Be cautiousof opening attachments and clicking on links. Dear Mayor Kou and City Council Members, As a resident of GreenAcres 1, I am disturbed to hear that Terman Park, our neighborhood park, is once again being considered as an item the City can use to exchange for schooldistrict property at Cubberley......and all this is being done essentially behind closed doors, behind our backs......without even bringing the adjacent neighborhoods into the discussion.This doesn't sit at all well with residents of our GreenAcres 1 neighborhood. Terman Park, as a City park, is important to us from many aspects. We have a right to have a voice.Before there are any further talks, kindly extend an invitation to our neighborhood and to other concerned neighborhoods nearby to join in the discussion. We have a right to beincluded. Terman Park was established by voter approval. It can't just be taken away.

Trust your review going well: optimistic ineluctable conclusion can only be to foster mental and social health of Stanford affiliates, especially post docs and PhD students is to restore full clubhouse including restoration of billiardroom, Sunday brunch (where we made our friends” PhD student” ) as well as previous and expanded hours to meet post doc and student needs, especially. In the meantime SR plows ahead with its well intended but culturally insensitive regimeof activities, like the above.

Be cautiousof opening attachments and clicking on links. JUNE 5, 2023 CITY COUNCIL MEETING, AGENDA ITEM #14SUSTAINABILITY AND CLIMATE ACTION PLAN EIR ADDENDUM I don't see any evidence that the Planning and TransportationCommission has reviewed the proposed EIR Addendum and made arecommendation to the Council. I thought that the Commission'srole included making recommendations to the Council on EIRs. Sea Level Rise seems to be addressed in the Addendum only withlevees, but does not discuss the alternatives of (1) notbuilding new projects in the affected areas and (2) removinguses to areas not affected by sea level rise. I don't see any distinction in the Addendum between sea levelrise and rising water table. The Sea Level Rise AdaptationStudy also seems to be focused on intrusion from rising sealevels, but silent about intrusion from rising ground water. Herb Borock From:herb To:Council, City; Clerk, City Subject:June 5, 2023 Council Meeting, Item #1: 1237 San Antonio Road Date:Sunday, June 4, 2023 5:33:04 PM CAUTION: This email originated from outside of the organization. Be cautiousof opening attachments and clicking on links. JUNE 5, 2023 CITY COUNCIL MEETING, AGENDA ITEM #11237 SAN ANTONIO ROAD I urge you to remove this item from your agenda, because thesubject proposal and site is a segment and alternative locationof the Purified Water Project proposed by the Santa ClaraValley Water District (Valley Water) for which Valley Water hasinitiated the process for preparing an Environmental ImpactReport (EIR) by filing and posting a Notice of Preparation(NOP) of an EIR. Comments on the project or any of its segments need to be madein accordance with regulations of the California EnviromentalQuality Act (CEQA). The City of Palo Alto cannot violate CEQA Regulations by simplyamending its zoning ordinance (Title 18 of the Palo AltoMunicipal Code) to say that its procedures are in addition tothe CEQA Regulations and that if Palo Alto's proceduresconflict with CEQA Regulations, that Palo Alto proceduresprevail. CEQA Regulations for the EIR process provide four opportunitiesfor the City Council to comment about a proposed project. First, during the 30-day period following the posting of theNOP, which Council could have done if staff had placed thesubject on Council's agenda during that time period, but staffdid not place the item on Council's agenda. Second, following the publication of the Draft EIR for theproject, but that document has not been completed, and the onlycomments about the EIR from Valley Water are about when itexpects to issue the Final EIR, but Valley Water has beensilent about its schedule for issuing the Draft EIR. Third, when the Final EIR is published. Fourth, if and when project approval and EIR certification havetaken place and 1237 San Antonio Road or some other site inPalo Alto is selected as part of the approved CEQA project. The NOP for Valley Water's Purified Water Project identifiedthe preferred Project for a new advanced water purificationfacility (AWPF) as a site in San Jose adjacent to the existingSilicon Valley Advanced Water Purification Center, andidentified the former Los Altos Treatment Plant site at 1237San Antonio Road as an alternative site to be evaluated in theEIR. Despite the fact that the NOP identifies 1237 San Antonio Roadas an alternative to the preferred site, actions by Valley Water and the City of Palo Alto after the circulation of theNOP and before the circulation of the Draft EIR assume that1237 San Antonio Road has already been chosen as the projectsite as the following chronology indicates: December 1, 2021: Valley Water's Recycled Water Committeerecommended that Valley Water approve 1237 San Antonio as thelocation. December 14, 2021: Valley Water's Board of Directors approvedthe Committee's recommendation and directed its staff tofinalize agreements with Palo Alto to locate the Advanced WaterTreatment Facility at 1237 San Antonio Road February 28, 2022: Palo Alto City Council study session on theproject that includes 1237 San Antonio Road as the site andincludes a timeline in the staff report for that meeting thatincludes the initiation of a Comprehensive Plan amendment andparcel subdivision prior to the issuing of the Final EIR, butdoes not include the Draft EIR in the timeline. April 10, 2023: Palo Alto City Council approves fundingagreement with Valley Water for the 1237 San Antonio Road site. All of the above, including the item on this Council meeting'sagenda provide substantial evidence that Valley Water haschosen 1237 San Antonio Road as the site before the Draft EIRhas been circulated and that Palo Alto has agreed to that sitebefore Valley Water has certified the Final EIR and approved aproject that locates a segment of the project at 1237 SanAntonio Road. The pattern of actions described above constitutes aprejudicial abuse of discretion and a violation of CEQA. Therefore, I urge to remove this item from you agenda. Thank you for your consideration of these comments.

Whatother big home insurance Cos. might pull out of California? A bunch of them have pulled out of Florida due to hurricanes. Or gone BK. Newsom has hired some more fire fighters with some more trucks. I have long urged thedeployment of 50 747 tankers like the Global Supertanker we had in California a few years ago. It can carry 19,000 of water/retardant. That one was from Colorado and they went BK. Sonow we are down to one DC-10 and smaller aircraft. Fifty 747s might cost $100 million each to buy and convert. So $5 bllion. I suggest that a consortium of California, Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, NMand maybe Australia be formed to buy and operate these. All of those get big wild fires now but usually not at the same time. Diane Feinstein got 6 or 7 old planes from the Coast Guard for California fire fighting.Each can carry 6,000 gal. of water/retardant per flight. We need 50 747s at 19,000 gal each. Gov. Newsom just never has much to say about the endless, horrific wild fires in California that destroy hundreds of homes every year. Now that State Farm has stopped issuing newpolicies on homes in California as a result, maybe he will consider upping the game wrt how we fight wild fires. Those around him should tell him that he looks, and is, totally out of touchon this issue. What is so repellant about a multi-state consortium in the West to buy the 50 747s that could put a big dent in the destruction caused by these annual wild fires? States can'tco-operate like that? That is part of their job. Maybe we need the feds to force such co- operation. Where is Congress and Biden on this? All of this is not to even mention the health impact of 40 million Californians breathingwild fire smoke for months every year. Dr. Jon LaPook on CBS said once that this smoke contains 5,000 compounds as it burns through communities. You have to know that thatincludes a few carcinogens. My favorite outcome is fibrosis of the lungs. They become stiff like leather and the victim can't get air. State Farm Stops Offering Insurance in California - The New York Times (nytimes.com) The insurance industry also complains about California's Prop 103 which limits autoinsurance rate hikes. I remember the day that passed in 1988, the same day the 747 was bombed out of the sky over Lockerbie, Scotland. Now throw on enormous claims every yeardue to wildfires, and State Farm has walked on writing new home insurance policies here L. William Harding Fresno, Ca.

This spring I took the tour of the Valley Water water purification system and was very impressed with the level of purification of the water they receive. I drank some of the purified water they got from the Orange County facility as Valley Water was still in the process of getting their water approved. I need we need to support all the options for water reuse and this is a good one that’s well-tested.

Dear City of Palo Alto, CA, I am reaching out to see if you have any decorative streetlighting needs. Decoratives can be tough to deal with because they are customized. But we can help! Our company has assisted municipalities with converting over 700,000 streetlights to LED, and ~65,000 of those fixtures were decoratives - using LED retrofit kits. LED decorative kits save tons of money and preserve existing looks, compared to purchasing new fixtures. We currently have kits available for installation - and we can help with all the planning and logistics. If you are interested, do you have time to discuss during the week of June 12th? Please let me know. Best, Hilary James Development and Operations Manager hilary@tankolighting.com 415.537.0263 (phone) www.tankolighting.com Bringing passion to light.

So you can imagine my shock when one day later at the Baylands, this “port-a-potty”greeted me when I was bird-watching. It is shameful that the wealthiest urban community has a disgusting, filthy toilet and doesn’taddress this as an imperative in its maintenance of our parks or public spaces.

Be cautious ofopening attachments and clicking on links. On 5/25 I returned from 3 weeks in Japan. Not once did I see one example of graffiti, only very occasionally was there any litter on theground. Not once, whether in an outhouse in the countryside, at a petrol station, at a 7/11 did Icome across a toilet that wasn’t essentially spotless, well stocked with toilet paper and usuallywith a toddler’s seat so that a child does not stand in the toilet room. So you can imagine my shock when one day later at the Baylands, this “port-a-potty” greeted mewhen I was bird-watching. It is shameful that the wealthiest urban community has a disgusting, filthy toilet and doesn’taddress this as an imperative in its maintenance of our parks or public spaces.

One of deputy public guardian's involved was Rhondi Opheim. Her siister, Robin Opheim wasassistant city auditor and worked directly with Lisa Herrick. The Public Defender's office waswell aware of this and so was the District Attorney's office and there is Case # with DA andfederal agencies were also involved. One of the investigators under Marti Oakley claims one ofthe attorneys is also a witness & believes that Lisa Herrick knew this & kept it secret. Theattorney also had responsibility to speak up but did not. ( or there is no record of this ) - Also, Former Judge Mary Anne Grilli is under investigation also as she appears to be tied tofraudulent construction company contract and "Home First" , a non profit organization. MaryAnn Grilli sent letter to Heidi Yauman in 2008 relating to these investigations. An individualarrested in London may be tied to Mary Anne Grilli and Lary Kubo and police in Englandtracked this individual knowing of relation to investigation in the United States. Lisa Herrick and Sunnyvale Police Chief are both believed to be involved in missing $6,000,000in Audit of Emergency Housing Consortium in 2006. Emergency Housing Consortium is samenon profit as Home First under different name. The property management was overseen by"Ky Le" , who later worked for office of supportive housing , controlling funds from USDepartment of Urban Development. In November of 2020, County Officials and Sunnyvale Police Department kicked us out of theVagabond Inn which was paid for by FEMA through project homekey. The same week that Ky Le became deputy county executive, there was a change of security companies & both used same system called "Silver Track" the records of the two comanies do not appear to beconsistant with one another. Chris Welsh, the attorney who was supposed to represent me is aware & he was hand pickedby Lisa Herrick & IDO & will not allow any evidence that they decide contradicts the false andfraudulent narative that they created. Gary Goodman has also been caught & so has MollyO'Neil as they have looked into the timing and circumstances of her placement as PDO & theMarkham Plaza Attacks are believed to be closely tied to George Shirakawa who was presidentof Board of Supervisors. Markham Plaza Apartment's was in his district & happened duringsame time period. I do not hold you responsible or anyone from your office. Trust me when I say I know how itfeals to be blamed for something not my fault & i have respect fdr this & I do not blame you oranyone from your office. Please understand that I am not trying to be defiant of OR & I believe with all my heart thatthese proceedings are illegal & I must follow my concience. It has been almost one year sincespeedy trial time have expired. Thank you for your understanding.

Eviction.pdfmakes clear that there were investions underway & clearly references the PubllicGuardian. Eviction.pdf also shows corespondences with city council member MadisonNguyen. Lisa Herrick had access to those emails. The false police report by detective david carroll was reviewed by Sheriff CaptainRicardo Urena, head of Count Security for all court locations in County. ?Urenaworked directly with Lisa Herrick, Presiding Judge and CEO. The Fake eviction was on 10/03/2012 and on 10/18/2012, Lisa Herrick was namedGeneral Counsel for the court. The false police report by detective david carroll misreprents the fraud by RobertRidgeway and his failure to produce video that he claimed existed. The video did notexist. Under the supervision of Lisa Herrick and Ricardo Urena, Carroll's false policereport fraudulently procured juridstiction claiming that Ridgeway's fraud was part ofhis duties as police officer & connected his wife: Aleksandra Ridgeway - making itappear as if Ken Ditkowski had decided there was some law enabling her to testify incourt to something she never witnessed. Detective Carroll omitted references to Public Guardian , Whistleblower complaintregarding County Counsel attorney Larry Kubo, etc. The court had no business assigning public defender in 2014 & Lisa Herrick new thatthis was conflict of interest. One of the reasons is because public defender GeorgeAbel was assigned to "represent" Heid Yauman in coresponding probate court matters. it is obvious that the Sheriff dept & Public Defender were in collusion with each otherbecause both agencies were aware of the investigations referenced in eviction.pdf, yetthey dodged out of involvement with these things & both insisted that it had nothingto do with Public Guardian. Lisa Herrick of course also knew & her double role as assistant city attorney andgeneral counsel for the court is of huge significance that was illegaly concealed & it isobvious that Lisa Herrick abused her office for personal gain and that court officialswere well aware of this. As you can also see, The civil grand jury investigation report refenced internet searches, yet failed to reference public guardian related banners that were highestranking in search engines. Attatched is document regarding Human Relationscommittee investigation into Grand Jury with testimony that prosecutor directed grandjury members to disregard testimony from certain individuals. The current "case" is a bogus domestic violance charge. I was helping Heidi who washaving medical issues not overdose on aspirin by making sure she did not overdose. islapped table in Starbucks to get her attention as she was having massive panic /anxiety attack. I did exactly what I needed to do. The MC-410 speaks volumes & the court & Lisa Herrick are responsible for inflictingthese injuries on Heidi. There is no way in hell they can claim to have no conflict. Additionaly, County Social Workers: Robert Rocco, Peggy Chou and others falsifiedpublic records in collusion with Sunjnyvale Police Department illegaly kiucking us outof Vagabond Inn Hotel which was paid for by Federal Funding out of Project RoomKey. As Heidi's advocate, I redressed these grievances as I was supposed to do & as myright and Heidi's under U.S. Constitution. Because I/ had redressed these grievances,Social Worker Peggy Chou filed document claiming that Heidi Yauman was bannedfrokm recieving services until December, 2025. Peggy Chou committed felony andmust be prosecuted. She misreprespresented my valid expression of first amendmantrights annd claimed it was "harassing emails" - She has failed to follow through withher requirement to produce evidence backing these claims. Just as Robert Ridgewaycould not back his claims.

I am checking in anyway out precaution simply because I do not want to bearrested because the records in regards to this case are mixed up in thatcorrespond with other court cases that were perjured by DA office ,. Court ,.Public Defender ,. etc. I appeared as a witness to case 112CV2296956 which involved a fraudulenteviction facilitated by the Santa Clara County Public Guardian. ( Seeeviction.pdf ) Perjury was committed by a County Counsel attorney namedLarry Kubo,. an employee of property management named Robert Ridgeway ,a non law enforcement officer. A person died as a result of the fraud and also, because,. as explained below, the County facilitated ,. Santa Clara Countieseligibility for HUD funding had been compromised. https://youtu.be/iDnq059_sb4 I took oath to tell the Truth, whole truth and nothing but the Truth , yet thepresiding Judge who at the time was Brian Walsh ,. along with General Counselfor the court: Lisa Herrick sent Sheriff Department out to Stalk, harass andthreaten witnesses to not speak about what had occured. ( See attached MC410 Yauman document ). This caused Heidi Yauman's condition to worsen & when I was arrested by PaloAlto Police on Donestic violence charge,. I was actually tending to her medicalcondition involving injuries caused by the court , sheriff dept , etc. In 2013 & 2014,. The Civil Grand Jury was investigating the Public Guardian &a fake court case ( C1493022 ) was created with a false narrative andfraudulently procured subject matter jurisdiction , etc http://www.scscourt.org/court_divisions/civil/cgj/2014/PublicGuardian.pdf To divert subject matter away from Public Guardian the presiding Judge andGeneral Counsel worked to make it appear as if Robert Ridgeway was a policeofficer when he committed fraud,. that he was acting in his official capacity aslaw enforcement officer and that he was in uniform. As you can see by theeviction document, that this was not the case. A deputy Public defender namedGeorge Abel was working corresponding probate court case , and therefore , itwas conflict of interest to assign Jeff Dunn public defender to represent me incase C1493022. Jeff Dunn ,. ADA James Leonard , and court railroaded me. Any doubt that there was no foul play or conflict of interest can be dismissedby simply comparing the false police report and eviction document. The falsepolice report was reviewed by Sheriff Captain Ricardo Urena ,. who at thetime,. was head of Court Security and reported directly to the Presiding Judge.The presiding Judge is responsible for overseeing all activities and case in thecourt and the problems with this are obvious. Additionally they had no reasonfor responding to situation in area jurisdiction of San Jose where Ridgeway wasresiding and the falsified Police report failed to show any court security relatedissues or anything regarding any "duties of law enforcement" , as adopted byfake narrative are dismissed as delirious nonsense and lies in order for "courtofficials" to evade responsibility and liability. The fact that the false report was overseen by Presiding Judge demonstratesthat it was the Court itself that levied the fake charges and invented the faketheme about "Law enforcement duties" and other lies and distortions. No judge within Santa Clara county can be expected to act without BIASfavoring Detective Carroll and the other who stalked and terrorized us andthreatened us to not speak about the crimes. My false arrest on case C1494032 occured on September 16th, 2014. It is nocoincidence that one week later,. Donald Moody was escorted from his office bysecurity. Donald Moody was Public Guardian and named as Co-Defendent incase 112cv236958. I appeared as witness. Not defendant. "AndrewCrittenden". is synthetic identity https://www.sanjoseinside.com/news/santa-clara-county-public-guardian-escorted-out-of-building/ Attorney Lisa Herrick , General Counsel Was very much involved in creatingthis mess as her involvement predates her stint with court and is rooted in herformer position as assistant City attorney.for San Jose who worked withassistant City auditor Robin Opheim to fraudulently skew audit into San JosePolice Secondary Unit. Seu was under supervision of Deputy police chief PhabNgo,. Phan Ngo is now chief of Sunnyvale Police Department & Ricardo Urena is nowCaptain of Sheriff dept. West Valley division , which holds jurisdiction over theunincorporated communities of Cupertino, Los Altos Hills and Saratoga I was railroaded also on fake felony charges and arrested on Christmas 2015.Deputy Public Defender Gary Goodman hijacked that case which led me to berailroaded and sent to prison on fake charges. Although I had exercised poorjudgement in an email sent out of pain from the horror we were put through,. It was ultimately Gary Goodman's fault because of his incompetent legalrepresentation in C1493022. Despite the fact that Ridgeway could never present the *video". that he liedabout & I was living in Palo Alto, not San Jose,. Goodman pulled a fake PC1368 which defrauded me of my right to speedy trial. I refused to change myposition and I stuck to the facts and would not adopt his false narrative.Goodman falsified record that fake video existed and fabricated mental healthconditions. Gary Goodman is a liar. He declared conflict of interest whenproceedings were finally renewed. Public defender should never had beeninvolved and they refused to address the issues that I brought fourth . Thefraud and conflicts are obvious and self evident to anyone who reviews thedocuments. There is no excuse to not see these problems and the most basicfundamental responsibilities like assigning an investigator were ignored. Document is attached showing that this is not the first time that Mental healthissues were fabricates Ito skew Civil Grand Jury investigation.I do not have mental health problem not did I at trial. Even if not for the fraud on & by the court and the conflicts of interest and theinjuries , etc. The DV case would still have to be dismissed due to fact thattime limit for speedy trial has now been exceeded. If your records to not adequately reflect this fact,. please check with court &Chris Welsh should verify to you that the time Waiver was dropped & case nowmust legally be dismissed. If Chris Welsh failed to notify the court and / or the court failed to register thisfact,. that is not my fault & blame can not justifiably be placed on myshoulders. For the record,. the appellate court record for these matters is also perjured byattorney Brian Curtis McComas. As this should be my final check in with you,.

The Oldest, Largest And Strongest Civil Rights Organization In The United States. 2023 Black Resistance Past, Present,& Future The Meaning of the Flag The Juneteenth flag was created in 1977 by activist Ben Haith, founder of the National Juneteenth Celebration Foundation, with the help of illustrator Lisa Jeanna Graf. The deliberate process of designing the flag, which is brimming with symbols of the day’s meaning, has made it an integral component of the holiday. Deliberately consisting of a red, white, and blue color scheme just like the American flag, the Juneteenth flag has a white star in the center, meant to represent both Texas (the Lone Star State), as well as the freedom of enslaved people in all 50 states. In that same vein, the white bursting outline surrounding the star is said to have been inspired by a nova, which is an astronomical event that marks the birth of a new star—in this instance symbolizing a new beginning for African Americans in the United States. The arc that extends across the width of the flag, at the intersection of the red and blue sections, is yet another symbol of a new beginning, or rather, a new horizon. The red, white, and blue color scheme that mimics that of the American flag was a conscious choice, meant to connote that enslaved people (who were not granted citizenships) and their descendants were and always have been Americans, as well as signifying the United States’ continued responsibility to do right by those affected by the continued injustices faced by Black Americans that are still yet to be fully dismantled.

Hundreds of thousands of Black children who lost a parent could be missing out on Social Security payments BY BO ERICKSON After Dr. Sarah Williams lost her husband Clarence to lung cancer in 2015, her grief was soon accompanied by financial worries about providing for their 9-year-old twins. Affording basics like school supplies and field trips strained Williams' part-time professor salary in North Carolina for more than a year. Eventually she discovered her twins were eligible for federal survivor payments from the Social Security Administration (SSA) for children who lose a parent. Both children soon started receiving payments of hundreds of dollars a month, helping to alleviate the financial burden that came with their father's death. READ MORE Join us in honor of Juneteenth!

As the United States becomes increasingly diverse, understanding how the current crisis impacts people of different racial and ethnic backgrounds is imperative. This article provides a brief overview of the climate challenges faced by communities of color and the steps taken to address the existing disparities. READ MORE IMMIGRATION ACTIVISTS PUSH THE BOUNDARIES OF RELIGIOUS FREEDOM BY LAURA E. ALEXANDER Many religious traditions preach the need to care for strangers. But what happens when caring for the stranger comes into conflict with government policy? After Title 42 restrictions at the U.S. border ended on May 11, debates about immigration have heated up again — focused mostly on reform, border security, or refugees’ needs. But the treatment of immigrants is deeply intertwined with religious freedom as well. As a scholar of religious ethics who studies immigration, I am interested in recent cases that highlight growing tensions between immigration policies and religious groups’ commitments to pastoral and humanitarian care.

Right-wing activists have mounted similar attacks at school board meetings throughout the country. This stunning barrage of legislation and policies aims to ban teaching critical race theory (CRT), and supposedly “divisive topics” in the curriculum. But the real target is the truth.

On the third episode, I interviewed a comedian who eventually became one of my frequent collaborators, partners and co-hosts. My friend, who kept his fingers on the pulse of white America, informed me that the show he had created would have to end or change its name. I didn’t understand. His show had aired for three years and was named after a phrase that was common in Black culture, so I asked what was suddenly so bad about his show’s name.

One of deputy public guardian's involved was Rhondi Opheim. Her siister, Robin Opheim was assistant city auditor and worked directly with Lisa Herrick. The Public Defender's office was well aware of this and so was the District Attorney's office and there is Case # with DA and federal agencies were also involved. One of the investigators under Marti Oakley claims one of the attorneys is also a witness & believes that Lisa Herrick knew this & kept it secret. The attorney also had responsibility to speak up but did not. ( or there is no record of this ) - Also, Former Judge Mary Anne Grilli is under investigation also as she appears to be tied to fraudulent construction company contract and "Home First" , a non profit organization. Mary Ann Grilli sent letter to Heidi Yauman in 2008 relating to these investigations. An individual arrested in London may be tied to Mary Anne Grilli and Lary Kubo and police in England tracked this individual knowing of relation to investigation in the United States. Lisa Herrick and Sunnyvale Police Chief are both believed to be involved in missing $6,000,000 in Audit of Emergency Housing Consortium in 2006. Emergency Housing Consortium is same non profit as Home First under different name. The property management was overseen by "Ky Le" , who later worked for office of supportive housing , controlling funds from US Department of Urban Development. In November of 2020, County Officials and Sunnyvale Police Department kicked us out of the Vagabond Inn which was paid for by FEMA through project homekey. The same week that Ky Le became deputy county executive, there was a change of security companies & both used same system called "Silver Track" the records of the two comanies do not appear to be consistant with one another. Chris Welsh, the attorney who was supposed to represent me is aware & he was hand picked by Lisa Herrick & IDO & will not allow any evidence that they decide contradicts the false and fraudulent narative that they created. Gary Goodman has also been caught & so has Molly O'Neil as they have looked into the timing and circumstances of her placement as PDO & the Markham Plaza Attacks are believed to be closely tied to George Shirakawa who was president of Board of Supervisors. Markham Plaza Apartment's was in his district & happened during same time period. I do not hold you responsible or anyone from your office. Trust me when I say I know how it feals to be blamed for something not my fault & i have respect fdr this & I do not blame you or anyone from your office. Please understand that I am not trying to be defiant of OR & I believe with all my heart that these proceedings are illegal & I must follow my concience. It has been almost one year since speedy trial time have expired. Thank you for your understanding.

Eviction.pdf makes clear that there were investions underway & clearly references the Publlic Guardian. Eviction.pdf also shows corespondences with city council member Madison Nguyen. Lisa Herrick had access to those emails. The false police report by detective david carroll was reviewed by Sheriff Captain Ricardo Urena, head of Count Security for all court locations in County. ?Urena worked directly with Lisa Herrick, Presiding Judge and CEO. The Fake eviction was on 10/03/2012 and on 10/18/2012, Lisa Herrick was named General Counsel for the court. The false police report by detective david carroll misreprents the fraud by Robert Ridgeway and his failure to produce video that he claimed existed. The video did not exist. Under the supervision of Lisa Herrick and Ricardo Urena, Carroll's false police report fraudulently procured juridstiction claiming that Ridgeway's fraud was part of his duties as police officer & connected his wife: Aleksandra Ridgeway - making it appear as if Ken Ditkowski had decided there was some law enabling her to testify in court to something she never witnessed. Detective Carroll omitted references to Public Guardian , Whistleblower complaint regarding County Counsel attorney Larry Kubo, etc. The court had no business assigning public defender in 2014 & Lisa Herrick new that this was conflict of interest. One of the reasons is because public defender George Abel was assigned to "represent" Heid Yauman in coresponding probate court matters. it is obvious that the Sheriff dept & Public Defender were in collusion with each other because both agencies were aware of the investigations referenced in eviction.pdf, yet they dodged out of involvement with these things & both insisted that it had nothing to do with Public Guardian. Lisa Herrick of course also knew & her double role as assistant city attorney and general counsel for the court is of huge significance that was illegaly concealed & it is obvious that Lisa Herrick abused her office for personal gain and that court officials were well aware of this. As you can also see, The civil grand jury investigation report refenced internet searches, yet failed to reference public guardian related banners that were highest ranking in search engines. Attatched is document regarding Human Relations committee investigation into Grand Jury with testimony that prosecutor directed grand jury members to disregard testimony from certain individuals. The current "case" is a bogus domestic violance charge. I was helping Heidi who was having medical issues not overdose on aspirin by making sure she did not overdose. i slapped table in Starbucks to get her attention as she was having massive panic / anxiety attack. I did exactly what I needed to do. The MC-410 speaks volumes & the court & Lisa Herrick are responsible for inflicting these injuries on Heidi. There is no way in hell they can claim to have no conflict. Additionaly, County Social Workers: Robert Rocco, Peggy Chou and others falsified public records in collusion with Sunjnyvale Police Department illegaly kiucking us out of Vagabond Inn Hotel which was paid for by Federal Funding out of Project Room Key. As Heidi's advocate, I redressed these grievances as I was supposed to do & as my right and Heidi's under U.S. Constitution. Because I/ had redressed these grievances, Social Worker Peggy Chou filed document claiming that Heidi Yauman was banned frokm recieving services until December, 2025. Peggy Chou committed felony and must be prosecuted. She misreprespresented my valid expression of first amendmant rights annd claimed it was "harassing emails" - She has failed to follow through with her requirement to produce evidence backing these claims. Just as Robert Ridgeway could not back his claims.

I am checking in anyway out precaution simply because I do not want to be arrested because the records in regards to this case are mixed up in that correspond with other court cases that were perjured by DA office ,. Court ,. Public Defender ,. etc. I appeared as a witness to case 112CV2296956 which involved a fraudulent eviction facilitated by the Santa Clara County Public Guardian. ( See eviction.pdf ) Perjury was committed by a County Counsel attorney named Larry Kubo,. an employee of property management named Robert Ridgeway , a non law enforcement officer. A person died as a result of the fraud and also, because,. as explained below, the County facilitated ,. Santa Clara Counties eligibility for HUD funding had been compromised. https://youtu.be/iDnq059_sb4 I took oath to tell the Truth, whole truth and nothing but the Truth , yet the presiding Judge who at the time was Brian Walsh ,. along with General Counsel for the court: Lisa Herrick sent Sheriff Department out to Stalk, harass and threaten witnesses to not speak about what had occured. ( See attached MC 410 Yauman document ). This caused Heidi Yauman's condition to worsen & when I was arrested by Palo Alto Police on Donestic violence charge,. I was actually tending to her medical condition involving injuries caused by the court , sheriff dept , etc. In 2013 & 2014,. The Civil Grand Jury was investigating the Public Guardian & a fake court case ( C1493022 ) was created with a false narrative and fraudulently procured subject matter jurisdiction , etc http://www.scscourt.org/court_divisions/civil/cgj/2014/PublicGuardian.pdf To divert subject matter away from Public Guardian the presiding Judge and General Counsel worked to make it appear as if Robert Ridgeway was a police officer when he committed fraud,. that he was acting in his official capacity as law enforcement officer and that he was in uniform. As you can see by the eviction document, that this was not the case. A deputy Public defender named George Abel was working corresponding probate court case , and therefore , it was conflict of interest to assign Jeff Dunn public defender to represent me in case C1493022. Jeff Dunn ,. ADA James Leonard , and court railroaded me. Any doubt that there was no foul play or conflict of interest can be dismissed by simply comparing the false police report and eviction document. The false police report was reviewed by Sheriff Captain Ricardo Urena ,. who at the time,. was head of Court Security and reported directly to the Presiding Judge. The presiding Judge is responsible for overseeing all activities and case in the court and the problems with this are obvious. Additionally they had no reason for responding to situation in area jurisdiction of San Jose where Ridgeway was residing and the falsified Police report failed to show any court security related issues or anything regarding any "duties of law enforcement" , as adopted by fake narrative are dismissed as delirious nonsense and lies in order for "court officials" to evade responsibility and liability. The fact that the false report was overseen by Presiding Judge demonstrates that it was the Court itself that levied the fake charges and invented the fake theme about "Law enforcement duties" and other lies and distortions. No judge within Santa Clara county can be expected to act without BIAS favoring Detective Carroll and the other who stalked and terrorized us and threatened us to not speak about the crimes. My false arrest on case C1494032 occured on September 16th, 2014. It is no coincidence that one week later,. Donald Moody was escorted from his office by security. Donald Moody was Public Guardian and named as Co-Defendent in case 112cv236958. I appeared as witness. Not defendant. "Andrew Crittenden". is synthetic identity https://www.sanjoseinside.com/news/santa-clara-county-public-guardian-escorted-out-of-building/ Attorney Lisa Herrick , General Counsel Was very much involved in creating this mess as her involvement predates her stint with court and is rooted in her former position as assistant City attorney.for San Jose who worked with assistant City auditor Robin Opheim to fraudulently skew audit into San Jose Police Secondary Unit. Seu was under supervision of Deputy police chief Phab Ngo,. Phan Ngo is now chief of Sunnyvale Police Department & Ricardo Urena is now Captain of Sheriff dept. West Valley division , which holds jurisdiction over the unincorporated communities of Cupertino, Los Altos Hills and Saratoga I was railroaded also on fake felony charges and arrested on Christmas 2015. Deputy Public Defender Gary Goodman hijacked that case which led me to be railroaded and sent to prison on fake charges. Although I had exercised poor judgement in an email sent out of pain from the horror we were put through,. It was ultimately Gary Goodman's fault because of his incompetent legal representation in C1493022. Despite the fact that Ridgeway could never present the *video". that he lied about & I was living in Palo Alto, not San Jose,. Goodman pulled a fake PC 1368 which defrauded me of my right to speedy trial. I refused to change my position and I stuck to the facts and would not adopt his false narrative. Goodman falsified record that fake video existed and fabricated mental health conditions. Gary Goodman is a liar. He declared conflict of interest when proceedings were finally renewed. Public defender should never had been involved and they refused to address the issues that I brought fourth . The fraud and conflicts are obvious and self evident to anyone who reviews the documents. There is no excuse to not see these problems and the most basic fundamental responsibilities like assigning an investigator were ignored. Document is attached showing that this is not the first time that Mental health issues were fabricates Ito skew Civil Grand Jury investigation.I do not have mental health problem not did I at trial. Even if not for the fraud on & by the court and the conflicts of interest and the injuries , etc. The DV case would still have to be dismissed due to fact that time limit for speedy trial has now been exceeded. If your records to not adequately reflect this fact,. please check with court & Chris Welsh should verify to you that the time Waiver was dropped & case now must legally be dismissed. If Chris Welsh failed to notify the court and / or the court failed to register this fact,. that is not my fault & blame can not justifiably be placed on my shoulders. For the record,. the appellate court record for these matters is also perjured by attorney Brian Curtis McComas. As this should be my final check in with you,. I wanted to ensure that a thorough explanation be furnished . Please feel free to respond if you would like & It would not surprise me if your records indicate something different. I am not trying to be defiant .

Dear Mayor Kou and Members of the Council: I want to thank you for keeping the animal shelter located in Palo Alto. You might recall the public outcry in 2012 when the city manager proposed closing the shelter doors. I am writing in support of Trap/Neuter/Return (TNR). 1. This is a proven method of cat population control, endorsed by the major humane organizations, and attested to by the success of the project on the Stanford campus. At Stanford, the cat population was controlled through spay/neuter and care, and a population of at least 1500 cats was reduced to a current handful. Stanford’s TNR program became an international model for the control of cat numbers. 2. Please know that feeding feral cats in city parks and in the Baylands was prohibited by Palo Alto in 1996: City Code 22.04.270 “Flora, fauna, feeding of wildlife.” Cat rescuers back then worked with Daren Anderson of the City Community Services to draft this regulation in a mutual effort to protect these wildlife and bird sensitive places. 3. In my years as Executive Director of the Palo Alto Humane Society, I witnessed the local Audubon people trying to scare city councils up and down the Peninsula with their anti-cat rhetoric. What they do not tell you is that Audubon actually partners with TNR groups (such as in New Jersey and in Portland, Oregon), as they have had to recognize that TNR is the only effective way to reduce the numbers of homeless cats. The only city council who has, in the past, seriously considered their arguments is Palo Alto. 4. Your residents do the work of cat control in Palo Alto. Most feral cats are “backyard cats” that residents catch and bring in for spaying and neutering. They pay for this out of pocket, saving public monies. They are doing vital unpaid animal control work. It costs more to hold and euthanize a cat (and on the public dime), than it does to perform a spay or neuter surgery. 5. If you ban TNR, your residents will not bring in cats when euthanasia is the likely outcome. This just increases the numbers of kittens born. Please support your residents! I attach a white paper on the control of feral cats which the California Humane Coalition drafted in order to counter statewide campaigns that would have set back cat control programs. We were successful in our efforts in Sacramento to defeat these proposed bills and to instead support the growing movement to control numbers through TNR. Thank you very much for the opportunity to weigh in on this subject. Sincerely, Carole Carole Hyde President (650) 504-5898 www.projecthumanekind.org California Humane Coalition (California Against AB 302) POSITION PAPER THE CONTROL OF HOMELESS CAT POPULATIONS TTVAR-M: A COST-EFFECTIVE, ENVIRONMENTALLY-SENSITIVE, AND HUMANE METHOD OF STABILIZING AND REDUCING POPULATIONS Until there is universal sterilization of household pet cats, homeless and feral cats will exist in our neighborhoods and public places, including urban, man-made, local and regional parks and recreation areas. Homeless and feral cat populations themselves are best controlled and ultimately reduced through sterilization and maintenance for the duration of their lifetimes. The TTVAR-M (trap, test, vaccinate, alter, release, and maintain) method is used increasingly throughout California and other enlightened States to address the homeless cat population issue. The TTVAR-M method has arisen in response to the inhumaneness, cost, and ineffectiveness of the eradication method of controlling cat numbers. The TTVAR-M method is a complement to state and local mandates for owner and animal shelter pet cat sterilization. The TTVAR-M also recognizes the important role that cats play in the ecosystem. Sterilizing and maintaining homeless cats is cost effective The costs of impoundment and euthanasia of a cat in a public animal control facility are considerable. In the County of Santa Clara, they are estimated at $74 per animal of taxpayers’ money -- $46 for impoundment, $28 for euthanasia (Coalition for Humane Legislation and Office of Council member James Beall). In the City of Berkeley, they are even higher (Berkeley Humane Commission). In contrast, the sterilization and maintenance of homeless cat colonies is uniformly accomplished by private individuals and organizations at no cost to local government. As the recession in the State of California continues to reduce available discretionary monies for cities and counties and to place greater economic burdens on local governments for the provision of human services, there is persuasive argument for the TTVAR-M method carried out at non-public expense. And, TTVAR-M does work to reduce the size of cat colonies. Sterilizing and maintaining homeless cats is humane California is always on the cutting edge of innovation, and the United States sets a standard of animal protection for the world. The humane treatment of animals (for example, the Endangered Species Act and the Humane Slaughter Act) has been sought by millions of Americans. The California humane community is in the fore of the animal protection movement. The eradication of cats through starving, poisoning, shooting, or impoundment and killing at animal control facilities is inhumane and particularly so in the face of the proven alternative of sterilizing and feeding them in groups. Because those who love cats can also love and wish to protect birds and environment, the maintaining of homeless cats and reducing their proclivity to hunt is humane. Mandates forbidding the care of homeless animals are politically tenuous. Mandatory eradication could be political suicide. Sterilizing and maintaining homeless cats is the most effective means of population control Until the total pet cat population is sterilized, the attempted eradication of homeless and feral cats will be doomed to failure, as the ecological vacuum created by their destruction is merely filled by irresponsible pet owners and therefore more stray cats. On the other hand, stabilized (sterilized) colonies maintained by a caretaker can be monitored for the appearance of unsterilized newcomers. In addition, sterilized and maintained cats are usually healthy and present less of a “public nuisance” issue than poisoning and other means of eradication. Sterilizing and maintaining homeless cats is environmentally sound Reducing the numbers of homeless cats through sterilization is the least harmful method environmentally. Poison and similar pest control methods wreak irreversible damage to the ecosystem and human populations. Cats, on the other hand, provide natural control of the rodent population and are self-regulating (see discussion below). The bird predation argument is scientifically unsound The hypothesis that cat predation of birds is responsible for the disappearance of species is refuted by the scientific literature (see, for example, National Geographic, “Silence of the Songbirds,” June, 1993, which lays the blame on a complex of factors relating to habitat and continental land management). Cats, rather, by evolution are rodent specialists; and feral cats usually become scavengers, most frequently on human garbage (see, inter alia, reports by Paul Leyhausen, ethologist, Great Britain; Robert Berg, San Francisco; Ellen Perry Berkeley, Maverick Cats). “A deliberate strategy of scavenging has enabled many feral cats almost to give up hunting altogether” (Peter Neville, Great Britain). Cats, in fact, have a significant place in ecological system. “Cats suppress populations of other more damaging predators such as rats and thus allow denser populations of birds than would exist without them” (Fitzgerald and Karl). Summary The overpopulation of domesticated companion animals should be addressed by sterilization, an approach more humane, more time effective, and more cost effective than impoundment and euthanasia. Legislation and local ordinances mandating the sterilization of cats should focus on household (indoor or outdoor-going) pet cats and should complement the sterilization and maintenance of homeless or feral cats. This is the future face of animal control in the State of California. From:Barbara E.

Share this: Aviation & Airport | Development Law News LATEST NEWS AND ANALYSIS - AIR AND SURFACE TRANSPORTATION, ENERGY AND THE ENVIRONMENT Supreme Court May Have Dealt Death Blow to Judicial Deference By Barbara Lichman on May 10, 2023 Less than two weeks ago, the United States Supreme Court took the first of several actions meant to close the door on what has become a standard in opposing citizens’ efforts to challenge the missteps of administrative agencies, i.e. Judicial Deference to agency decision-making. Specifically, Judicial Deference has guided the Courts into accepting an agency determination “based on a reasonable interpretation of an ambiguous statute Congress has tasked the Agency with implementing.” Chevron vs. NRDC, 467 U.S. 837 (1984). On May 1, 2023, the Court agreed to accept certiorari in the case of Loper Bright vs. Raimundo in which herring fisheries challenged a regulation issued by the Marine Fisheries unit of the Commerce Department, requiring private payment by boat owners of monitors mandated by the agency to be located on individual fishing boats to prevent over-fishing In accepting the case for review, the Court, for the first time, agreed to confront the concept of Judicial Deference head-on. Up until recently, courts have moved incrementally to weaken the concept of Judicial Deference. As long ago as 1944, the Court held that “The courts may resort to agency expertise for guidance. The weight of its judgment in a particular case will depend on the thoroughness . . . in its consideration, validity of its reasoning, consistency with other pronouncements, and all factors with power to persuade.” Skidmore vs. Swift, 323 U.S. 144 (1944). And as short a time ago as last year, in Virginia vs. EPA, 597 U.S. ___ (2022), the Court specifically sanctioned the application of the “Major Questions Doctrine” which narrows the concept of deference to those agency actions that “are guided by clear statutory authority.” The decision to accept certiorari in Loper Bright appears to demonstrate the Court’s desire to directly confront Judicial Deference, and accept the views of newer members of the Supreme Court bench such as Neil Gorsuch. Justice Gorsuch took the position, in his dissent in the case of Buffington vs. McDonough, 598 U.S. ___ (2022), that Judicial Deference threatens the separation of powers enshrined in the Constitution by placing the decision-making power regarding consistency with Federal law in the hands of the Executive Branch, and not in the Judicial Branch where it belongs. The real world implications of this shift in emphasis includes a complete re-thinking of the way Congressional rule-making and agency implementation interact. Specifically, under the current regime, Congress drafts legislation that contains general guidance, and devolves upon agencies the task of drafting the technical mechanisms for implementation. Under a regime less restricted by Judicial Deference, Congress would have to be more specific in its legislative mandates, presumably with the aid of the agencies it displaces. Whatever the ultimate outcome, for legal challenges to federal agency actions, the demise of Judicial Deference would be a welcome relief. Challengers to the actions of the Federal Aviation Administration (“FAA”), for example, have found the last bastion of relief in the federal court system largely foreclosed by the Courts’ persistent deference to the FAA’s “technical expertise.” That refusal to consider the agencies’ actions from a legal, rather than solely technical, perspective, may eventually disappear as a result of the Court’s decision in Loper Bright, and leave open the door to a fair weighting of community benefits and burdens against those of the agencies. The Court is supposed to hear the case in the Fall of 2023, so stay tuned for its decision in 2024. Barbara E.
