    Re: Keep Fort Ord Wild v. County of Monterey, FORA (case no. M114961)

    Chair Rubio and members of the FORA Board of Directors:

    On January 11, 2017, the Superior Court released its Intended Decisionresolving the CEQA case in favor of Keep Fort Ord Wild. We understand that you havescheduled a closed session for this Thursday to discuss the decision.

    As the prevailing party and "private attorney general," Keep Fort Ord Wild isentitled to seek recovery of its attorney fees. We intend to make an attorney fee motionfor our fees to date. Once the Court's fee award is entered, the fee award startsaccruing interest at the statutory rate until paid.

    What Happens After the Fee Award.

    If FORA appeals, the appeal would be filed with the appellate court in San Jose.FORA would pay for the services of its own counsel in compiling the record includingthe transcript of the more than six hours of argument in the trial court, researching anddrafting an opening brief, responding to KFOW's brief in a reply brief, and any otherbriefing requested by the Court of Appeal, along with various other tasks. Most likely,FORA also would have to pay KFOW's attorney fees on appeal, with interest at thestatutory rate on the entire amount of KFOW's work.

    Appeals typically take about 650 to 900 days to complete. During that time,FORA will be paying FORA's counsel. FORA has no right to reimbursement fromKFOW. At best, FORA will pay for its legal work for the next two years. At worst,FORA will pay its lawyers, KFOW's lawyers, interest on the fee award to KFOW, andreimbursement of KFOW's costs. An appeal by either or both FORA and the Countywould risk hundreds of thousands of taxpayer dollars and member jurisdiction dollars.

    Who Usually Wins an Appeal.

    The best available predictor of the risk on appeal comes from an analysis ofother appeals decided by the same Court of Appeal. That data shows that the mostlikely result is an appellate decision that affirms the trial court decision. Only 16% to18% of appeals result in reversals (whole or partial) of the trial court decision. 80% of

  • Ralph Rubio, Chair,Fort Ord Reuse Authority Board of DirectorsJanuary 25, 2017Page 2

    appeals result in affirmation of the trial court decision. Another 4% are dismissed. Weattach to this letter the 2016 summary of appellate courts for your consideration.

    FORA is unlikely to prevail on appeal. The Superior Court's decision is based onsolid legal grounds and accurate and detailed analysis. It is stronger than most trialcourt opinions, and it resolves key facts that point directly to the decision made by theSuperior Court. There is little chance that an appeal in this case will succeed.

    In your review of this matter, we strongly urge you to consider the quality anddepth of the Superior Court's decision. It is well reasoned and thorough, and isconsistent with binding Supreme Court authority. We remind you of these facts, thesecosts, and these risks.

    Thank you for your time and consideration of this matter.

    Very truly yours,

    Re: Brown Act Violations

    Dear Chair O'Connell and Members of the Fort Ord Reuse Authority Board of Directors:

    FORA seems to have a problem complying with the Brown Act. We and KeepFort Ord Wild need clearer agendas, so we know what is being discussed by FORAcommittees. The Brown Act sets minimum standards which agencies can exceed in thepublic interest. FORA is not meeting the minimum standards. Here are examples ofrecent problems:

    FORA often fails to state for closed session items the specific authorizingparagraph of Government Code section 54956.9, subdivision (d), thatauthorizes the closed session. That is required information. FORA oftenfails to stating with specificity the information required to be statedpursuant to subdivisions (e)(2) and (e)(3) of the section. For example, thedraft agenda for the January 2017 FORA Board meeting lists closedsession item 2.c as "Potential Litigation" with no further information.

    The FORA Executive Committee meeting agenda for January 4, 2017describes item 4.a as a "Closed Session" without any detail or citation tosection 54956.9 or compliance with several material terms of that section.

    Absent special circumstances, the Brown Act requires FORA to use ashort description of less than 20 words to provide essential informationabout the item to members of the public. (Gov. Code, sec. 54954.2.)FORA, like all legislative bodies, is free to provide a more detaileddescription and should do so. However, the January 4 AdministrativeCommittee agenda contains this item:

    7. BUSINESS ITEMS

    a. Capital Improvement ProgramI. Development Forecasts Requestii. Caretaker Costs Reimbursement Policy

    That description is not adequate. No proposed action is described, ifFORA intends to take any action. The agenda report is dated November2016; that report was already considered by the Committee at its

  • ChairO'Connell and Members of the Fort Ord Reuse Authority Board of DirectorsJanuary 4, 2017Page 2

    November 2016 meeting. There is no report for January 4, 2017. Theoutdated report does not mention "Caretaker Costs Reimbursementpolicy."

    FORA repeatedly states on agendas a recurring item described solely as"items from members." It is not clear to anyone what is meant by thatvague description and whether any items will be discussed or action willbe taken, if FORA intends to take any action.

    FORA's meeting minutes also have problems. For example, the minutes for theitem at the December 2016 Board meeting, "Consistency Determination: Del Rey OaksMonument RV Resort 2nd Vote" state "There were no comments from the Board or thepublic." That is not accurate. Our office submitted a comment letter to the FORABoard prior to the meeting. As written, the minutes are potentially misleading. If theintent is to reflect oral comments only, the minutes should so state.

    KFOW asks FORA to take immediate action to correct the numerous violations.If you want to meet, KFOW is willing to meet with you. We ask that you include yourattorney in addressing these notification standards. Thank you.

    Very truly yours,
