Charges which surfaced at the height of this year’s electoral season that the administration in the Central School District had utilized public money for political purposes was resurrected this week when a district official offered information which suggests a mailer sent out in October contained an overly optimistic misrepresentation of the district’s state of finances.
The first week of October, the district at a $7,800 expense sent out a mailer to 18,000 households within the boundaries of the Central School District. Ostensibly, that flier outlined educational and other programs available at district schools and provided an update on Measure N, a $35 million bond approved by voters in 2014 to repair and update facilities. It stated “The Board of Trustees approved a 44 million dollar balanced budget for 2016-17, just four years after the biggest spending cuts California has ever seen in K [Kindergarten] thru 12 education.” Further down on the page it listed the names of the district’s board of trustees – Joan Weiss, Kathy Thompson, Stacy Henry, Hugh Jackson and Barbara Rich, in that order – as well as the district’s superintendent, Donna Libutti.
The mailer arrived in the mailboxes of district residents just as the absentee ballots and sample ballots for the November 8 election were being delivered to registered voters throughout the county, including those in the Central School District. The City of Rancho Cucamonga boasts five school districts, of which the seven-school Central School District is one. The district and Libutti came under fire at the time the mailer went out because two of the district incumbent board members, Joan Weiss and Kathy Thompson, were being challenged by Robert Moya, a retired railroad executive who has a grandchild attending school in the district. The mailer celebrated the district’s recent accomplishments and listed programs and activities at the district’s schools, while touting Central as “one of the top school districts in the county.” It read, in part, “The district maintains high levels of accountability and transparency to ensure all funds received are used to meet the needs of all students.”
It was alleged that the mailer was a thinly-veiled effort to boost the campaigns of Weiss and Thompson. Libutti, who had made no secret of her support of the incumbents and had been criticized by Moya on a number of issues, publicly took responsibility for the creation and posting of the brochure. Libutti was using public money, her detractors charged, to improperly advantage Weiss and Thompson. Ultimately, Weiss and Thompson were victorious on November 8.
The matter would have receded into obscurity but for a development this week, when Lori Isom, the district’s assistant superintendent for business services gave the district’s first interim financial report on the district’s ongoing 2016-17 budget. In the report, Isom contradicted the information in the mailer sent out in October. In 2016-17, Isom projected, the Central School District would, by the end of the fiscal year on June 30, 2017, show a deficit of $985,205.97 based upon conservative calculations. Additionally, Isom said, the district would run deficits of $1,975,330.11 in 2017-18, and $2,060,151.05 in 2018-19. Isom used the term deficit in reference to a situation in which the district’s income in those years would fall below the amount of expenditures. She said the calculations were made upon the assumption that the district would receive the least amount of revenue due it from its various state and federal sources and that its expenditures would be the maximum that could be anticipated, given normal expenditure factors such as teacher leave and sick time. In all likelihood, Isom said, the deficit the district would actually run in each of those years would be less than projected. She said that because of declining enrollment at the district’s schools, the district would be reducing its faculty numbers, largely through natural attrition brought on by teacher retirements on a yearly basis. Despite the projected spending deifits, the district would remain solvent, Isom said, by virtue of its beginning balance available at the beginning of each fiscal year, consisting of a combination of carryover funds from the previous years and the district’s reserves.
In this way, Isom said, the district had a beginning balance of $7,425,662.33 as of July 1 of this year; will have a beginning balance of $6,490,456.36 as of July 1, 2017; and a beginning balance of $4,515,126.25 on July 1, 2018. The district is projected to take in $44,756,242 this current fiscal year and spend $45,750,447.97; receive $42,886,277 in fiscal 2017-18 and spend $44,861,607.11 in the same time frame; and bring in $43,258,150 in 2018-19 and spend $45,358,201.05 during those 12 months, again according to Isom’s conservative projections.
Isom said the district is required each year to give a certification of its financial condition to the state, using three standards: positive, meaning it is projected to meet all of its financial obligations for the next three years and maintain a three percent reserve; qualified, meaning it might not meet all of its financial obligations for the next three years and still maintain a three percent reserve; and negative, meaning it definitely will not meet its financial obligations over the next three years while maintaining a three percent reserve. Recording a negative financial certification can trigger the state’s takeover of a financially challenged district.
Isom said the Central School District is able to maintain its positive qualification, despite the projection of deficit spending, because of the cushion of the beginning balance projected for each respective budget for 2016-17, 2017-18 and 2018-19.
David J. Palmer, a parent in the Central School District, this week told the Sentinel, “The Central School District superintendent mailed a controversial brochure update during the recent election to the community that stated: “The Board of Trustees approved a 44 million dollar balanced budget for 2016-2017, just four years after the biggest spending cuts California has ever seen in K thru 12 education.” This was controversial, as it was brought to the public’s attention that this may have been a political move by the superintendent to help the incumbents’ re-election campaign. The brochure cost the district $7,800 to produce and mail. Previous updates were produced in house and sent home with students. The district has now admitted it is in a state of deficit spending and it projects that runaway spending will continue. This proves that the brochure was a lie and corroborates the allegation that it was sent as a political move.”

One week ago, in a Victorville courtroom, a row of orange suited male inmates waiting their turn for justice were grinning and choking back delight while Kristen Raquel Arthur, in a dramatic display of apparent competency, confidently stood before a judge, and “fired” the deputy public defender who was assigned to her case. By all outward indications, the defendant, who is being forced to submit to a mental competency examination and hearing, appears to be quite lucid.
“I want to fire my public defender” Kristen said. “He don’t communicate. He made fun of me. I want to get my lawyer in (to help me get back on track) for the career I want to pursue.”
Judge Charles Umeda, presiding over the court, turned to the deputy public defender sitting beside her, and asked for an explanation.
Deputy public defender Eric McBurney iterated that earlier in the morning the defendant had informed him that she had new representation, Jerry Steering, who had a previous court engagement and could not be at the hearing that day. Umeda, after looking at his calendar, set a new court date, after which Kristen responded: “He,” looking at McBurney, “was the one who thought I was incompetent.”
Umeda replied, “Well, we are going to set the hearing for next week now, Friday at 8:30, do you understand?”
Kristen replied with a smile, “Yes.”
Arthur, had previously been characterized by McBurney, as “the Shark” for having bitten a cop. Calling her “Jaws” prior to the judge entering, McBurney’s insult evinced laughter from a crowded court room when an earlier preliminary hearing was about to get underway. Today, again before Judge Umeda in Victorville Superior Court, she was represented by John Ponce, a Victorville criminal lawyer. It is anticipated that the new representation will be granted time to familiarize himself with the case in which Kristen is accused of battery upon a law enforcement officer.
Kristen Arthur, however, alleges, and there appears to be evidence to indicate, that she was falsely arrested and incarcerated on May 11 when she was offered “a lift” home by a female deputy after she left the Circle K in Needles, transported in a patrol unit to a crime scene at another location where a second deputy was waiting, pulled by her hair to force her out of the car, tazed and handcuffed, slung to the ground, prodded in the anus and then beaten by the two deputies who are now saying she attacked them. Kristen asserts that after she had been mauled by them, one reached toward her mouth, at which point she reacted by biting.
At an August hearing, a psychiatric examination was ordered by the court, and supervising deputy public defender Mark Shoup argued that there were extenuating circumstances during the arrest that caused Kristen to behave in a manner that is unlikely to ever happen again. “Kristen has been in custody for three months, which is more time served than if she would have actually been convicted of the offense of vandalism,” Shoup said.
The initial arrest and detainment in the patrol vehicle appears to be without cause since the “suspect,” according to the police report, was actually a male wearing a ball cap. It is now acknowledged that Kristen Arthur did not fit the description of the suspect. Though the initial charge of Vandalism PC 594(A) – the breaking of a window – used as justification for detaining and holding Arthur was dismissed two days later, on May 13, 2016, new charges of two counts of assault against a police officer PC 243 (b) were filed at that time and the bail was increased from $100,000 to $250,000.
Jerry Steering, who is known as the “police misconduct” attorney, stated “a cop who violates your constitutional rights will almost always try to frame you for a resistance arrest. The police are often successful in their attempt to shift the blame for their use of unreasonable force upon their false arrest of innocents by procuring the bogus criminal prosecution of their innocent victims for a ‘resistance offense.’”
Assault on a peace officer, is considered a “resistance offense.” Steering said that a tactic frequently used by prosecutors to keep law enforcement officers from being sued for the use of excessive force is to “stomp their victims into submission by overcharging innocents to keep them in jail on high bail. That often results in a guilty plea to a ‘resistance offense’ to just get out of jail. That precludes an innocent defendant from successfully suing the police.”
After being booked, Kristen was not allowed to have visitors for 60 days. Booking photos are not available and she asserts no photos were allowed to be taken of her. She claims that her face was bruised and beaten and that booking photos were not taken for that reason. She was incarcerated and was not allowed to make contact with her family in Needles, who at first had no idea what happened to her.
The district attorney’s office is now arguing that Kristen is “incompetent” to stand trial under California Penal Code Section 1368 and is dangerous. It has been suggested that the officers might prevent her from testifying against and about what happened by sending her to Patton Hospital, which is reserved for the criminally insane.
The case prognosis has significantly shifted in her favor with the retaining of a private attorney who can potentially build a civil case during the criminal trial.

In the last fortnight, well over half a decade after Southern California Edison engaged in a cascade of mistakes and boneheaded decisions in moving ahead with the installation of defective replacement steam generators in 2010 and 2011 that ultimately resulted in tube leaks, system degradation, the release of radiation and ultimately the permanent shutdown of the San Onofre nuclear plant, two further elements of the crooked deal hatched in 2014 by our crooked governor and his cronies to transfer the lion’s share of the $4.7 billion cost of closing down the San Onofre plant from Edison to that company’s customers played out…
In the first, Maribeth Bushey, an administrative law judge with the California Public Utilities Commission who was looking into the matter relating to having Southern California Edison ratepayers cover $3.29 billion – 70 percent – of the nuclear plant closure cost at San Onofre was hired as a vice president of Advanced Microgrid Solutions, which is essentially a corporate extension of Edison…
In the second, Governor Brown appointed Democratic Congressman Xavier Becerra as California Attorney General, virtually assuring that everyone involved in this illegal mish-mash will go unprosecuted…
In 2012 what was supposed to be a routine refueling and replacement of the reactor vessel head at San Onofre resulted in a radioactive leak largely – though not entirely – inside the containment shell and the entire reactor was shut down as a precaution, whereupon an inspection of both of the reactor’s units found premature wear on over 3,000 tubes in 15,000 places, a by-product of shoddy engineering and workmanship during the 2010/2011 steam generator replacement. Company officials, in what was likely the most responsible move they could make and which, to their credit they did make, elected to shut the facility down, permanently. Following that debacle, they set about at once finding a way to minimize the expense of that move, which, if things had been done rightly and properly, they would have borne in its entirety. Instead, they essentially bribed our governor and a whole host of California’s public officials to transfer that burden to Edison’s customers…
Edison plied its case to the California Public Utilities Commission, the members of which are appointed by and serve at the pleasure of the governor, that the company – or more precisely it’s stockholders – should not bear the brunt of the plant closure cost. Ultimately, the commission would sign off on an arrangement through which Edison would be free to defray 70 percent of the cost through rate hikes on its customers…
At that time, Michael Peevey was the chairman of the California Public Utilities Commission. Peevey was the former president of Edison, having served in that capacity before he was appointed to the California Public Utilities Commission originally by Governor Gray Davis. He is married to Carol Liu, a Democratic California State Senator who left office on November 30. He is a major mover and shaker in the Democratic Party’s California fundraising machine…
During 2012 and 2013, Peevey was engaged in a secret dialogue with Stephen Pickett, Edison’s executive vice president, and other Edison corporate officers, the gist of which pertained to how Edison might ensure that the cost of the San Onofre plant closure would be transferred to the company’s customers rather than its stockholders. Mr. Peevey, in his role as chairman of the California Public Utilities Commission, was supposed to be looking after the interests of California’s citizens. Instead, he was colluding with the industry he was supposed to be regulating. Over time, a plan evolved. The deal was sealed, essentially, on March 26, 2013, far from Southern California it would turn out, at the Bristol Hotel in Warsaw, Poland, where Peevey met with Pickett and hammered out a deal by which utility customers are to pay $3.29 billion of the $4.7 billion in costs for the full shuttering of the plant.
Between 2011 and 2014, $4.4 million originating with energy companies was donated to the Democratic Party. A considerable amount of that money came from Edison. In roughly the same time period, according to Consumer Watchdog, the Democratic Party infused Brown’s reelection campaign fund with $4.7 million…
An egregious example of this pay-to-skate formula is Southern California Edison’s donation of $130,000 to the California Democratic Party on March 26, 2013, the very day that Public Utilities Commission President Michael Peevey was in the swanky Bristol Hotel in Warsaw cutting the above-referenced deal with Mr. Pickett…
There are other indicators that our governor is into this up to his neck. Consider that on June 6, 2013, the day before the utility announced it would not seek to restart San Onofre, Governor Brown was meeting with President Barack Obama and Chinese President Xi Jinping in Palm Springs. In such exalted company, one might be expected to turn his cell phone ringer off. Not our governor. In the midst of that meeting, Governor Brown received a call from Edison International Chairman Ted Craver. With the two presidents standing by and forced to engage in a little bit of idle chit-chat, Governor Brown took Craver’s call, during which Craver informed him of the decision to close the San Onofre plant for good. According to an email Craver wrote to his board of directors, the governor was supportive of Edison’s plan to douse the reactor. During the call, Craver provided Brown with talking points, to the effect that Edison was “taking the high road” and “insuring system reliability for our customers.” The next day Brown put out a news release in which he was quoted as saying, “Since the San Onofre nuclear power plant went offline last year, energy utilities and the state have worked to provide Southern California with reliable electric power year round.” A coincidence, perhaps…
We now know these things because of the persistent and intrepid efforts of a public interest lawyer down in San Diego – former assistant U.S. Attorney Michael Aguirre. Mr. Aguirre and private investigators working for him unearthed evidence of the Warsaw meeting between Peevey and Pickett almost two years after it occurred. Mr. Peevey’s failure to disclose that meeting is a violation of the law, but he has yet to be prosecuted. Late last year, the commission fined Edison for having engaged in the secret conferences with Mr. Peevey. Edison thought that was the end of it. But many people feel that those secret meetings set up a circumstance that has resulted in customers taking a $3.3 billion hit. Mr. Aguirre’s investigators and others have dredged up some other interesting tidbits…
It seems that our governor has taken an interest, as he should, in matters pertaining to utilities and both the development and delivery of energy in the Golden State. I must report, however, that some of that interest pertains not to making sure that the citizens of California are getting a square deal, but that he is able to cash in personally on the energy bonanza. I have it on the highest authority that last year our governor used his executive power to extract from California’s oil regulating agency maps, geologic surveys and records relating to oil and natural gas reserves beneath his family’s 2,700-acre ranch in Colusa County. Furthermore, Governor Brown has not merely entrusted decisions pertaining to California’s utility companies to the commission but has on occasion pressured commissioners to change their votes. Communications in the form of emails and text messages that have been obtained by lawyers, investigators and journalists show that Governor Brown is told in advance – well in advance – of actions to be taken by the commission. Why and how? Because his right-hand woman, that is, his chief of staff, is Nancy McFadden, who was previously a senior vice president at Pacific Gas & Electric…
There are indicators that graft has invaded our state government at the highest level…
Governor Brown’s office has steadfastly refused to release his emails, even when they bear directly on issues of public policy such as those involving the California Public Utility Commission. But some of these emails have been obtained indirectly from some of those to whom they have been mailed and communications between others have surfaced, the contents of which raise serious questions about the degree of the governor’s complicity in some shady dealing and his inability or unwillingness to hold commissioners and others who have violated the public trust to account…
Earlier this year, there was a ray of hope. It seemed, for a fleeting moment at least, that the festering circumstance involving the closure of the San Onofre plant was going to be given the disinfectant of some sunlight. In May, due to Aguirre’s incessant importuning, California Public Utilities Commissioner Catherine J.K. Sandoval and Administrative Law Judge Maribeth Bushey gave indication that they wanted to revisit the entire matter. Judge Bushey and Ms. Sandoval said the meeting between Michael Peevey and Stephen Pickett gave them pause and they wanted to determine if something untoward went on…
Now comes word that Bushey has been hired by Advanced Microgrid Solutions, an energy-storage start-up with its corporate headquarters in San Francisco. The company was founded by Susan Kennedy, herself a former member of the California Public Utilities Commission as well as the chief of staff to Republican governor Arnold Schwarzenegger and cabinet secretary in the administration of former governor Gray Davis. Advanced Mircorgrid Solutions is a creature of Edison, described variously as an Edison contractor or one of its corporate subdivisions. Bushey is to lead Advanced Microgrid’s legal and government relations divisions. She left her gig with the California Public Utilities Commission in October, prior to the inquiry she had begun in May being completed…
Governor Brown’s appointment of Xavier Becerra, a tried and true Democrat, as California Attorney General coincided with the California Supreme Court’s refusal to take up an appeal on a lawsuit brought by Mr. Aguirre seeking release of 65 known emails that passed between Governor Brown and/or his office and the California Public Utilities Commission regarding the San Onofre nuclear plant. Both the governor and the commission have declined to release those communications. In 2015, Mr. Aguirre brought suit over the matter in San Francisco Superior Court, which agreed to take the case. But the utilities commission sought relief from the appeals court, which agreed with the California Public Utilities Commission and blocked the emails’ release. Aguirre sought review by the California Supreme Court, which denied that petition…
One hand washes the other, it seems. Attorney General Becerra is not going to prosecute our crooked governor. I guess, in a court of law, we can’t prove that our governor is a crook, even though he is one…
Here’s hoping he sues me and the Sentinel for libel. But he won’t do that. Truth is an absolute defense in any libel action. Besides, if he does sue, then we will get to see those emails, which will prove he is a crook…

Don Maroney

By Mark Gutglueck
Donald Maroney, one of the longest serving city attorneys in San Bernardino County and California history, died on December 3.
Maroney’s was a brilliant mind that was channeled into the arena of law for 46 years.
Before attending law school or passing the state bar, Maroney racked up a series of accomplishments that distinguished him and his intellect. By his early trajectory he seemed destined for a career in high finance or the field of banking at the international level or with the Federal Reserve, but a handful of events would shift his focus and redirect him toward a legal career.
Even before he was born, Donald Maroney was recognized as precious human cargo. He was born in a hospital in Salt Lake City, Utah, to which his father, George Maroney, had driven his mother, Faith Maroney, because at that time the maternity ward in the hospital at Boise, Idaho, where the couple resided, was less thoroughly equipped and boasted a less-experienced staff than the one across the state line.
George Maroney was the county agent in Boise. Faith Maroney was a former concert pianist who worked as a piano teacher. Donald Maroney was six years old when he moved with his parents to California, where George Maroney would obtain a professorship at Pasadena City College, teaching chemistry. In 1930, the family settled in Modesto, where George Maroney taught chemistry, biology and physiology and coached the golf team at the junior college there. In high school, Don Maroney proved himself a gifted tennis player, earning his varsity letter in the racket sport. He was also a consummate violinist, meriting the position of first chair in the high school band. Upon graduation, Maroney matriculated at the University of California at Berkeley, where he majored in economics, graduating with a Bachelor of Science degree in 1942.
At that point, as was the case for practically every American of his generation, Don Maroney’s life was interrupted by the Second World War. In 1943 he joined the Navy and was accepted into officer training school at Northwestern University near Chicago and was on track to becoming a PT boat captain. By his own account, he grew skittish at the prospects of commanding such a small vessel on the open seas in the midst of a world war in which the mortality rate for such crews was considerably higher than that of other naval recruits. He tested out, based upon his expertise in economics, to be a supply officer. He was sent for further training at Notre Dame University in Indiana and to Harvard for administration courses, finally making it into the field of action as a lieutenant in the Pacific in 1944, where he was detailed to the 102nd Construction Battalion (the Seabees) in Finschhafen, New Guinea. While there, he was given the assignment of constructing an open air entertainment amphitheater, which he carried off, promptly, efficiently and under budget. At the maiden performance at the amphitheater, however, a 16-foot long, 45-pound python slithered out of the jungle and into the stands, seemingly intent on making a meal of one of the audience members. The commotion interrupted the performance while the uninvited drama crasher was hauled aside and shot. Decades later, Maroney would recollect with consternation his initial alarm at what had occurred and his later resentment at being called on the carpet by a superior officer over the incident.
Sometime after Douglas MacArthur’s October 1944 return to the Philippines, the U.S. Navy recommitted to establishing its military base of operations there and Maroney, with the Seabees, was given a billet at Subic Bay. As the war was winding down, in mid-1945, Maroney was given a stateside assignment in Stockton at a POW camp for Germans captured in the European Theater. Officially, he was the mess officer at that facility. Nevertheless, as with nearly all of his activity, Maroney would go beyond the letter of his duty, and he was instrumental in humanizing the somewhat dehumanized conditions of confinement to which the soldiers of the Nazi regime found themselves consigned. Calling upon his own accomplishment as a musician, Maroney obtained authorization to recruit from among the prisoners those with musical ability, and thus formed a prison orchestra, to the members of which were entrusted instruments according to their particular talent. In this way, performances within the walls of the prison as well as in venues outside the camp were given. The participating prisoners were provided an outlet for their energy, all prisoners found a respite from their soul-deadening confinement, and the local populace abutting the camp was favored with entertainment and an illustration of the culture and refinement of the German Volk their adherence to Nazism notwithstanding. Perhaps most importantly, the participating musicians were vouchsafed a headstart on being reintegrated back into society and civilization.
After the war had been concluded, Maroney was discharged from the Navy as a lieutenant commander and he too would find himself faced with the same challenge of reintegrating back into a society now jaded with the horrors of the most consuming war in history and its horrific conclusion against the backdrop of the deaths of some 73 million combatants and civilians. Accompanying the positive accomplishment of the defeat of Nazism and Fascism was the negative consequences of the advancement of Soviet Communism. Maroney and his fellow inductees were now faced with returning to a place between the Atlantic and Pacific not much different from the place they had left, one yet beset with the same social ills that had plagued America before the war which in no way had been remedied by the war. By the end of 1946 he had settled upon pursuing law as a career and was attending USC Law School.
He graduated from USC Law School in 1949 and immediately passed the bar. He went to work for Henry Busch, who was then Ontario’s city attorney. He was initially paid $100 a week.
In 1950, he married Loris Mercer, The couple raised eight children born between 1951 and 1965: Gay-Lynne Maroney; Robin Maroney; Raymond Maroney; Susan Maroney, who later married Lee Hudson; John Maroney; and Neal Maroney. Don Maroney had established a home in Upland and all six of his children were born at San Antonio Hospital.
Maroney learned the ropes of the legal profession under Busch, who later, in addition to being Ontario’s in-house counsel, became the city attorney for Upland. After Busch was elevated to the bench, Maroney became Upland’s city attorney, a position he then held for a third of a century.
Maroney loved practicing law and going to the mat for his clients. His habitation of the adversarial system, however, did not blind him to the reality that coming to an accommodation between litigants often represents a far less costly outcome than litigating many matters to a conclusion, and he had perfected the art of compromise to a science. His advice to the junior members of his firm, as well as the municipal department heads in Upland who had found themselves enmeshed in an unforgiving legal confrontation was “just handle it,” which was very often construed as “make a face-saving settlement acceptable to all parties.”
He once told a newspaper reporter who had been informed that Maroney had “never lost a case” that the reporter needed to find more reliable sources of information because, Maroney said, he had lost many a case.
For the last thirty years of his career as an attorney, Maroney was in partnership with Barry Brandt, under the aegis of the firm Maroney and Brandt, at that time Upland’s largest law firm. The relationship between Maroney and Brandt started out as an adversarial one in which they each represented parties in litigation against one another.
According to Barry Brandt, “I was a much younger man and had just come out of the Judge Advocate General’s Office with the Air Force and was practicing at a local law firm. To tell you the truth, I was not completely happy there. Don and I had a case together and as the opposing attorney, he had moved to assign a deposition at a different office and when I showed up for the deposition, Don wasn’t there. I was miffed, I must say, and when I called him up, he was completely apologetic. He bent over backwards to undo the problem. He had inadvertently offended me, but what he did was not out of arrogance. He was something like 13 years my senior and he could have pushed me around on the basis of that, but he did not. That case brought us together. You can learn more about somebody in the course of a trial than just about anywhere else. When you are in battle, the way you behave when you’re in the foxhole tells a whole lot about you and your character. During that trial, I said to myself ‘I want to be around this guy more often’ and when the opportunity came for us to go into practice together, I took it.”
Their firm, Brandt said, dealt in a wide spectrum of the law. Maroney’s line of expertise was in municipal law, business law and probate law. Maroney’s longest lasting, largest and most consistent client was the City of Upland. Brandt said, “Don and I had a lot of business clients between the two of us.”
According to Brandt, “Don had a razor-sharp mind, but he had a real talent for keeping you from thinking he did. He didn’t want you thinking he was smart. He had this self-deprecating manner. But for me, I never forgot who was the wise old sage and who was the understudy.”
There was an element of cunning and stealth to Maroney’s practice of law, Brandt said, which he himself would later benefit from. “We were coming up on a trial and he gave me the file on the case, together with a document that was about to be filed. He told me to read it. I looked it over and said, ‘This is really bad. You can’t file this.’ Don said, ‘Why not?” I said, “Because the opposing lawyer will think you’re an idiot.’ Don said, ‘That isn’t so bad, is it?’’
Brandt learned from his partner in other ways.
“Relatively early on, he was telling me about how he had gone into Los Angeles on a settlement,” Brandt said. “The plaintiff had put a lien on Don’s client’s property. The case was on the brink of being settled. The other lawyer asked Don, ‘Did you bring the check?’ Don said, ‘Yeah. It’s right here.’ Don gave the lawyer the check. The lawyer looked at it and said, ‘Everything appears to be in order. It was nice to meet you.” Don said, ‘Well, then, we need a release.’ The lawyer said, ‘We’re not going to give you a release.’”
Brandt continued with the narrative, “I was still a pretty headstrong young man at this point and I’m thinking about how I would have reacted. I can tell you, I would not have just backed down, and no one would have pulled anything like that on me. No matter what would have happened, I wouldn’t have let another lawyer just walk away with a check like that. At this point I’m upset with Don for letting himself get pushed around. So I asked, ‘What are you going to do?’ Don said, ‘I already did it.’ I said to him, ‘What do you mean?’ Don said, ‘I just said to him, “You know, I’m just a simple country lawyer. This isn’t the first time I’ve been had like this. You really got me,’ and took a step back. He let his guard down when I said that, and I reached out and grabbed the check and put it back into my pocket under my vest. I told him, “When I get the release, you’ll get the check.”’”
Brandt offered another vignette of Maroney in action. “We had a case in Pomona and we were there for a trial setting conference,” Brand said. “Don said he was making a motion for nontrial, to outright dismiss the case. At once, the judge ordered us into chambers. So there we were, in chambers – the judge, Don and I and plaintiff’s counsel – and the judge, who was obviously upset, said ‘What do you mean?’ Don said, ‘Everything he has cited is plain wrong, Your Honor, and you’ll just have to dismiss this case.’ The judge asked why. Don said, ‘With regard to this part, on technical grounds. Look at sections 2840 through 2848 (or whatever it was) and you’ll see why.’ So the judge asked about another one of the causes of action. Don said, ‘Well, that’s covered by Smith vs. Jones, 1937 (or whatever it was). It continued on like that for a few minutes with Don just narrowing the case more and more. Finally, the judge said to the plaintiff’s attorney, ‘It looks like he’s right. I’ll give you ten days to answer on all of those points.’ And ten days later, he dismissed the case.”
Despite Maroney’s ability to tear the opposition’s case to shreds on legal or factual grounds, Brandt said that Maroney had forbearance and empathy, recognizing the imperfections in the legal system and was unwilling or constitutionally incapable of using the law as a cudgel to beat anyone, or just about anyone, into the ground. “He was a peacemaker and dealmaker,” Brandt said. He kept his clients and the city and the people his clients went up against out of vendettas and paybacks. I keep coming back to what his mantra was: ‘Just handle it.’”
In 1971, Maroney moved with his family to Fallbrook, on property that had 20 acres of avocado trees and 25 acres of orange and lemon trees. The Maroney brood, Don and Loris and four of their six children who were not at that point old enough to be attending college lived in a trailer on the property for nearly four months while a house was built. Don was required to make an-hour-and-a-half commute to work at that point.
In 1978, the Maroneys sold the avocado and citrus farm in Fallbrook and moved to Corona.
For three decades, Maroney was a mainstay at Upland City Council meetings. Years later, a position for the city attorney would be reserved for the city attorney and city manager on the council dais, but in those days, Maroney would observe, and on occasion participate in, the proceedings from a position in the first row of seats on the left side of the council chambers. Maroney would sit upright, usually to the immediate right of the city manager. Soon after recitation of the Pledge of Allegiance and the audience was seated, the meeting proper would begin, first with Maroney reporting on any action or non-action taken during the closed door session of the council immediately prior to the public meeting. Voting on the consent calendar would ensue, followed by other items of civic business and/or public hearings. Sometime during the consideration of the consent calendar, Maroney’s eyes would close and he appeared to be asleep. If ever an issue meriting legal attention surfaced during discussion, however, Maroney’s eyes would open and he would offer ample indication through his analysis and comment that he had been hyperconscious throughout.
In 1981, with the last of their children having achieved college age, Don and Loris moved from the large house in Corona to Hacienda Heights.
A challenge that Upland, and therefore Maroney, faced in the 1980s and early 1990s, was the nepotism represented by the presence of Frank Carpenter on the city council and the status of Carpenter’s wife, Dee, as Upland’s elected city clerk. Both were entitled to hold their positions as a consequence of a voter mandate. Yet conflicts manifested and Maroney had to deal with some prickly issues, which required tact and diplomacy, as well as the ability to resolve contentions quietly and out of the public limelight without embarrassment to either husband or wife, without endangering his own position and while keeping the public’s interests from being intruded upon. Maroney would face a similar challenge in the 1990s, when Gail Horton was a member of the city council and her husband, John Scanlon, was fire chief.
In addition, Maroney would also need to deal with headstrong councilmembers and mayors in Upland during his tenure as city attorney, such as Bob Nolan, whose political reach exceeded their legal grasp. Maroney, skillfully, was able to conform their action to the law, requiring them, on occasion to trim their sails, yet somehow maintaining his position as city attorney, despite the consideration that he served at their pleasure and could be terminated by a simple vote of three of the council’s members at any time.
In 1983, Maroney and Loris separated. Don moved to Upland. Soon thereafter, the couple divorced. Maroney, seemingly overnight, became a target of virtually every predatory female over the age of 30 on the eastern end of the San Gabriel Valley and the entirety of San Bernardino Valley. Some were more aggressive than others. Many, it would turn out, had teenaged or adult sons who had fallen afoul of the law and were seeking legal representation for their offspring. Others saw Don as their ticket to riches or social standing, as he might instantly transform one of them into the spouse of Upland’s premier lawyer. One outwardly attractive and alluring woman appeared to be making considerable headway in this regard and was sharpening her claws with a mind of sinking them deeply and securely into Maroney’s flesh. One evening, as the couple was engaged in a serious discussion, which contained a hint of permanence and monogamy, the woman, daringly, asserted she had very high standards and asked if Maroney was prepared to do what it would take to keep her. This broke the giddy air of fascination with which she had been beguiling her prey, and Don adroitly disengaged himself from her thereafter.
In 1994, Don, at the age of 74 was no longer playing tennis and had moved to Pinion Hills in the desert just northwest of the Cajon Pass. At that point he was felled by what was termed a “baby stroke.” This hampered his function somewhat, but not completely. He did not remain in Pinion Hills long, thereafter, moving in 1995 to Oceanside. The following year, he retired for good as an attorney. When he left as Upland’s city attorney, the city would award him a plaque with the words “Just handle it.” A handle was attached to the plaque.
Shortly after he retired, he married Loretta Roknian, the widow of a former client. They relocated to Upland. Don quickly recognized the union was an unwise one and the couple were separated for more of the two years their marriage lasted than they were together. The divorce finalized, with Mrs. Maroney, nee Roknian, realizing very little in the way of profit from the short term nuptials.
Once he was no longer in the thick of legal issues, he said, more than once, that he wanted to take up being a college student once more, and study auto mechanics.
In 2000, Maroney moved to Apple Valley, where he remained for the remainder of his life.
On occasion, Maroney reimmersed himself into public issues, in particular in Upland. After his departure, the City of Gracious Living had careened into scandal following the election of John Pomierski as mayor and the establishment of a political machine that used as its capital the proceeds from bribes paid to ensure the approval of projects and proposals being processed at Upland City Hall. From time to time Maroney wrote missives to Upland elected officials, making observations of the anomalies he detected, warning that things were amiss or offering his advice as to how the city should proceed.
“He was just a remarkable guy,” said Brandt. “He was a gentleman’s gentleman and his guiding principle was kindness. He had six kids and he looked after them. There was some illness in his family and he always made sure those things were taken care of. He retired before I did and was living up in Apple Valley and I would go to see him. He had been bedridden for a few months earlier this year and his speech was impaired. But a few weeks ago, he seemed to be getting better. He was 96 and it seemed like he might make it to 100. Last week, he took a turn for the worse.”
There was nothing dramatic at the end. Maroney went to bed on Friday night and never woke up.
Maroney is survived by his children: Gay-Lynne Maroney, Robin Maroney, Raymond Maroney, Susan Maroney Hudson and her husband Lee, John Maroney and his wife Jennifer, Neal Maroney and his wife Lisa; 4 grandchildren, Elliot Maroney, Emily Aprea, Kevin Maroney, Courtney Maroney; and 3 great grandchildren. Don was married 33 years to the late Loris Mercer.

Two weeks ago I traveled outside of San Bernardino County to the Los Angeles Mission and visited with Scott Johnson, who is the vice president of operations. I had the opportunity to meet with Christian Urias who lives in the L.A. Mission. Christian was one of 15 people accepted into Pepperdine University’s special program degree certification for the homeless. He will be graduating December 15th 2016. Upon completion Christian’s goal is to go mobile with his fashion ideas. He intends to help homeless people living on the streets and low income people by bringing his mobile boutique to them with affordable fashion prices. Twentyfive-year-old Christian was living dangerously on the streets, and with the help of the Los Angeles Mission and the Mission chaplain he received help to jump start into society through the enterprise program offered by Pepperdine University for L.A. Mission people who are wanting to better themselves. The program teaches entrepreneurial skills, and through this Chris got the idea of his mobile boutique. Pepperdine also offers a grant once the course is completed, and Chris is part of the grant due to his completed business plan. The small grant is to help get started and get out of homelessness. This kid has definitely been through some trials and tribulations but his plan and love for fashion is what has kept him from going back to a life on the streets and onward to a life that he really wants. He is on his way to to getting his mobile boutique, and clothes lined up but will continue to need help. If you would like to learn more about Chris and how to help jumpstart his career, please reach out: Scott Johnson His number at the Los Angeles Mission is: (213) 629-1227 x 467, or email: Sjohnson@lamission.net. Chris’s art is sure to take him places, and it is only because of his determination and passion for living doing what he truly loves. He has a way to go to get his Mobil boutique but for now he’s survived the fashion street scene.

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.

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.

The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. 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.

Rod Butler

By Mark Gutglueck
Palace intrigue rivaling that of any in the royal courts of Europe in the Seventeenth and Eighteenth Centuries played out at Upland City Hall earlier this year before hitting fever pitch earlier this fall.
A series of mostly clandestine events, triggering moves and countermoves and the merging of in some cases contrary political agendas resulted in a cascade of both formal and informal investigations, the ultimate outcomes of which remain in doubt. This has been accompanied by a drawn-out bureaucratic bloodbath which itself may or may not be through, one which has so far entailed the termination of the city manager and three department heads, and the narrow avoidance of the firing of the assistant city manager.
The dramatis personae in this tale include former city manager Rod Butler and the man brought in to replace him at least on an interim basis, Martin Thouvenell, assistant city manager Jeannette Vagnozzi, former fire chief Paul Segalla, former finance director Scott Williams and community services director Roberta Knighten.
At the heart of the matter are issues in large measure yet hidden from the public. Looming larger into the public consciousness are a series of decisions that have continually postponed a comprehensive reckoning with financial reality which at present is causing city officials to serious contemplate the ultimate dissolution of the city’s 110 year old fire and police departments. Moreover, more than four months after the city council cashiered city manager Rob Butler without any explanation, information has surfaced to indicate the council took that action because a majority of the members had come to believe that he had purposefully hidden from them or otherwise misrepresented to them crucial financial information.
Exacerbating the situation for Butler was the presence of his second-in-command, Jeannette Vagnozzi, an ambitious rising star in the municipal administrative constellation whom Butler had brought in last year, ostensibly to serve as his aide-de-camp and hatchet-woman, who had been serving as the assistant to the city manager for nearly a decade in the not-too-distant City of La Verne, three cities removed from Upland west across the border with Los Angeles County. Ultimately, Vagnozzi’s involvement in his administration would contribute to Butler’s demise in Upland.
Butler’s presence in Upland was itself remarkable. It is unlikely that there is anyone with as much municipal managerial experience as Butler possesses who was less suited to be Upland city manager in the time he would inhabit the office. A journeyman municipal administrator who had cut his teeth as a young man in Claremont, Butler slowly but steadily ticket punched his way up the governmental totem pole in Chino where he spent four years as a senior management analyst working on financial matters, Ontario, where he was an administrative officer in the city’s housing and redevelopment agencies, and Pomona, where he was assistant to the city manager. In January 2009, at the age of 44 he obtained his first assignment as city manager in Crescent City, where he remained for 23 months and abruptly departed to become the city manager of Patterson in December 2010. After a little more than three-and-a-half years there, Butler departed when he was offered the opportunity in August 2014 to replace Stephen Dunn in the role of permanent city manager in Upland.
Butler had been raised in Upland, where he attended Western Christian High School. He and others hailed his hiring in Upland as a homecoming, and there was talk of Butler, then 50, remaining for the rest of his career in the city of his youth. Upland, where he was given a three-year contract with a base salary of $189,629, was an indisputable step forward for Butler, who had been paid $100,000 yearly in Crescent City, the 7,643-population county seat of Del Norte County, and $135,000 annually with 19,033-population Patterson. But managing 74,000-population Upland, with its rocky recent history involving its former mayor John Pomierski and former city manager Robb Quincey having been indicted and convicted in 2011, 2012 and 2013 of political corruption, which both had engaged in with the collusion of much of city staff, would prove to be a far greater challenge than Butler anticipated when he took the job.

John Pomieiski

Upland had taken a beating with the Pomierski scandal, its reputation trashed, while its function had been undercut by a housecleaning undertaken by the reformist mayor, Ray Musser, the long suffering political outsider on the council who for nearly a decade had futilely resisted but then succeeded Pomierski after his downfall, and the former finance director, Stephen Dunn, who had been elevated to city manager to succeed Quincey. In that housecleaning, 26 city employees, including four department heads – some of whom were known to have or were suspected of having cooperated with Pomierski and Quincey in their depredations – were shown the door in June 2011. That move both boosted and dimmed morale at City Hall. At the same time, the city found itself saddled with what many deemed overly generous salaries and benefits that had been provided to city employees, including police officers, during the Pomierski regime to buy their silence with regard to the highly questionable activity that had been going on at City Hall during the first decade of the Third Millennium. That generosity included conferring upon city employees pensions that would pay many of them a yearly retirement stipend approaching or matching their annual salaries while they were working. In this way, the city, which by the time Butler arrived had a general fund budget in the $40 million range, was saddled with having to make an annual payout of approaching $7 million of that $40 million – roughly 17.5 percent – to pay for former employees no longer working for or contributing anything toward the current function of the city. This took a sizeable bite out of the money available for basic city operations. And while some city employees were unconnected and uninvolved in the excesses of the Pomierski years, still hiding among them were several of Pomierski’s enablers, ones who were yet enjoying the spoils – in the form of inflated salaries and benefits – of the Pomierski corruption.
Affable and easygoing, full of Christian charity, Butler was constitutionally incapable, it seemed, of taking a hard line with anyone. The prospect that he would ride herd on a municipal structure that was in need of constant guidance, not to mention committed discipline that would include forcing the city’s employees to give back the spoils of corruption by making concessions in contract bargaining, was equally unlikely. Indeed, Butler sought to outright ignore the more unpleasant and confrontative elements of his job, exuding warmth and bonhomie, endeavoring to get along with everyone, being responsive to all parties’ concerns in words or promise, but unable to be decisive when responding with action to one demand or set of demands put him in conflict with another demand or set of demands.
Complicating the circumstance was the leadership team Butler had inherited. Upon arriving In Upland, the closest thing Butler had to a second-in-command was Stephanie Mendenhall, Upland’s administrative services director/human resources director/city clerk. Mendenhall had been the city clerk contemporaneously with Pomierski being mayor and Quincey being city manager, and she had processed while she was city clerk a number of highly questionable arrangements directly related to the corruption of the Pomierski regime. Among those were seven enhancements to Quincey’s contract as city manager which resulted in his total annual compensation package zooming from $235,000, consisting of $195,000 in base salary and $40,000 in benefits and deferred compensation when he was hired in 2005, to a base salary and add-ons of $368,529 with benefits of $92,096 by January 2011, for a total annual compensation of $460,625, making him among the highest paid city managers in the state. Mendenhall, as city clerk, processed at least two of those enhancements without a vote of the council and based only upon the signature of Pomierski on the document granting Quincey each of those raises. What is more, Stephanie Mendenhall’s husband, Jeff, was Upland police chief when Butler became city manager. Mendenhall had been an up-and-comer in the police department during Pomierski’s reign, during which the department ignored increasingly obvious indications that Pomierski was on the take, shaking down individuals with applications for permits at City Hall or projects pending before the Upland Planning Commission or Upland City Council, which Pomierski controlled, and taking in bribes as fast as those who understood the political lay of the land in Upland were willing to hand them out. Repeatedly, in 2004 and in 2008, the Upland Police Officers Association supported Pomierski in his quest for reelection. In return, Pomierski utilized Quincey to continuously up both the pay and benefits for members of the police department, including that of the rank and file officers and those of higher rank, such as Mendenhall. Brought in to function within this milieu, Butler found himself unable to buck the current that called for keeping city employees, who had moved so far ahead by acceding to the Pomierski’s formula for governance and self-enrichment, in the money themselves.
To get along, Butler went along. He would soon be given the sobriquet of “Mr. Smiley,” in reference to his seemingly perpetually friendly countenance calculated to melt the heart of anyone he was dealing with. Still, the more he attempted to please everyone, it was beginning to become apparent that he was not pleasing anyone. Simply stated, Upland needed less of a Christian and more of a lion.
Paradoxically, two events very early in Butler’s tenure slickened the ground beneath his feet.
He had been hired in the midst of the 2014 municipal election cycle. Two of the council incumbents, Debbie Stone and Gino Filippi, were vying for reelection. Another incumbent, Brendan Brandt, had opted out of seeking reelection. Vying in that election were a number of others, including planning commissioner Carol Timm and Stephen Dunn, who had left as city manager in June of that year. While he was city manager, Dunn had installed as his administrative assistant Annette Guthrie, who had previously worked under Dunn as an employee in the finance department when he was Upland finance director. Guthrie had remained in that position after Dunn’s departure, however, and the interim city manager who had succeeded Dunn, one-time La Verne City Manager Martin Lomeli, and Stephanie Mendenhall, had determined that Guthrie’s administrative assistant position was superfluous. While the city was in the process of eliminating the administrative assistant post at the time Butler arrived, that process had not yet been completed. Stephanie Mendenhall, in her capacity as administrative services director and human resources director, took possession of Guthrie’s office computer, whereupon her review of email correspondence thereon showed communication between Guthrie and variously Stone and Filippi, which Mendenhall deemed as being related to Stone and Fillippi’s then-ongoing electoral efforts. The matter was complicated by the consideration that Guthrie and Dunn were at that point cohabitating and Dunn, Stone and Filippi were running for city council as a slate. Accusations that Guthrie was misusing city facilities for political purposes were raised and she was ushered toward the door, though a $50,000 severance was conferred on her as she left. Butler, who had been in the city manager’s position for less than a month when this was consummated, acquiesced in Mendenhall’s sacking of Guthrie. Because of the alliance that had developed between Dunn, Stone and Filippi by that point, Stone and Filippi’s relationship with Butler had essentially started off on the wrong foot.
Secondly, during Butler’s first week on the job, Lomeli remained at Upland City Hall as a consultant to assist in getting the newcomer oriented. On his second day, Lomeli hosted a meeting with former Upland Police Chief Martin Thouvenell. In the course of this meeting it was suggested that Butler have the city hire Thouvenell as a consultant/adviser. Butler, who said he would consider the suggestion, never acted upon it.
Not quite six months into his assignment as city manager, Butler encountered signs that his tenure with the city might not be all that secure. As the council took up his six-month performance review, Stone and Filippi’s displeasure with the resolution of the Guthrie matter and Filippi’s unspoken disappointment that Thouvenell had not found a place in Butler’s cabinet manifested. At that point, there was an indication that both Stone and Filippi would entertain having Butler replaced. That proposal failed to get the necessary support of a third member of the council.
In the late winter of 2015, Butler himself privately expressed his hope that many of the difficulties facing Upland could somehow resolve themselves, that a modus vivendi between the factions on the council could be worked out and that he might just be able to hang on to his job at least through his second anniversary in Upland in August 2016 and maybe to the completion of his contract in August 2017. But as Winter 2015 transitioned into Spring 2015, it became increasingly clear that Butler would not be able to carry any of that off by the force of his milquetoast personality alone. To remedy the situation, Butler asked for, and was granted, authority to hire an assistant city manager.
Thus, Jeannette Vagnozzi entered the Upland picture. Vagnozzi came to Upland from LaVerne, where for 25 years she had held increasingly more important, involved, and complicated positions of responsibility, ranging from public information officer to municipal elections officer, public outreach coordinator, risk manager, city treasurer, strategic planner, city clerk and finally assistant to the city manager.
Officially, Vagnozzi was expected to take on the assignments that Stephanie Mendenhall abandoned when she retired from the city in July 2015 – administrative services director, human resources director, risk management director and city clerk. Those were her official functions and she was vouchsafed the title of deputy city manager. Unofficially, but more accurately, she was to serve as Rod Butler’s backbone, serve as his hatchet-woman, do the dirty work he was incapable of or unwilling to do himself.
It is not known, precisely, at what point, Vagnozzi, who is not without ambition of her own, came to recognize the opportunity before her. Within five to six months, upon fully acclimating herself to Upland, she would realize that Butler’s grip on the post of city manager was growing tenuous. Indeed, a city consultant would offer a warning to Butler that he need be very careful with regard to Vagnozzi, expressing himself in strong language, telling Butler he could end up with his “throat cut.” In his typical fashion, Butler disregarded such a disquieting suggestion and he instead embraced Vagnozzi as a key member of his managerial team. He was in no position, nor was he psychologically equipped, to run an organization in which he was at odds with the individual handling the primary elements of his function. Governance in Upland was already complicated enough.
A wild card in the mix was the mercurial political ebb and flow in Upland, not too much different from some other cities, with interlocking but constantly interchanging alliances that modulate, shift and evolve with the emergence of different issues or the rush of time and exigency.
Upland is a quasi-bedroom community that nevertheless has the attenuated benefit of two of its major arterials – Mountain Avenue and Foothill Blvd. – featuring relatively robust commercial uses. In terms of economics, it also bears a relative disadvantage in that its major arterial – Euclid Avenue – exists as one of the most resplendent residential venues regionally, indeed in the entire State of California, or the entire United States, Newport, Rhode Island, Palm Beach, Florida, Brentwood, Beverley Hills and San Marino notwithstanding. Thus, while boasting status as an upscale community, Upland’s municipal structure suffers because it lacks the intensified revenue stream available to less wealthy cities in which their major streets are devoted entirely to being sales tax-producing commercial districts. In this way, Upland’s financial situation is more delicate than many less affluent communities in San Bernardino County, such as Ontario, or Chino Hills, Rancho Cucamonga, or even Fontana or Victorville.
Consequently, Upland is constantly under the gun to make ends meet. The generous giveaways it made to its employees under Pomierski and Quincey have exacerbated the situation. A key position at Upland City Hall is thus the finance director. Indeed, the last full time city manager prior to Butler, Stephen Dunn, was elevated to the city manager’s post largely on the belief that the city would do better under someone who had a full dimensional understanding of the city’s fiscal circumstance than it would if it were guided by an outsider steeped in the principles of general municipal management. In this way, Scott Williams, who had previously served as the financial adviser for the Regional Governmental Services Authority in Napa and the finance director in Sonoma and as finance director in San Bernardino, was on the front line, as it were, in Upland’s struggle to survive as a municipal entity. A little more than three years before Williams’ arrival in Upland, an auditor’s opinion made in 2012 by the certified public accounting firm Mayer Hoffman stated there were serious questions with regard to Upland’s solvency to the point that in a short while “it will be unable to continue as a going concern.”
Williams considered it his first duty, as did others, to provide the city council, the city employees up the chain of command, the department heads abreast of him at City Hall, city employees at all levels and the general public with straightforward information relating to the city’s financial condition. His second duty, he felt, was to supply all of those entities with a panoply of options to assist the city in maintaining its solvency. Williams, whose hiring by Upland predated by more than three months the hiring of Vagnozzi, initially was able to perform those tasks essentially unfettered. He developed a rapport with all five members of the city council, despite their political differences, and had established within his first three months on the job a reputation as no-nonsense bean counter, who nevertheless embodied a degree of imagination in his make-up, and was seriously dedicated to keeping the lifeblood of municipal life, revenue, flowing in and in the proper proportions to the various city departments, no matter how parsimoniously it had to be doled out because of fiscal reality. Simultaneously, he was mindful of the importance of husbanding the city’s reserves and keeping them in interest-bearing accounts or lodged in investment instruments that would assure the city was not losing ground against inflation or permitting its holdings to stagnate. And he respected, as well, the legal restrictions a municipality such as Upland must function within, keeping funds earmarked for specific purposes sequestered and safe from being tapped into and used for unauthorized programs or operations.
One of the issues within his creative field was visualizing how current operations might be altered to derive some savings. Already undertaken in this regard were so-called outsourcings. In 2014 and 2015, the city moved to shed itself of its library and animal control divisions. Williams would suggest to top city officials that they seriously consider enlarging upon this concept. Reasoning that the city’s public safety division – the fire department and police department – accounted for 72 percent of city spending on salaries and benefits, he suggested serious contemplation be given to having the police and fire departments closed out and the county sheriff’s department being brought in to provide law enforcement services on a contractual basis and that the city look at having the county’s fire division or the California Division of Forestry assume firefighting and emergency medical service provision within the city limits.
In January 2016, the city council, acting on a concept first put forth by Jason Gaudy, a member of the Upland Fiscal Task Force that was formed in 2013 to analyze the city’s options for dealing with its financial challenges, passed the Upland Fiscal Responsibility Act. The Upland Fiscal Responsibility Act, which was passed unanimously by the city council, mandates that the city “base its operating capital on demonstrable sources of revenue.” Moreover, the act states, “The city shall maintain cash balances to adequately provide for economic uncertainties, local disasters or catastrophic events, and other financial hardships or downturns in the local or national economy or contingencies for unforeseen operational needs. The city shall retain, per policy, a minimum unassigned fund balance of at least 12.5 percent of general fund operating expenditures, with a goal of bringing the total level of reserves up to 25 percent.”
Simultaneously, Butler, who was working with Williams on constructing a city budget for 2016-17, had assigned Vagnozzi to carry out contract negotiations with the city’s firefighters through their union as part of the collective bargaining process. After some back and forth, Vagnozzi offered, and the union accepted, a contract enhancement that called for granting the firefighters substantial pay increases in accordance with their accrued experience, referred to as “steps.” Vagnozzi would report that this pay increase would represent a relatively minor added cost to the city of $50,000 or thereabouts per year. By mid-spring 2016 the contract negotiations with the firefighters union and work toward a budget had coalesced into a budgetary package proposal that was previewed – in stages – by the city’s finance committee, consisting of council members Debbie Stone and Glenn Bozar along with city treasurer Dan Morgan. Over the course of two meetings, planned expenditures and anticipated revenues were mapped out. Based upon the feedback from the committee, Butler, Vagnozzi and Williams presented a proposed budget to the committee at its last scheduled meeting in May, well ahead of the traditional June 30 deadline to have such budgets in place in accordance with the July 1 to June 30 governmental fiscal year.
The committee, led by Bozar, a proclaimed fiscal watchdog whose political trademark was his commitment to prevent the profligate spending of taxpayer dollars, rejected Butler’s proposed budget, taking issue in particular with the divergence of gas tax, which the city had traditionally used for road repair and street maintenance, into the general fund. Moreover, the committee objected to the proposal, layered into the budget, of raising salary and benefits of city workers by 10.02 percent and upping expenditures by 8.13 percent, and bemoaned that the proposed budget was overrunning the projected 0.47 percent sales tax growth and 6.3 percent property tax increase the city would experience. This, Bozar proclaimed, and both Stone and Morgan agreed, violated Upland’s Fiscal Responsibility Act.
Moreover, Bozar and Morgan were pushing for the budget to include an overt indication of the specter of future debt the city was accruing in the form of the city’s continuously growing pension costs. Bozar and Morgan focused in particular on the consideration that the pension fund the city participates in, the California Public Employees Retirement System, known by its acronym CalPERS, relies upon meeting a 7.5 percent earnings goal with its investments annually to remain solvent. When that earnings goal is not met, the governmental entities involved with it must make up the difference. Bozar noted that for three years running, CalPERS’ investment pool had badly underperformed, requiring Upland, like all other cities participating in it as well as the state government, to pull money away from its budget and fork it over.
During June, the committee and the council considered and reconsidered subtle reworkings of the budget made by Butler in conjunction with Williams and Vagnozzi. But again and again, Bozar took the lead in questioning facets of the spending plan, and the routine approval of the budget Butler hoped for stalled. Both Butler and Vagnozzi were resistant to the concept of eliminating or limiting staff compensation increases. On multiple occasions during public meetings, Bozar endeavored to peer behind the numbers presented in the budget, putting both Butler and Vagnozzi on the spot. In doing so, Bozar would engage in direct questioning of Williams, who had an absolute command of the numbers in the budget. Williams, in answering Bozar straightforwardly and truthfully, empowered Bozar in making his case that Butler and Vagnozzi would need to return to the drawing boards and make further cuts in individual department budgets. During such exchanges the tension in the room was palpable, and it was noteworthy that these represented one of the few times when the perpetual smile that inhabited Butler’s face while he was in the limelight disappeared, as he glowered at Williams while he was responding to Bozar.
While the balance of the council initially supported Bozar in his demands that the budget be adjusted, Butler, somewhat intransigently, refused to move the gas tax revenue out of the general fund. At the last city council meeting in June before the June 30/July 1 new fiscal year deadline, Bozar again importuned his council colleagues to delay approval of the budget. At that point, however, it appeared that Butler had succeeded in outwaiting Bozar. The four other council members – Stone, Gino Filippi, Carol Timm and Mayor Ray Musser – had lost their patience with Bozar’s budgetary fastidiousness. Tellingly, Stone would offer the sound bite that signaled the council was prepared to finally let Butler have his way on the budget. In a comment that was pointed at Bozar, Stone said, “I completely disagree with Glenn on this. I know you [Butler] are doing your due diligence to be up front. I don’t see why we have to be notified every time Rod wants to do something. We hired him as city manager. Let’s let him do his job.” The budget, as submitted by Butler, passed on a 4-1 vote, with Bozar dissenting.
Butler’s victory over Bozar, however, was a Pyrrhic one. As Bozar had suspected, and as his questioning of Williams in public had partially revealed, the budget was constructed on what might politely be referred to as “soft” numbers, that is, ones that were anywhere from slightly to grossly inaccurate. A case in point was Vagnozzi’s calculation that the raises provided to the city’s firefighters per her collective bargaining agreement with them would run the city an extra $50,000 per year. In actuality that $50,000 figure was applicable to only the last two months of that current fiscal year. In the first full fiscal year under the new contract terms, the actual cost would be $450,000. In the years beyond that, the per-year cost would escalate further, such that by the third full year, the three-year cost to the city would total at that point $1.8 million, and at five years run to approximately $2.5 million.
Williams, who had been put in the very uncomfortable position of having to decide between answering Bozar’s public questions truthfully or demonstrating loyalty to his superiors – Butler and Vagnozzi – by supporting their numbers, sensed, based upon the city council vote in favor of Butler and Vagnozzi’s budget, that he was in a very vulnerable position. Under Upland’s managerial system, the finance director, as do all department heads with the exception of the police chief, serves entirely at the pleasure of the city manager. Moreover, Vagnozzi, as the city’s human resources director, had extended, artificially, Williams’ probationary period with the city. Williams had hired on with Upland in March 2015 as a temporary employee. Normally, a new hire’s probationary period lasts a full calendar year, 365 days, during which time he or she can be terminated without any recourse. Under the standard course of things, as the one-year anniversary of hiring approaches, the employee is given a performance review and if such is satisfactory, the probationary period ends upon that anniversary date and the employee cannot be terminated without citation of cause. Vagnozzi, however, had not officially entered Williams as other than a temporary employee until November 2015, essentially six-and-one-half months after he had actually started with the city. At that time he was hired not as the finance director but as the finance manager, a subtle but nonetheless lower classification than finance director. By the summer of 2016, Vagnozzi and Butler had not yet undertaken Williams’ performance review, and thus the cessation of his probationary status had not taken place. At the drop of a hat, Butler could fire Williams for any reason whatsoever.
Looking over the numbers available to him from his perch in the finance department and examining the representations made to the city council by Vagnozzi and Butler with regard to the budget as well as employee contract negotiations, Williams detected that the figures provided to the city council during its consideration of the 2016-17 budget were inaccurate.
Within a fortnight, word had reached members of the city council that the numbers in the budget they had just passed were unreliable. Stone, in particular, expressed anger and frustration that she had been “lied to.” The primary focus of her anger was primarily with Butler and secondarily vectored toward Vagnozzi. In the backchannels of City Hall, something was up, while nevertheless occurring well below the public radar. The first indication that something was up came when the city council, which normally meets on the second and third Monday of each month in the evening, scheduled an extremely rare daytime special meeting set for July 27, a Wednesday, at 10:30 a.m. That morning, after holding a short public input session on the matter, which was problematic because at that point there was no official announcement with regard to which employee was being considered for termination, the council went into a closed session with city attorney Richard Adams. When the council emerged, Mayor Ray Musser designated Adams to brief the public on what had occurred. Adams then related that Butler had been terminated on a 3-2 vote, with Musser, Stone and councilman Gino Filippi supporting the action.
Since January and February 2015, when Stone and Filippi had given indication of their discontent with Butler, Bozar had been the only member of the council who had evinced any level of serious difference with Butler, primarily with regard to his more conservative attitude with regard to the budget. Indeed, all four of his council colleagues had, just a month before, sided with Butler over Bozar in regards to the budget. Ironically, Bozar and councilwoman Carol Timm were the dissenters in the move to cashier Butler. The council cited no cause in doing so, placing Butler on administrative leave through August 29, making his termination effective as of that date so that he would achieve his two-year service milestone with the city. The council further conferred on the departing city manager the nine months of salary from that date going forward due him under his contract. It was widely hinted that had Musser, Stone and Filippi been amenable to firing Butler with cause and thus withholding from him a severance, Bozar would have supported Butler’s termination.
Significantly, the council did not move to install Vagnozzi, who as the deputy city manager, would in most situations be the logical interim replacement for Butler. Instead, the city council directed, on a 4-1 vote with Bozar dissenting, that Martin Thouevenell, Upland’s former police chief who for a time was also acting fire chief and on two occasions stood in as interim city manager in the 1990s, be appointed interim city manager.
Unspoken at that point was that Jeanette Vagnozzi would be, after a brief but decent interval, out the door behind Butler.
Nevertheless, Vagnozzi remained in place, and for the week or so it took to hammer out a contract with Thouvenell relating to his interim city manager assignment, Vagnozzi served as the de facto city manager. This made Williams, who had already begun to feud with Vagnozzi over city finances, extremely nervous. In her capacity as acting city manager, Vagnozzi had the authority to terminate Williams. Williams took the extraordinary step of asking that the city attorney initiate an investigation into misrepresentations and fraud. In kick-starting the investigation, Williams proffered documentation and sat down with the lawyers and investigators for Jones Mayer, the law firm which employs Upland City Attorney Richard Adams, for a 65 minute interview. In addition, Williams vectored those attorneys and investigators to city employees who, he believed, would confirm his version of what was occurring.
Shortly after his arrival, Thouvenell did a size-up of the situation, as he was brought up to speed with regard to the state of the city. He would meet one-on-one with Musser, Stone, Timm and Bozar, hearing from them their concerns and vision for the direction the city should take. No such meeting with Filippi would be necessary, as Filippi and Thouvenell have long been close friends such that Thouvenell is considered by many to be Filippi’s primary adviser. Thouvenell would learn of Butler’s inveterate indecisiveness and review the myriad of issues that remained unresolved as a consequence of that. He also held similar brainstorming sessions or meetings with the city’s department heads. On August 11, Thouvenell held a three-way meeting with Williams and Dunn, seeking from them, as the two individuals with the most comprehensive understanding of the city’s finances, to get a better handle on the challenges facing Upland.
In addition to being directly tasked with running the city on an interim basis, Thouvenell was assigned to review candidates to permanently replace Butler.
During his several meetings with city officials, Thouvenell expressed his belief that the presence of Vagnozzi as Butler’s right-hand woman was a sign of administrative weakness, that she was an unnecessary vestige and that the next city manager should be one that would be able to function with complete autonomy and on his or her own authority. The implication was that Vagnozzi would soon be a permanent part of Upland history.
Within a very short time, however, Vagnozzi would be able to leverage her seemingly indefensible position to one of, if not strength, survivability.
During a series of meetings with Thouvenell, Williams more fully oriented the acting city manager with regard to the city’s financial circumstance. Thouvenell listened, relatively passively but intently, appearing to take it all in, asking occasional questions for further detail.
Williams was yet concerned that in the uncertain atmosphere of change at City Hall, his position was less than fully secure. Relatively early on, Williams confided this concern to Thouvenell, who reassured the younger man. Thouvenell himself needed guidance as to what the true lay of the land was. He needed financial numbers he could rely on if he were to do his own job competently. Williams, though he was floating in a sea of uncertainty himself, represented a solid Rock of Gibraltar when it came to reliable information about where the city actually stood, what it could afford to do and what was beyond its means, what qualified as unnecessary frills that should be dispensed with and what critical elements of the city’s function could be salvaged by the applications of judicious economies. Williams need not worry, Thouvenell told him. As long as Thouvenell remained as city manager, he said, Williams would remain as finance manager.
To Williams, Thouvenell seemed sincere, angling to not only fulfill the stopgap caretaker role that had been suddenly thrust on him but do what he could to enable whoever it was that would succeed him to make a go of righting the listing Upland ship of state and turn a corner on the seemingly interminable and ubiquitous financial challenges the City of Gracious Living was cursed with. And Williams was anxious to assist Thouvenell in that regard to the extent that he could.
It was at that point that Williams made a crucial move that would in one stroke seal his fate while rescuing Vagnozzi from what appeared to be certain perdition. To assist Thouvenell in mapping out the semblance of a strategy for Upland’s economic recovery, Williams returned to the economic scorecard he had been working on six, seven, eight, nine and ten months previously, the one pertaining to creative means of driving down municipal operational costs. Front and center on that scorecard were further outsourcings, in particular the fire and police departments.
When Williams broached the subject with Thouvenell, the older man did not blanch outwardly, though internally, no doubt, Williams had hit a nerve, indeed an incredibly sensitive one. As Williams ran the numbers by the interim city manager, showing that the city might reap a savings of [$2 million] yearly by surrendering fire protection responsibility to the county and upwards of [$4 million] by closing out the police department and contracting with the sheriff’s department, a major portion of Thouvenell’s life – three decades of it – reeled panoramically through his mind. For thirty years Thouvenell had been a policeman with Upland P.D., from the lowest level as a patrol officer right up the chain of command to becoming police chief.
To be sure, when Thouvenell’s tenure as police chief came to a close in 2005, it had not ended on the best of terms. Not quite five years before that, in November 2000, John Pomierski had been elected Upland mayor. For the first two years Pomierski held office, things went relatively smoothly. Sometime thereafter, however, issues manifested, gradually and somewhat vaguely at first, ones that initially might have been nothing or perhaps passing anomalies, slight aberrations, peculiarities with no deeper or dire meaning. But those anomalies persisted to the point where they were no longer anomalies but the norm, something that was real and recurrent. To Thouvenell, at that point a man with 27 years’ experience as a police officer, the signs were unmistakable. The mayor was on the take. Proof of the sort that could be used in a court of law was somewhat elusive, at least at that point. Those being shaken down, or extorted or paying the bribes, willingly or not, had much to lose and would be in no frame of mind to implicate someone of Pomierski’s stature, the mayor and a major pillar of the community. And Pomierski, while brazen in certain ways, was cautious in others.
Thouvenell was caught in the classic dilemma of a power struggle in the public arena: If he were to strike the king, he must kill the king. If the blow he wielded fell short and he merely wounded Pomierski or simply irritated him and he yet held the scepter in his hand, Pomierski would wield the power of that scepter against Thouvenell, and it would be Thouvenell who would be struck down. And so, Thouvenell tarried.
Along the way, Upland’s then-city manager, Mike Milhiser, was seeing some of the same things that had come to Thouvenell’s attention. The city manager and the police chief traded notes. One reassured the other that what they were perceiving was real. To an extent, they were able to hold Pomierski in partial, but not total check, curtailing the degree to which the mayor’s avarice was in play but not actually stopping it. Neither was in a position, on his own, to effectively bring Pomierski to heel and, for whatever reasons, they never formulated a concerted strategy to do so. Time was passing and as Thouvenell and Milhiser temporized, Pomierski grew stronger. In 2004, he would run for reelection. He did so as an incumbent and from a position of strength. Just like he had illegally and covertly shaken down developers and businessmen with projects subject to city approval, as a candidate for reelection he could legally shake down business and development interests for campaign contributions. In the election, he vanquished his challenger, Ray Musser.
He emerged from that election stronger than ever, with the solid backing of the three other members on the council excluding Musser and the endorsement of the district attorney and the sheriff. If ever Thouvenell and Milhiser could have combined forces to effectively challenge the corrupt mayor, let alone fell him, that time had passed. Pomierski bestrode Upland as some kind of political colossus. In March 2005, with Pomierski marshaling his political might in the form of the support he had from councilmen Tom Thomas, Ken Willis and Brendan Brandt, Milhiser was persuaded to leave without a fight, and Pomierski had the council confer on the departing city manager a $200,000 severance, effectively buying his silence. Within three weeks of Milhiser’s departure, Thouvenell likewise elected to retire.
At some point, Thouvenell would contact the FBI, informing them of his suspicions with regard to Pomierski. Ultimately, the FBI would move on that information, but in a deliberate and excruciatingly slow fashion. In June 2010, more than five years after Milhiser’s and Thouvenell’s departures, the FBI would carry out a raid at Upland City Hall as well as at Pomierki’s home and the homes and business offices of a number of his associates involved with him in securing and laundering bribes. Eight months later, at the end of February 2011, Pomierski would resign as mayor and the following week, in March 2011, he was named in a federal indictment, against which he initially maintained his innocence. Ultimately, in April 2012, he entered a guilty plea to those charges and was given a 24 month sentence.
But in 2005, after the departure of Milhiser and Thouvenell, Pomierski was at liberty, and would remain so for five years, to escalate his depredations. He did so by prevailing upon the three members of the council he controlled to hire his handpicked replacement for Milhiser, Robb Quincey. And Pomierski induced the police department to willingly subjugate itself to his will. He did so by getting the city council to consent to giving Quincey the same contract enhancements that the police department’s employees would get and then further consenting to having Quincey carry out the negotiations with the police union during the collective bargaining process. Since Quincey stood to benefit by the same degree in whatever he provided to the police officers, he proved a soft touch during those negotiations. In this way, Pomierski corrupted the entirety of the post-Thouvenell police department. Since Pomierski was their ultimate benefactor in this arrangement, Upland’s policemen, individually and collectively, from beat cops right up to the chief of police, were in no hurry to investigate Pomierski, let alone go to the effort to actually bring him to justice. By 2008, it was a rare applicant for project approval in Upland who was not in some fashion paying tribute – i.e., bribes – to Pomierski.
In collecting this tribute, Pomierski was in some cases crude and in others more sophisticated. He owned his own construction company – J.P. Construction. One way of ensuring one’s project would be approved was to hire him to do some phase of the project. Another was to hire one of his partners in the “consulting” business – Anthony Orlando Sanchez or Jason Crebs – to assist in presenting the project proposal to the city’s planning division. Pomierski occasionally used one of his associates – John Hennes, the owner of JH Builders who was one of Pomierski’s appointees to the Upland Building Board of Appeals – to collect the money for him. In still others, Pomierski accepted the cash directly himself. The graft was becoming woefully obvious. Yet the Upland Police Officers Association, the union representing Upland’s finest, endorsed Pomierski for reelection in 2008. He handily won that contest, once again against Musser, this time by an even wider margin than in 2004.
Painfully, Thouvenell knew all, or most, of this. He lived through it and could not ignore it, as he was himself an Upland resident. Both of the police chiefs who succeeded him and who had served under him and whom he had personally groomed – Steve Adams and Jeff Mendenhall – were the immediate beneficiaries of the largesse conferred upon them by Pomierski and Quincey. Both would see the per-year multiplier in their pensions increased to 2.5 percent from the 2 percent he himself received, compliments of Pomierski and Quincey. Though he might not articulate it, and though he might not even admit it to himself, at some level Thouvenell knew, in his heart, that the Upland Police Department, after his departure, had been compromised. The members of the department had laid down for Pomierski and Quincey. It was undeniable. The proof was that when at last events overtook Pomierski and Upland’s crooked mayor found himself between the Wheels of Justice, it was the FBI turning those wheels and not the Upland Police Department, under whose jurisdiction those crimes were being committed.
When this summer Scott Williams earnestly laid out for him the option of shuttering the police department and the fire department as a means of saving the City of Upland up to $5 million on the law enforcement component and $2 million on the fire/emergency services side for a total of $7 million per year, whatever lingering bitterness Thouvenell might have felt over the fashion in which he had been forced to prematurely relinquish the job as police chief he loved and the failure of the police chiefs that inherited that position from him to live up to the principles he had abided by were overwhelmed by another factor: his love and loyalty to the department above all else. Flawed as it was, the department was a continuing element of his personal legacy. It would outlast him and his time on this Earth. He would not participate in its demise.
He did not say as much to Williams. He merely took from Williams what he had offered, hardly batting an eyelash.
Meanwhile, down the corridor at City Hall, Vagnozzi could not have been unaware of the sword of Damocles hanging over her head. She yet had her job, but barely and by the grace of a collection of factors, some of which she understood and others which she did not. What she understood was that Butler’s demise was a likely precursor to her own. She also recognized what had undone Butler and her own participation in it. Butler had been unwilling to seize the day, when there was still daylight. His inability to be harsh and blunt, to articulate to the city’s remaining employees that they and their predecessors had long been the beneficiaries of corrupt generosity and that their expectation and sense of entitlement to that generosity on the taxpayers’ part was going to have to end, contributed further to the expectation and culture of entitlement that continues to grip City Hall. Rather than serving as Butler’s backbone, truly being his hatchet-woman and informing Upland’s municipal employees that they had ridden the gravy train for too long and that with the city teetering on the financial abyss it was now time for them to give back rather than demand more and if not to hit the road, Vagnozzi instead offered them more. And after she offered them more, she participated with Butler in hiding that from the city council. Her head was on the chopping block.
But Vagnozzi is a brilliant political infighter, with the guts of a cat burglar. She did not panic. Calmly, she evaluated the situation.
At that moment she was safe because to fire her in one purge at the same time as, or sharply on the heels of, Butler’s firing would create an ugly scene and more questions than the city council was at that point prepared to answer. Moreover, she knew, the city would be averse to jettisoning all of its top level institutional memory at once. And the council, after having gone awry twice in the last eleven years by hiring an outsider as city manager as opposed to hiring from within – witness the cases of Quincey and Butler – was as likely as not to select a current city department head to replace Butler. She surveyed the competition: police chief Brian Johnson, public works director Rosemary Horning, community development director Jeff Zwack, community services director Roberta Knighten, fire chief Paul Segalla and finance director Scott Williams. Segalla had the least time in the city and for other reasons, including that he was at that point yet committed to overseeing operations in Montclair as part of a shared fire administration/management agreement with that city, was not a likely candidate. Knighten, Horning and Zwack had the longest tenures of the six with city. Horning and Zwack had sufficient experience in budgeting and administration, sufficient educational credentials and enough technical understanding of their own lines of expertise to make a stab at running the city. Johnson was less familiar with Upland, having come into town from the Los Angeles Police Department in 2014. His commitment to being a law enforcement professional made the prospect of his transferring into the top tier of city management a stretch. Williams, with his command of the field in which the city faces its most critical problems, made him an attractive candidate for the position. Moreover, he possessed the academic credentials – a bachelor of arts degree in business from Business Master’s University, an MBA in business administration from California State University at Monterey Bay and the completion of the first year of course work toward his doctorate in public administration with American Baptist University – and he has ambition of moving into the upper echelons of public agency management.
While she remained at City Hall, Vagnozzi was not without resources. Her position overseeing the city’s human resources division gave her access to a comprehensive degree of information pertaining to all city employees, that is, the city’s personnel files, including each individual employee’s application, resumé, health insurance applications, letters of recommendation, performance evaluations, as well as discipline jackets containing corrective action notices, notations of procedural violations and any negative performance or incident write-ups from superiors.
Within the next month, information lifted directly out of Williams’ personnel file was being bruited about City Hall and had reached the ears of the council, specifically that relating to his own personal finances. The damage was immediate and the implication clear: the person at the forefront of overseeing and managing the city’s finances had a round of difficulty with his own financial affairs. The impact was that Williams’ status within the Upland organization was lowered and any prospect that he would be considered for the city manager’s post ended.
Out of the blue, Segalla was placed on administrative leave in August. Officially, in Upland, the response to questions of what Segalla had done to merit being relieved of command was that some unspecified complaint had come in from Montclair about his action or performance. Since 2014, Upland and Montclair had merged their administrative/managerial functions, while maintaining their own respective fire stations and both cities considered the possibility of merging the totality of their fire operations in the future. Thus, Segalla was serving as the fire chief for both Upland and Montclair. When reached by the Sentinel, however, Montclair City Manager Ed Starr said the issues relating to Segalla’s suspension emanated from Upland.
In September, Community Services Director Roberta Knighten, who began with Upland in April 1999 as management analyst in the public works department and was reassigned to the city’s recreation division in November 2002 and then moved up the ladder to become community services director in 2011, overseeing the animal shelter, library and recreation division at a base annual salary of $160,838 annual salary plus $76,029 in benefits for a total compensation package of $236,867, was thanked for her 17 years of service to the city, provided with a plaque and certificate of recognition, honored with a dinner and shown the door. Calling it a cost cutting move, Thouvenell said the position of community services director had been eliminated, since the city’s library and animal services divisions had already been outsourced.
With minimal fanfare and without first informing Montclair that it was doing so, Upland at its last city council meeting in September unilaterally terminated its joint powers arrangement for shared management and administration of their fire departments, citing the underperformance of the program in saving the city money.
On October 17, just days before his probationary period which had been atypically increased from 12 months to 18 months was set to expire, Williams interacted with Thouvenell. During their exchange, Thouvenell engaged with Williams with regard to the city’s financial concerns, seemingly as if all was well. Some two hours later, Williams was summoned by Vagnozzi into the office of the human services manager and ignominiously handed a pink slip.
Last Wednesday, just prior to Thanksgiving, the city in publishing its agenda for the Monday November 28 city council meeting announced that it would be taking the first step toward outsourcing the city’s fire department. Coming as it did, just prior to the Thanksgiving Holiday, much of the community missed the announcement. Others were caught flatfooted. At the meeting, Kathleen Rollings-McDonald, the executive director of the San Bernardino County Local Agency Formation Commission, and San Bernardino County Fire Chief Mark Hartwig were on hand to familiarize the council with the process of transitioning to county service and how the county fire department intended to carry out the assignment once the transition was effectuated. The arrangement with the county would not involve a contract, Vagnozzi said, but entail the entire city annexing into a county fire agency district, such that all property owners would be assessed $148 per year to help defray the cost of fire and emergency medical service provision. Ultimately, the council voted to initiate that annexation process.
Earlier in the evening, during her presentation of the city’s proposed financial stability plan, which was also approved by the city council upon Thouvenell’s and Vagnozzi’s recommendation, Vagnozzi said that staff had examined the options of outsourcing both the fire service and police service. While the outsourcing of the fire service would deliver the city savings, Vagnozzi said, there would be no savings from dissolving the police department and contracting with the sheriff’s office.
“This would actually be more expensive than what we are currently paying,” Vagnozzi said.
Absent from the meeting were Segalla, who might have provided the city council with a description of how the city’s current firefighting operations match up against the service to be provided by the county, and Williams, whose extensive research and numbers crunching with regard to the city adopting the sheriff’s department as its law enforcement service provider indicated the city would achieve substantial monetary savings approaching $5 million a year by such a move.
This week, Williams told the Sentinel that Vagnozzi’s report with regard to outsourcing concluding that the delivery of law enforcement services by the sheriff’s department would cost the city more money versus continuing to rely on the city police department was “intellectually dishonest. Jeannette provided the council with selective information to reach a preconceived conclusion. Given a true side by side comparison of the costs of law enforcement activity in Upland it is clear using the sheriff’s department would result in substantial savings, even with the debt service of Upland’s current unfunded liability.”
Moreover, Williams said, “The future increases in the cost of keeping the police department in-house will rise much more sharply than the five percent annual increase that would come with the sheriff’s contract.”
Williams said that it was his perception that a “bureaucratic symbiosis” has developed between Thouvenell and Vagnozzi over the last two months that has resulted in Vagnozzi having overcome the very real threat of termination she faced at the time of Butler’s firing.
Butler, who has recently been hired by the City of Port Hueneme to serve as city manager there, could not be reached at his Rancho Cucamonga home. Nor did he answer or return phone calls placed to his phone there or his other known phone numbers.
Early this week, Vagnozzi told the Sentinel that the suggestion that she or her action played a role in Butler’s forced exodus from Upland was absolutely incorrect. “I was begging them to not fire him,” she said.
After Vagnozzi was provided with an early draft of this article so that she could provide cogent response to its content and offer input for inclusion in the finalized version, she said, “So much in here borders on slander and libel, I would not want to participate in it. I cannot comment.”
Thouvenell, who was provided with the same early draft, was similarly scathing in his assessment of the way events had been recounted in the narrative. “What you have written is skewed and inaccurate,” he said. “You are just printing what other people are telling you. What you are doing isn’t right, so I don’t want to participate. I have no comment.”
Ray Musser, the current mayor who was on the council from 1998 until 2011, was the only political opposition to Pomierski among Upland’s elected officials during Pomierski’s time in office and succeeded him as mayor, chose not to seek reelection this year and will leave office this month.
He said of Vagnozzi, “She tried to please her boss. She did that under Rod Butler and now she is doing that with Marty [Thouvenell.]”
Musser said, “Scott [Williams] was a threat to Jeannette. That is pretty clear. But that chapter is over.”
Musser said he is leaving office, but that he believes the city is in the process of altering the lines of authority to prevent the contretemps that occurred involving Butler, Vagnozzi and Williams. “Once they get an actual permanent city manager, the finance director should report directly to that city manager and not through Jeannette or whoever is the deputy city manager,” Musser said. “At least, that’s how I hope they will set it up.”
