Good luck convincing all those that don't realize it.

the English language... and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a
loyalty to the American people."

So, I might have found a smoking gun......

Not gonna lie, it was good to see over 190 people at one time reading the topic.  Over 1500 reached via Facebook off the smoking gun post.....   My guess is we get to have more fun in the near future? 

Much more digging to do.

I figure random police stops, code violation issues, and water service disconnects are in my future.   :nw

your probably right on harassment! i hope not but probably. the big question is....do you think the money has already been spent and everyone is just now seeing the fabricated paper trail? it sounds that way to me.


 that is why i asked the above

I requested the emails in support of the 25k spent.  Doubt I will get them.  I suspect I get to twaddle off to the court house for a more formal approach.  Or, maybe some good State agency can help me?   The local Tea Party and Libertarian folks have taken some interest in the issue.  I suspect the upcoming railroad planning meetings will be a bit more interesting now....

Keep after it . If you get lucky you might even get a movement going to stop the thing. We weren't so lucky. The powers just ignored everyone and foolishly spent the money.

Just a quick update.   Lets just  say i am starting to make some noise? The local mayor, etc are starting to discredit me in the media, etc - must be getting close to the truth? 

Almost fun...  From our 260 site:

* * * *

Busy week. Two presentations by Mr. Chambless.  Working on a "jargon translator."   My take away?  They are willing to say whatever it takes to gain support.  Mr. Chambless indicated the prep school is now K-12, because everybody wants to send a kindergartner to "prep school." 

As an example, Mr. Chambless uses the phrase "Private bond placement" a lot.  A quick thought on “Private Capital” or "Private Bond Placement."  The issue is not the “placement.”  The issue is the guarantor.  All bonds are “placed privately” via underwriters, syndicates, etc.   The issue to zero in on is who is the guarantor?  I.e. – who is on the hook?  Not just first debtor, but second and third?  These guys are great with semantics.  Me, not so much.  ;)

It was great to see the Roundup give some voice to the dissent.  A good review of <a href="http://www.paysonroundup.com/business/prep-school-questions-fly-at-chamber-luncheon/article_8450e7de-3ce6-597f-8bb6-2e77d2203973.html?utm_medium=social&amp;utm_source=email&amp;utm_campaign=user-share">the Chamber Lunch was reported. </a>

A snip from the Roundup




Subsequent to that article, KMOG has been in contact with us.  Currently, it appears we are "conjecture."  KMOG is requesting we wait for "facts."  Their station, their rules.  They have requested additional information via email.  Here is a snip. 




So, that got me to thinking. This is a really long read.  Time to circle back and list all the potential issues in one place. Here is our  email to KMOG, and a quick reference / recap of where we are at:

* * * *   

Hi KMOG,

There are a couple of elements that are not quite right. All of this you can find on our site, but I warn you, it is a long read.  So, I will give you some highlights.   All with appropriate reference / foot notes.  I encourage people to read it all, and make their own decision.  I would encourage the same for you. 

The full thread is here: http://www.260chat.com/town-government/hockey-in-payson/

THE START
The plan is 600 elite prep hockey students and new rec center at no cost to the town. 

THE PLAYERS
CCP is owned by Lee Polozaja, various dealings including the defunct ammo plant.  Formed in July 2017.
http://www.260chat.com/town-government/hockey-in-payson/
http://www.260chat.com/town-government/hockey-in-payson/msg2507/#msg2507

Varxity was crowd funded in 2014, has no assets I can find and no history of actually being more than a concept.  They also have no current legal standing in Arizona that I can find.  The sole employee is a school principal in Edmonton.

SOME DECEIT?
After the deal was announced, CCP invoiced the city for work from June 21st to Sept 21st.  Neat trick for a company that was not in business until July.  I have requested email support of that invoice, to date none has been received.  Also requested response from CFO of town, to date none.
http://www.260chat.com/town-government/hockey-in-payson/msg2510/#msg2510

CCP has repeatedly indicated a 10 month process with Gilbert?  Gilbert is unaware of that as is AZ Ice
http://www.260chat.com/town-government/hockey-in-payson/msg2332/#msg2332

MONEY
This deal, as most, revolves around financing.  So, it is important to have a basic understanding of a revenue bond.  That is a bond guaranteed via future revenue of a district.  Think Pine Strawberry water and their recent $8m.  Cool, straight up bond.  A general obligation bond requires a vote.  A revenue bond does not.  There is a hi-bred that requires no town vote.  Only approval by the council like a revenue bond.  CCP is on record as saying no vote. 

A Combination Bond is a municipal bond with the coupon and principal guaranteed both by the general revenue of the municipality issuing the bond and by the revenue of the project the bond finances. If the revenue from the project is less than expected and is not enough to make payments, the municipality will make them instead. This appears to be a “General Bond” work around.  There is no apparent requirement for a General Election vote for issuance of a “Revenue Bond” with a backstop of general revenue. 

The verbiage has transformed in the process, today's Roundup calls it a “Revenue Bond.” 

http://www.260chat.com/town-government/hockey-in-payson/msg2382/#msg2382
http://www.260chat.com/town-government/hockey-in-payson/msg2383/#msg2383

THE CONTRACT WITH VARXITY / CCP / PAYSON
In a nut shell, the contract ignores the Town’s procurement policy.  There is nothing that allows a $250k contract on a “tri party” basis.  There are lots of other issues with it.  Like what?  Dubious jurisdiction, significant concessions to Varxity on a no bid basis to include a concessionaire agreement, etc. 
http://www.260chat.com/town-government/hockey-in-payson/msg2652/#msg2652

Pay close attention to Exhibit “E” to see what the Town gave up
http://www.260chat.com/town-government/hockey-in-payson/msg2386/#msg2386

IS VARXITY VIABLE?
In a word – NO.  Not at the level they discuss.  There are various “Elite Prep Hockey Schools” in Canada.  Most are under 100 students, 35 to 50k in tuition.  None, not a one I can find, at 600 students.  Most have a ten year ramp up to the 80 student level.  That is important because it changes the stated revenue of $30m to $3.5m  (600 *50k vs 80*35k)

http://www.260chat.com/town-government/hockey-in-payson/msg2580/#msg2580
http://www.260chat.com/town-government/hockey-in-payson/msg2626/#msg2626
http://www.260chat.com/town-government/hockey-in-payson/msg2790/#msg2790

THE COST
The closest like scale project I can find, excluding pool, was $27m C.  That works out to $21.5m US, pool, etc., we are looking at $30m.
http://www.260chat.com/town-government/hockey-in-payson/msg2790/#msg2790

THE 26 ACRES
Currently in foreclosure, not escrow.  Does not preclude deal with Varxity, but cannot find any document that shows that. 
http://www.260chat.com/town-government/hockey-in-payson/msg2371/#msg2371
http://www.260chat.com/town-government/hockey-in-payson/msg2768/#msg2768

CURRENTLY
I currently have three open requests to the town for documents, and one open email.  I don’t suspect they will be forthcoming.  I may be surprised.  But yes, I am a pain.  Sometimes it is just best to ignore that pain?
http://www.260chat.com/town-government/hockey-in-payson/msg2563/#msg2563

AGAIN,
All of this can be found on the site, the whole thread is a long read, well documented, etc.  No sign in is required.  All out in the open.   After you read it all, you decide if there is more to this? As with anybody, draw your own conclusions. 

Thank you, 

* * * * 

We will periodically update the list?  Avoid the long read, just get to the highlights? 

Thanks for reading.

Quick update for the wack-a-doodle of my world. 

We started a committee to circulate two initiatives to prevent this crap.  Drafted text, all of that.  Likely will have to seek an injunction to prevent town action until the ballot measure is resolved.  Meeting with Dems, Libs, Repubs, T Party, NRA, Tree Huggers, Senior Groups, Friends of Library, Pot Heads, any group that we can go to as we are going for the "Transparency" aspect and there is no moral objection to "Transparency."  My schedule is pretty full and there are multiple folks scheduling my time. 

In the meantime I am public enemy number one in various circles.  Some folks like me, others just wish I would go away.  A lot like dating, only different.

Seriously, this gets more and more wackadoodle.   I shoulda maybe kept my mouth shut.  :nw



So the town does not like me.  Local radio is suggesting I am plotting to usurp the Mayor and overthrow the town.  I am what you would call a "Free Radical."   Yesterday Town Legal had a letter hand delivered via the Constable.  Always a good time when guys with guns pay you an official visit ordered by the court.  They were pleasant enough. 

On the bright side, we have the attention of Judicial Watch and Congressman Gosar is lending a hand.  He can be a polarizing guy at the National Level.  Pretty well a staright shooter, no BS sort of guy.     So, we have the support of the Feds.  Expecting a letter from the USDA / Forest Service soon enough.  Nope, not mid level.  Dickwhacker; level.  The Town may just take me seriously at that point? 

We have 1150 signatures of a required 1400 to place the deal on a ballot.     



I am a hero or a villain, depends on which side you are on.    Go go me.   LMAO



One hour meeting with Gosar and two of the seven Town Council Members.

WTH????????

Here is my take. 


Quote
Mr. Figueroa was kind enough to respond to my letter.  It did not result in any additional records but Mr. Figueroa was kind enough to provide a definition of "duplicitous" both in the content of the letter and the "exhibits" provided.  "Exhibit E"  contains a print out of the definition from Google as well as a definition from Merriam Webster.  So we are all on the same page here you go:

Quote

    Definition of duplicitous
    : marked by duplicity : deceptive in words or action

        duplicitous tactics

    — duplicitously adverb


It appears that great offense was taken by the use of that word?

Elsewhere? Well, a very nice touch was to have the package delivered by the Constable's office. They were very pleasant gentlemen.  But, sending court officers with guns to deliver a letter seems somehow over the top?  Maybe it was to intimidate?  I don't know; we spoke of Jeeps, etc.  Really now, how intimidating is a Jeep?

Now, in the Town's defense, they did send a certified letter. I saw the notice just before the Constable called.  I am often times out of town, so did not see the notice in the mail box right away.  I picked up the letter the next day.

Mr. Figueroa was kind enough to admonish me regarding quorum and possible violation of open meeting laws.  Mr. Figueroa also discusses "TRANSPARENCY."  He notes that "You and your organization take pride on the notion of TRANSPARENCY.  Town Clerk Silvia Smith expects and deserves the same treatment via the notion of TRANSPARENCY."

Parenthetically I note the letter was on 260Chat letter head, nothing to do with Transparent Payson.  Details man. Details. 

I wonder if the County or the Courts know that the constables are running errands? 

The part on 260 vs. Transparent Payson is "Transparent Payson" is a 527 committee.  We have limited purview to advocate much more than the initiatives. 

Here is the full read:
