BUILDING AND SAFETY BAMBOOZLE THE PUBLIC OVER SHADY METHANE GAS MITIGATION POLICY

IT NEVER F-ING ENDS WITH THE CITY OF LOS ANGELES AND THEIR CONTINUAL ATTEMPT TO STONE WALL THE PUBLIC WHEN IT COMES TO NOTIFICATION AND PUBLIC INPUT ON ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUSES.

Maybe because EIRs can be the "Achillie's Heel" on many of their hairbrained, ill-concieved, threat-to-public saftey projects that they try and steamroll past the pueblos.

SORRY, BUT...YOU LOSE CARL MILLER ON THIS ONE: SO Y'ALL BETTER STEP UP AND RECTIFY THE SITUATION BEFORE YOU HAVE THE BIGGEST HAZARDOUS AND LEGAL MESS THE CITY HAS EVER SEEN.

Dear Mayor Antonio Viagraosa,

It has come to my attention there is reason to be concerned that there is fraud going on regarding the City's Methane Gas Mitigation systems; and Building and Saftey appears to be bamboozling the public regarding the entire three-year process.

Back in 2004, the City created a "Task Force" regarding methane gas mitigation, as a result of Playa Vista development plans. But, the mitigation measures was a CITYWIDE code, so I'm dragging Villagrossa into it, with me and Bill Rosendahl (who is the Playa Vista CM).

So yesterday was the first meeting since the 2004 kickoff (it's mid-2007), and ZD's cell phone rang this morning from a constituent who has been following this process, and they weren't too happy after attending yesterday's public meeting. Here's why:

Bascially, the City had to come up with a methane mitigation code and methane mitigation system. The people (NC, Homeowner's Associationss, public input) were suposed to be part of the entire planning process from the start.

Well, as in many cases regarding Los "Chinatown" Angeles -- Building and Saftey took it upon themselves to come up with the enitre system WITHOUT public input, then finally presented a report to the community last night. (The public was given an opportunity to comment on the plan...on little "tweaks" here and there.)

ONLY ONE PROBLEM, Y'ALL...THE PUBLIC WAS SUPPOSED TO WEIGH IN AND BE A PART OF THE ENTIRE PROCESS...NOT JUST COMMENT ON A BUNCH OF DIVERSIONARY, BULLSH*T -- AFTER THE FACT!!!

SO NOW Y'ALL PISSED OFF THE WRONG PERSON...CAUSE THEY TRACKED DOWN ZD'S CELL PHONE NUMBER, AND TALKED MY EAR OFF ABOUT THE BIGGER ISSUE:

ZD has been told, "there is fraud going on here." Inspector General Zuma Dogg would like to see the PROOF that these "methane mitigation systems" have been implimented. AND I HOPE NOT (even though they are supposed to be installed) -- BECAUSE IG ZD WOULD LIKE TO SEE SOME PROOF (FIRST) THAT THESE SYSTEMS ACTUALLY WORK, IN THE FIRST PLACE.

I am told that will be a VERY long wait for THAT proof, cause it doesn't exist. So if proof DOES exist that these mitigation systems work and that the mitigation measures have been put in place -- please email it to zumadogg@Gmail.com. (ZD says proof that they DON'T work will be WAY MORE EASIER TO FIND.)

Now, to get real with it dough, not only is it hard for ZD to find proof that anything has been done at all...someone emailed ZD saying they have proof that things are being done to the CONTRARY!

They have a bunch of un-qualified people who are came up with shallow, cheap, easy
measures with no type of proof any of this will work, who have turned this project into an entire cottage industry.

Building and Safety obviously is trying to DODGE and COVER-UP -- then use the tactic of "non-communication" to stonewall. (It's like sending a message in a bottle into a big black hole.)

WELL F*CK THAT NOISE!!! AND ONCE AGAIN...Y'ALL PISSED OFF THE WRONG ACTIVIST, AFTER TOO LONG A FIGHT...AND NOW THEY CALLED THEIR FRIEND AND TRACKED DOWN BIG ZD'S CELL PHONE AND TALKED MY EAR OFF...AND IT HIT BIG ON THE BAT-RADAR. WAAAAAAY MORE TO COME.

VILLAGROSSA, BUILDING AND SAFETY, BILL ROSENDAHL, LOS AMSETERDAM CITY COUNCIL -- RE-START THE WHOLE PROCESS NOW...SAVE YOURSELF THE TIME AND MONEY OF DOING IT ANYWAY AT THE DEMAND OF A JUDGE -- AND DON'T PUT THE CITY AT RISK. Cause all this does is remind everyone about the Staple's Center. Don't trun this into another HUGE City embarassment...FIX IT NOW! (It's already been put "on the record" at today's council meeting.)
