements it had arrived at with the California Nurses Association in the negotiations carried out during that time.
That order came nearly three months after the United States Court of Appeals, District of Columbia Circuit ruled that Barstow Hospital had erroneously failed to recognize the authority of the National Labor Relations Board’s regional director’s eligibility to negotiate on behalf of the nurses. The hospital had maintained the board’s lack of a quorum divested the regional director of authority to certify the election that designated the California Nursing Association as the bargaining unit eligible to represent Barstow’s nurses.
The National Labor Relations Board said Barstow Hospital, known officially as Hospital of Barstow, Inc, which is a holding of Brentwood, Tennessee-based Quorum Health Corporation, must cease to interfere in the relationship between the nurses and their chosen bargaining representatives and forthwith bargain in good faith. The board further ordered the hospital to pay the union for “negotiating expenses during a period of bad faith bargaining,” cease unilaterally imposing employment policies and remunerate nurses six years worth of back pay for any time worked in excess of a cap on nurses’ hours the hospital put in place as part of a training program.
The hospital has suffered a high level of employee turnover in an atmosphere in which nurses allege numerous labor violations and challenging workplace conditions including inferior or unavailable medical equipment.
The National Labor Relations Board has used its authority to safeguard the right of employees to engage in legal union activity to enforce those provisions of the contracts entered into with the nurses through the collective bargaining process.
Quorum Health maintains that it has acted properly in its negotiation process with unions representing its affiliates’ employees throughout the country, including those in California. It maintains that the refusal to accede to certain demands by unions is an outgrowth of the company’s effort to comply with the federal directive to deliver affordable medical care to the patents treated at its facilities.
An object demonstration of the brutal financial reality that attends the delivery of healthcare consists of the action taken by Providence St. Joseph Health Southern California, which runs St. Joseph Health, St. Mary Hospital in Apple Valley, to lay off eight employees there earlier this year.
According to Providence St. Joseph Health Southern California, that round of staff reductions, which occurred six months ago, does not include medical professionals but rather “caregivers” contributing to service provided to patients outside of a clinical setting.
Providence St. Joseph insisted that the move was absolutely necessary to keep the hospital from sustaining unacceptable financial losses. Those layoffs were made, the provider said, in “non-patient care areas.”
Running St. Mary’s efficiently, Providence St. Joseph Health Southern California maintains, will eliminate the squandering of funds being accumulated to enable St. Mary’s to undertake an expansion and the intensification of health services in the near future.

Two of the giants in San Bernardino County’s public life over the last four decades made their way into eternity recently.
Stan Hodge, a luminary in the legal community, passed away on November 12, one month after Robert Christman, who was formerly Loma Linda’s mayor, died on October 12.
Hodge, who was born on July 22, 1947, was an attorney practically his entire professional life. After graduating from USC Law School, he passed the California Bar on December 18, 1973. He was 26 years old.
Hodge was a prosecutor in the San Bernardino County District Attorney’s Office under then-District Attorney Lowell Lathrop. He also had a private practice in law, including an office in Colton. In October 1990, was elevated to the bench by then-California Governor George Deukmejian. He functioned from the Victorville Courthouse for seven years, retiring as a Superior Court judge in October 1997 and returning to private practice, with an office in Victorville.
He handled both criminal defense and civil matters.
Included among his clients were defendants in cases involving allegations of political corruption and malfeasance in office. He handled murder cases and libel cases.
“He was a fine attorney, but more importantly he was a good and kind man,” said Steve Bremser, a fellow attorney. “I am grateful that I had the chance to know him.”
A Rosary will be said in his honor at 10 a.m at Our Lady of the Desert Church, located at 18386 Corwin Road in Apple Valley on November 30, to be followed immediately with a funeral Mass at 11 a.m. A memorial service for Stan will be held Saturday, December 1, 2018 from 11:00 AM to 12:00 p.m. at Desert View Funeral Home in Victorville.
Christman was born on August 15, 1950 in Honolulu, Hawaii where his parents, Donald and Dorothy Christman, were missionaries for the Seventh-day Adventist Church. When Bob was two, his parents took up a mission in South America. When he was 15, his parents moved their family of six back to the United States. Christman made his adult home in the Adventist community of Loma Linda, where he married and raised four children and two stepchildren. He worked as a herb farmer and as an investment adviser and estate planner.
His civic concern resulted in him successfully seeking election to the Loma Linda City Council. He remained on the council for twenty years, serving multiple terms as mayor. The knowledge he accumulated in office was subsequently converted to use when he worked in management with governmental agencies, most recently as the executive director of the West Valley Water District.

In what will be one of the last major actions by the Upland City Council before three of its members depart in the aftermath of this year’s election, the city will enter into a three-year contract with acting City Manager Jeannette Vagnozzi, establishing her as city manager through December 31, 2021.
Upon her elevation to the post, Vagnozzi will become Upland’s eighth city manager since February 2005. She was hired to serve as Upland’s deputy city manager in July 2015. In that capacity she has functioned as the head of administrative services, city clerk and both human resources manager and risk manager.
For a few days in July 2016 when one of the city’s previous city managers, Rod Butler, was abruptly terminated, Vagnozzi served as acting city manager. This year, after the unanticipated resignation of City Manager Bill Manis, Vagnozzi has again served in the acting city manager capacity.
For more than a decade, Upland has had a troubled experience with its city managers. In 2005, then-Mayor John Pomierski orchestrated the leaving of City Manager Mike Milhiser, while also forcing the exit of then-Police Chief Martin Thouvenell. In Milhiser’s stead, Pomierski installed Robb Quincey, but was soon obliged to augment Quincey with the assistance of Rod Foster as assistant city manager. Foster in large measure ran the city, but left in 2009 to become city manager of Colton. In relatively short order, in June 2010, the FBI raided Upland City Hall. Ultimately, Pomierski was indicted on bribery charges, and Quincey, who was widely seen as Pomierski’s enabler and had been provided by Pomierski with a total compensation package in excess of $425,000 a year, was himself charged and convicted of political corruption relating to his activity as city manager. Quincey was succeeded in 2011 by Stephen Dunn, who had been the city’s finance director and held similar financial posts with the cities of Fontana and Buena Park. Dunn remained in place until 2014, at which point he had become crosswise of three of the members of the city council. Dunn was succeeded by Martin Lomeli, who served in a caretaker role until the city settled upon Rod Butler, who was brought in in the fall of 2014, based upon his experience as the city manager with the cities of Patterson and Crescent City and other municipal posts in Chino, Claremont, Ontario and Pomona. Though Butler had been raised in Upland, where he attended Western Christian High School, and openly spoke about remaining in Upland until his retirement a decade or more hence, in July 2016 a bare three-member majority of the council abruptly terminated him, a few months shy of his two-year anniversary with the city. The council then turned to its former police chief, Martin Thouvenell, to fill the managerial gap while it sought a new city manager, a recruitment effort which Thouvenell led. Though there was discussion of elevating Vagnozzi to the city manager’s position, Thouvenell did not seem favorably disposed toward her and she was not selected. Thouvenell remained as city manager for a full eighteen months until Bill Manis, who was the city manager of Rosemead and who had substantial municipal experience with San Bernardino, Cypress, Corona, Santa Ana and Banning prior to that, was chosen to serve as city manager. And while Manis was hailed as a good fit for the City of Gracious Living, things did not work out with him either, and in September he announced his pending departure as of November 2, just ten months after arriving in Upland.
Since Manis’s departure, this year’s municipal election was held and two of the council’s members, Gino Filippi and Carol Timm, were not reelected. Another council member, Sid Robinson, did not seek reelection and he will be leaving the council next month with Filippi and Timm.
In what some see as an effort to extend their control of the city beyond their tenure, which ends next month, Robinson, Filippi and Timm are now poised on Monday night November 26 to consider, with their two council colleagues Mayor Debbie Stone and Councilwoman Janice Elliott, an employment agreement with Vagnozzi.
According to a staff report by Upland City Attorney Jim Markman, “The proposed action supports the city’s goal to ensure continuity in the leadership of the city and proper oversight of the city’s functions and employees. A request was made by Mayor Stone and Council Member Sid Robinson to bring forward the appointment of Jeannette Vagnozzi to the position of city manager. The city council entered into agreement with Bill R. Manis to serve as city manager beginning January 2, 2018. After Mr. Manis announced his retirement in September, Ms. Vagnozzi was appointed unanimously to the role of acting city manager. The terms of the employment agreement remain largely the same as the previous city manager agreements; however the salary stated in the agreement is Step 4 of 13 of the established city manager’s salary range which places this position roughly one salary step ahead of the highest paid executive employee.”
According to the wording in the contract, “The annual salary for the position of city manager shall initially be Range 94, Step 5 of the city’s salary scale or $205,368 annually.”
Vagnozzi is also eligible for a host of perquisites such as a vehicle stipend and equipment allowances and augmentation pay worth roughly $25,000 annually and benefits of no less than $86,690.97, such that her total annual compensation package will be approximately $311,000. In 2017, as deputy city manager, Vagnozzi had a total compensation package of $235,681.57.
According to Markman, “There were several reasons cited for bringing this item forward at this time. First is continuity of service. Ms. Vagnozzi’s knowledge of current projects is crucial during this period of leadership transition. Additionally, with the exception of one department head, the key executive and administrative management employees are relatively new to the city. Ms. Vagnozzi’s leadership will provide stability within the organization. She has also established ties to the business community and has a long standing history in the community. Finally, her experience and education make her very qualified for the role of city Manager. Jeannette Vagnozzi has 27.5 years of experience in municipal government with the last 3.5 years with the City of Upland as the assistant city manager. Ms. Vagnozzi has broad experience from 24 years with the City of La Verne where she served simultaneously as assistant to the city manager and as city treasurer. Ms. Vagnozzi earned a master of science in leadership and management and a bachelor of science in business administration from the University of La Verne and a certificate in business ethics from Colorado State University.”
As word about Vagnozzi’s elevation into the full-fledged city manager position spread through Upland over Thanksgiving, concern was expressed that her ties to the former ruling coalition on the council, which included Stone, Filippi, Timm and Robinson, would from the outset put her at odds with incoming council members Ricky Felix, who is replacing Filippi, and Rudy Zuniga, who is replacing Timm, as well as Councilwoman Janice Elliott, who was not part of the ruling coalition in Upland over the last two years.
One of those concerns was that the contract to be considered, and presumably passed, Monday night contains provisions that will make it difficult to terminate Vagnozzi, if that is the incoming council’s determination, and also expensive to do so.
Under the heading “Performance Evaluation,” the employment agreement states, “The city council will review and evaluate the performance of the city manager on an annual basis or more frequently if the council so desires. Failure of the city council to provide a performance evaluation shall not limit the city’s ability to terminate this agreement pursuant to the terms set forth herein.”
Under the heading “Termination and Removal,” the contract states, “The city manager is an at-will employee and serves at the pleasure of the city council. Nothing in this agreement shall prevent the city council from terminating this agreement and the services of the city manager at its sole discretion without cause. The city council may remove the city manager at any time, without cause, by a majority vote of its members. Notice of termination shall be provided to the city manager in writing.”
The only limitation on the council’s autonomy in firing the city manager consists of a prohibition against removing her from office during or within a period of ninety days succeeding the date of a council member’s swearing in to office. According to Markman, “The purpose of that provision is to allow any newly seated member of the city council or a reorganized city council to observe the actions and ability of the city manager in the performance of the powers and duties of her office.”
Under the heading “Severance Pay,” the contract states, “In the event the city manager is terminated by the city council during such time that the city manager is willing and able to perform the city manager’s duties under this agreement, then in that event the city agrees to continue to compensate the city manager at her then current rate of pay, as severance pay, for a total of six months, including all benefits and accrued leaves.”

In a complaint to the California Secretary of State, current Victorville City Councilman Eric Negrete has alleged three separate violations of the California Election Code against his council rival, Blanca Gomez. Negrete, a Republican who was elected in 2014, has crossed swords more than once with Gomez, formerly a Democrat who now expresses no party preference and who was elected to the Victorville City Council in 2016.
Though municipal office is considered to be nonpartisan, Gomez’s adherence to progressive, indeed what Negrete has characterized as radical, principles, has left her isolated on the council, as she has consistently found herself on the losing end of 4-to-1 votes. Negrete and others have objected, as well, to her tendency to involve herself in political issues outside of Victorville, as when she attended a rally in Rialto which called for less restrictive immigration policies or she sought to promote the candidacies of several Hesperia city council hopefuls. A group of citizens from Victorville in alliance with others from outside the city earlier this year sought to qualify for the ballot a recall election targeting her, but organizers of that effort recently signaled it would fall short of gathering the requisite number of signatures to succeed.
Negrete, who had to stand for election in this month’s race in order to remain in office, was one of eleven candidates in a race for which two seats were at stake. While early in the tallying of the votes he clung to second place and appeared to be headed for a second term on the council, in recent weeks he has slipped into third place and it now appears that he will fall short in his effort to gain reelection. Late and provisional votes are yet arriving and the election will not be certified until next month.
While Negrete was yet in the lead, on November 9, he filed his complaint which asserted that Gomez had been either promoting other candidates in the race or opposing him while, he said, she was violating “Elections Code 18370 – electioneering within 100 feet of a polling place on election day.”
Furthermore, according to Negrete, Gomez had violated “Elections Code section 18371 – electioneering during vote-by-mail voting.” His complaint states, “Council Member Gomez was seen at the City Hall polling location demanding, and receiving, conditional ballot registrations. Vote-by-mail bundling occurred. Absentee/vote-by-mail ballots were dropped off at City Hall.”
And, Negrete said, Gomez had also violated “Elections Code section 18560(a)” by facilitating “fraudulently voting in an election in which one is not entitled.”
Negrete’s complaint states, “Same day registration/voting occurred at Victorville City Hall which may only be provided at the San Bernardino County elections offices. Blanca Gomez registered voters, including illegal aliens, on election day and they cast illegal votes. ”
Gomez told the Sentinel, “Same day registration and voting is permitted at select locations in San Bernardino County by the Registrar of Voters, including Victorville City Hall. It’s unfortunate that Mr. Negrete cannot accept responsibility and must find another reason to scapegoat his loss. No illegal electioneering occurred and what you’re witnessing is typical behavior from a failed candidate. I wish Eric Negrete would take his 2018 election loss with dignity and retreat from the Victorville City Council with some honor. This is no surprise considering Mr. Negrete was handpicked by failed 2016 Victorville City Council candidate Ryan McEachron, who also exhibits the same behavior.

UNLESS YOU TAKE ACTION TO PROTECT YOUR PROPERTY, IT MAY BE SOLD AT A PUBLIC SALE. IF YOU NEED AN EXPLANATION OF THE NATURE OF THE PROCEEDINGS AGAINST YOU, YOU SHOULD CONTACT A LAWYER. On December 10, 2018 at 01:00 PM, at the main (south) entrance to the City of Chino Civic Center, 13220 Central Ave, Chino, CA 91710, MTC Financial Inc. dba Trustee Corps, as the duly Appointed Trustee, under and pursuant to the power of sale contained in that certain Deed of Trust recorded on November 3, 2004 as Instrument No. 2004-0802766, and that said Deed of Trust was modified by Modification Agreement and recorded June 17, 2009 as Instrument Number 2009-0263901, and that said Deed of Trust was modified by Modification Agreement and recorded June 24, 2009 as Instrument Number 2009-0277459, of official records in the Office of the Recorder of San Bernardino County, California, executed by RICHARD FESLER, A MARRIED MAN AS HIS SOLE & SEPARATE PROPERTY, as Trustor(s), in favor of MORTGAGE ELECTRONIC REGISTRATION SYSTEMS, INC. as nominee for COUNTRYWIDE HOME LOANS, INC. as Beneficiary, WILL SELL AT PUBLIC AUCTION TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER, in lawful money of the United States, all payable at the time of sale, that certain property situated in said County, California describing the land therein as: AS MORE FULLY DESCRIBED IN SAID DEED OF TRUST The property heretofore described is being sold “as is”. The street address and other common designation, if any, of the real property described above is purported to be: 9165 CANDLEWOOD STREET, RANCHO CUCAMONGA, CA 91730 The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address and other common designation, if any, shown herein. Said sale will be made without covenant or warranty, express or implied, regarding title, possession, or encumbrances, to pay the remaining principal sum of the Note(s) secured by said Deed of Trust, with interest thereon, as provided in said Note(s), advances if any, under the terms of the Deed of Trust, estimated fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee and of the trusts created by said Deed of Trust. The total amount of the unpaid balance of the obligations secured by the property to be sold and reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of this Notice of Trustee’s Sale is estimated to be $145,853.11 (Estimated). However, prepayment premiums, accrued interest and advances will increase this figure prior to sale. Beneficiary’s bid at said sale may include all or part of said amount. In addition to cash, the Trustee will accept a cashier’s check drawn on a state or national bank, a check drawn by a state or federal credit union or a check drawn by a state or federal savings and loan association, savings association or savings bank specified in Section 5102 of the California Financial Code and authorized to do business in California, or other such funds as may be acceptable to the Trustee. In the event tender other than cash is accepted, the Trustee may withhold the issuance of the Trustee’s Deed Upon Sale until funds become available to the payee or endorsee as a matter of right. The property offered for sale excludes all funds held on account by the property receiver, if applicable. If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse. Notice to Potential Bidders If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a Trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a Trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same Lender may hold more than one mortgage or Deed of Trust on the property. Notice to Property Owner The sale date shown on this Notice of Sale may be postponed one or more times by the Mortgagee, Beneficiary, Trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about Trustee Sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call In Source Logic at 702-659-7766 for information regarding the Trustee’s Sale or visit the Internet Web site address listed below for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case, CA08000226-18-1.

PROPS1801081 To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, and contingent creditors of BETTY JO MABRY and persons who may be otherwise interested in the will or estate, or both: A petition has been filed by KEVIN MABRY in the Superior Court of California, County of SAN BERNARDINO, requesting that KEVIN MABRY be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of BETTY JO MABRY. The petition requests the decedent’s wills and codicils, if any, be admitted to probate. The will and codicils are available for examination in the file kept by the court. The petition requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. This will avoid the need to obtain court approval for many actions taken in connection with the estate. However, before taking certain actions, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or have consented to the proposed action. The petition will be granted unless good cause is shown why it should not be.) The petition is set for hearing in Dept. No. S35 at SUPERIOR COURT OF CALIFORNIA, COUNTY OF SAN BERNARDINO SAN BERNARDINO DISTRICT – PROBATE DIVISION 247 W. 3rd STREET SAN BERNARDINO, CA 92415-0212 on JANUARY 10, 2019 at 08:30 AM
IF YOU OBJECT to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney.
IF YOU ARE A CREDITOR or a contingent creditor of the deceased, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within the later of either (1) four months from the date of first issuance of letters to a general personal representative, as defined in subdivision (b) of Section 58 of the California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery of the notice to you under Section 9052 of the California Probate Code.
YOU MAY EXAMINE the file kept by the court. If you are interested in the estate, you may request special notice of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Section 1250 of the California Probate Code.

Sentinel 11-16-18

Superior Court Judge Michael A. Smith yesterday brought to a close one of the more dramatic chapters of San Bernardino County history with the sentencing of Bill Postmus, the boy wonder of politics whose bold and mercurial rise to the pinnacle of governmental power at the beginning of the Third Millennium ignominiously ended in scandal a decade ago.
In 2000, Postmus at the age of 29 was elected First District county supervisor representing practically all of San Bernardino County’s desert expanse, equal in area to three New England States. By the time he was 33, he became the chairman of both the board of supervisors and the county’s Republican Party apparatus, and two years later he was entrusted by the voters with the county’s highest taxing authority when he was elected county assessor. On Thursday, November 15, 2018, Judge Smith consigned him to spend the next three years in state prison.
The sentencing comes more than seven years and seven months after Postmus pled guilty to 14 felony charges relating to acts involving political corruption he was alleged to have participated in during his tenure as both supervisor and assessor along with a single misdemeanor drug possession charge. The sentencing was delayed because an element of his plea agreement was that he cooperate as a witness in prosecutors’ efforts to bring to justice others involved with him in his depredations. The trial for four of those defendants – Jeff Burum, Jim Erwin, Paul Biane and Mark Kirk – was subject to multiple delays and did not begin until January 2017 and lasted more than eight months. Another defendant in the case, Dino DeFazio, against whom prosecutors expected Postmus to testify, remained subject to prosecution until all of the charges against him were dismissed in January. Subsequent to the trial held last year, in which Burum, Biane and Kirk were acquitted and the jury considering the charges against Erwin deadlocked on all counts, Postmus sought to vacate his pleas in an effort to himself go before a jury. Judge Smith earlier this week turned down Postmus’ request to withdraw his admission of guilt and go to trial.
In meting out the punishment, the judge preserved into the record Postmus’ guilt on five of the fourteen felony charges he pleaded guilty to, dismissing the other nine as well as the misdemeanor drug conviction.
So ends what then-California Attorney General Jerry Brown, in a February 2010 press conference with San Bernardino County District Attorney Mike Ramos, called “the most appalling corruption case in decades, certainly in the history of San Bernardino County and maybe California itself.”
Brown’s reference was to what has commonly come to be referred to as the “Colonies criminal case.” In addition, prosecutors were focused upon two other criminal matters involving Postmus.
One of those pertained to the abuses of his authority during the slightly more than two years he served as county assessor from January 2007 until his resignation in February 2009. Midway in his second term as supervisor in November 2006, Postmus was elected to the assessor’s post, defeating incumbent assessor Don Williamson in what still stands as the most expensive election in county history. Postmus expended more than $2 million from his electioneering war chest, consisting of donations from various donors, in achieving a 158,571-vote or 52.62 percent to 141,621-vote or 47 percent victory over Williamson, tempered by a 1,144-vote or 0.38 percent showing for write-in candidates.
During the roughly two month window between the November 7, 2006 election and Postmus’ swearing in as assessor in early January 2007, Postmus utilized his position on the board of supervisors to persuade his board colleagues to go along with expanding the staffing at the assessor’s office, including creating a second assistant assessor’s post and a number of other top echelon slots that did not previously exist. Upon acceding to the office of assessor, Postmus then filled the 13 highest ranking billets beneath him with his political associates, cronies, friends and boyfriends, none of whom had any extensive experience in the real estate market nor in appraising properties nor assessing land or other assets for tax purposes.
Many of these hirees were given do-nothing assignments and did little more than collect a paycheck. Some turned up at the office and others did not. Of those who did come to work, most did little or nothing related to the assessor’s office’s function of determining the value of individual parcels within the county to calculate the property tax to be levied upon that land’s legal owners. Rather, most engaged in partisan political activity, promoting Republican causes in general and Republican candidates in particular, using county facilities and equipment to do so.
Among those caught up in the illegal activity within the assessor’s office as it was run under Postmus was Adam Aleman, who had previously worked as a field representative for Postmus when he was supervisor and whom Postmus upon becoming assessor in 2007 had appointed to serve as assistant assessor despite Aleman’s tender age of 23. In 2008, district attorney’s office investigators began a probe of reported misuse of the assessor’s office facilities, equipment and manpower for political purposes unrelated to the legitimate function of the agency. Aleman, who was as or more involved in carrying out political activity within the office than anyone else, quickly fell under the investigators’ scrutiny. In short order they cinched up a case against him and in June 2009, Aleman pleaded guilty to felony vandalism charges relating to his purposeful destruction of the hard drive in a county-issued laptop computer to prevent investigators from accessing it, two counts of theft, destruction, alteration or falsification of a public document, and presenting a false claim to a public board. Secretly, he began cooperating with district attorney’s investigators, including providing information on then-ongoing activity within the assessor’s office and relating what he knew and remembered of activity involving Postmus while he was supervisor.
The second criminal matter pertaining to Postmus was what grew into the Colonies criminal case, otherwise known as the Colonies lawsuit settlement prosecution. This related to the vote he cast in November 2006 during the closing days of his tenure as a member of the board of supervisors to approve the county’s settlement of a lawsuit brought against it by the Colonies Partners in 2002 over the county flood control district’s handling of drainage issues at the Colonies at San Antonio residential and Colonies Crossroads commercial subdivisions in northeast Upland. Postmus had joined with his then-board colleagues Paul Biane and Gary Ovitt to close out that litigation by conferring upon the Colonies Partners a $102 million payout. Prosecutors alleged that one of the Colonies Partners’ managing principals, Jeff Burum, had worked with the one-time president of the San Bernardino County deputy sheriffs’ union, Jim Erwin, to intimidate, threaten and blackmail Postmus and Biane to extort them into supporting the settlement. Prosecutors further maintained that after the county paid the Colonies Partners the $102 million, Burum then provided four separate $100,000 bribes/rewards to Postmus, Biane, Erwin and Ovitt’s chief-of-staff, Mark Kirk, disguising the payoffs as donations to political action committees that were either directly or secretly controlled by the four recipients. The $100,000 delivered to Kirk, prosecutors alleged, was intended as a quid pro quo to him for having induced Ovitt to support the settlement.
The third set of criminal issues involving Postmus pertained to his illicit drug use, which included his possession of a syringe containing liquefied methamphetamine found at his Rancho Cucamonga residence in January 2009 when investigators for the district attorneys’ office served a search warrant there in conjunction with the assessor’s office investigation, as well as an incident relating to his showing up for a court appearance in June 2010 under the influence of methamphetamine, which resulted in his detention and a search of his vehicle in the county courthouse parking lot that turned up more illicit drugs.
In February 2009, a month after the methamphetamine and syringe were found on Postmus’ premises, amid a deafening crescendo of calls for him to do so, Postmus resigned from office. Shortly after Aleman entered his June 2009 guilty plea, based in large measure on information Aleman had provided, Postmus was charged with multiple counts of having improperly used the authority of his office and misappropriation of government funds during his tenure as county assessor.
Some seven months later, Postmus and Erwin in February 2010 were named in a criminal complaint and charged with participating in a conspiracy to illegally obtain $102 million through a scheme that related to the November 2006 lawsuit settlement with the Colonies Partners. In that complaint, five other unnamed, uncharged co-conspirators were described. Though unidentified as to name, there were sufficient details in the complaint to make clear that the five alluded to were Colonies Partners co-managing principals Jeff Burum and Dan Richards, County Supervisor Paul Biane, Supervisor Gary Ovitt’s chief of staff Mark Kirk and public relations consultant Patrick O’Reilly, who had worked for the Colonies Partners.
Both Postmus and Erwin pleaded not guilty to the charges.
In March 2011, however, Postmus, who was represented in the criminal matter relating to the assessor’s office by attorney Stephen Levine and in the Colonies Partners lawsuit settlement criminal case by attorney Richard Farquhar, entered into a plea agreement by which he pleaded guilty to 14 felony charges arising out of the lawsuit settlement and assessor’s office cases and to a single drug possession count, with the proviso that he was to cooperate with prosecutors in providing information, evidence and testimony in making a case against Erwin and the unnamed co-conspirators outlined in the February 2010 complaint and those involved in his misuse of the assessor’s office. Though convictions against Postmus were recorded at that time on all 15 of the charges, it was spelled out that based upon his cooperation, all but three of the 14 felony convictions would be vacated, and the maximum sentence he would receive would be six years and eight months, with the possibility that prosecutors would recommend that he be given straight probation with no actual prison time. Sentencing, ultimately, remained within the discretion of the judge assigned to the case.
The following month, April 2011, Postmus went before a grand jury as a star witness, and in May 2011 that grand jury returned a 29-count indictment which named Burum, Biane, Erwin and Kirk as defendants, the narrative of which revolved around the November 2006 lawsuit settlement and the Colonies Partners’ provision of the separate $100,000 contributions to Biane’s, Erwin’s, Kirk’s and Postmus’ political action committees, which prosecutors characterized as thinly-disguised bribes.
The prosecution team consisted of prosecutors with the San Bernardino County District Attorney’s Office and the California Attorney General’s Office, led by Supervising Deputy District Attorney Lewis Cope and Supervising California Deputy Attorney General Melissa Mandel. They were matched by an impressive array of defense attorneys paid for by a portion of the proceeds from the $102 million settlement. For five-and-a-half years there were a multitude of delays, as the lawyers sparred at the trial court level, twice at the appellate level and twice before the California Supreme Court with regard to the dismissal or reinstatement of charges. Jury selection took place in December 2016 and the case went to trial in January 2017 before Judge Smith. That trial involved two juries, one which weighed the evidence against Burum, Biane and Kirk, and another which was tasked with deciding the fate of Erwin. In court, the proceedings involved 39 witnesses, more than half of whom were on the witness stand for multiple days, and continued for eight months.
Both Postmus and Aleman were central witnesses, with their testimony accounting for nearly all of the court proceedings in May 2017.
During his first three days of testimony under direct examination from May 1 through May 3, 2017, Postmus replicated the key elements of the prosecution’s narrative. In the latter half of 2006, Erwin, working on behalf of Burum and the Colonies Partners, Postmus testified, had threatened to expose elements of both his and Biane’s personal lives, including his own homosexuality and drug use, in an effort to persuade them to support the settlement. And Burum had promised to support him in either or both future political and business endeavors once the settlement was finalized, he said. Moreover, Postmus said, he believed the $102 million paid out to the Colonies Partners was ridiculously more than the development company was due. The threats and promises of reward, he testified, along with the desire to put the whole thing behind him prompted the settlement. And after the settlement was in place, Postmus testified, the Colonies Partners had come through with $100,000 for him in the form of two separate $50,000 donations to political action committees he had control over.
Thereafter, when the defense was given an opportunity to cross examine Postmus, under the withering questioning of one of Burum’s attorneys, Jennifer Keller, Postmus began to go sideways, and he testified that he had been intimidated by the district attorney’s office investigators to meet their expectations of what they needed to make the case against the others. Keller elicited from Postmus his acknowledgment that he was in the throes of methamphetamine addiction at the time of the events in question, rendering his memory unreliable and leaving him vulnerable to manipulation by the prosecution.
Toward the end of Summer 2017, the trial closed out without the defense calling any witnesses and without testimony from the accused, all of whom asserted their Fifth Amendment rights. The jury which heard the case against Burum, Biane and Kirk after less than two full days of deliberation returned verdicts of not guilty against all three on all remaining charges against them that had not already been dismissed by Judge Smith. The other jury deadlocked on all of the remaining charges brought against Jim Erwin. Thereafter, on a motion by the prosecution, the charges against Erwin were dismissed.
In the immediate aftermath of the verdicts, several jurors from both panels were interviewed, with some indicating that Postmus’ hedging of his testimony was a factor in their acquittal votes. Members of the prosecution team expressed consternation with the circumstance, and District Attorney Mike Ramos provided a public statement in explaining why his office had decided against retrying Erwin.
“Since the conclusion of jury deliberations, we have carefully evaluated our current position and have identified witness problems that cannot be resolved,” Ramos said. “As a result, we are unable to proceed. One such issue is the trial testimony of Bill Postmus, who is a necessary witness in the case against Jim Erwin. Bill Postmus’ unexpected testimony on cross-examination at the last trial conflicted with his grand jury testimony, his statement to the FBI, and multiple interviews with the district attorney’s office.”
In October 2017, Postmus came before Judge Smith for a sentencing hearing. During an in-camera, i.e., closed door, conference involving Judge Smith, Postmus, his attorneys Stephen Levine and Richard Farquhar, and at least one member of the prosecution team, Judge Smith gave indication that he was leaning toward sentencing Postmus to a two-year term in state prison. This took Postmus, who had been hopeful that his cooperation with the prosecution would net him no state prison time and either straight probation or a minimal round of incarceration in the county jail, was taken aback by the prospect of going to a state penitentiary. In light of the prosecution’s inability to get a conviction against his one-time co-defendant Erwin and the acquittals of Burum, Biane and Kirk growing out of the same set of facts, Postmus reconsidered the wisdom of his guilty plea, indicating his desire to withdraw it and go to trial. Because Levine and Farquhar had been his attorneys when he entered that plea, they were ineligible to represent him in withdrawing it. Accordingly, Postmus fired both of them and in January 2018 retained attorney Jeffrey Lawrence in his effort to vacate his plea and seek a trial. Lawrence made a motion with the court to withdraw Postmus’ plea. According to Lawrence, Postmus was not in control of his faculties and was under substantial duress when he was criminally charged and then capitulated with the series of no contest pleas. Investigators with the district attorney’s office, Lawrence maintained, took advantage of Postmus’s debilitating drug addiction, using confusion and memory loss brought on by his use of drugs together with coercion, inducements, and threats to convince Mr. Postmus that he had no choice but to plead guilty. The investigators further, Lawrence averred, fed Postmus false information and engaged in misrepresentations to plant in his mind “false memories” and get him to adopt as his own a false narrative of guilt implicating himself, Erwin, Burum, Biane and Kirk. The district attorney’s office investigators, according to Lawrence, used his client’s “drug-induced fear and paranoia to hoodwink Mr. Postmus into believing fiction.” Burum’s, Biane’s and Kirk’s acquittals and the failure to secure a conviction of Erwin illustrate, according to Lawrence’s motion, “the weakness of the evidence” the prosecution was relying upon. Justice dictated, Lawrence asserted, that the matter be reexamined in the light of revelations since the time Postmus entered his guilty pleas.
Moreover, according to Lawrence, Bill Postmus had fallen victim to a vindictive prosecution carried out by the district attorney’s office because Postmus and District Attorney Mike Ramos were in competition for the nomination of the Republican Party to succeed then-Congressman Jerry Lewis, who was nearing the end of his tenure in Congress and was a Ramos ally. Postmus had antagonized Ramos, Lawrence maintained, by having spoken up about the district attorney’s womanizing, in particular a relationship he engaged in with the county’s then-public defender, Doreen Boxer.
Postmus was ill-served by his previous legal representatives, Lawrence argued, who should not have allowed him to proceed with the plea bargain.
Postmus essentially lived up to the terms of his plea arrangement, Lawrence asserted, and was on the brink of being punished for doing so because the district attorney’s office and the California Attorney General’s Office are displeased with the outcome of the prosecution of Burum, Biane, Erwin and Kirk.
That motion came before Judge Smith on Friday November 2, 2018 and the hearing pertaining to it continued on Tuesday November 6, Wednesday November 7, Thursday November 8, Tuesday November 13 and Wednesday November 14, at which point Judge Smith entered his ruling denying it. Testifying on Postmus’ behalf were Postmus, Farquhar, Levine, Postmus’ business partner Dino DeFazio and Postmus’ longtime political associate Paul Russ.
During his testimony on November 13, Postmus said he had informed the San Bernardino Sun that he had seen Ramos and Boxer cavorting during the 2006 county/city conference in Lake Arrowhead.
Under questioning by Judge Smith, Postmus said that during the run-up to the Colonies lawsuit settlement he had been pressured to support the settlement by Erwin, and that the Colonies Partners wanted the settlement in place before he left the board of supervisors because it was not known at that point whether his replacement would provide a third necessary vote to join with those of Biane and Ovitt to accept the settlement.
“Mr. Erwin was threatening he would expose me for my drug use and sexuality if I didn’t get the settlement done in time for me to leave [the board of supervisors to move into the assessor’s post], or something to that effect,” Postmus said. He also told Judge Smith that Jeff Burum had said he would provide him with future support for his political campaigns or in business endeavors if he decided to leave politics but that he would not do so until the Colonies lawsuit had been settled. When Smith suggested that was a bribe overture and that Postmus’ subsequent receipt of the Colonies Partners’ $100,000 donation to his political action committees consummated the bribery, Postmus indicated he “didn’t see it that way,” and did not consider himself to have been bribed.
Both Farquhar and Levine testified that it was Postmus who in 2011 had made the determination to enter into a plea agreement with the prosecutors and that they both had reservations about his doing so. Levine testified that he had told Postmus that moving to the plea option was premature in that there were yet discovery issues that needed to be pursued and legal options yet to be exploited. Farquhar and Levine both indicated that the conviction of Rex Gutierrez, a Rancho Cucamonga councilman whom Postmus had hired as his intergovernmental liaison in the assessor’s office who had been charged with misuse of his office and governmental authority as well as misappropriation of public funds, and Gutierrez being sentenced to two years and eight months in state prison were major factors in Postmus’ decision to enter into the plea arrangement.
On November 14, Judge Smith rendered his decision on Postmus’s motion to withdraw his guilty plea. Before he did so, he heard from Lawrence and the prosecution team, represented by Mandel and Deputy District Attorney Carlo DiCesare. An issue explored was Postmus’ position that he had lived up to his deal to cooperate with the prosecution. Prosecutors, however, maintain that his cooperation with them ended with his testimony under direct examination at the trial for Burum, Biane, Erwin and Kirk and that under cross examination by Burum’s attorney, Jennifer Keller, Postmus actively began supporting the defendants and militating against the prosecution. Postmus did that by adopting whole hog Keller’s suggestion that the district attorney’s investigators had exploited his drug addled state to plant false memories that he subsequently regurgitated in his statements to them, to the grand jury that indicted Erwin, Biane, Kirk and Burum, and then under direct examination at trial. In his testimony before Smith November 2 on the motion to withdraw his plea, Postmus said he had a “moment of clarity” while on the stand under questioning by Keller.
Mandel, however, told Judge Smith that Postmus knew Keller’s version of events was untrue and that in supporting the prosecution on direct examination and then supporting the defense on cross examination he was “hedging his bets” and “trying to have the best of both worlds. Mr. Postmus lied under oath in an intentional, calculated way.” Mandel said that Postmus told three critical lies which deprived the prosecution of achieving the convictions against Burum, Erwin, Biane and Kirk that would have been obtained if he had fully lived up to the terms in his plea bargain. “The first lie came on cross examination when he contradicted his testimony on direct that Mr. Burum’s support was not contingent upon getting the settlement done,” Mandel said. “The second lie was that he was coerced and the DA’s investigators were putting words into his mouth. The third lie was the moment of clarity” he claimed during cross examination by Keller.
Lawrence countered that Mandel’s “argument is disingenuous,” pointing out that given the contradiction in what Postmus said under direct examination and cross examination, prosecutors would say he had “committed perjury one way or the other.” The reality was, Lawrence said, that Postmus had a legitimate epiphany on the witness stand while under Keller’s cross examination. “There was coercion throughout the investigation,” Lawrence said. “Overall, he told the truth.” His client maintained all along that Burum had not bribed him, Lawrence said. “Nothing contradicts that,” Lawrence said. What it came down to, Lawrence said, was that Postmus had the misfortune of being “cross examined by a good attorney [Keller]. Nothing nefarious occurred or has been proven. Mr. Postmus was trying to do what he was asked to do.”
Judge Smith said that “With regard to the issue of cooperation, the court finds the defendant did cooperate with the DA’s investigators throughout the investigation of the case. He was interviewed and gave what appeared to be accurate testimony [before the grand jury]. The second issue is: Did he testify truthfully at trial? The People’s position is he substantially testified truthfully before the grand jury and on direct examination. It was in his cross examination that there is a problem.”
Judge Smith said Postmus stayed relatively faithful to his statements relating to the threats, intimidation, blackmail and extortion he told the investigators he was subjected to by Erwin but that he waffled with regard to having been bribed. Smith said that “I think the people had to accept that at least Mr. Postmus believed that [he was not bribed] to be true,” though Postmus’ understanding of what constituted a bribe was faulty. Judge Smith cited “The argument brought forth by the investigators, who said [to Postmus] ‘You say Jeff Burum promised to support you in either your future campaign or in business if you left politics but not until after the settlement had been taken care of. Then you got it [the settlement] done, and low and behold you got $100,000. Wasn’t that a bribe?’ Mr. Postmus said, ‘I never saw it that way.’ It would be up to the jury to decide whether that was a fulfillment of the earlier promise, but Mr. Postmus did not. The court finds his testimony with regard to the $100,000 not being a bribe was truthful.”
But that did not settle the matter of whether Postmus actually was bribed, Judge Smith said. “Then we get to the issue of whether or not Mr. Burum offered him future support for political office and future support in business if he were to leave politics if he got the settlement done before he left the board of supervisors. Mr. Postmus said, ‘Yes, he made the statement offering future support but there was no contingency.’ Within a ten page span of the transcript and about five minutes later, he says ‘Yes,’ to whether there were conversations about future support and he said ‘Yes, he [Burum] did say that future support is if we got the settlement done.’ After saying that, Mr. Postmus said he did not believe it was a quid pro quo. It wasn’t until the FBI interview and he was asked, ‘Did you and Mr. Burum have that conversation about if you got the settlement done before you left the board that there would be support?’ He said there had been. Then they said, ‘You also said there was no quid pro quo’ and said that if there is a promise of support and if you get something, they believe that is a quid pro quo. Then he said, ‘Maybe I don’t know what a quid pro quo is.’” Postmus had undergone a voluntary interview with the FBI , with Levine present, in October 2012.
Continuing, Judge Smith said, “I am satisfied Mr. Postmus did not at the time consider it to be a quid pro quo or a bribe. If he let it go at that, I would find that his testimony was true, but he went beyond that in his cross examination.” Smith said that Keller started out with getting Postmus to acknowledge his drug use and got him to agree that drugs “mess up your memory. You don’t know what’s true and what’s not true. If you don’t know what’s true you have a tendency to accept just what they are saying. That’s what happened. The DA’s investigators told you what happened and you accepted it as true.”
Judge Smith said, “When you go through the actual transcript in detail, you see that is not what happened.” Smith said that throughout much of the exchange with the investigators Postmus “was minimizing” Burum’s action and “was reluctant to give information” implicating Burum. At a point some two-thirds into the interview, however, Judge Smith said, Postmus showed he “clearly wanted to say something, that there were conversations where Mr. Burum said the support would be coming ‘if and when we got the settlement accomplished before I left the board.’” Moreover, Judge Smith said, outside the confines of the coercive atmosphere of the district attorney investigators’ interrogative techniques, when Postmus was being interviewed by the FBI, “when that very same line of questioning was put to him by the FBI, he told them ‘No, they didn’t coerce me. No, they didn’t put words in my mouth. No, my memory was not impaired.”
Judge Smith said, “It is ironic that Ms. Keller was doing what she accused the district attorney’s office investigators of doing, providing a narrative to Mr. Postmus, and Mr. Postmus adopted that narrative. I can see no way to reconcile that as being a mistake, a slip. It simply is not believable and not reasonable, in the court’s view, that [Postmus truly believed] his statement on cross examination he was so impaired that the DA’s investigators were giving him a narrative and he was so vulnerable and so suggestible that he simply adopted it.” Thus, Judge Smith said, “The court makes a finding that Mr. Postmus made an intentional decision to retract his earlier statement that Mr. Burum had offered future political support and future support in business if Mr. Postmus was successful in getting the settlement accomplished before he left the board. The explanation that he had an epiphany and moment of clarity where he realized his prior statements grew out of his lack of memory and drug impairment is not true and is simply not believable or reasonable. The court finds that testimony was intentionally false.”
Smith said the suggestion that Postmus was at the mercy of the investigators and dominated by them is belied by multiple examples of Postmus contradicting their statement and suggestions throughout their interrogations of him.
On Wednesday, Smith denied Postmus motion to withdraw his 2011 guilty plea.
The proceedings late Wednesday and on Thursday then moved on to the consideration of Postmus’ sentence. Lawrence brought in character witnesses – Postmus’ former lawyer Steve Levine, and his longtime political associate and current Hesperia City Councilman Paul Russ. Both of those witnesses, however, may have wreaked more damage to Postmus than they rendered him assistance.
Levine softened no soap with Judge Smith when he offered his view that the entire Colonies criminal case, including the prosecutions of Postmus, Erwin, Kirk, Biane and Burum, had proven out as “much ado about nothing.” From the tenor of Judge Smith’s analysis of the interaction between Erwin and Postmus and between Burum and Postmus, not to mention that Judge Smith had devoted more than eight months of his life and professional career to overseeing a court trial pertaining to the case, it was clear Judge Smith considered the matter to be a weighty one.
Russ told of how he had waged several tough medical battles throughout his life, including getting a kidney transplant as a young man; then in 2004 contracting lymphatic cancer which through treatment went into remission; then learning last year that he had liver cancer and that his kidney was failing before sojourning to New Orleans to undergo a dual liver and kidney transplant. Postmus, whom Russ had met in 1994 when both were involved in supporting Republican candidates, had been caring and supportive throughout both of his bouts with cancer, Russ said. During his latest health challenge, Russ testified that Postmus offered him encouragement and called him daily while he was in New Orleans.
Russ, nevertheless, may have inadvertently added even further to Postmus’ credibility problem with Judge Smith regarding his claimed “moment of clarity” on the witness stand under cross examination by Keller. Russ indicated that prior to testifying in the court case, Postmus had indicated to him he was already highly conscious of the contradiction between the district attorney’s office’s narrative of events and the defense’s contentions about what Postmus had testified to before the grand jury. “He talked to me about how he was in a dilemma, between a rock and a hard spot,” Russ said. “He said if he told the truth, he would be in trouble with the prosecution but if he kept with his testimony, he’d be able to go home free.”
Lawrence also put Postmus on the witness stand once again, giving him an opportunity to relate how he has overcome the grip that methamphetamine once had on him, and has been off drugs entirely and consistently for more than six years. He has also become, through a sober living network, a sponsor to four other men who are struggling to put their abuse of drugs behind them, Postmus testified.
Postmus’ presence on the witness stand, however, gave Mandel another opportunity to aggressively question him.
Mandel asked him if he believed his use of drugs is what caused him to violate the public trust as both a supervisor and county assessor. Postmus said he believed that if he had not been under the influence of drugs, things would have gone differently.
“Did you take a bribe from Mr. Burum?” she asked
“No, ma’am,” he responded.
“Did you steal from the people of the county?”
He acknowledged that he had used his county issued credit card when he was assessor to purchase gasoline when he was on a trip to Colorado.
In her summation, Mandel told Judge Smith “The people recommend a sentence of no less than five years.”
She noted that Postmus had been charged with conspiring with Erwin, Biane, Kirk and Burum in the Colonies case and that it “appeared he was rendering a benefit to his co-conspirators by his false testimony.” Postmus had subjected the county’s lawyers who were representing it during the litigation with the Colonies partners to abuse and retaliation and had done likewise to those county employees who had come forward to expose the misuse in the assessor’s office when he headed it. “He threatened to destroy their careers if they attempted to expose corruption,” Mandel said. “He was as an aggressive and obnoxious bully who destroyed those who tried to protect the taxpayers from his illegal activity. He took advantage of his position of trust and confidence. He claimed he was a pawn in the game of the prosecution who was bullied by investigators and that he was only prosecuted to get bigger fish. That was a side show. The narrative that the investigators were only interested in big fish has enabled the defendant to continue to rationalize his conduct.”
Mandel then turned from addressing Judge Smith and walked to just behind Postmus, addressing him directly. Gesturing at him, she fairly thundered, “You are the big fish. You had a high duty and you used it to wreak havoc on the citizens of this county.”
Mandel then referenced that element of Postmus’ admission that he had been victimized by Erwin who had extorted him into supporting the Colonies lawsuit settlement. Those such as Burum and others corrupting county officials would not be enabled to compromise government if it were not for corruptible and self-serving public officials such as Postmus, she indicated. “They can’t buy an official act if it isn’t for sale,” she said.
Postmus, she said, is not truly remorseful. “He took no responsibility,” she said. “He continues to try to claim he did not take a bribe. He only takes responsibility for the first time he took drugs. He says, ‘I didn’t do it, but if I did, the drugs made me do it. His unwillingness to accept this is based on his belief that all of this wasn’t illegal. He was so deeply immersed in a culture of corruption he had no view of what is right and wrong.”
Mandel said it was undeniable that Postmus had engaged in a quid pro quo and she scathingly referenced Lawrence’s rhetorical question, “What’s the big deal? Everyone knew he was running the PAC [political action committee].” The big deal, Mandel said, is that “He was a public official who is supposed to be transparent about his public activities. This PAC was done solely to conceal the source of the funds. He gave away millions of dollars for personal gain.”
Judge Smith said that he had taken into careful consideration all of the factors in mitigation and aggravation with regard to Postmus’ activity.
“If only the charges Mr. Postmus were facing on sentencing were those of bribery related to the Colonies settlement, I think I would be hardpressed to sentence Mr. Postmus to prison because a prison sentence would not be appropriate for those offenses since the court has to make acknowledgment of the fact that two separate juries rejected the premise that the settlement was the result of bribery,” Judge Smith said. “The retraction of Mr. Postmus’ earlier statement was not the sole reason for the verdict or perhaps even the largest factor, but it was a significant factor in those verdicts. If that were the only count it would be difficult and unfair for this court to have Mr. Postmus take the fall for everyone and go to prison. I would be reluctant to do that. That would not be fair.”
Judge Smith continued, “Unfortunately for Mr. Postmus, those are not the only charges he is facing.” Smith offered the view that the assessor’s case represented a “seriousness of circumstance and crime. Mr. Postmus was an elected official. He is a fiduciary of public funds. Public funds are not some vague entity. These are citizens’ tax dollars. As an elected official and department head he had a fiduciary duty to protect those public funds so they are not only not wasted but not utilized for improper purposes. He violated that public trust and he violated his fiduciary duty with regard to public funds. As discussed here in these proceedings, the allegations with regard to Mr. Postmus’ conduct within the assessor’s case is significantly greater than the allegations that involved people such as Mr. Gutierrez, and you have to look at the circumstances surrounding that. When he became assessor, he wasn’t someone off the streets who had no political contacts. He came into office having been chairman of the board of supervisors. He had significant contacts. He used that political influence to create positions that were funded by tax dollars. If those positions were needed in the assessor’s office and were filled by people doing the job and making the office more efficient, then he was doing his job. On the other hand, if those new positions were created to appoint friends and cronies and do favors for people associated with the board of supervisors who had previously made offers of support to him and he received that support, that casts those positions in a different light. Mr. Gutierrez was appointed as a favor to Mr. Burum. Mr. Gutierrez received money for his work and while there he didn’t do any work for the assessor’s office. He used that position  to conduct politics and as an additional source of income. A jury found those allegations true and found Mr. Gutierrez guilty. The trial judge determined that Mr. Gutierrez had no other criminal record. But the circumstances of taking that position and taking those public funds and not doing the public’s work was so egregious that the trial judge imposed a sentence of 2 years and 8 months in state prison. That caused some concern for Mr. Postmus. Mr. Postmus was responsible for appointing Mr. Gutierrez. Mr. Gutierrez’s was not the only position within the assessor’s office subject to those same allegations. There was Mr. [Greg] Eyler, who had a relationship with Mr. Postmus. The allegation was that Mr. Eyler received a public position and was paid for being in that public position with taxpayer money but was doing little work. These were not isolated incidents. Mr. Postmus was hiring political cronies and expending public funds and there was no commensurate work done in the assessor’s office for those public funds.”
Judge Smith said he took into account Lawrence’s assertion that what Postmus had become involved in was “due to unusual circumstances” that are now “unlikely to occur, as the unusual circumstance was the threat from Mr. Erwin in the Colonies case, and Mr. Postmus is no longer in office. Certainly it is true that he is no longer in office means those circumstances cannot reoccur. But it doesn’t change the fact that it was an intentional decision by Mr. Postmus and it was an ongoing decision. An additional fact for the court to consider is whether there was sophisticated criminal planning. With regard to the assessor’s office, I think there was some sophistication in the planning. That scheme was developed first requiring the creation of new positions, getting the board of supervisors to fund those positions and then filling those positions with friends, political cronies or as favors to others. There was sophistication and it was on an ongoing basis.”
For the several reasons he enumerated, Judge Smith said, a sentence of probation would not be appropriate.
With regard to the the Colonies case, Smith sentenced Postmus to two years in prison for conflict of interest and three years for conspiracy to commit bribery, as well as for three years for misappropriation of funds. In meting out punishment for Posmus’ involvement in the assessor’s case, Smith sentenced Postmus to three years in prison for misappropriation of public funds and another three years for perjury. The two year sentence for conflict of interest was inapplicable, since it rose out of the same set of acts involved in one of the other acts for which he was convicted and sentenced. Smith called for all of the three-year sentences he handed down to be served concurrently, so that Postmus’ actual sentence does not equal 12 years but three years. With good behavior, he will be eligible for release at the halfway point of his three year term, or in 18 months. Smith further credited him with two days served and one day of good behavior, which will shorten his upcoming time in incarceration by three days.
Smith reduced all of Postmus’ drug charges to misdemeanors, and then dismissed them in total, pursuant to Proposition 47, the 2014 law that reduced many nonviolent drug and property felony offenses to misdemeanors, making drug law offenders candidates for probation.
Upon Lawrence’s request, Smith granted Postmus a short stay to put his affairs in order, requiring that Postmus present himself for incarceration in Smith’s courtroom S-21 on the sixth floor of the San Bernardino Justice Center at 8:30 a.m. November 30.
Lawrence gave indication he will file an appeal of Smith’s ruling on both the denial of the plea withdrawal and the sentence.
–Mark Gutglueck

The ruling coalition that has dominated Upland for most of the last twenty-three months was severely compromised in the November 6 election. As a consequence of the way voters in the 77,000 population at San Bernardino County’s gateway into Los Angeles County along Route 66 cast their ballots, two of the members of that four-member coalition, Councilman Gino Filippi and Councilwoman Carol Timm, will leave the council next month. Exiting with them will be Councilman Sid Robinson, who was appointed to the council in December 2016 after he was narrowly defeated by Janice Elliott in the November 2016 municipal elections. The opportunity for Robinson to join the council without having first obtained the endorsement of the city’s voters came about because in the same November 2016 election, then-Councilwoman Debbie Stone had emerged victorious in a head-to-head contest with then-Councilman Glenn Bozar. Moving into the mayor’s spot, Stone was obliged to resign the council position to which she had been reelected in 2014. Robinson, as the top vote-getter among the also-rans in 2016, was given the honor and privilege of joining the council to complete the last two years of Stone’s council term.
Almost immediately upon Robinson taking his place upon the council dais, an affinity between the quartet of Stone, Filippi, Timm and Robinson was evident, into which Elliott sought to merge, at first successfully. For more than two months there was near unanimity on the council with regard to all of the city’s items of business considered and voted upon by the panel.

Janice Elliott

Ultimately, however, a schism between Elliott and the others emerged as the council pressed toward completion on an effort that had been initiated under the council as it was previously composed to close out the city’s 110-year old municipal fire department and annex everything within the city limits into a county fire service assessment zone and have the county fire department provide the city with fire suppression and emergency medical service, entailing a yearly per household/parcel assessment of $153 that Uplanders had not previously had to bear. The council majority and the county’s local agency formation commission had arranged for the county fire department takeover to be effectuated without a vote of the city’s residents, a maneuver vigorously opposed by many city residents.
The council sought to passively ignore that protest, but Elliott instead refused to squelch the voices of opposition, seeking to use her status as an elected official to hold what she called “town hall” meetings to allow her constituents an opportunity to weigh in on the plan. Sensing that these forums were providing breeding grounds upon which the citizen opposition to the dissolution of the fire department might metastasize, the council majority and senior city staff undertook to curtail Elliott’s reach, at first upbraiding her for mischaracterizing the confabulations she was holding as “town hall meetings,” pointing out that such forums can only be held under the auspices of the entire city council’s authority and not at the discretion of a single council member. When, contrary to what the council had hoped, this did not dissuade Elliott, who simply continued to meet with those second-guessing the council with regard to the fire service transfer to the county in a context outside that falling under the rubric of an official municipal conclave, the council boldly disregarded the welling protest and voted to have the county local agency formation commission actuate the takeover.
By that point, the council members began personalizing their differences with Elliott, occasionally in very strong terms. In a last ditch effort to bring her back into the fold, the council, using a document purportedly put together by Councilwoman Timm titled “In-House Policy of the Upland City Council,” sought to have Elliott commit to washing the city’s soiled linen behind closed doors. Timm’s document laid out a protocol for having the council keep whatever differences its members might have with one another with regard to the city’s on-the-fly formulations in dealing with issues the city was faced with under wraps, such that no public airing of differences were to take place and all council members’ public utterances, particularly those to the press or into the forum of social media, be approved beforehand by the city council and city manager collectively. The “In-House Policy of the Upland City Council” was considered during a closed door session of the city council without any advance disclosure to the public that the discussion of what some of its members hoped might become an official but secret city policy was to take place.
Such policy discussions are required by the Ralph M. Brown Act, California’s open public meeting law, to be held in a public forum that has been openly noticed ahead of time. Instead, the council had the city clerk disguise the presentation of the policy document and its discussion as one pertaining to an evaluation of the city manager. In the closed session, the document was handed around to the council’s members, who were asked to sign it. At that point, Elliott, sensing that the council was heading into a province outside the law, had the presence of mind to use her cell phone to snap off a photo of the document, which bore Stone’s, Filippi’s, Timm’s and Robinson’s signatures. After the meeting, armed with proof of her city council colleagues’ violation of the Brown Act, Elliott approached the San Bernardino District Attorney’s Office, presenting the photograph to that agency’s Public Integrity Unit as evidence to support her complaint that the council was skirting the law.
Upon learning that Elliott had reported their action to the district attorney’s office, the city council’s members moved to retaliate against her, doing so publicly by stripping her of her city committee assignments as well as her appointments to the regional intercity and joint powers authority representative/board positions that had been conferred upon her shortly after she acceded to the city council.
While Elliott generally continued to vote along with her colleagues in support of nearly all of the city’s routine business items and other action items that came before the city council, she had been cast in the role of Upland’s council dissident, and she lived up to this reputation with regard to some of the more controversial issues that the council became entangled in, such as the raising of the city’s water service rates or the sale of 12 percent of the acreage at Upland Memorial Park to San Antonio Regional Hospital. A certified public accountant, Elliott mounted penetrating questions about the financial figures cited in city staff reports and oral presentations in support of raising the water rates, in particular indications that the city’s water enterprise fund was running a deficit. Subsequent to the vote, in which Elliott was the lone dissenter, it was acknowledged that the account in question was flush with cash. Elliott registered the only vote against the sale of the park property.
In May, the council majority, fed up with what it considered to be Elliott’s contrarian attitude, voted to censure her.
In the meantime, the city was transitioning toward dispensing with its at-large elections, in which the council members were elected in elections in which the voters from throughout the city participated in each race and the candidates likewise had no residency restrictions other than having to live somewhere within the city limits. This year, the city was scheduled to hold its first by-district election, based upon the city having been divided into four districts which consisted of the northwest, northeast, southwest and southeast quadrants, the First, Second, Third and Fourth districts, respectively. In the 2018 balloting, the Second, Third and Fourth districts were to hold their maiden contests. Two years hence, in 2020, the initial First District race is to be held, along with that of mayor, which is yet to entail an at-large vote.
Both Elliott and Robinson were residents of the Second District. With the term Robinson had assumed from Stone due to elapse, he needed to vie for election to remain on the council past December. Elliott as of this year has two years remaining on the at-large term she was elected to in 2016. Nevertheless, upon the elapsing of that term in 2020, Elliot would not be at liberty to run for the council again, as the winner of the Second District race this year would be entitled to a four-year term lasting until 2022. Thus, to ensure her longevity on the council beyond 2020, unless she were to seek to vie in the mayor’s race, Elliott had to run for election this year in the Second District.
That she did. Taking up the gauntlet against her was the darling of the Upland establishment, Planning Commissioner Yvette Walker. Walker had the support of all four of the members of the current ruling coalition on the council, as well as the political machine behind them, composed largely of the business community, core members of the Upland Chamber of Commerce and the development community.
Both Filippi and Timm were up for re-election in 2018. Previously, both were residents of the Fourth District. In order to avoid an electoral showdown with each other, Filippi changed his residency, moving into a business office converted from a single family residence in the Third District.

Ricky Felix

Two opponents came forward to challenge Filippi. One was Ricky Felix, who had been an unsuccessful candidate for the council in the at-large election in 2016. The other was Irmalinda Orsuna.
In the Fourth District, Timm was challenged by two political neophytes, Rudy Zuniga, an operating engineer at a hospital, and Tammy Rapp, a hairdresser and burlesque dancer.
The Upland establishment and the controlling members of the city council and their political machine went into the electoral season with high hopes, indeed the expectation, that both Filippi and Timm would prevail and that Walker would be able to overcome Elliott, maintaining the 4-to-1 ruling coalition by substituting Walker in for Robinson and thus ensuring that the status quo remained in place at least until 2020 and more likely until 2022 and beyond.
That now appears to have been wishful thinking, as the Upland establishment appears to have gone 0-for-3 in this year’s election.
On election night, just after the closing of the polls, at 8:05 p.m., the first vote count was released, which included none of the Upland precincts, and merely the early arriving mail-in ballots from the City of Gracious Living.
At that point, in District 2, Janice Elliott, with 1,331 votes or 54.77 percent, had jumped off to a lead over Yvette Walker, who had polled 1,099 votes or 45.23 percent.
In District 3, Gino Filippi appeared to have stumbled, as Ricky Felix, with 353 votes or 40.09 percent, had leapt into first place, with the incumbent registering 286 votes or 32.57 percent. Irmalinda Osuna trailed both of her competitors with 240 votes or 27.33 percent.
In District 4, Carol Timm looked to be on a trajectory to remain in office another four years, having taken a comfortable if not quite commanding advantage over her competitors with 441 votes or 45.23 percent over Rudy Zuniga’s 367 votes or 37.64 percent and Tammy Rapp’s 167 votes or 17.13 percent.
At 10 p.m. on November 6, the first wave of incoming votes from the city’s polling places had been tallied.
With 11 of 16 precincts in District 2 having reported, Elliott was holding steadily in the lead over Walker, 1,633 votes or 54.63 percent to 1,356 votes or 45.37 percent.
There was little relative movement among the positioning of the candidates in the District 3 race as well, with Felix still in command with 463 votes or 40.37 percent to Filippi’s 356 votes or 31.04 percent and Osuna’s 328 votes or 28.6 percent after three of that district’s precincts’ ballots had been counted.
In District 4, eight of ten precincts reported by 10 p.m.. And though Zuniga had advanced somewhat on Timm, his forward movement did not appear to be sufficient to overcome the incumbent’s edge. Timm had at that point captured 620 votes or 43.42 percent to Zuniga’s 575 votes or 40.27 percent and Rapp’s 233 votes or 16.32 percent.
At midnight, no further counting of Upland’s ballots had been completed.
By 4 a.m. on November 7, all of the Upland precincts had reported.
In the Second District, with the ballots from all 16 of the district’s polling places having arrived and been counted, Elliot, whose total had moved to 2,574 or 53.54 percent, lost ground to Walker, but only slightly, as the challenger claimed 2,234 votes or 46.46 percent.
With all 11 of District 3’s precincts reporting and those ballots tallied, Filippi had slipped badly. Felix was well ahead with 937 votes or 40.92 percent. Osuna had knocked Filippi from second place, such that she was more than five percentage points up on him, having logged 738 votes or 32.23 percent to his 615 votes or 26.86 percent.
Even more dramatic is what had occurred in District 4 after all ten of the district’s precincts had been heard from. Zuniga had made a dynamic bound forward, capturing 1,157 votes or 44.53 percent, surpassing Timm, whose count stood at 1,051 votes, which at that point represented 40.45 percent of the District 4 votes up to that point, followed by Rapp’s 390 voter endorsements or 15.01 percent.
Yesterday, the San Bernardino County Registrar of Voters Office updated the voting results from all around the county, as straggling mail-in ballots that arrived late have been added to the totals, along with the inclusion of so-called provisional ballots, i.e., ones about which some question as to their validity or the registration status of those casting them existed. As election officials have verified those provisional ballots as valid, they have been counted.
As of 4 p.m. yesterday, November 15, Elliott had solidified her lead over Walker, 3,722 votes or 54.14 percent to 3,153 votes or 45.86 percent.
Felix was comfortably ahead of Osuna, 1,285 votes or 40.29 percent to 1,079 votes or 33.84 percent. Filippi was even further out of the running than he had been previously, with 825 votes or 25.87 percent.
In District 4, Zuniga with 1,638 votes or 45.37 percent, had widened the gap over Timm, who stood with 1,436 votes or 39.78 percent. Rapp held 536 votes or 14.85 percent.
While the election will not be certified until early next month, all of the votes cast at Upland’s precincts have been counted along with virtually all of the Upland mail-in ballots and the lion’s share of the city’s provisional ballots. Thus, the election of Elliott, Felix and Zuniga appear to be mathematical certainties at this point.
“It is a time of new beginnings for the City of Upland,” Elliott told the Sentinel. “Upland residents want us to openly communicate, to listen carefully, and to work together professionally and respectfully. I am confident we will rise to this challenge as we begin this new chapter in Upland’s history. I want to thank my supporters for your faith in me and for your vigilant efforts to share our messages. I am honored by your trust and will continue to work hard to maintain that trust. I want to thank my opponents who have caused me to reflect on my weaknesses and make needed changes in my attitude and behavior. I hope that now we can work together for our common good.”
Elliot said, “Starting now, we have the opportunity to all work together for Upland’s betterment, to focus on restoring the trust in Upland’s leadership. All of us want the same thing: for Upland to thrive. Now is the time to come together, create a new vision for Upland and work towards realizing our potential. I hope from now on, we can choose kindness and co-operation. We can improve our communications and our decision-making. If we put aside our past differences, overlook shortcomings, and seek common ground when addressing our concerns, we can unify our voices and work more productively. Upland’s first district election has created many opportunities. With your help, it is a new chapter in Upland, pregnant with possibilities.”
Felix said, “It was a good race. It was a tough race. All three of us worked really hard. I am very humbled at the support that was given to me.”
He was not pointed in his criticism of Filippi, but said, “I felt it was time for a change. I have nothing against him. I commend him for his work. I respect him for his work on the council.”
Felix said the current city council members had been too distant from the city’s residents and too insensitive to the needs of their constituents. “Irmalinda [Osuna] really opened my eyes,” he said. “I was impressed by her message and I agree that we need to involve the community more.”
Felix said he did not want to function in lockstep with the rest of the council, as Filippi, Stone, Timm and Robinson had insisted on doing.
“I am going to try to be as independent as possible,” he said. “I will be out there, going into the community and I will be here at City Hall, talking to residents.”
The clean sweep of three fifths of the council as it is currently composed is not a setback, Felix insisted. “I feel good about it,” he said, remarking that the addition of Zuniga and the vote of confidence given to Elliott strengthens rather than weakens the city. “I think we will be able to work well together, but as always, I am independent from anyone and from social media or groups of that sort,” he said. “I am always willing to hear everybody. It shouldn’t matter if they hate me or love me. If they are residents, my goal is to listen to them and do what I feel is best for the community, for our city. My focus is on District 3 and I really want to make us a better district, but having said that, I’m a representative for everyone in Upland.”
Zuniga said, “I am so honored by the election outcome and I am very hopeful that the results will become official and I will be declared councilmen-elect in District 4. I am ready and beyond eager to roll my sleeves up and get to work for everyone in my district, as well as for everyone in all four districts in the City of Upland. I believe that even if my 106 vote lead over Carol Timm as of Tuesday, November 6 is reduced by the provisional ballets still being tallied, that I have done incredibly well in this race and my family has so much to be thankful for. I am so incredibly grateful to the voters in District 4 and so very humbled by their trust in me, to truly represent them.”
Continuing, Zuniga said, “I simply could not be more proud to live in a city where the residents united in every district and voted for a major course correction for our entire city, in what now seems like a citywide revolution. I would like to thank everyone that took a chance on me, who voted for me, who believed in me, who helped me and volunteered for me, as none of this would have ever been possible without so many unwavering Upland residents. Please know if victorious and successfully elected in District 4, after every vote is counted, I will work my heart out for our community. I will try to win over all 78,000 residents living in Upland in the next four years, by dedication, determination and public accountability. I will serve with integrity, honesty, transparency and with reverent respect for every resident in the City of Upland.”
Paul Trawnik is the co-owner of Steel Details, a business located on 9th Street in downtown Upland that designs bridges and other steel structures. His wife, Linda Nani Trawnik, was Filippi’s campaign manager.
At the November 12 Upland City Council meeting, Paul Trawnic in remarks made during the public comment period of the meeting sized up what the election meant for him and other members of the Upland establishment.
Of the election of Elliott, Felix and Zuniga, Trawnic said, “Only time will tell if they are the right choice for Upland.”
Trawnic said the candidates favored by the establishment had gotten a raw deal on November 6.
“I do want to set the record straight on what I perceive to be a real injustice that was done in the last few weeks of the campaign,” Trawnic said. “I specifically want to focus on a mail and internet campaign that was waged to attack the character and credibility of sitting Councilman Gino Filippi. I hold in my hand one of seven different attack mailers that were sent out in the final weeks of the campaign that were paid for by a group calling themselves Business Leaders For Ethical Government Although the name would imply a group of civic minded businesses, this is in fact the PAC [political action committee] name used by Jeff Burum and Jim Previti, who are the main competitors of the Lewis Development Group.”
Burum and Previti are developers. The Lewis Group of Companies is the corporate successor to Lewis Homes, a highly successful residential real estate development company created by Ralph Lewis in the 1950s, which prospered and grew under his guidance and that of his wife, Goldy in the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s. In time, they handed off control of the company to their four sons, Richard, Randall, Robert and Roger. Since then, the company grew from handling single family residential subdivisions exclusively to incorporating multifamily elements into their development schemes and then retail components into the master planning. In recent years, the company, which has expanded into areas in California far beyond the Inland Empire and across the California border into Nevada, has ceased to function as a homebuilder, instead concentrating on getting entitlements to build large scale master planned and specific planned communities that are then spun off to contractors to complete. Lewis Homes is certainly within the top three or four, and arguably the single most, successful corporation based in Upland.
“Jeff Burum was one of the ones indicted in connection with the Colonies in North Upland along with some government officials prior to Gino Filippi taking office,” said Trawnic. “In fact this type of corruption is exactly what Councilman Filippi ran against eight years ago to try to clean up Upland politics According to documents filed, Burum and Previti put together a $100,000 PAC to run a smear campaign in order to discredit Gino and the sitting council and get them removed from office, in my view, not because of their corruption but because they couldn’t be corrupted. These ads accused Councilman Filippi of making backroom deals with the Lewis Brothers. In reality, anyone can check through the state finance laws what contributions the candidate receives. If you do, you will find no recorded contributions from the Lewis Companies to the Filippi Campaign, whereas Burum and Previti set up a $100,000 fund to send out repeated attack mailers to all of the voters in Councilman Filippi’s district at a cost of thousands of dollars in order to help assure his defeat and help his opponent. I think it should be obvious where the real corruption lies.”
Continuing, Trawnic said, “As for me, I think Upland should be grateful for councilman Filippi’s time in office, along with Carol Timm and Sid Robinson. They together brought the city back from the verge of insolvency and were successful in bringing many high quality businesses to Upland to help them grow and prosper. In short, I believe the outgoing council should be proud of the things they have accomplished and leave with the knowledge that their ethics and hard work have served to make Upland a better city.”
