August 21, 2013: As you may know the county Supervisors are pushing for the "summary action" computer program in lieu of minutes of their board meetings, despite many complaints. Its on the August 27, 2013 agenda.
They say they will have the videos, but WHO guards them? Who guarded the last ones that were tampered with and called "technical difficulties"? Everyone knows!!
The public is not happy with this decision, since it makes it way too easy to allow phony changes to occur, as the videos are not made public immediately so that someone can copy them.
The "illicit" editing that was done on a video, and minutes from 2007 prove this is such bad news for Calaveras County as it will be even easier for them to cover up the corruption.
But here this week, we see it on the agenda again, as pushed by Supervisor Callaway's favorite Board Clerk, excusing it as a time-saver when what it really is can only be called an election-saver.
This is a bad idea at a bad time in Calaveras County's corruption laden politics and should not be allowed. We will keep track of which Supervisors vote for this.
Who at the Clerk's office reports to which Supervisor everything they are told or hear? JUST GUESS!!
Anything that goes on at the Clerk's office is reported to which Supervisor? Can you guess?
This is the surest way to cover up some of the corruption that goes on in Calaveras County. The public is WATCHING to see which Supervisors want this to happen. And believe us, there is way too much corruption already.
In our opinion, this is a form of corruption in itself, that Callaway wants big time!! Why? This is the main reason not to allow it to happen.

Actually this is totally legal. Based on Roberts Rules of order and the Brown act.....minute takers should minimize conversations and debates from meetings. You document the Motion, the vote and the resolution. The chatter in between as no value in terms of legal minutes. Don't like it? Check the Brown act and RRO. is what it is Take a look at other more sophisticated towns and cities minutes. you will see
And who stands guard over the "legal" document, which is the video. The whole county knows what happened to a 2007 video that was supposedly in the hands of the Clerk for safety. That's why people are worried. This is Calaveras County, where anything at all can happen with corrupt officials and does!!!
In case you haven't noticed, Calaveras County does not operate under Roberts Rules of Order.
As to the Brown Act: The people, in delegating authority, do not give their public servants the right to decide what is good for the people to know and what is not good for them to know. The people insist on remaining informed so that they may retain control over the instruments they have created GCS 54950.
