Dear Board Members ✓ CimmBO
OARDOFSU co SORS
,, /�'- MpA COSTA C
I am here for two reasons . First , On January 24 , 1994, Board
. of supervisor ' s meeting, I talked about the ineffgdiancy and
the unfairness in the Community Development headed by Val Alexeef.
Although I was given an opportunity for full refund of all of
the unnessesary fees that were charged to me for a subdivision,
I am not satisfied with Mr. Alexeef ' s response, because he quoted
in his letter ('please see exibit #1 and #2 ) Because of Mr. Alexeefs '
rude, arrogant and selfserving response, he did and has not in-
vestigated the matter yet , and I don ' t feel he intends to.
After I brought up the issues of questionable integrity of
Mr. Aleceef ' s staff , A warning sign was put on my existing property _
(please see exibit #3 and#4) and my storage shed was red tagged
But article 84-68 . 1404 .Title 8 of the Contra Costa County Zoning
Ordinance, States that I am allowed to have a trailer for storage
at my residence provided that the trailer is not being used for
living or sleeping purposes and that it is adequately screened . . .
(please see exibit #5 . )
On January 23 , 1995 , my newley tenant claimed P G &E would not
replace an electrcal meter without an approval of the County. On
January 24 , 1995 , I went to Sharon at the County Permit department
to see what the problem was . Eileen Doten took it upon herself
to resolve the problem. Instead of resolving it , she told me in
person and in writing (please see exibit #6 ) that my permit had
expired and that I needed to apply for all new permits and submit
all new plans again . I asked why and she said as she walked away,
that it was not her concern and that I didn ' t pay the park dedica-
tion fee therfor all permits have expired .
I am here to prove to that everything was completed and paid for
and that (please see exibit #7 , 8 &9 ) , and that someone may have
intentional or mistakenly neglected to put all information into
the computer because I paid everything and it has been recorded
by Community Development and I have been paying taxes on it for
over three years. I went as far as telling Micky Perez and Ms .
Doten on my second attempt , that I will pay the park Dedication fee
again, that they said I didn 't pay, just to restore the electrical
meter because I had a mother with two children living in my house
with no electricity. Ms . Doten said " I told you it wasn ' t my
concern" .
I went to Tom Torlakson ' s office the very next day and although
his Aide, Kathy Balladad, said she would look into it has been over
two months and I have not even received one phone call from their
office although I have called at least two times a week. I am not
quite sure what Ms . Balladad ment when she said she was not concerned
with all the issues , but I do think Mr. Torlason ' s office should be,'
I would like to know who ' s concern is it when an honest citizen
sees illegal activities in his community and brings it to the public
and the attention of the Director of the Community Development
and then gets wrongfully punished
page 2
A mother with two children has been forced to move out because
of no electricity, who ' s concern is it? If it isn ' t Eileen Doten,
the customer service manager ' s , or Val Alexeef ' s , or Tom Torlakson ' s
office? I hereby request a full investigation. Time is of
great immportance as there is no income from my property to do
improvements and repairs accumilated by vacancy.
Thank you very much for all your help.

Dear Mr. Sukhrain:
I appreciated meeting with you and hearing YOU issues. As a follow-tip to our meeting, I
have met with all the staff who spoke to YOU about y0LII- subdivision and I have the following
response to your question regarding whether a subdivision of land or a use permit was
appropriate to meet your needs:
1. A Land Use Pert-nit for it second 1.11lit could have been requested. The second unit
requirements state that only one of the units could have been used as it rental. The
second unit would have to have been Subordinate in size, appearance and location
to the principal residence.
Staff understood you would not he living In one of the houses, therefore, it
Subdivision application was a mote appropriate ciance. A subdivision also increases
the value of the property.
2. The amount of time spent on subdivision application processing is 10.1 hours, at a
cost of $5,90.2.91, far more than the $3,940.00 we have received in fees to process
your application.
3. The amount of time spent responding to the eight properties you have asked about
has been well over 200 hours.LLJ nfortU[lit LC i)', YOU have interiwined the two issues
and respective staff have not been ahle to meet often enough to sort out all the
issues suesidentified.
s o ay
4. Upon written request, I will refund your subdivision fees in full. I do so not because
I feel staff did anything wrong. In all the miscommunication that has occurred on
/F both sides, I hold my staff to a higher standard.
5. Please be advised that upon refund, you lose all rights to your subdivision. Future
application will he more expensive.

Telephone: (510) 646-1600 o FAX: (510) 646-1599
h. Should you take no action, your minor subdivision hermit will expire without refund.
7. With regard to the many complaints you have in the Bay Point neighborhood, they
will he processed in accordance with code enforcement staff workload and resources.
Is. As discussed at our meeting, the remaining issue between your permit at
195 N. Broadway and the permit at 143 Solano Avenue was the drainage fee, which
is calculated based on lot size. Your lot is larger so your drainage fee is larger.
9. 1 caution you again that there are penalties connected with secret tape recordings of
conversations.
Sincerely,
Val Alexcelf, Direc or

Dear Mr. Sukhram:
RE: 199 N. Broadway Ave. , Pittsburg
This letter confirms your request for gas and electric service for the
above location.
Preliminary service arrangements have been made for you. Your gas service
will be served at 7-inches water column pressure. Your overhead
electric service will be 120/240 volt, three wire, single phase to your
100 amp main panel .
The electric and gas meters will be located on the left side wall of the
house as you face the residence from N. Broadway Ave. Please refer to the
enclosed drawing showing the gas and electric meters at one location.
Charges, if any, will be confirmed after engineering has been completed.
I tentatively anticipate that your gas and electric service will be
installed in mid-November pending the completion of engineering, and the
return of right-of-way papers, signed agreements and money paid, if
required. This anticipated scheduling date is also subject to other
priority construction scheduled, inclement weather delays and emergency
work which could take priority over connections, should they arise.
Your permanent meter installation and connection will require a final
notification from Contra Costa County's Building Inspection Department and
a completed "Credit Application" for service.
After we receive the above, work can normally be scheduled in two weeks.
Please call Customer Services at (510) 757-2200 to make arrangements for
meter sets. —
Please refer any inquiries to me at (510) 439-2424.
Sincerely, arm'
