MHS' and DPW's non-existant fictious SR2 endorser

Hi Karita,

Rosalind Hamar (MHS) and Craig Tackaberry (DPW) made the following false statement on page 7 fourth bullet of their SR2S application.

"The Homewood Valley Community Association Traffic Calming Committee endorse the Traffic Management Plan developed by the County and the proposed improvements for traffic calming (narrowing the travel lanes and sidewalk improvements)."

The following are knowingly blatant false statements.

1. The "Homewood Valley Community Association Traffic Calming Committe" does not exist. And its impossible to misname this fictious organization cited by the applicants.
2. Craig Tackabery has denied that the County (DPW) developed a "Traffic Management Plan" as stated by the applicants.

We believe we have provided you with sufficient evidence to warrant the rescinding of SR2S funds for cause. That cause being MHS' and DPW's false statements, incomplete statements and fraudulent use of these funds to aid MHS to comply with 2005-105 Use Permit requirement.

We expect that SR2S funds be used solely to aid neighborhood school children to walk to their school from their neighborhood school and back. Not to provide a comfortable walk from a student commuter parking lot to school in only in morning only when the County monitors MHS arriving and departing vehicles.

Unless appropriate action is taken the residents of Homestead Valley may as a "class" be compelled to seek relief.

Fwd: False SR2S statement " The Traffic Management Plan developed by the County

Director Mansourian,

Your Nov. 6th public statement at DPW’s Evergreen Ave. sidewalk review meeting that there are no false statements in the MHS/DPW application for SR2S funding is uniformed.

DPW's application for SR2S funds contains the following false statement on
Page 7 fourth bullet which states:

"The Traffic Management Plan developed by the County and proposed improvements for traffic calming (narrowing of travel lanes and sidewalk improvements"

That this is a false statement is confirmed by Mr. C. Tackabery's below email response to my below Nov. 11 email asking if the County had developed MHS'
Traffic Management Plan as claimed by the MHS and DPW applicants.

Your personnel acknowledgement of receipt of this email is respectfully requested as well as the action you will tale to correct DPW's false statement.

I checked with our staff and the only traffic plans we are aware of are the ones
by Harrison and Dowling, which you mention.

Bob.

Marin Horizon School has publicly referred to a "Marin Horizon School Traffic
Management Plan developed by the County".

I've been involved with a locsal resident's group overseeing Marin Horizon
School since 2003 and have never heard that the County developed a Trafic
Management Plan for MHS. Is this true or an uniformed mis-statement ?

I do know that Marin Horizon School's traffic consultant R. Harrison developed a
Trafic Management Plan in 2003 and Dowling & Associates revised it in 2010.
I presume DPW Land Management and Water Resources reviewed it each time.

Thanks,
Charles

In 2005 Supervisors Kinsey voted to impose Marin Horizon School on Homestead Valley as it would not have a significant negative environmental impact according to the County's Marin Horizon School Environmental Impact Study traffic findings prepared by Marin Horizon School's own traffic consultants. Neither the Couny or Kinsey saw no conflict of interest in having Marin Horizon School Environmental Impact Study traffic findings prepared by Marin Horizon School own traffic consultants.
