GALATI & BLEK, LLP: Read the Blog

GALATI & BLEK, LLP are the legal advisers for AES Power Plant. One could assume they are looking out for the interests of their client by monitoring the posting on the Internet.

In the past their visits to the web page indicate that there is some kind of action taken in Sacramento that may be of interest to those keeping us posted on all things AES/HS#3 and RDA....

This seems to be the quiet period of all things Political. Remember 3 seats are up for election in November for our own City Council.

IF you think you want to run..... and bring NEW INDEPENDENT VIEWS to the City Council... PLEASE SEE THE CITY CLERK about the process. It is never to early to get started.

Remember there is no "Income" from being a member of the City Council. However, there is medical coverage, and other insurance benefits, and 200.00 per month automatic travel payments, in addition to the meeting stipend, and city paid trips and events to "Off Set" the time and efforts spent by the Council Members and to attend training and "learn to Lobby" at the larger local and national levels. Including being a member of the PAC that wants to promote the use of Eminent Domain for the use of "Economic Development by RDA's and Developers".

So if you want to represent the interests of Youth, or the Young Family in Grand Terrace, or bring a new voice and vision to the City Council.... PLEASE RUN....

Sub Business in GT gets Soggy

Sub Depot is for lease:

In the Press Ent:
Sub Shop for Lease.... Sign Lease only......
Barton Rd... Grand Terrace.... and a phone number and address...

Yep. The "Redevelopment" of Down Town, having a Sub Way, move into Grand Terrace stressed a Existing Family Owned Business.... Sub Depot.....

Is this fair Competition.... was the Government of Grand Terrace's Relationship with Doug Jacobsen in anyway party to this?

We should judge the Benefit of New Development as good if and only if EXISTING BUSINESSES also Benefit from the New Development.

Let's Hope what ever business is in Grand Terrace can survive the Additional Development being Pushed by the City of Grand Terrace RDA and Doug Jacobsen. The Chamber of Commerce should be thinking about this rush to additional development as it will reach a saturation point for all types of businesses.

GT: City Council .... Putting the Mark on Graffiti-ists

The City Council has moved to make the tools of Graffiti a Code Violation..

This will make it possible for the possession of a marking pen to justify an arrest or search.

I support the idea that Graffiti is a bad thing. The City Council finds it Ugly and lowers Property Values. I see it as a sign of other criminal activity, and I would rather allow the Graffiti be the smoke that the sheriff follows to the more serious crimes. BUT, to make every one with a marking pen a suspect is a stretch. Some Teachers, Shop Owners, or others may have a valid reason for having a sharpie in their possession.

So does this new Code truly serve the goal of the Citizens and City? We must give this and all "New Codes" and "Old Codes" a critical thought as to how an over reaching government could use the Code to breach your Human Rights.

There will be most of you who say.... hey it is a can of paint, a sharpie, or a marking pen... what are you getting all upset about...

Well, I for one do not think that more government or codes will fix the graffiti problem. Address the economic stress in the community, homes and living is costing us to much. Address the lack of attention paid to Youth between ages of 12 to 18. Pay attention and arrest drug dealers and users amongst us. Enforce Loitering and Trespassing Laws and Codes already on the books... There is no need for additional Codes about pens and cans of paint.

I do agree that any parent who has a youth or young adult with a spay can collection who is later found to be painting graffiti, should be publicly humiliated for their lack of parenting skills and shamed as a family, and required to provide not money as restitution, but TIME... picking up trash, removing weeds in curbs, and other tasks while wearing a sign that says. "I raised a Graffiti Artist... I am a bad parent... This is my Graffiti Artist Son... His work is on a Public Place NEAR YOUR HOME... AND a BIG SIGN should be painted and put in their yard for a few months, and on each of their cars...

PUBLIC SHAME for this may be the answer to this conduct, if it is not tied to anyother criminal activity.

City Council of Grand Terrace Is A Part of this :....

Long Beach Press Telegram Blasts League of CA Cities "Slush Fund"
The League of California Cities and their redevelopment allies face continuing critisism for their use of taxpayer dollars to finance a political campaign against property rights protections. The Long Beach Press Telegram says, "voters are used to big-spending campaigns aimed at swaying their decisions at election time, but they shouldn't have their own money used against them. That's what seems to be happening on the issue of eminent domain."
The Press Telegram explains the League's improper use of public funds, saying, "the contributions are coming from the associations themselves, not directly but, they say, from such sources as seminars and advertising revenue in their magazines. But public money at least partly supports those sources. It's a convenient way to create a political slush fund that should be illegal if it isn't already."
The League of California Cities and other public agency associations have spent nearly $4 million dollars from their anonymous so-called "non-public funds" accounts to finance opposition to Proposition 98, a eminent domain reform ballot measure that will restore private property rights protections in California .

Dont Tread On Me... Limit Ement Domain USE

THE FACTS ABOUT: Proposition 98.

California Property Owners & Farmland Protection Act. California Constitutional Amendment. Protect property rights for all Californians.Californians for Property Rights Protection is a coalition of homeowners, family farmers, small business owners, and other property owners (small and large) led by the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association, California Farm Bureau Federation, and The California Alliance to Protect Private Property Rights. Together, this powerful coalition has qualified Proposition 98, the California Property Owners and Farmland Protection Act (CPOFPA), for the June 3, 2008 ballot.

The CPOFPA is a constitutional amendment. Changes to the constitution made by this initiative can only be made by a majority of voters in the state, not the State Legislature. Summary of key provisions in the initiative: Private property may not be taken by eminent domain for private use under any circumstances (e.g. to build a shopping center, auto mall or industrial park).

Property may be taken by eminent domain only for public use (e.g.. freeway construction, parks, schools). Property may not be taken by government and used for the same purposes (e.g. residential housing cannot be used for government housing).

Family farms and open space are protected from seizures by government for the purpose of selling the natural resources. If a public agency takes property under false pretenses, or abandons its plans, the property must be offered for sale to the original owner at the original price and the property tax would be assessed at the value of the property when it was originally condemned. If farmers or business owners are evicted by eminent domain, they would be entitled to compensation for temporary business losses, relocation expenses, business reestablishment costs and other reasonable expenses. Government may not set the price at which property owners sell or lease their property.

However, tenants who live in rent-regulated communities will continue to receive the benefit of those regulations as long as they live in their residences. Key Issues:The Constitution of the State of California provides that "All people by nature are free and independent and have inalienable rights. Among these are enjoying and defending life and liberty, acquiring, possessing and protecting property . . ."

Proposition 98 reaffirms and strengthens the private property protections set forth in our state constitution. Property rights are a fundamental, core value among California voters. Statewide survey research shows more than 67% support for an eminent domain reform ballot initiative - Republicans, Democrats, independents, seniors and baby boomers all support the initiative. Enhanced farmland protections provided in this amendment increase support for this measure among environmentally concerned voters. Prohibiting sale or lease price regulations protects property owners when they sell or lease their property to others. At the same time,

Prop. 98 protects current tenants from unanticipated increases in their rents. Nothing in Proposition 98 would prohibit or limit legitimate land use decisions, zoning, work place laws, or environmental protections. Nor would it expose public agencies to costly litigation.


THE Leauge of Cities' flawed measure, Prop. 99 lets YOUR PROPERTY BE TAKEN IF YOU HAVE LIVED IN IT LESS THAN A YEAR, or IF IT IS A FARM OR OPEN SPACE.... IT DOES NOT PROTECT YOUR PROPERTY.... IT IS A FAKE. (Of course this is the one OUR City Council will Support as it will give them MORE POWER OVER YOUR PROPERTY than the Prop 98 does.) Do not be FOOLED...

VOTE FOR PROP 98 in JUNE>>>>>>

EXPERT REVIEW OF THE 16,000.00 SURVEY

Dear GrandPa:
After consulting 2 statisticians, of which one is a Ph.d., here is some scientific opinion of the Grand Terrace Community survey.

The Problem(S) with Probolsky Survey Design:

The Grand Terrace Community Survey was an opportunity for the city to gauge the opinions of its residents, using statistics as a basis for assessment. Although some portions of the evaluation were correct, other parts of the study reflected poor statistical design, leaving the entire survey open to scientific scrutiny. Listed below are the major comparisons.

Probolsky Design
· Random sample size of 300 based upon names from registered voters only
Better Design
· Random sample size of 300 based upon names from water or electricity bill

Probolsky Design
· Responses generated only by home phone
Better Design
· Responses generated by phone, mail, and web

Probolsky Design
· Poor statistical analysis, with no statistical tests to show differences between subgroups

Better Design
· Stronger statistical analysis, including weighted percent corrections for biased (skewed) samples

Probolsky Design
· Proper framing of questions about the library; bias shown to those about eminent domain, the power plant, and the senior center; use of leading questions
Better Design
· Proper framing of questions, with no bias to issues; use of “Do you agree or disagree…”

Probolsky Design
· Open-ended questions followed by closed-ended question, with exclusions to respondents that weren’t informed on the issue in few questions
Better Design
· Open-ended questions followed by closed-ended question, with exclusions to respondents that weren’t informed on the issue in all questions

Probolsky Design
· Language of eminent domain question was complex
Better Design
· All questions simple

Probolsky Design
· One survey, that is generalized to reflect the opinions of all residents
Better Design
Pilot study or focus group to eliminate bias and complex questions, followed by a properly executed survey


First, although the sample size of 300 was statistically correct, the population of those surveyed was limited only to registered voters, restricting the number of randomly determined surveyees to only those on the voter roles. A truly random population could have better been derived from names from the water or electricity bill. Recall, that “random” means that each resident has the equal probability of being chosen by chance. Yet, if the sample only included registered voters, then immediately non-registered voters were eliminated from the population, creating a bias.

Second, the population of those surveyed was further restricted to only those who had a home phone, and answered that phone between a narrow span of only 4 days. A better design would have allowed random responses from phone, mail, and the web; as much as 20% of residents are estimated to use only their cell phone, rather than home phone.

Third, the survey lacked strong statistical analysis to truly show differences between subgroups. For example, in the raw data tables, the demographics of age groups 35-54 and income group of 100,000+ represented the majority of those surveyed. These groups skewed the data. In addition, proper statistical corrections, such as weighting or log values were not done. Rather, only percents were totaled and grouped, further weakening the data. A better method of analysis would have used stronger statistical tests for true comparisons of differences.

Fourth, only some of the questions were properly framed with an open-ended structure, followed by a closed-ended formation, allowing only respondents who were knowledgeable about a particular issue to respond. This structure properly created a statistical climate in which only those who used the library, for instance, could respond. In addition, the question about the library was one of the few that were not biased or misleading. On the contrary, questions about eminent domain, the power plant, and the senior center were set up to be leading, or the wording was too complex to be understood. A better design would have used questions that were not biased and that included “Do you agree or disagree…”

Finally, the results of this survey should be taken with a grain of salt. Rather than making the survey out to be a generalization of the opinions of all residents of Grand Terrace, the survey should be regarded (upon further completion of statistical analysis) as a pilot study. A better method would have included a focus group first, followed by the actual survey, for that focus group would have eliminated bias and complex questions. Next time, use the science of statistics to get more value for your $16,000.

What to Do...???? City Management Should Attend.

Below is an article about Improper Management of the Proper use of Eminent Domain.

In Grand Terrace, the City Manager Threatens to Use Eminent Domain to "Encourage Land Owners to "Negotiate or be under Eminent Domain" sell their property to a City Manger Selected Developer.

Sure Eminent Domain was never used this way in Grand Terrace to the final stage. However, it was close... and if they thought they could survive the politics of it they would. So what we have in OUR CITY is an ATTITUDE they WANT TO USE EMINENT DOMAIN for ECONOMIC PRIVATE DEVELOPMENT, but they FEAR the POLITICAL RESULTS. I'd rather have a City that has a Policy and Attitude and Code that they WILL NOT USE EMINENT DOMAIN for ECONOMIC PRIVATE DEVELOPMENT.

CASSIE MACDUFF It's a classic property owner's nightmare: Bulldozers arrive and shave off 14 feet from the front of your lot, while you protest that it's your property and they're trespassing. The government has seized your property without notifying you, without offering to buy your land and without exercising eminent domain.

This happened last summer to truck-yard owner Mike Lawson and several other property owners on Tippecanoe Avenue in San Bernardino near the former Norton Air Force Base. The Inland Valley Development Agency is widening Tippecanoe to accommodate trucks from warehouses that have sprung up in recent years.

Lawson moved his truck yard to the area from Redlands six years ago. At the time, the neighborhood was run-down and largely vacant, Lawson said. He had no inkling of the building boom to come. One day last summer, Lawson got a phone call from a Matich Corp. official saying his driveway would be blocked beginning the next Monday to install curbs and gutters. Lawson protested that he had not been notified and needed access for the tractor-trailers that use his yard daily. The Matich official seemed sympathetic and invited Lawson to company headquarters. But once there, Lawson said, company officials' attitude changed. They shouted him down and told him the work would begin regardless.

Matich Corp. President Stephen Matich didn't return my call seeking comment Monday. When the work began, Lawson said, his mailbox was knocked over and left on the ground, the driveway had to be graded and other damage fixed.

Worse, losing 14 feet from the front of his property has made it difficult for truck drivers to get into the yard because their trailers hang out into the street when they stop at the gate to use the security keypad.

IVDA executive Don Rogers and counsel Tim Sabo on Monday morning blamed the problem on an overzealous contractor and admitted work shouldn't have been done before the agency bought the land from the property owners.

City Engineer Robert Eisenbeisz said he hadn't heard about the blunder until now and IVDA officials should have kept city officials informed. The road-widening is on a city street.

The city allowed the IVDA to manage the project but relied on the agency to keep the city apprised of progress and problems. "We depend on IVDA to communicate these issues," Eisenbeisz said. "We're probably going to have to have good talk with them." The city has safeguards to make sure such mistakes don't happen on city projects, he said: Construction contracts aren't awarded until property has been acquired.

Lawson and his lawyers met with an IVDA lawyer Monday afternoon to discuss how the IVDA will rectify the situation. No settlement was reached, but the IVDA lawyer didn't balk at suggested remedies including moving the gate so trucks don't block the street while drivers press the keypad, lawyer Wilfrid C. Lemann said.

The blunder is an embarrassment for the IVDA, Sabo said, and the agency or its contractor will have to pay for the land and possibly other damages. IVDA should go further and review its policies to make sure nothing like this happens again. Cassie MacDuff can be reached at 909-806-3068 or cmacduff@PE.com

Eminent Domain Propositions on Nov Ballot:

Propositions 98 and 99 are designed to add property rights protection against the actions like KELSO Case.

98 protects your home if you have lived in it for a full year.

99 protects your home and your business.

Protect from who... The City Redevelopment Agency who wants to force you to sell so your property can be resold to a Developer for their private benefit.

Sure there may be a higher economic use of one piece of property, but it has been the founding cause or issue of this blog that no matter the economic "advantage" surrendered, it is NEVER RIGHT TO TREAD on PROPERTY RIGHTS.

Eminent Domain is to be used only for REQUIRED roads and Public Services. These uses require PUBLIC OWNERSHIP of the affected property. IT is not to be sold and private development later down the road.

Nationalization or in this case City Management of Private Assets is called Fascist Economic Structure. Let's not continue down that economic path.

Business in Grand Terrace / Violations Suspected

Hammar-Lift has been operating in Grand Terrace for several years... see their web page.

Swertfegers Equipment INC http://swertfegers.vihn.net/home.asp is the "Owener" of the property where that business is doing business. Swartfiger Equipment's Operations have raised concern regarding Conditional Use Permit Violations.

In the discovery process the fact that Hammar-Lift a separate entity and business has a facility on the site raised question and concern. When City Officials were asked about the building permits, and business licenses and permits on that Unique Business Entity none were provided.

Perhaps there is a Lease agreement between Swartfiger Equipment and Hammar-Lift. This would be on record with San Bernardino County Records if it were properly filed.

Now here is the rub. We have all seen the man selling strawberries run out of town because he has no business license. In addition he may lose all his inventory and his transportation to confiscation. What action has the City taken to collect back taxes and licenses on this company? What action has the City Planning and Code Inspectors taken to insure that the operations are permitted and safe for that location and the employees and neighbors?

This is a matter still under investigation.

THIS IS THERE WEB SITE INFORMATION

Production increasing at Hammar Lift in California.

The production at Hammar Lift, Inc. facility at Grand Terrace in California is increasing steadily. The company that was founded in 2006 does now have an ever increasing production flow of four different HAMMAR trailers for two HAMMAR crane models, the 151 and the 195 cranes.
The production will soon be moved to new production facilities for increased capacity and efficiency. Measures that is necessary to meet the demand of HAMMAR sideloaders from the market.
Containers are coming in to Grand Terrace with cranes and trailer beams to be ready assembled and finished with US components and delivered to customers, all over North America.
“This is a very exiting period!” says Lars Frantzich, VP of Hammar Lift, Inc. and responsible for the operation.
“A lot of hard work, but very rewarding when the HAMMAR’s reach their new owners and start their operation. We expect to increase the assembly and continue developing the sales to new customers all over the US and Canada too. There is certainly enough need for our equipment on the market to keep us busy for a long time.”

New Production Facilities
Hammar Lift, Inc. USA anxiously waits for the new production facility in Grand Terrace, CA, which will be finished early in 2008.

Shipment Arrives
Another container arrives in CA and as always….it is full.
Trailer frames and the Crane Sets are made in a very modern HAMMAR factory in Olsfors Sweden, for export to over 85 countries around the world and now….to the USA. All other components to make US DOT approved trailers; axles, hubs, wheels, brakes, suspensions and lighting are sourced in the US by Hammar Lift, Inc. west coast operation, where the trailer manufacturing and final assembly is done.

Unpacking is Tedious Work
Trailer frames made in Sweden coming out of the container.
It is hard to believe…….a sideloader manufacturer unloading a container while it is sitting on the chassis, but when sales sells everything by the time it is ready, or before, you have no choice.
It will be great when the drayage company gets their sideloader and can set it on the ground for unloading.


Unloading at Ground Level
Unloading the container at ground level is what it’s all about.
Safe, fast, less problems and……..it’s the way it was loaded!

In Assembly
A New HAMMAR 20/40/45/48 telescoping trailer is ready for crane mounting and then moved into the finishing stage.The 195 C Combinated telescoping trailer with sliding cranes will handle one 20’, 2 x 20’, one 40’, one 45’ or even 48’ containers with load up to 33 Metric Tonnes or 73000 lbs.
