Fullerton’s Downtown Core Corridor: A Toxic sinking ship, the condemnation of our groundwater and the massive power grab by Joe Felz
Posted by Joe Imbriano in Fullerton politics, Fullerton's downtown core and corridor, The DCCSP, The twighlight's last gleaming, Who's who in Fullerton politics on September 26, 2015
Either Fullerton’s DCCP is doomed or all of us are. Look at these maps folks. They are proposing to build massive high rise construction RIGHT SMACK DAB ON TOP OF A POTENTIAL SUPERFUND SITE. These images tell the whole story.
Joe Felz tried to ram this massive power grab and development fast track through when no one was looking on a mid summer’s night. They held the Fullerton City Council meeting in the library room instead of The council chambers and tried to pass it at 11 o’clock on a Tuesday night with no live feed to the local cable access channels and no live feed to the city’s online coverage of the meeting.
So why would any sane rational elected representative bury this ticking toxic time bomb in our aquifer under 10 story high rises from here to kingdom come? Do we have any to speak of? I believe the current council majority comprised of Jan Flory, jennifer Fitzgerald and Doug Chaffee will do anything to generate revenues designed to float the sinking pension ship and to keep the public employee gravy train rolling down the tracks. That is why they were installed by the unions on the Council. Big development brings in big money for the city. Look folks the two year budget they keep passing will come to haunt all of us when the city finally will have to show all the unfunded pension liabilities on their books next year as a result of a new State law. You know what that means? Well for starters, it could spell the beginning of the end of the City of Fullerton’s solvency. So in the meantime, Jan Flory, Jennifer Fitzgerald, and Doug Chaffee will have to act fast and ram this through before the next election so they can account for the windfall ledger entries of future revenue that this treasonous disaster could bring to the city’s drained coffers.
You heard me. They will bury alive your aquifer that desperately needs remediation under a million tons of concrete and steel while they kill what is left of this town with a massive high density housing extravaganza, traffic busting and chocking up our already ruined roads, and a business killing zoning change party just so their friends at city hall can keep burning tri tip boozing it up in their backyards while you are all at work paying for their bacon and wine tasting trips to Europe.
With all the aforementioned aside, this is a massive illegal power grab, as pointed out by Mr. Barry Levinson right here: https://thefullertoninformer.com/who-is-behind-this-massive-grab-of-money-and-power-known-as-the-downtown-core-and-corridor-specific-plan-dccsp-city-manager-joe-felz/
All normal case by case project specific checks and balances, public input and commission review which have been a bulwark against out of control development will be done away with, and placed in the fast track lane all at the mercy of and in the hands of an unelected bureaucrat named Joe Felz -Fullerton’s city manager. Yes the end of piecemeal planning and the beginning of the Agenda 21 nightmare for Fullerton.
As a resident and a taxpayer, I am requesting that all of the planning commissioners that approved this be removed from their positions, and that this item tabled indefinitely or shredded until the EPA has cleared our aquifer. There is absolutely no reason to ram this through right now. This is a one stop shop, one E.I.R., council bypass that, in my opinion, is too huge to be handed off to unelected city staff through the hands of the five on the council. Going forward, there is no objective, honest way that you can conclude that green lighting such a massive project is in the best interests of the residents of this city, especially when hardly anyone knows about it. The insidious irony of projects of this magnitude and nature is that the scope of the public reporting requirements decreases inversely proportionate to the size of the development. Placing this on the ballot remedies that injustice to the residents.
This is leaps and bounds above and beyond the scope and magnitude of what is warranted at this time. It is an immense concession of checks and balances in the City’s long standing traditional approach to planning. Fast tracking makes sense in times of fiscal or other emergencies.The occupany rates of Fullerton housing is no where near 100 percent at this time.
This thing is a total Agenda 21 developer and variance orgy clothed in an affordable housing garb. Send the money back to the state and get Felz to disband the redevelopment has been dream team and you will have doubled your money in 12 months.
In addition, almost none of the claims that this thing makes are even remotely possible to accomplish. Mitigating traffic with a few more trash cans is an insult. I have not even mentioned that there are several legal challenges that will be brought forth if this item is moved forward as it is written.
Put the brakes on this thing and do the right thing. Let’s look at this through the eyes of your constituents by placing it in the shredder where it belongs. No one lives more than three days without water. Don’t build 10 story WiFi prison mausoleums on top of our aquifer just so a few hundred people that work for the city can maintain their standard of living at the expense of the other 150,000 who live in the real world. I will remind you that everyone is expendable, even city employees and even rocket fuel contaminated water seeks its own level as you will all find out with November 2016 being right around the corner.
The Coyote Hills Parcel Tax
Posted by Joe Imbriano in Coyote Hills, Highway Robbery, Who's who in Fullerton politics on September 22, 2015
You don’t actually think the City of Fullerton is going to buy you a park with all the money they have sucked out of all of you through decades of taxative extortion do you?
Just in time for the “H.E.R.O.” program to rear its ugly head on the agenda where the 4F mafia, Jan Fluoride, Jencurt Fitzpringle, and Doug Chaffeeppoo will be voting for thereby setting up the framework for a “Citywide special assessment district” to help bolster the endless, out of control public employee union pay raises and float the sinking pension ship under the guise of “smart” energy programs and red tape ribbon cutting.
Yes folks, introducing the latest and greatest idea since the FPD handed out the blue shirts and set up the taco truck on Tuesday night at city hall. Introducing the new “parcel tax” to pay off Chevron as they ride up the value on their sand dune wasteland called Coyote Hills. Yes it, to this day, remains an unremediated, unbuildable, unstable, seisimic nightmare riddled with hidden improperly capped oil and gas wells with toxic soil abounding flanked by fire ants, rats and rattlesnakes smack dab on top of a fault line without a drop of water anywhere to be found.
You already gave at the office you say? Haven’t had enough of OC vector control, OC Dept of sanitation, FSD, NOCCD, MWD, or FJUHSD’s catheter into your wallet through their property tax levy party? Get ready for another mainline insertion of another line item without a veto.
You guessed, you, the residents will be picking up the tab. Of course the city doesn’t have the money to buy the land. Hell they don’t even have the money to fix a stinking drinking fountain that has been broken for 2 and 1/2 years over at the ball field at Chapman park.
Yes the 4f council mafia hands out raises and benies and lawsuit settlements in the back room up behind the dais every 1st and 3rd Tuesday afternoon like lolipops on halloween to the unions and the rape victims while you, the taxpayer, are still stuck in traffic. They just don’t have enough left over for the more important things like what they actually exist to procure and maintain, that is crucial infrastructure.
No instead, they ignore the mosquito infested storm drain system, the 300 million in road, sewer and water main repairs while they try to ram through the job killing ten story tilt up nightmare called the DCCP and the WiFi prison called the College Town nuthouse over on Nutwood to boost revenues just enough to keep the unfunded pension liabilities from affecting Foolerton’s credit rating while you all stay mesmerized by a parade, and a fireworks show.
You want a walk in the park, well, haha, its gonna cost you gang. Chevron will get their money the old fashioned way and you will hand yours over the oldest way in the book: at levy point.
Yes Coyote Hills is beautiful and yes because it is not safe for any sort of development whatsoever in its present form, it should remain as open space. Remember, parks don’t make any money for the city unless they pack them full of cell towers. Development does and as long as we have a Flory, Fitzgerald and Chaffee council majority that exists to protect and serve the 700 city employees and not the 140,000 residents, we will have the devil in the details shoved up our backsides till the cows come home folks. More to come on this gang, so stay tuned.

For the first time in ORANGE COUNTY’S 100 PLUS YEAR HISTORY, VECTOR CONTROL plans to spray 53,000 acres of Orange County with a pesticide called “Duet dual action adulticide” and they are doing it WITHOUT mass mailing, WITHOUT your permission, WITHOUT your knowledge and WITHOUT your input.
FOLKS, NO ONE HAS DIED FROM WEST NILE IN THE OC IN 2015
WHY RUSH THIS THROUGH NOW SECRETLY WITH NO WARNING? WHAT IS GOING ON HERE?
THIS IS A HUGE PRECEDENT BEING SET HERE.
REMEMBER BACK IN 1989 WHEN THE MORONS AT THE STATE LEVEL SPRAYED TOXIC MALATHION ALL OVER THE PLACE AND THEY TOLD US THAT WAS SAFE? MALATHION IS NOW BANNED BECAUSE IT CAUSES CANCER. Read the rest of this entry »
Jennifer Fitzgerald- “I move the item”-ANOTHER CELL TOWER NEXT TO A SCHOOL

Folks for the second time in a row, Fullerton City Councilwoman Jennifer Fitzgerald, stepped right up and rammed another dangerous cell tower through the Fullerton city council-this one right next to Parks Junior High School that will penetrate the classrooms and expose all students to microwave RF emissions in addition the the staggering levels already present as a result of FSD’s Robert Pletka’s reckless use of wireless technology in all of its classrooms.
This woman just couldn’t wait to monetize another park and dose the poor kids and neighbors.
POLITICAL MACHINATIONS STARTING EARLY IN THE CITY OF FULLERTON-by Barry Levinson

POLITICAL MACHINATIONS STARTING EARLY IN THE CITY OF FULLERTON
It is more than 15 months until the November 2016 elections, yet it is clear that the political establishment is already making its move to make sure that those that play ball get on the political team.
No one who has run for city council in Fullerton has been and will continue to be more outspoken on all the issues that will impact the citizens of Fullerton than myself. I do not need to talk with political advisors or worry whether a particular position will do me more political good than harm. I could care less, because to much is at stake and it starts at the grass roots level in local towns and cities like my city of Fullerton. Read the rest of this entry »
Some Straight Talk About Our Current Situation and How it Relates to Our 4th of July Celebrations. by Barry Levinson
Posted by Joe Imbriano in Fullerton politics, The twighlight's last gleaming, Who's who in Fullerton politics on July 5, 2015
The City of Fullerton Celebrates the 4th of July in Grand Style.
Yesterday my family attended the City of Fullerton’s celebration of the 4th of July with games for the kids and food and music for all to enjoy. As always the fireworks show accompanied by music was a roaring success.
The Park and Recreation Department takes the lead in ensuring a great event and congratulations should be given to all those Park and Recreation employees who worked hard both prior to and at the celebration. Also I would like to thank Hugo Curiel, the Director of the Fullerton Parks and Recreation Department for a job well done. Read the rest of this entry »
Shame on Fullerton’s homegrown sellout Young Kim for the betrayal of millions of children voting Yes on SB 277
Young Kim claims that, after a lot of thoughtful consideration, she rises to support SB 277.
Ms. Kim, your consideration is not what matters. What matters are the rights of your constituents and your duty is to uphold the Constitution and to protect the welfare of everyone. SB 277 and vaccines do no such thing.

FULLERTON BUDGET VOTE Or why can’t we get a majority of our council to be concerned with our budget deficits?

FULLERTON BUDGET VOTE
Or why can’t we get a majority of our council to be concerned with our budget deficits? by Barry Levinson
On Tuesday, the 9th of June, the city council split their votes 2 for and 2 against the 2015-2016 and the 2016-2017 budgets that had projected million dollar plus deficits for at least the next two years. Fitzgerald and Flory voted for the budget and Whitaker and Sebourn voted against approving the budget as presented by the city. Council member Chaffee was absent, which created an even number of council members to be present and thus resulted in the budget vote going down to defeat. It will be revisited in the upcoming council meeting on Tuesday June 16th. Read the rest of this entry »

They are considering 3 options to reduce the water loss at Laguna Lake. However, the only action taken on Laguna Lake last night was to approve a consultant contract to determine the cause of and solutions for the water loss and bring back the results NLT the July 21 council meeting. I will keep residents informed when this item comes back to council. The rest of the plan was officially approved at the meeting. Read the rest of this entry »
FULLERTON CITY COUNCIL HAS TEMPORARILY POSTPONED DECISION ON SHUTTING DOWN LAGUNA LAKE UNTIL TUESDAY JUNE 2 COUNCIL MEETING AT 6:30 PM.
Posted by Joe Imbriano in Fullerton politics, The twighlight's last gleaming, Who's who in Fullerton politics on May 25, 2015
URGENT notice by Barry Levinson!
FULLERTON CITY COUNCIL HAS TEMPORARILY POSTPONED DECISION ON SHUTTING DOWN LAGUNA LAKE UNTIL TUESDAY JUNE 2 COUNCIL MEETING AT 6:30 PM.
PLEASE MAKE PLANS TO ATTEND THIS MEETING AND BRING AS MANY NEIGHBORS AND FRIENDS AS POSSIBLE.
WITHOUT A TERRIFIC TURNOUT, I BELIEVE THE CITY WILL SHUT DOWN LAGUNA LAKE AT THE SAME TIME HOPING TO BUILD DOZENS OF 7 – 8 STORY BUILDINGS THROUGHOUT FULLERTON BY PASSING THE DOWNTOWN CORE AND CORRIDOR SPECIFIC PROJECT IN THE NEAR FUTURE. THE MAIN BENEFIT OF THOSE HIGH DENSITY BUILDINGS WOULD BE TO INCREASE THE TAX BASE SO THAT THE CITY CAN CONTINUE TO KEEP FUNDING THEIR SALARIES AND EXORBITANT PENSIONS. IT CERTAINLY WOULD ALSO BE A FINANCIAL BOON FOR DEVELOPERS AND THEIR HIRED CONSULTANTS JUST LIKE THE ONE OUR OWN CITY COUNCIL MEMBER JENNIFER FITZGERALD REPRESENTS AS A VICE PRESIDENT.
QUESTION TO FULLERTON CITIZENS? DON’T YOU THINK THAT THIS MIGHT BE A CONFLICT OF INTERSET FOR MS. FITZGERALD?
QUESTION? IS IT FAIR TO ASK FULLERTON HOMEOWNERS TO REDUCE THEIR OUTDOOR WATER CONSUMPTION BY 50% AS STATED BY OUR WATER DEPARTMENT MANAGER WHILE THE CITY HOPES TO ADD THOUSANDS OF NEW HOUSING UNITS IN THE NEAR FUTURE WHICH WILL INCREASE THE DEMAND FOR OUR WATER?
DEMAND THEY KEEP LAGUNA LAKE OPEN AND DEMAND A MORATORIUM ON FUTURE NEW MAJOR DEVELOPMENTS. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! FOR ONCE MAKE OUR CITY GOVERNMENT ACCOUNTABLE TO THE PEOPLE. LET OUR COUNCIL AND CITY MANAGER JOE FELZ KNOW WHAT WE THINK OF THEIR HORRIBLE PLANS TO RUIN OUR CITY AND DEGRADE THE QUALITY OF LIFE FOR ITS CITIZENS GOING FORWARD!
SEE YOU AT FULLERTON CITY HALL COUNCIL MEETING ON
TUESDAY JUNE 2 AT 6:30 PM.
P.S. Earlier today I commented under Mayor Greg Sebourn’s Facebook page post about the recent lighting ceremony for the historic Fox Theatre. I stated that it was indeed a great day to celebrate our saving of the Fox Theatre and a new milestone in its eventual reopening. After all I am Charter Supporter of the Fox Theatre Remodel.
I then stated that I would hope that all of Mayor Sebourn’s supporters would also get behind the saving of an even older landmark in our city, namely Laguna Lake. I then asked them to come to the next council meeting to show support for keeping Laguna Lake open.
Not five minutes went by when my Facebook Friend relationship with Mayor Sebourn was apparently revoked. Did my free speech concerning Laguna Lake offend the Mayor? Does the Mayor not believe I have a right to express my opinion as it relates to another landmark in our city?
I REPORT, YOU DECIDE!

We applaud the recent Fullerton Observer article that brings to light the very recent appeal from 109 scientists worldwide calling on the United Nations, its member states and the World Health Organization to provide leadership in “this emerging public health crisis.” The “health crisis” is exposure to wireless radiation and the known and serious biological effects.

It is with great urgency that I write this article/post.
