Coto de Caza’s Public Safety, A Job For The Mounties -

Coto de Caza’s Public Safety, A Job For The Mounties - A Paraphrase of the Orange County Register – But, why waste scarce, precious resources patrolling horse trails?

The Mounties are Coming, the Mounties are Coming….!

February 17, 2007
It is no secret that the Orange County Register has been an ardent supporter of the Varo/Mezger administration. There is evidence that the editor collaborated with the board to silence critics, including the CotoBuzz Journal: The OCR board of directors failed to respond to the CotoBuzz Journal complaints for depraved indifference exhibited by the Coto de Caza administration, immediately after the first traffic fatality in December of 2005.
Recently (The December 29 2006 issue of CanyonLife), the Orange County Registers “2006 Year in Review”, even fails to mention the tragic death of Mr. Morteza Manian after he was struck by a teen arrested for hit and run, resisting arrest and manslaughter – yet board members blame Mr. Morteza for “violating the vehicle code”!
Yesterday’s issue of the Orange County Register (February 16, 2007) reports on the association’s February 2000 board meeting with the headline “Improving patrols in Coto – Coto de Caza’s CZ Master Association board of directors discusses improvements to security patrols”. The major announcement covered was the “announcement that Universal Protection Services was revamping how it deploys the roving patrol …and mounted units of the Sheriff’s department would soon be patrolling the horse trails and fire roads that surround the community”….the same argument used by the Varo/Mezger board to fire the CHP when they first came to power! – However, in five years, the Sheriff has been MIA. Further, we have regularly argued that public safety is not rocket science – all that is needed to reduce accidents is to patrol four streets, as indicated by CHP's statistics:: Coto de Caza Drive, Vista Del Verde, San Miguel and Plano Trabuco – why would anyone consider patrolling horse trails as a first priority?
The same OCR issue (February 16, 2007) publishes partial citation results showing the number of citations issued to 20-years old and younger, but fails to document the GRUP problem in the Coto de Caza community. See 3Q2006 Coto de Caza Citation Distribution by Age
We should note that when critics have exposed the Varo/Mezger boards, the OCR city editor “paraphrases the facts”. For example, when Ed Caruso indicated during an association meeting that board president R. Varo had indicated his desire to fire the CHP as soon as the Welcome Home Center was ready, the OCR coverage “paraphrased the facts” to make it appears as if the lier was Mr. Caruso. This story is documented in this CotoBlogzz: In the August 4 issue of the OCR’s CanyonLife, hidden under a picture of the Pet of the Week, appears an inconspicuous paragraph titled Clarification that reads”
“Coto resident Ed Caruso and Board President Bob Varo of the CZ Master Association disagreed on whether Varo, in a private meeting, told Caruso that he planned to fire the California Highway Patrol from traffic duty within the community. A story in the July 14 edition of Canyon Life/Rancho Santa Margarita News about a Public Safety Committee session may have been unclear in describing the exchange between the two men”
Consider that the November 28 issue of the Orange Country Register, in response to the CotoBuzz Journal “The First 100-Days..” carries a story with the headlines: “New CZ Master Board hits 6 Months, Most Residents, Past Members Happy With Progress” , and in a major ironic twist, cites Larkin as saying :We felt that there was not enough accountability and the willingness to work with the DNO wasn’t’ there” – this coming from a board who fired a safety committee chairman who came forward right after the first traffic fatality within the community, for refusing to pursue the board’s personal agendas over public safety and for refusing to give up her free speech rights as a condition to work with the administration. The same board who has displayed unparalleled depraved indifference and animosity toward the California Hyway Patrol agency.
The same Varo/Mezger board who called the CHP extortionists, then fired the CHP for pro-active traffic patrols without a suitable alternative with fatal results: Accident rates doubled each year the CHP was away from the community and the first two fatalities in the community were recorded as a result.
The same board who has used unprecedented legal resources to silence critics and trample on civil liberties.
The same Varo/Mezger board who fired the largest private security in the world and replaced it with a small regional one without evidence of due diligence with corresponding fiascos.
The same Varo/Mezger board who was coerced into bringing back the CHP because of the short-termed anger over the first fatality, the road certification expired rendering the CHP re-hiring practically useless for a time – the blame for road certification expiration went to a missing “tickler file like the ones trademark attorneys use”
The same Varo/Mezger board who approved the gardener and the private security guard’s raise before the Varo/Mezger board was coerced into renewing the CHP contract for 2007.
The same Varo/Mezger board who approved the training of private security guards, yet the CHP is the only service provider in the Varo/Mezger boards to ever get a contract reviewed quarterly!
The Same Varo/Mezger board who refused to allow the CHP to conduct public awareness campaigns to prevent accidents – instead, turned over complete meeting to “desperate wives” show.
The Same Varo/Mezger board who is paying the private security company 1000% more than the CHP, yet getting 1,000,000% less benefit – not even counting the human toll!
It is obvious that the Varo/Mezger board is trying to push CHP management away so they can finally get their way. Perhaps the next argument is that the Canadian Mounties are coming to Coto?
