Coto de Caza, 2Q2007 CHP Collision Summary
July 21, 2007
The newly elected CZ Master Association Board of directors’ president has vowed to improve the relationship between the board and CHP management, a minimum requirement in order to increase the CHP traffic patrol to at least 2006 levels. We think that the proper term is to mend the relationship destroyed during the Varo/Mezger years.
The 2Q2007 CHP collision report shows that despite the lowest
figures on record for pro-active traffic patrol in the
community since the Varo/Mezger administration fired
the CHP without a suitable alternative, the number of
traffic accidents continued to drop to 20 on an
annualized basis.
The figures for 2Q2007 include 2 injury traffic
collisions and 3 property damage-only. One of the
collisions is attributed to a DUI.
Thankfully the 2Q2007 CHP collision report buys the Zipperman/Yocham
board some time to mend the relationship with the CHP
in hopes that the collision rate will drop to the
pre-firing of the CHP levels.

The Enemy Within Coto Caza: The CHP - CZ BODs
CHP
DOES ITS JOB – CZ BOARD PLEASE DO YOURS! - Despite
the public abuse the CHP has received from the Coto de
Caza board of directors ever since the board was
coerced into bringing the CHP back for pro-active
traffic patrol, figures indicate that the CHP is doing
its job: Trend
for accident rate is down and close to pre-firing
levels. Just
as important, the number of Coto residents arrested
for DUI is down. See
chart below for actual accident rate.
