Coto is Very Safe: Coto de Caza Board of Directors - Coto Has A Drug Problem, OCSD

Coto is Very Safe: Coto de Caza Board of Directors - Coto Has A Drug Problem, OCSD
The OC Sheriff's Dept’s Deputy Finley states that Coto de Caza has a a serious teenage drug problem. Coto teenagers are involved in nearly 99% of all teenage drug incidents in the areas he serves. Which is consistent with what CotoBuzz has been reporting for the last four years, but contrary to what residents have been led to believe by the current board.

Drugs, money and spoiled kids go hand in hand. I suspect we have a lot of them in Coto like all other wealthy communities. However, that is not a CZ responsibility. The CZ Board needs to focus on the business of CZ as described in our governing documents and in accordance with the laws governing HOA’s. Remember, CZ is not a city or a social service agency contrary to Varo/Mezger popular belief. Joe Morabito (former member of the Coto de Caza board of directors)

Hi Joe:

We have a different perspective.

Oppressed, disadvantaged communities are not immune to drug abuse by teenagers.

We believe that concerned for public safety should be the thread that links every community and the single issue that mostly unifies such.

We have argued in the past, and continue to do so, that public safety starts with community culture and it is all about law and order. You may recall that earlier this year, the Varo/Mezger board denied us access to community facilities to hold a security town hall meeting, when association resources are made available to and have been made to, to friends of homeowners.

A comprehensive public safety plan includes measuring “chatter” associated with crime, vandalism, traffic incidents and invasion of privacy – people may be surprised that this chatter can be correlated to terrorism. What is needed is coordination between the community (such as the newly energized neighborhood watch) and the various local law enforcement agencies as well as county and state – after all, there are millions of (unspent) dollars available to California for such effort.
