plied few documents – three emails , two phone records , one screenshot , and one text . Three additional letters were needed to get this information . The dispatch log was released only because it might aid the City Manager . Many more documents are still being withheld .
On the day the CPRA was filed , Nov . 18 , an initial inquiry to the Police Department was made at 9:08 a . m . This was followed by an 11:24 a . m . email from the City Manager to City Council explaining her ticket . Who from the Police Department informed her of the pending CPRA that wasn ’ t officially filed until 2:55 p . m . that day ?
Then the coverup began in earnest . On Nov . 23 Captain Nichols met with Officer Gregg to “ explain ” why what he reported was incorrect . On Nov . 29 at 8:21 a . m ., Officer Gregg asks Captain Nichols why another meeting with the Chief and City Manager is being held . He expresses concern over the intent of the meeting “ I understand it was a clarification meeting about the CM ’ s comments and my concerns about the integrity of her statements at the time of the stop .” Only then , at 11:46 a . m ., does Captain Nichols send Chief Calvert a report documenting what happened at the meeting six days earlier with Officer Gregg . Chief Calvert then sends this email to the City Manager at 2:16 p . m . Why all these meetings ? Why was it necessary to “ explain ” to Officer Gregg what he saw while denying him access to his own body cam footage ? Why are they informing the City Manager ? Isn ’ t there an obvious conflict of interest
because she is the defendant ? Why did the City produce an edited and false version of the body cam footage ? Why was the tape speeded up twice , obscuring the initial offense time ? Why did they say Officer Gregg asked the City Manager if she was using her cell phone while driving when he never said that ? Why list the “ event ” time as 9:09 a . m . when it happened 44 seconds earlier when Officer Gregg spotted her on Coast Highway at Anita ?
Why all this staff time , money for a specialized law firm and misinformation to hide the City Manager ’ s simple traffic stop ? Undoubtedly there ’ s more coverup behind the scenes . Michèle Monda , Laguna Beach
The opposition to the school board ’ s proposal to reconfigure the high school ’ s aquatic center , tennis courts , administrative building and parking started in a state of confusion . The first board meeting was poorly attended and disorganized because of a lack of communication . However , the opposition has now started to take shape . With great enthusiasm and energy , concerned residents have gotten together and shared their disappointment with this proposal . Articles have been written to frame the discussion . But at the center is Steve Brown ’ s letter ( Laguna Beach Independent , April 14 edition ). His brilliant , well-researched letter clearly describes the issue and presents a solution that both sides should be happy with . Like any issue of such magnitude , no one will
