Beaumont’s ‘Pathway to Sustainability’ Included as ‘Interesting Read’
The LAFCO Board followed Staff’s recommendation and continued the Potrero Property Annexation until the November Board Meeting.
Council handed their trusted City Manager Richard Warne a blank check to purchase the land from the Developer.
When asked about the land being denied annexation by LAFCO, Warne replied; “it’s on the September 22nd LAFCO Board Agenda.”
And Warne wasn’t lying, it was on the Agenda for September, and it will be on the Agenda again in November, but that has nothing to do with paying off the Developer.
Neither the Developer nor any Representation from the City attended the Meeting. Only Judy Bingham attended and spoke to the Board.
She highlighted the events of the last month; Water Board’s Investigative Order after the City forged their Documents, stealing the $5 Million from the Sewer Fund that was needed to meet Title 22 Compliance to spend on Lawyers and Consultants, and of course the 2015 Financial Audit that has now been with the Auditing Firm for an entire year without completion because the City submitted Forged Financial Statements.
George Spillotis told the Board that although documents were requested from the City, nothing new was submitted and that some of the City’s documents were over a decade old.
Spillotis noted to the Board that the City’s ‘Pathway to Sustainability’ was included in the Boards’ packet ‘for their reading pleasure’ and called the document an ‘interesting read’.
On September 6, 2016 the Beaumont City Council unanimously approved Agenda Item 18 to purchase the property from the Developer: http://www.ci.beaumont.ca.us/DocumentCenter/View/28258
When this Annexation first went before LAFCO there were Board Members from Lake Elsinore that are promoting the Annexation and making excuses for Beaumont.
Those Board Members aren’t promoting and making excuses for Beaumont any more.
