As a rate payer, property owner, tax payer and very concerned Cambria citizen, I am asking you to answer my questions to alleviate my concerns and bring about clarity to the nebulous process by which the officials of the CCSD have proceeded AND at the same time I am asking you to do your duty and provide any other pertaining information you have in your possession which have not been distributed to me and the general public.
1. Why did the CCSD not publicly identify the parcel numbers subject to water and sewer rate increases as required by Proposition 218?
2. Why has the CCSD not disclosed the total number of protests received?
3. Why has the CCSD not disclosed the number of protests disqualified? How many protests have not been accepted?
4. Why has the CCSD not disclosed the reasons for rejecting protests? It is my understanding that copies of the rejected protests were to be disclosed by Friday, August 15 but as of today have not.
5. Why has the CCSD never defined the process for counting the protests?
6. Why has the CCSD attempted to verify signatures without an adequate signature database? The Cambrian reported that 50 protests were disqualified due to signature invalidation, but no numbers have been confirmed by the CCSD.
7. Why do the citizens of Cambria have to rely on information from a newspaper, rather than our Community Administration for accurate numbers of invalidated signatures?
8. Why am I and the Citizens of Cambria are “kept in the dark” about the process for such a long time?
Comment:
Election results are known almost instantaneously and this is not an election, not even a vote, it is a protest and despite repeated, numerous inquiries I still am in the dark as to what the applied criteria was for validating and/or invalidating the protest letters.
Sincerely,
Jutta Jacobs
