5) Locke California Dispute - LMA meeting April 14, 2015

Locke, California Board of Directors LMA (in 6 parts) April 14, 2015. Chairman Correia disallows Property Owner Esch from speaking to issues on agenda in violation of Brown Act. Listen to his answers. Lack of transparency to public. Self-elected board since 2010 in violation of Bylaws. CC&R violations. State of California laws ignored. Unconstitutional ROFR racially-restrictive covenant Right of First Refusal lawsuit by this board against Esch (the public audience member). 5 (later, 6) Directors of LMA's prescribed 13 member Board of Directors does not constitute a quorum (majority of 13). Four of the five board seats have been vacant for two+years, well-over the 4 month limit. Parenting Sacramento County Board of Supervisors has the right to re-assign LMA's vacant seats, but likely has not been informed by LMA of its vacancies. Oversight and consequences for these self-benefitting board members needed. Better yet, dissolve the LMA, and stop their Unconstitutional race-based lawsuit on Esch and its four year (so far) bleed on the Locke Home Owners' treasury fund. Illegal voting actions. Ongoing Brown Act and FPPC violations by Board. California Department of Real Estate non-compliance. Conflict of interest among 5 of the current Locke Directors who are business partners, landlord-tenants, and domestic partners with one another. Most haven't filed their required 700 forms in years, Public Record requests ignored. Public financial records of LMA are tightly shielded from public requests. Homeowners' assessments were raised an additional 20% in 2012 without required Homeowners' special hearing, and votes for the special (non-improvement) purpose of further funding LMA's (ongoing) race-based lawsuit against Esch.
Dissolve LMA and return the governance of historic Locke, California (population 80) to the County.

Driving, John Muir Historic Site, Martinez, Sacramento River, Sacramento, California, Oct 2016 12/18

Driving from John Muir National Historic Site in Martinez, through the Sacramento River Delta, to Downtown Sacramento, California, October 2016.

The route taken is not the shortest, but it is a scenic one. We used Highway 4, which took us across the Antioch Bridge(Highway 160) and into the Sacramento River Delta. Traveling along the Sacramento River, crossing multiple bridges(including the Three Mile Slough Bridge, Isleton Bridge, Walnut Grove Bridge), we eventually transitioned to Route E13, before finally merging onto Interstate I-5 for the rest of the way to downtown Sacramento.

Missing Elk Grove girl's body recovered, Courtland, CA, April 2, 2012

The body of Shabnam was found by divers Monday evening between shore and the dock in shallow water. Several divers hit the water searching the shore line in the area and worked a grid until she was discovered. Owner of the dock, Terry Mulligan and his wife, graciously hosted the Shabnam's family in their home as divers worked the area just across the road from the home. Elk Grove PIO, Chris Trim, stated that the coroner's office still has to make the official identification, but given the description and circumstances, they are confident it is Shabnam Ahmadyar.

This is an evocative memoir of a relationship between a mother and son - and the Chinese-American experience - while growing up in the housing projects of San Francisco's Chinatown in the 1960s and 70s. Gloria Steinem says One of the very few books that completely conveys a life as lived from the inside and makes us as readers feel we are living it too. - Book Passage

William Poy Lee graduated with a Bachelors of Architecture, emphasis on urban design and planning from the University of California in Berkeley and completed his juris doctor degree from Hastings College of the Law, University of California.

He has been a licensed California attorney since 1979 and has enjoyed a career as an international banking attorney with Bank of America and as an advertising co-principal serving Fortune 100 corporations.

Locke EVP Session

Locke, California

During a recent paranormal scouting expedition, Hauntology Productions and friends ventured into the mysterious town of “Locke” located in California's Sacramento–San Joaquin Delta area.

Founded in 1915 by Chinese immigrants who decided it was time to establish a town of their own. Locke is one of the only towns in the United States built exclusively by the Chinese for the Chinese and at a time when Chinese immigrants were not allowed to own land. At its peak 600 residents and as many as 1500 people occupied the town which had many businesses including a gambling hall, boarding house and brothel.

Our friend, loyal “Box Talker” and faithful scout Bill Ordway got us an “all access pass” into the most unique and hidden parts of this interesting but little known town. These are the first samples of evidence Debbie Caspers captured on her cell phone while conducting a preliminary walk through of the Dai Loy Gambling Hall, Opium Den and Brothel.

Check back soon for more evidence from this interesting and unusual town.

Environmental concerns arise from marina fire

Concerns linger about oil and gas entering the Delta from a Walnut Grove marina fire. Subscribe to KCRA on YouTube now for more:

Public Official vs. Public Member - Brown Act violation - Locke California

Filmed 15 minutes prior to the start of the public meeting that was held on September 28, 2015 of the Locke Foundation that was NOT POSTED PUBLICLY.
I turned my camera on just after I entered the public meeting room and Director, Stuart Walthall asked me if I was disappointed and was going to complain because they were going to have (in his words) an un-official meeting.
