Yucca Valley, Ca.- At last Tuesday’s Council meeting, Town Manager, Mark Nuaimi, charmed the Councilmen to accept his razzle-dazzle financing presentation of the Senior Housing Project.  The stench was pretty thick as he tossed around many assumptions in a dizzy presentation to convince them to commit more money to the project.

For the overkill, “The Nuaimi” added additional slides to his power point presentation that WERE NOT in the agenda for prior review. Was he selling snake oil too? How about throwing in the kitchen sink?

Thank goodness Councilman Huntington and Councilman Abel were well versed on the subject because they were the only ones asking questions.

“Lazy Lombardo,” (the remaining councilman that fails to read and comprehend the agendas), did not ask any questions.  However, in the style of the other ex-councilman Hagerman, who did not read his agendas either, appointed Councilman “Lazy Lombardo,” made a lame remark at the end of the discussion to support “The Nuaimi’s” creative financing of the Senior Housing project.

YV Councilman Rowe, AKA, Mayor Rowe is completely mesmerized with “The Nuaimi,” as he has taken her under his wing in the style of Ex-Mayor Kelly Chastain. While one would think the addition of the “women’s touch” would be an asset to any council, it has fallen to the wayside as the stench of arrogance has rubbed off from “The Nuaimi.”  Not a pretty sight and could poison any future political career.

Will someone email me the YouTube of ex-Colton’s Mayor Kelly Chastain rant from the dais displaying her newly acquired “eau-du-arrogance?” Her political career cut short as the side kick of then Colton’s Assistant Town Manager, Mark Nuaimi, was grooming her.  Having narrowly surviving a recall, Chastain could not get re-elected even when there was mysterious outside developer monies poured into her campaign account.  The jig was up and “The Nuaimi” was on his way out of Colton having lost “his Mayor.”

Now in Yucca Valley, “The Nuaimi” has pulled out all the stops to make sure his Fontana buddies at C.O.R.E. housing could keep this deal alive.

Committing the Super WalMart Impact Fees.

1. As the Cocky Rooster crows because he thinks he made the Sun come up, “The Nuaimi” touted $300,000 impact fees from the Super WalMart would offset some of the big bucks he wanted the YV Council to commit.  However, those impact fees were supposed to go to improvements at the AM/PM Super Sonic location for concrete medians and light signal to assure the safety of the citizens at that location.  That intersection is an accident waiting to happen. A recent letter to the Editor complained about cars traveling west and crossing the painted double lines to pull into AM/PM drive way on Hwy 62.  If there had been the concrete median in place, as per the stipulation of the YV Planning Commission before issuing the Certificate of Occupancy, this could not happen.  “The Nuaimi” was certain to personally override this safety requirement and bonding to expose our Town to potential litigation.

Other Senior Housing BS:

2. Calling the HOME funds “a grant secured by National Community Renaissance” (aka: C.O.R.E.), it is in fact…..A LOAN from San Bernardino County in the amount of $1,622,830.  “The Nuaimi” also stated it is “possible” to lose those funds because there were only provided for this year’s attempts to secure other funds.  I would think “The Nuaimi” would find out if that “LOAN” could be extended for the next year’s round of funding that will take place in March 2013 and July 2013.

3. The YV Council approved a 72 page document March 2012, Financing & Disposition & Development Agreement that was sloppy, filled with typos, inaccurate dollar amounts stipulating CORE was responsible to repay a debt and then half way through the document, stipulating “The Developer” to repay the debt.  At the end of this document, the names were finally revealed on the signature page! YV Senior Housing Partners L.P. (offices in Rancho Cucamonga-Richard J. Whittingham, CFO) became “The Developer” and C.O.R.E. was “The Related Entity.” What a mess!

4. Not to worry! “The Nuaimi” has concocted a 62 page “First Amendment” to the 72 page document that I described above.  This will be approved by the YV Town Council at the upcoming Tuesday meeting on July 17^th.  The C.O.R.E. buddies will be in the audience to sign the paperwork and probably laugh….all the way to the bank!

At this same Special Meeting, “The Nuaimi” will be pitching his outreach results that are questionably skirting the gray area in order to pull off his 1% Sales Tax increase for this November ballot.  That’s another story.

VOTE NO ON THE YUCCA VALLEY TOWN 1% SALES TAX!
