Fresh & Easyfaces disputeover wall sizeLess than a week after its

opening Fresh and Easy isn’thaving it so easy.The new store at the corner

of Gutierrez and MilpasStreets is the subject of anappeal to the city council overthe height of a brick wall onthe side of its parking lot.The step down brick wall

had been put in place to helpshield the parking lot from theneighboring private property.Its height had been capped atsix feet to protect the moun-tain views and the neighbor-ing buildings from noise fromtruck deliveries.But neighbor Dino Frangos

said that while the wall wouldhave been nice in principle,the wall Fresh & Easy actual-ly built is too tall and needs tohave the height reduced. Hesaid the city and the store real-ized it would end up exceed-ing the height limit set in thedesign after work began onthe wall.But rather than stop con-

struction until getting anotherpermit, he said the city

allowed Fresh & Easy to keepbuilding, violating city rules.“All of us have to go by the

rules, why do these guys getthe exception?” Frangos said.Senior planner Jaime

Limon said the original planshad called for an eight footwall, but after lobbying fromneighbors, the ArchitecturalBoard of Review lowered it tosix feet.But things got tricky during

construction. To avoid dam-aging some of the trees onneighboring property, the wallhad to be moved in 23 inches.This required changes to thelandscaping at the base of thewall.When construction on the

wall’s new location began, itappeared that the wall wouldend up exceeding the heightlimit. When the buildinginspectors looked at it, theypermitted construction to con-tinue and asked to get a permitfor the new wall.But after the wall went up,

Frangos clashed with the cityagain, arguing that the wallhad exceeded the height.At the site visit, Limon Santa Barbara City Councilman Dale Francisco measures up to a wall

at the center of controversy between the city of Santa Barbara and newMilpas Street business Fresh & Easy.

Legal jackals andjudicial servitudeFor both criminal and civil

law, the U.S. Constitutionguarantees trial by an impar-tial jury, however, the accusedor the parties in a civil suitcan waive that right. While itis an essential civil right, trialby jury can and does result ina form of involuntary servi-tude for those summoned forjury duty.Although conscription of

any kind is the antithesis offreedom, it is arguably a nec-essary evil in the provision ofimpartial justice. Necessaryor not, it is still an evil in asmuch as a summons to appearis a command by governmentauthority to interrupt yourlife, relegate personal priori-ties to secondary status,forego freedom and income,and conduct yourself to con-finement at a place and for aperiod of time that govern-ment dictates. You are eventold how you must dress dur-ing your confinement.As with all government

mandates, if you refuse tocomply with a jury summonsyou are subject to punish-ment—fined up to $1,500, oreven jailed for contempt ofcourt. Ultimately, all govern-ment power is backed bylethal force, and that is onepowerful reason why govern-ment should always be limit-ed.Conscripts to jury duty are

paid $15 per day and34 cents per mile fortravel; however, theyare not paid anythingfor the first day ofinternment. By moststandards those areslave wages and atiny fraction of whatmost people wouldbe paid for the day ofwork they are forcedto forego. And, evenif your employerpays you in full fordays missed for jury duty,someone other than the courtis paying for your forcedservice.Whenever I hear of a judge

or an attorney scolding areluctant conscript about theduty to serve, I can’t help butwryly wonder how much thatjudge or attorney is beingpaid to be in that courtroom—certainly far morethan $15 per day. Easy forthem to be preachy about civilduty, no one is forcing themto be in the courtroom.While I resent the intrusion

of jury duty, I always complywith the summons, as do myfamily members, my fellowemployees, and most every-one that I know. We all com-plain about the inconvenienceand how we are imposedupon year after year, likeclockwork, pulled out of ourdaily lives to serve the inter-

ests of justice, butwe report asinstructed.But, is it always

the interests of jus-tice that are beingserved by ourinvoluntary servi-tude?Our courts are

always swampedwith pending casesand thus demandsfor jurors. Why?Are there really so

many crimes being commit-ted? Well, yes, there arebecause there is so much thatis illegal now that almost any-one can be guilty of one thingor another. About 80 percentof the jury trials inCalifornia’s Superior Courtsare for criminal cases.Any law that criminalizes a

victimless choice like druguse or prostitution is anunjust, repressive law. Thelaw enforcement industry ismaking a fine living fromthese oppressive laws that arefilling our prisons, cloggingour courts, straining govern-ment budgets, and fosteringviolence across much of thewestern hemisphere. If I amsummoned to be a juror for acase involving the infractionof these unwarranted laws, Iwill acquit the accused nomatter what the evidence.About 20 percent of jury

trials in California’s SuperiorCourts are civil suits. Ourcountry is infested withpredatory trial lawyers alwayslooking for tort victims withwhich to gin up some claimfor damages.

These legal jackals canhaul in millions of dollarsfrom these trials. Great, but ifa tort trial involves a jury,then the parties bringing thesuit should pay for the jury,and not at $15 per diem, but at$200 per diem for each juror.Why should individuals ortheir employers pay for theenrichment of ambulancechasers and their clients?California’s Superior

Courts heard 11,047 jury tri-als in 2010. That means about155,000 people served on ajury that year, while aboutone million more were sum-moned to be on call to serve.That’s a lot of inconvenienceand personal cost for a lot offolks every year, but worth-while and necessary wheretrue justice is being served.But, where the legal and

law enforcement industry isbeing served for their ownselfish profit, it is not justice,it is iniquitous greed thatintrudes on and temporarilyenslaves the rest of us.

A jury acquitted Major League Baseball pitching great RogerClemens on Monday of all six criminal counts against him in atrial on charges that he lied to Congress when he denied using per-formance-enhancing drugs.Clemens, dressed in a beige suit, blue shirt and tie, showed lit-

tle emotion as the verdict was read, but choked up during briefcomments after he emerged from the federal courthouse inWashington."It has been a hard five years," Clemens said, as he thanked his

wife, family and teammates. "I put a lot of hard work into thatcareer. I appreciate my teammates that came in and all the emailsand phone calls from my teammates."Jurors deliberated for a total of about 10 hours before coming

to a decision. The verdict was another setback for prosecutors whoinsisted on pursuing the case even after their first effort ended in amistrial.One of the greatest pitchers in baseball history, Clemens was

charged with one count of obstruction of Congress, three counts ofmaking a false statement and two counts of perjury. He did nottake the stand in his own defense during the two-month trial.If convicted, Clemens would have faced a maximum prison

term of 30 years, though under federal sentencing guidelines hemost likely would have received 15 to 21 months.Clemens' lawyer, Rusty Hardin, mouthed "thank you" as jurors

read the verdict and then shook hands with his client.

Clemens acquitted of perjury

The economy is wreaking havoc on everyone's finances thesedays. Along with predictable living expenses, the burden of unex-pected debts such as medical or family emergencies, and home orcar repair, can prove overwhelming.For anyonewho has experienced credit issues, including a bank-

ruptcy, finding sources of cash can be challenging. A creative fi-nancing solution exists -- borrowing against the equity (value) inany car for which the driver holds the title. This is called a "titleloan", and Santa Barbara-basedACTFinance has recently launcheda division that specializes in this type of loan.In exchange for the title, ACT will give the borrower half the

vehicle's current value in cash. Customers continue driving theircars while repaying the loan. ACT title loans have no prepaymentpenalty and can be paid off at any time. It's a win-win for anyonein need of a short-term loan.For more information about title loans, call ACT Finance at

City to talk conversiontechnology at landfill

When City officials meettoday and Thursday, they willbe discussing a vast wastemanagement process thatwould extend the life of alandfill, create clean energyand reduce greenhousegasses.A new plant at the Tajiguas

landfill would be constructedto use anaerobic digestion ofmaterials to create heat andconvert that to energy, thusreclaiming wasted resources.“It’s the equivalent of tak-

ing 22,000 cars off the road,”said Matt Fore, the city’senvironmental services man-ager. “It generates a Kilowattof clean energy that wouldpower the plant leaving theremaining power to go out tothe grid and could power upto 800 homes.”The same process used at

water treatment plants tobreak down waste materialswill be involved but with amore efficient technique.There are projects using simi-lar technology already indevelopment in San Jose andRiverside County. San Jose’splant is estimated to handle400,000 tons of waste peryear. But there is a possiblerate increase for constructionprices.“It wouldn’t be much more

than two to tree dollars amonth,” Fore said.The workshops held today

and Thursday will be anopportunity to get everyoneup to speed on the details andprocess.“This project really

requires regional cooperationand we need to educate our-selves about the details so wecan make important decisionslater this summer,” MayorHelene Schneider said. “Wereally need to gauge the envi-ronmental impact this willhave.”Santa Barbara needs to

sign off on the project for it togo any further. Goleta,

Buellton and Solvang andunincorporated areas of theCounty are involved.“Officials will be looking

at what the value of this proj-ect will be going forward,”Fore said.City Council member

Cathy Murillo is open mindedto the project .“We really need to learn as

much as we can,” she said. “Iam cautious about the project.What I worry about is that weare focusing on waste at theend of the line, when weshould be concentrating onreducing trash earlier on inthe cycle.”Fore thinks there are much

more benefits to completingthis project down the line.“It will be a valuable

expenditure of funds, “ hesaid. “It would do a greaterjob of reducing our trash anddoing more with out trash torecapture our resources.”

acknowledged that because ofthe grading, parts of the wallgo above the required six feetnear each “step.” But he saidat no point does the wall evenexceed seven feet.“It averages out to six

feet,” Limon said.But Frangos argues that the

city is measuring the wallfrom the ground next to thewall, which is slightly elevat-ed due to the landscaping. Hesaid that measured from theparking lot surface, the wallscome out almost 7-and-a-halffeet.Frangos admits he hasn’t

been a big fan of the brickwall. He feels the old woodenfence left a better feel. Healso thinks brick walls are too

tempting a target for vandals.Still he’s thinks chiseling itdown would make for adecent compromise. In spiteof the current trouble, hebelieves Fresh & Easy will bea good thing for the neighbor-hood.“I want Fresh & Easy to

succeed,” Frangos said. “Anempty building doesn’t do meany good.”Ben Shearer, a regional

construction manager forFresh & Easy, said the wallfalls within the city guide-lines. He said the wall had

been built to six feet on theoriginal elevation. To keepshopping carts from rollingaway, the company evenedout the surface on the store’sside of the wall.He points out that the com-

pany made a number ofaccommodations for theneighboring property. Thecompany had agreed to movethe wall on its own to pre-serve the trees on the proper-ty.“We’re just trying to com-

ply with the city’s design andrequests,” Shearer said.

CHANNELKEEPER/GUEST OPINION

Francisco’s commentson ChannelKeeper wrongStatements made by

Councilmember DaleFrancisco at the June 12thCity Council meeting, whichwere quoted in your June 13article, “Channelkeeper law-suit forces Santa Barbara CityCouncil to raise wastewaterrates by 10 percent,” are notfactually correct, and I’d liketo set the record straight.First, Mr. Francisco stated

that improvements to theCity’s sewer system were inmotion before Santa BarbaraChannelkeeper filed a lawsuitagainst the City and that thoseimprovements were morethan sufficient to address theproblems with the City’ssewer system. He also mis-takenly stated thatChannelkeeper filed its law-suit in late 2011.Channelkeeper filed notice

of intent to sue the City forviolating the Clean Water Actin February 2011 and filed the

lawsuit in April2011. The last yearof sewage spill dataChannelkeeper hadbefore filing was2010, when the Cityhad 35 spills, or13.6 spills/100miles of sewer pipe.For comparison, themedian number ofspills statewide in2010 was 3.4/100miles. In addition tothis unacceptably high num-ber of spills aboveground, theCity’s aging sewer pipes,most of which are 50-100years old and made of vitri-fied clay, are in a state of dis-repair, allowing sewage to“exfiltrate,” or leak out under-ground and into storm drainsthat lead to our beaches.Channelkeeper was awarethat the City had acceleratedits sewer pipe cleaning effortin an attempt to bring their

high spill rate down.Unfortunately, how-ever, this did noth-ing to address exfil-tration and was onlya short-term band-aid, not the long-term comprehensivesolution that wasneeded to fix the oldand leaky sewersystem. The City’sefforts were as suchnot sufficient to pro-

tect public health and theenvironment from sewagepollution.Mr. Francisco also mistak-

enly claimed thatChannelkeeper's only com-munication with the Cityprior to filing its lawsuit waspublic records requests.Channelkeeper sought for 11years prior to filing suit toconvince the City to addresssewage spills and exfiltration,including through extensive

communication with variousCouncilmembers and Citystaff, as well as repeated testi-mony before City Council.Channelkeeper has docu-mented the long history of itsefforts at www.sbck.org.Councilmember Francisco

rued that the City had tospend $700,000 on attorneys,and on this pointChannelkeeper agrees. It wasunfortunate thatChannelkeeper had to resortto litigation to get the City toadequately address the seri-ous problems with its sewagesystem. To be clear, however,less than half of that $700,000was to reimburseChannelkeeper for its costs inbringing the suit. These costswere not only forChannelkeeper’s legal repre-sentation but also for theengineering expert

Channelkeeper had to hire tohelp develop a plan to fix theproblems with the City’ssewage system. The remain-der went to pay the outsidecounsel the City hired to rep-resent them, rather than rely-ing on the City Attorney’soffice. Channelkeeper itselfreceived no financial gain as aresult of the settlement. Finally, Mr. Francisco

wrongly asserted that theChannelkeeper Board refusedto meet with the City to dis-cuss the lawsuit. I myself,along with several otherChannelkeeper Board mem-bers, met with the Mayor andCouncilmember White in

June and August 2011, andthereafter I participated infour sessions of mediation,along with the Mayor andstaff, to find a workable solu-tion. Ultimately, we did.

Channelkeeper and the Cityagreed to a settlement whichrequires the City to improvethe operation and mainte-nance of its sewage system,reduce sewage spills, andnearly double the number ofmiles of sewer pipes it repairsand replaces, with a focus onthose that have the highestrisk of leaking and pollutingdownstream creeks andbeaches. Unfortunately this long-

overdue investment inupgrading our aging sewerinfrastructure will cost

money, which is why sewerrates were raised by 6% (not10% as your article’s title sug-gested; the other 4% was toalready planned to replaceantiquated equipment at thetreatment plant and was unre-lated to Channelkeeper’s law-suit). But it will be moneywell spent to better protectpublic health, the environ-ment, our local economy andour quality of life by directlyaddressing one of the rootcauses of pollution that toooften makes Santa Barbara’screeks and beaches unhealthyand unsafe.
