action.

Court document indicate that CZ Master defense relied
almost exclusively on actions taken by previous
board of directors.
Whereas the stated actions related to the
administration in charge when the accident occurred,
may have been misleading, such as the implication that
the Sheriff could legally be engaged in pro-active
traffic enforcement in Coto de Caza during a period it
was expressly forbidden by County ordinance.
How
ironic that CZ defense centered around past Board
Actions; when Varo/Mezger ignored everything past
Board Members were saying to them for more than two
years in reference to the Sheriff and CHP in Coto.
Somehow, Mr. Zipperman was able to get one of the
other parties to pick up $50,000 of this judgment
because I am told that CZ
ultimately paid $50,000 rather than the $100,000
deductible indicated. Joseph Morabito
