- CRHV filed 2nd Amended Brief and Complaint in March 2023
- Three pre-trial conferences held between attorneys and judge
- CHRV fully complied with timely documents and interrogatories requested
- CSD has continually delayed, delivering scattered, unorganized, documents (many irrelevant
and duplicated) the day and evening before conferences - These tactics by CSD Attorney are very costly to the CSD and ultimately taxpayers!
- 4th pre-trial conference scheduled this month (January)
- We can expect further delay with last minute documents and Loewen resignation
- El Dorado County remains firm – CSD’s must comply to codes and permits
- Heritage Park has become a nuisance for many Heritage Residents
- HOA sent December letter to Planning Director identifying the parking nuisance and
requesting EDC action to mitigate the issue, no response yet
CHANGES NEEDED AT CSD
- Resignation of K. Loewen symptomatic of lack of Board oversight
- Repeated merit raises despite numerous issues raised by public
- Failed to take immediate action when first advised of DTA issue
- Initiated internal investigation only after DA/FPPC complaints
- Internal investigation still not complete nor public (a/o December BoD Meeting)
- Issues with LLADs, CFDs, and Parks are inexcusable
- Management of LLADS subject of two recent EDC Grand Jury investigations
- Lack of compliance with County ordinances
- Omissions in required legal processes in creating LLADs and CFDs
- CSD Directors Noele Mattock, and Ben Paulson face 2024 Election
- Potential opposition candidates, no public announcements
