REQUEST FOR THE CZ BOARD OF DIRECTORS TO STEP DOWN

Excerpts of letter sent to the CZ Board of Directors asking them to step down:

TO:  CZ Board of Directors

DATE:  12/09/2005

The CZ BOD That Cried Wolf:

Ever since the BOD fired the CHP, they have cried “We have a pro-active traffic enforcement plan….the Sheriff is coming, the Sheriff is coming, the Sheriff is coming….”  All the while spending over $1.7 million dollars per year AND adopting new rules and regulations proclaiming that the association does Not provide any security.    In a Psychology Today Magazine published Jul/Aug 2004, Neil Parmar describes similar stories under the title “Cryig Wolf:  Fabricated Crimes”

He asks:   “ When people stage a crime against themselves, is it just a call for attention?”

“He goes on to say that “ Psychologists have dubbed the phenomenon The Boy Who Cried Wolf Effect, named after Aesop’s fable about a shepherd who fakes wolf attacks”

“People who fake crimes are transforming feelings of invisibility into a fantasy that they may come to believe is reality, says Bonnie Jacobson, a psychologist and director of the New York Institute for Psychological Change in New York City. She says a “hoaxer” wins attention by playing the passive victim, similar to a person with Munchausen syndrome, who fakes an illness to get the attention of doctors or loved ones”

“ In one study, published in the Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin, O’Sullivan found people will more readily believe even outrageous lies when the deceiver is familiar, outgoing and outwardly happy. That’s because we tend to “listen” to their personality more than the content of their story. Hoaxes often spin out of control, O’Sullivan warns, when the liar decides to harm herself to make the hoax appear more convincing”  

Now, we are not hypochondriacs, but Parmar might as well be describing the current CZ Board of Directors!

REQUEST TO MAKE SECURITY TOP CZ PRIORITY - DENIED!

To:  CZ Board of Directors and Coto Residents

Date:  12/10/2005

C.c. Officer Chris Goodwin, CHP; Christa Woodall OR Register, Daniel Ly LA Times

We are herby requesting that the CZ Board officially cancel the scheduled Town Hall meeting to promote the Coto City issue and instead replace it with a Security Town Hall Meeting.

Should the CZ board continue with its negligent and some would argue reckless laissez faire approach to security and misguided priorities by putting the city hood issue above the safety and security of Coto residents, we will coordinate a Security Town Hall meeting on the same date (currently January 5, 2006) and time as the board’s scheduled city hood meeting.  We will attempt to have the CHP present for the Security Town  Hall meeting.  The objective would be to discuss a comprehensive, pro-active traffic control program that may include:

1.  Awareness campaign – In the past, Lt Deck and Captain Elzig have communicated with the CZ board and volunteered to launch such campaign.  Captain Elzig even volunteered to attend CZ Master Board meeting and discuss the issue with residents!  - She was present at the last board meeting, in spite of the rude reception she has gotten from the current board.

2.  Visibility – simply having a CHP patrol car around the most dangerous roads minimizes speeding – even if the vehicles are un-manned - most accidents occur in three roads within Coto – hence these are not “accidents”:  These roads are Coto de Caza Drive, Vista Del Verde and San Miguel.

3.  Community patrol – as residents we have the duty to enforce the corporation’s rules.  Neighborhood watches need to be coordinated with the other security initiatives. 

4.     Issuing citations – A strong deterrent – All violators should then be held accountable for their actions. 

5.       Monitoring – by monitoring relevant statistics (as compared to the useless data currently collected by the board, and communicating with the Neighborhood watch, the community is best able to determine what adjustments are necessary.   We obtain accident data directly from the CHP and crime data from CNN/Money.  Crime rate is higher in Coto de Caza than any neighboring community gated or un-gated, including RSM.  The accident rate has been doubling every year since Bob Varo fired the CHP without a suitable.

BTW:  We are holding the CZ Board, Keystone, legal counsel, The OC Register and CZ Delegates who have supported the board in its laissez faire approach to security, for the recent fatality, as all the data we have indicates this could have been prevented.

We humbly request the board to take immediate action on this proposal.

We also ask resident to communicate with us if willing to attend a Security Town Hall meeting instead of the board scheduled City Hood Town Hall Meeting.  Also communicate with your district delegate and let them know how you feel, as a board recall may be necessary:

Please respond to:

Cotobuzz:   cotobuzz@yahoo.com 

The CZ BOD did cancel the meeting, but refused to make available facilities for us to conduct a Security Town Hall meeting.  Our response to Keystone due to another bone-headed decision:

Hi Cary:

Of course we know the official party line:  Keystone employees simply   "just follow orders" from the CZ board, whether these are legal, ethical, moral or otherwise.

Of course we know that in following orders, instead of taking care of CZ association business, Keystone employees will follow orders and use association funds, by using Keystone personnel to assist other non-CZ entities to man special events, such as in golf tournaments.

However, we already know from Jerry Mezger that your marching orders from the association, in regards to the number ONE issue for Coto residents, which is personal safety, will be to do NOTHING.  Which is what this BOD has done for the last two years.

Thanks,

CZ MASTER ASSOCIATION DELEGATES

ITS SECURITY STUPID!

For the last two years we have been flogging a dead horse – come to think of it, perhaps it is a jackass!

The issue is not about money – heck, the current board subsidizes groups that when added up would pay for the Sheriff, the CHP and perhaps some FBI, CIA and Homeland Security services combined!

This is not counting the $400,000 per year paid to UPS to make sure the Prominent Coto Residents are not inconvenienced! is Not About Efficiency

Neither the CZ Association Property Manager, Keystone executives, nor the board know jack about using “key business indicators” to monitor a traffic-control program.  When questioned about this, the GM simply responded: 

 “Monitoring of the Security Company is done by observations, spot checking gate visits or viewing monitoring cameras, regular meetings with the on-site supervisor and investigation of resident comments or complaints.  The Transponder verification program has been the major activity currently being completed.” – if this is not a bone headed response we do not know what  is.  Even after we have been repeating that the accident rate within Coto is doubling every year, no-one bothers to ask the CHP for the accident rate as THE KEY!  - we make this data available to the board and the property manager and publish it in this forum - but you know, we are simply flogging a jackass!

We know that the Accident Rate within Coto has been the lowest when the CHP was responsible for enforcement – We know Coto will set an all time high accident rate in 2005, with the first known fatality, without the CHP!

The issue is not City Hood

Using his WMP (Weapons of Mass Persuasion), Varo is quoted by the OC Register as saying “Varo said he doesn’t view the CHP contract as the permanent solution to the community’s speeding problem.  He said “Coto needs to become a community services district, that can act like a city, which includes making direct contracts with law enforcement” – OC Register  12/10/2005.  OK, perhaps we got ahead of ourselves when we said that the GM’s response was bone-headed.  Varo’s statement as published by the OC Register is not only bone-headed, is misleading, irresponsible and plain wrong!  This is the excuse he has been using for over two years, and yet in ONE day, when we demand that CHP patrols commence or else, they start.  If the board, does now know,  or is unable to contract with the CHP, we respectfully ask them to step down and let others who know how to do it, do it!  The argument the board has been using is that the board cannot contract the Sheriff directly, so they need to turn Coto into a City - whereas previous boards contracted directly with the CHP, and this board can do so as well, but in the World According to Varo/Mezger, that is tantamount to dealing with extortionists!  Using Varo/Mezger's logic, Coto should get CHP services for free, since residents pay taxes.  Following this logic, then they should also be asking to use toll free roads for free, since residents pay taxes!  Yet, they are willing to turn Coto into a City to bring in the Sheriff.  However, doing this, residents would have double taxation!

The Issue is that Varo Hates the CHP

During the December 8, 2005 CZ board of directors meeting, Varo introduced CHP management as extortionists!

It has been well documented that Varo hates the CHP.  Some have suggested that the reason is because he feels the  CHP  harassed Varo and his drinking buddies.  We are left wondering, since Varo has neither confirmed nor denied these allegations, even though he has been asked this question numerous times at least via the Coto Discussion Forum. 

But the REAL Issue The Issue is Security Stupid!

We suppose that if Coto residents buy into Varo's concept of turning Coto Into a City, then Coto residents are as stupid as he thinks they  are, and they deserve it.  Does this sound familiar?  AP article reports that 9-11 panel concludes US remains unprepared.

WASHINGTON - Time, money and ever-present terror threats have done little to close gaping holes in the nation's security system, the former Sept. 11 Commission said Monday in accusing the government of failing to protect the country against another attack"  See full article:  http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20051206/ap_on_go_co/sept11_commission

The article goes on to say that certain cities spent homeland security monies on air-conditioned garbage trucks!  You should see how THIS board spends Coto resident's money!

THE CZ THREE RING CIRCUS CHALLENGE

We herby challenge the CZ BOD (including the Traffic Safety and Gate Access Control Committee), Keystone and UPS to commit to reduce traffic accidents within Coto to 2002 levels by December 2006.

We believe that this objective is not only realistic, through the pro-active traffic control program that has been advanced to the board for the last two years (shown below for convenience), but it is irresponsible to not even attempt it.  Further, we believe that the most cost-efficient, prudent and expeditious way to implement it is through the use of the CHP, since the association can avoid bureaucratic delays if it continues with its misguided attempts to bring in the Sheriff.  Secondly, the CHP  is the domain expert, as it is the official government entity chartered with traffic investigation, data collection and reporting.

Recommended metrics is through periodic review and study of accident data and corresponding corrective action.

If a program such as the one we have been promoting for the last two years is adopted and does not yield the results we expect, we pledge to shut down CotoBuzz.

MORE THREATS TO COTOBUZZ!

Given our relentless pursuit of the truth and our take no prisoners approach to restoring law and order to Coto,We  have now made many enemies out of Prominent Coto Residents, and Others, and as predicted by Machiavelli, “by those who would benefit from the status quo, and merely lukewarm defenders in those who would gain by the new one”. 

The history of CotoBuzz starts in the early days of the “secret strategy” D&O Group meetings -  At that time, our response to Paul Young in regards to his request to restrict access only to like-minded residents to the first form of the Coto discussion forum,  we expressed my disapproval citing  the following:

The threats started with an ardent board supporter that has since moved from Coto.  Even Jerry Mezger more recently has suggested that we find something more important to do with our  time:  That is, he wants to not only control what we say, but also what we do.

Given the recent tragic events and how we have responded, we have now received new threats, in the form of “I know who you are and where to find you”.

Trying to plan ahead an to make it easy for forensics, we now maintain a computer file titled Jerry’s LOADS – a List Of Ardent Deflectors Supporters, with any back documentation as required – just in Case.

In a complaint registered with the California Attorney General in August 2005,  we detailed CZ Association breaches and tell the AG:  “Paraphrasing the Godfather, I am not superstitious, but if my neighbors, friends or family see themselves suddenly in CC&R violation, I must conclude it was not an accident! “

We now would like to modify the statement to add CC&R violation and sudden violent accident!

CZ BOD HOLDS THE COTO DE CAZA SECURITY AS HOSTAGE

  For over two years, through use of WMP (Weapons of Mass Persuasion), and a perfected LID (Lie/litigate, ignore/ignoramus, or Deny/deflect/delay) Methodology, the CZ Board has held Coto security hostage.

There is little debate in that, we ought to recognize the great debt philosophical, scientific and mathematical thought is owed Aristotle and his logic.  Most recently, Fuzzy Logic was invented and as a result, we can use auto-focus cameras.

However, we have had a great deal of difficulty trying to understand the type of logic used by the CZ in making so many bad decisions, most of which would fail to pass the Business Judgment Rule, and yet legal counsel has done nothing.  Here is an example:  The World According to the CZ BOD: \

THE WORLD ACCORDING TO VARO/MEZGER

In order to understand the World According to Varo/Mezger, One needs to understand  the CZ MHOABOD Language and Logic.

For example, the two sentences below are indivisible with justice for Prominent residents only.

1.  What to Buy?

Also, using the CZ board of director's logic, , bringing in a patrol, any patrol constitutes as Pro-active traffic control - we have been trying to convince them otherwise, for two years!

This is the reason why,  using CZ MHOABOD  Logic, the only way to answer the question, when can we expect to have a pro-active traffic control program? They need to turn Coto into a City.

The consequences of this fusing is a state of never, never nebulosities of open ended possibilities generated by obfuscating motives offered by integrated management options engendered by snorkeling for clear signs of red-colored herrings schools said to lurk in murky, muddy waters of CSD and county bureaucracy,  followed by responsive transitional scenarios of exhaustive journeys traversing countless of nests rats these might have wondered into,  or simply synchronized incremental time-phase scenarios illustrated by sliding down the myriad of slippery slopes available as result of activating the wrong latch

The sick part is that Varo/Mezger have been misleading Coto residents into believing they had a handle on the security issue.  Further, they manipulated the OC Register into believing that, in order to bring back law and order to Coto, Coto must address the City Hood issue.  Obviously, this is false, is misleading and it is irresponsible.  We warned them several times during the last two years, including asking legal counsel to compel the board to articulate and implement a proactive traffic control a couple of weeks before the recent fatality.  We also requested to perform a security audit one week before the recent fatality.

As explained above, what  Varo/Mezger have done is fuse two issues:  1) Their dislike for the CHP with the excuse that the (CHP) services should be provided to Coto for free – the cost of which is pittance in comparison to the waste currently being generated by the  “good guys”  (see below) and 2) Security - These are two totally independent issues, with security being the number one concern for Coto resident.  Yet, after repeated calls to cancel the City Hood Town Hall Meeting scheduled for January 5th, 2005, the board simply canceled the meeting.  Varo/Mezger, and by implication the rest of the board have place a much higher priority to pursuing their personal agendas, over the security of Coto residents.

 Good Guys/Bad Guys as Defined by the CZ Board of Directors

So what type of logic can explain this:  Certainly not scientific logic, certainly not creative or fuzzy logic.  Our answer?  Moronic Logic – negligent, irresponsible, reckless!

RESULTS:  Record setting year for traffic accidents, including a fatality.  CNN/Money not longer lists Coto as a place to live and retire

Even a person with a two digit IQ can see through this and realize there is no way these decisions can stand up in court and be argued they meet the Best Business Judgment Rule – can they?

NOTE:  Even though we use Varo/Mezger in this discussion, it is obvious the other board members are simply Varo/Mezger's puppets - as they have refused to respond to ANY question we have posed to them.

 COTOBUZZ HOLDS CZ BOD/OC REGISTER RESPONSIBLE

For some reason,  the  OC Register has painted the current CZ BOD in an extremely positive light. This type of  reporting  has been unfair, unbalanced, misleading, and at times, plane wrong and irresponsible.  We have communicated with the various reporters and have given them pro-con contacts on several issues - their response?  Just like the one we get from the current CZ boards - which is why we have demanded that the OC Register assume a share of the responsibility for the recent fatality, given that their coverage may have contributed to an environment of complacency.  The reward issued by the OC Register to the reporter?  A promotion to San Clemente Sun Post News, effective immediately!

WEAPONS OF MASS PERSUASION

Through effective use of the OC Register and a carrot and stick, the CZ BOD has convinced a number of followers that the only way in which the CZ board can provide traffic control, is by turning Coto into a City.   One month the board simply says, "The Sheriff is coming, the Sheriff is coming".  Then the next month thhe board argues that they cannot contract directly for patrol services  - instead, the residents need to approve Coto turning into a City.

For example, the OC Register 12/10/2005 edition quotes Bob Varo as saying :  “Coto needs to become a community services district, that can act like a city, which includes making direct contracts with law enforcement”.  We asked the board for clarification as shown below, along with Jerry Mezger's reponse:

Request for Clarification  to a 2/10/2005

As me prepare for the Security Town Hall Meeting Scheduled for January 5, 2006 at the Golf Club, we want to make sure we maximize our time.  Therefore, I respectfully ask you individually and collectively to clarify the following.

1.  During the last board meeting, as a way of introducing the CHP, Bob Varo charged that the CHP was extorting the CZ Association.

1. Is this an individual opinion, the opinion of the CZ board of directors, the majority, or the minority?  Legal counsel?  Keystone Management?
2. If it it’s the opinion of the board of directors, is there any dissent, and if so, who dissents?

2.  The OC Register 12/10/2005 edition quotes Bob Varo as saying :  “Coto needs to become a community services district, that can act like a city, which includes making direct contracts with law enforcement”

1. Is this quote accurate and within context?
2. Is this an individual opinion, the opinion of the CZ board of directors, the majority, or the minority?  Legal counsel?  Keystone Management?
3. If it it’s the opinion of the board of directors, is there any dissent, and if so, who dissents?

Failure to respond by 12/19/2005 will be viewed as confirmation that

the charge of extortion, as well as the CSD position is indeed a CZ board position that has been given the green flag by legal counsel.

Response to CotoBuzz  from Jerry Mezger 12/14/2005

Our Summary to Jerry Mezger's Response:  12/14/2005:

Thank you for your prompt response.

You have confirmed that you agree with Bob Varo, that the CHP is trying to extort the association.

With regards to priorities, you also believe it is more important to address CSD issues than security issues. Ditto for the request to use the facilities

It then follows that you believe the benefit the association derives from spending $400,00/years (including Keystone’s overhead) on useless UPS patrols is much more than what it gets from the CHP.  For your reference, today, we would, without reservation, agree to a contract with the CHP for over $250,000/year. The UPS budget would then be reduced accordingly.

We believe that saving lives is more important than, than having patrols selectively issue citations for illegal parking.

PROACTIVE TRAFFIC CONTROL PROPOSALS

For the last two years, we have been asking the board not only for  a pro-active traffic control program, but for a comprehensive security program (crime and accident prevention and privacy)

We have advanced numerous proposal, including a pro-active traffic control program such as the one listed below.  The response from the Board.  You guessed it - Zilch, nada, which is why we are asking for them to step down, as wel as executives from the property management company and the associations legal counsel:

1.  Awareness campaign – In the past, Lt Deck and Captain Elzig have communicated with the CZ board and volunteered to launch such campaign.  Captain Elzig even volunteered to attend CZ Master Board meeting and discuss the issue with residents!  - She was present at the last board meeting, in spite of the rude reception she has gotten from the current board.

2.  Visibility – simply having a CHP patrol car around the most dangerous roads minimizes speeding – even if the vehicles are un-manned - most accidents occur in three roads within Coto – hence these are not “accidents”:  These roads are Coto de Caza Drive, Vista Del Verde and San Miguel.

3.  Community patrol – as residents we have the duty to enforce the corporation’s rules.  Neighborhood watches need to be coordinated with the other security initiatives. 

4.     Issuing citations – A strong deterrent – All violators should then be held accountable for their actions. 

5.       Monitoring – by monitoring relevant statistics (as compared to the useless data currently collected by the board, and communicating with the Neighborhood watch, the community is best able to determine what adjustments are necessary.   We obtain accident data directly from the CHP and crime data from CNN/Money.  Crime rate is higher in Coto de Caza than any neighboring community gated or un-gated, including RSM.  The accident rate has been doubling every year since Bob Varo fired the CHP without a suitable.

EXCERPTS FROM REQUEST TO THE OC REGISTER FOR FULL RETRACTION

As you may know, we previously demanded an apology from the OC Register for its sloppy and irresponsible reporting that promoted the CZ Master Association laissez faire attitude toward law and order and has led to a record high accident rate in the community, including a fatal accident.

The article titled Fatal Accident Spurs Patrols in Coto, in the December 10, 2005 issue is case in point: The article advances the board’s position that in order to have a permanent solution to the traffic control issue, the association first needs to decide the city hood (CSD) issue.  The reason being that only a CSD can contract directly with a traffic control agency.  Which is not only misleading, but it is also false, and irresponsible – we are now requesting a full retraction with an apology.  Especially given that one of the reporters responsible is now being characterized as having been promoted!

The facts are:

1. The CSD issue is totally independent of the security issue and the board can negotiate directly with the CHP, the only tried and true solution known to Coto.
2. For some unknown reason, the board has decided to pursue the CSD issue at a higher priority than to bring back law and order, by hiring the CHP
3. The Association, at least Robe Varo and Jerry Mezger are not partial to the CHP.  They in fact have charged the CHP with extortion.  For context, the total “extortion” is about $110,000/year.  However, the board thinks nothing of paying close to $400,000 for useless private patrols to selectively cite illegally parked cars.  They also think nothing of redefining the term community, as commonly used in Common Interest Development circles, to grant subsidies to various groups, in additional to certain free-loaders – that is, residents who enjoy the association infrastructure, without paying anything.
4. The accident rate within Coto when the CHP was here in 2002 was roughly one per month.  Since the CHP left Coto, the accident rate has double every year.  2005  will be a record setting year in terms of accidents, including the only known traffic  fatality within the community.
5. We previously cited CNN/Money’s statistics showing the crime rate within Coto to be higher than any of the neighboring fated or un-gated communities.  In 2002, Coto was listed by CNN/Money  as one of the best places to live and to retire.  Currently, it is not even listed.
6. The CZ Board scheduled a CSD Town Hall Meeting for January 5^th 2006.  When we pressed them to cancel, and table to topic, until  the security issue is addressed, the board reluctantly cancelled the meeting, but has refused to allows us the facilities to continue the security discussion.
7. Multiple comprehensive security proposals have been presented to the board, and not one has ever been considered.  Yet the board has failed to articulate one, even when OC Register headline read “Coto de Caza Has Traffic Plan”
8. The CZ has used legal funds to squelch free speech
9. Multiple California Attorney General Complaints have been filed for breach of fiduciary duty.
10. We have issued the CZ board the following challenge:
1. We herby challenge the CZ BOD (including the Traffic Safety and Gate Access Control Committee), Keystone and UPS to commit to reduce traffic accidents within Coto to 2002 levels by December 2006.

We believe that this objective is not only realistic, through the pro-active traffic control program that has been advanced to the board for the last two years (shown below for convenience), but it is irresponsible to not even attempt it.  Further, we believe that the most cost-efficient, prudent and expeditious way to implement it is through the use of the CHP, since the association can avoid bureaucratic delays if it continues with its misguided attempts to bring in the Sheriff.  Secondly, the CHP  is the domain expert, as it is the official government entity chartered with traffic investigation, data collection and reporting.

Recommended metrics is through periodic review and study of accident data and corresponding corrective action.

If a program such as the one we have been promoting for the last two years is adopted and does not yield the results we expect, we pledge to shut down CotoBuzz.

Proposed Pro-Active Traffic Control

1.  Awareness campaign – request CHP to  attend CZ Master Board meeting and discuss the issue with residents

2.  Visibility – simply having a CHP patrol car around the most dangerous roads minimizes speeding – even if the vehicles are un-manned - most accidents occur in three roads within Coto – hence these are not “accidents”:  These roads are Coto de Caza Drive, Vista Del Verde and San Miguel.

3.  Community patrol – as residents we have the duty to enforce the corporation’s rules.  Neighborhood watches need to be coordinated with the other security initiatives. 

4.   Issuing citations – A strong deterrent

5.  Monitoring –monitor accident rate and take corrective action

A somewhat competent community journalist would be knowledgeable about the issues and ask relevant probing questions to make sure a balanced view was presented.  In this case, OC Register reporters have been provided with relevant information but failed to follow up.  Refer to email below as an example:

 We are not optimistic at all that the challenge issued to the board will even be considered.  We hope there is more integrity with the OC Register.
