Kurt Berchtold to Retire from Santa Ana Regional Board

April 3, 2017March 21, 2017

Another Rat Jumping the Sinking Ship of Beaumont’s Corruption Scam.

Today I was informed by the State Water Quality Control Board that Kurt Berchtold, the Executive Director of the Santa Ana Regional Water Quality Control Board is retiring.

Berchtold took over as Executive Director when Gerald Thiebault slithered out the door in 2010.

The State asked me if I knew anyone honest at the Regional Board Office.

I said: “Nope. If there was anyone honest they would have been chased away.”

A Clear Conflict of Interest
The City of Beaumont's contract with Urban Logic presents a significant conflict of interest and therefore must be terminated.
Favoritism and Cronyism
The City of Beaumont, under Urban Logic and City Manager Alan Kapanicas, has consistently demonstrated favoritism and cronyism in the awarding of pubic contracts.
Cost to Taxpayers
Urban Logic's contract with The City of Beaumont which allows it to profit from each approved development, along with their on-going practice of awarding high-dollar public contracts to a small group of friends and associates instead of to the lowest bidder, have cost Beaumont taxpayers millions.
Impact on Existing Businesses
The policies of Urban Logic and City Manager Alan Kapanicas ignore the needs of existing businesses in favor of new development and big box stores.
Quality of Life
Urban Logic and City Manager Alan Kapanicas have damaged our quality of life by failing to uphold high development standards, depleting local resources, making local government less accessible to residents, and by destroying the small town feel of the City of Beaumont.
Tactics
Urban Logic protects its ability to extract money from the City of Beaumont at all costs, resorting to intimidation and threats when necessary.
