Councilman Huizar/ Ana Cubas, El Sereno is awaiting your response to Public Records Request

Why does CD 14 City Councilman Jose Huizar continue to stonewall on making public expenditures related to almost $1.3 Millions Dollars of the CLARTS Fund transfer to his Salary Account?
Add $200,000 to the $1.045 Million Dollars of the CLARTS Fund transfer to CD 14 City Councilman Jose Huizar's Salary Account.
** Memo to CD 14 Chief of Staff Ana Cubas, a hard copy of this Public Records Request posted below, was given to your El Sereno Office Field Director Arturo Gonzalez at the February 1, 2012 Meeting of the LA-32 Neighborhood Council. We hope that Gonzalez will have the requested documents this Wednesday when the LA-32 NC meets for the month of March. We should note that since El Sereno help beat challenger Rudy Martinez last spring, it has seen Councilman Huizar cancelled annual events such as the "Sleepy Coliss Halloween Event", "Annual Turkey Giveaway" and the famous "El Sereno Winter Wonderland". Further, critical fire equipment such as RA 816 and Engine 47 have been pulled from service. In addition, community members have been kept in the dark about major traffic projects such as the Soto Street bridges and Huntington Drive widening. Now as back in 2010, constituents rights to public documents are being violated by your tardiness in responding to the request below. If no documents are made public Wednesday, then expect a community-wide response---Scott Johnson                                                              

To: Ana Cubas, Chief of Staff, Councilman Jose Huizar
Date: January 31, 2012
From: Scott Johnson, LA 32 Stakeholder
Re: California Public Records Request on the status of the CD 14 CLARTS Fund

Chief of Staff Ana Cubas,

This is a request under the rights accorded me under the California Public Records Act for updated information on all expenditures and transfer of funds from the CD 14 CLARTS Amenities Fund from October 1, 2010 to the present.

Please note that this Public Records Request includes all expenditures made from funds transfer to the CD 14 Salary Account from the CLARTS Fund, as noted in past CAO mid-year budget reports.
Feel free to respond to this request within the time standards as noted in the California Public Records Act.

Respectfully,

Your thoughts ..............
Scott Johnson in CD 14

Another great story of the dirty dealing of the Spring Street Gang - the LA Times broke the story that City Attorney Carmen Trutanich paid for views of his YouTube DA campaign video, and then lied about having "725,000 grassroots supporters" who had watched the video. Call it YouTubeGate?

We need to review the ordinance/regulations/by laws, about the use of the CLART funds. Scot, why is Wendy Gruel not responding to the request of auditing the CLART fund, I have requested the audit since 2008, every year, it started with the former controler Laura C. Why is the CLARTS FUND BEING USED FOR SALARIES FOR THE COUNCILMAN OFFICE. This fund is to help the poor community of BH and others to fix sidewalks, streets, schools, for the benefit of the communities, and it should not be paying Ana Cubas salary, she is not a benefit for our communities.
