COTO DE CAZA BOARD 2006 ELECTIONS - A VOTING GUIDE May
12, 2006 In
general we are in agreement with Joe Morabito’s
assessment of the 2006 candidates to the CZ Master Association Board of
Directors (below) . Our
recommendations differ slightly for a number of reasons, some of the listed
below: For
an attorney, Zipperman has indicated a willingness to jump to conclusions, even
when facts can be obtained easily – particularly troubling when it comes to
public safety. Consequently he has
been willing to give the board the benefit of the doubt, to the point of voicing
that the hiring of the General
Manager was a “good decision”. As
someone has said, having two attorneys serving the board (a board of directors
and legal counsel) at the same time
will simply expose the association to unprecedented liability. On
the other hand, the community does not need a rocket scientist to solve the
public safety problems – all it takes is to acknowledge the community has a
problem, then use common sense. Therefore,
our recommendations to district delegates are: Whatever
you do, use your cumulative
votes to vote only for one candidate. If
you like two or three candidates and want to split the votes, you can be sure
that all your votes will be diluted and will not count.
Hello All:
After attending the CZ Board Candidate's Night, I can make the following
observations:
1. Xochitl Yocham -
Bright woman. Worked in business before
becoming a Mom. Concerned about Security/Safety as her first priority.
Appears to be the type that will roll up her sleeves to get the job done.
Recognizes that the dues we pay must be prudently managed. Has chutzpa.
Has the time to do the job. Will work to fix the problems we have in
Coto.
2. Steve Zipperman
- Smart Guy. Real Estate Lawyer. A
little off on some issues; but my guess is that once he understands the facts,
he will do the right thing most of the time. Does not appear to be a go
along to get along kind of guy which probably is good given the characters on
the current CZ Board.
3. Incumbent George
Thagard - Nice Guy. Like him
personally. But, the man in the empty golf shirt. After serving on
the CZ Board for four years, surprisingly, See Nothing, Do Nothing George
could not speak authoritatively concerning the workings of the Association.
He appears to be a surface kind a guy. In other words, he just did not
know very much about anything. If George is re-elected, we will see more
fiascos. Mr. Thagard is part of the problem not the solution.
4. Betty Olson -
Well meaning woman. Clueless in Coto.
Needs to do her homework and then run for the CZ Board. Betty, is
serving on the Water Board for two and half more years which given the time
requirement to do a good job on the CZ Board will be problem. Needs to
do one or other because with work at UCI, two Boards are just too much.
I am not a Delegate so I can't
vote; however, after listening carefully to all the candidates and asking
several questions, as a former CZ Board Member and concerned citizen, I have
placed these four candidates for the two Board seats available in the order of
excellence. If you are a Delegate, I hope this helps. If you know
your Delegate, please feel free to pass on this e-mail. Joe
Morabito
P.S. I don't agree with any
Candidate on all issues; but that's ok.

Great report. Too bad it is not coming from the high priced Security Consultant or Universal both retained by the current incompetent CZ Board instead of a concerned citizen. At least then we might be getting something for our money. Joe Morabito -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hi Joe: Thanks for the encouraging words. It should be obvious that we have spent a lot of time and
money developing these public safety management tools. The public safety committee in Ladera Ranch agree with us,
but as you know, Jerry Mezger has called our work “garbage analysis”, and
the official Coto de Caza crime and vandalism metrics, as provided by the
security consultant and voiced by Jerry Mezger are: “According
to the Sheriff’s numbers for 2004 and 2005, our law enforcement calls by the
Sheriff’s department run about ¼ the rate of other Given
that our work has been labeled “garbage
analysis” by Mezger, we are looking forward to receiving a “quality
analysis” performed by the newly composed Coto de Caza Public Safety
Committee, which includes highly paid consultants and hand-me-downs
non-residents.—Is anyone here privy to this quality work? - Buzz ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Buzz:
I wouldn't pay much attention to what Jerry Mezger has to say. More
often than not he has been very short on the facts. Joe Morabito
