Calaveras County Staff can lie and get away with it!

   Calaveras County Counsel Janis Elliot stated at the Crazy Horse Appeal Hearing on September 12, 2013, that you cannot
trust anything that any Calaveras County employee (staff) tells you verbally. Their verbal statements are "not binding".

   They cannot be held accountable; they can lie and unless you have it in writing or on tape, you cannot trust anything they say verbally.

     Now it is out there. Beware of County employees. They can lie to you and get away with it!! This according to County Counsel.

What about the adopted County Codes (ordinances), but unenforceable by the officials of Moratoriumville (Calaveras)?
Could it be that the county elected BOS are waiting on Tryonville to come to life?
Why, after the lawsuit 30 plus years ago (1982), Pool Station Road's classification remains "D"?
Why, since FEMA"s 1988 study with a 1990 Calaveras Report and FEMA's return in 2009, nothing has been done correctly to put the flooding issue before the citizens for final review?
Why does it appear, after an election or er-election the BOS does not look back to cure past problems, but only forward to current issues that stare them in the face?
Why do members of the BOS have to run to department heads to "hammer on all of them" (Edson) to make changes to those issues created and approved by the BOS? Are the members of the BOS unable to read the english language, which county codes are printed in?
Should the name Calaveras be officially changed to Moratoriumville?
Are you ready to vote for a county sales tax increase?
Are you ready for private and public water restrictions?
Where has all the money gone?

Interesting reading, too bad the BOS does not read.
12.02.010 Title; This chapter shall be known and cited as the "road ordinance."
12.02.040 Definitions:
"Acceptable level of service" has the meaning established by resolution ob the board of superviosrs in conformance with the Calaveras County general plan.
Stay with me.
In the recent past Moke Hill wanted it's own road standards (narrow) to maintain it heritage.
Look at the definition of "Community", "Community road" and "Community road standards".
Look at the definition of "Public road", "Public road standards", "Regional road" and "Residential road"
Have you driven up or down Pool station Road? Have you driven up Mountain Ranch Rd, Railroad Flat Road to Railroad Flat?
What is the differences between those roads? They are all substandard county roads, but the classifications are different due to the definition of the road.
Pool Station Road is a regional road with commercial use and public use. yet, commercial use is restricted by the CHP. On the public use side Pool Station in no different in standards than Mountain Ranch Rd and Railroad Flat Road. All are public roads used for public travel and commercial use according to restrictions. Pool Station Road does not receive funding for overlay paving from the county, the other two roads do.
Should the county express how many small properties with access off Pool Stations Road in comparison with those large land holdings used for grazing? Should trip comparisons be made for agriculture use and potential single family housing use of Pool Station Road?
Who is at fault, the landowners or Calaveras County?
How about an open study session with reasonable speaker time limits? If the BOS doesn't want to hear what the owners, protestants and public have to say, replace the BOS. Welcome to Calaveras! Or a name change to Moratoriumville.
Do something the BOS doesn't do, read the Road Ordinance.
