Public commenter alleges obstruction at Central Basin Municipal Water District, questions standby charges and Prop 218 compliance
Summary
A public commenter during the Santa Fe Springs council meeting said he had evidence alleging obstruction of an investigation involving Campstone Partners Group Inc. and Delterra Real Estate Services Inc., raised concerns about a Central Basin standby-charge settlement and asked whether those charges violate Proposition 218.
During the public-comment period, a resident identified in the transcript as "Lease choir" raised multiple complaints concerning regional water districts and related legal matters and asked the council to note the records in the public record.
The commenter said he had raised an "obstruction of investigation into Campstone Partners Group Inc. and including Delterra Real Estate Services Inc.," and asserted there was a legal letter "written by the attorneys that the board members never saw." He said the Central Basin Municipal Water District recently entered a settlement in a lawsuit about standby-charge property-tax revenues and noted that the same type of charge appears in Central Basin. "I just want to know if those are in violation of Proposition 218," he said, adding he planned to pursue related inquiries in nearby jurisdictions.
The commenter said he would present copies of the letter and the agreement "as part of the public record," and also referenced a separate Memorial Day recognition, veteran issues and a later planned approach to Downey on a related matter.
Ending: The commenter’s statements were recorded in the public-comment section; no city action or referral was recorded in the meeting minutes on the matter during this session.
