This is an urgent matter that has not been addressed concerning deception, concealment, funds misuse and fraud. The Brown Act violations and transparency violations are ongoing – and no matter how many warnings have been given!
This rises to criminal misdemeanor that must be prosecuted by our DA because it is a crime agsinst the public. I cannot do this as a private citizen – damages are widespread agaist the public at large. The Sheriff referred this to be prosecuted.
Please provide explanation for why this concealment and ongoing financial crimes at our harbor district was closed without any investigation.
I have a literal stack of evidence of purposeful, repeated transparency violations by harbor board commissioners and staff. Evidence from the grand jury report, from cases at DN Superior Court and from a standing commissioner. As well.as recordings held by CCHD, of their meetings, during which multiple tax payers have complained about not receiving records, answers for ongoing lack of services, projects paid for but not provided to the public etc.
I was never contacted by anyone until Undersheriff Perry called on 5/21/26 @915am to inform me that the assigned DA investigator named AC Field, closed the case. Perry did not know he closed it without even contacting the complaintant first.
I initially attempted to complain and provide evidence directly to the DA office in person but was told by staff at the front window that they only receive complaints referred to them by law enforcement. I alerted Sheriff Scott at some point to get directed on how I could get an appointment in order to provide the evidence and discuss the complaint (involving ongoing financial impropriety and concealment of public records and lies to the public and points to grant fraud and tax money waste and abuse).
Sheriff Scott replied on 4/28/2026 – see screenshot of full reply,
…” I confirmed that the DA’s Office is handling the
brown act investigation just so you you know. The person you spoke to originally simply did not knw that the DA’s Office investigates brown act violations”…
Staff failure and ignorance is not a reason to not pursue an actual investigation to determine if there is enough evidence to prosecute!
Sheriff Scott did tell me he delegated U.S.Perry to follow-up with them.
Two days ago I did not receive anyway to follow-up on the lack of investigation, Perry only said he would reach out to the DA to try to get answers. Knowing how long this has been going on – my complaint started shortly after I gave the harbor the attached cease and desist letter 3/23/26 – and the fact that there is current criminal concealment activity, I found the phone number of our DA contractor paid to investigate this – AC Field – and spoke with him this morning.
He refused to give me anything in writing to explain why he did zero investigation and he insisted he was not being paid right now by the county so he did not have to answer even.basic questions. He did confirm that he was assigned the complaint and that he closed it without investigating it.
I had to forcefully demand that he direct me to who I could follow-up with on this criminal complaint since he was refusing to schedule a phone call to provide explanation during business hours. He finally gave me the email for DA Micks, so I am sending this email to her and including Fields in order to get appropriate action to stop further theft of public funds.
I am also including Sheriff Scott, U.S. Perry, Captain Currie, and Supervisor Wilson and Borges. The misconduct and dishonesty at our harbor district is well known. The public has tried many administrative avenues to stop this but nothing has worked. Even the oversight board LAFCo has not sent a letter of direction or any attempt to address the dysfunction. Public outcry is continually ignored!
I have compiled evidence, filed a crime report and I deserve to at least be allowed to present the evidence so that this ongoing fraud can finally stop and we can correct course at our essential harbor district.
Please advise as soon as possible. The harbor board meets this Wed at 2pm and harbormaster Rademaker performance will be reviewed and he has been deeply involved in these crimes.
Also, county counsel Roberts has experience with Rademaker refusal to provide records and response to her pertaining to the USDA loan in default, the lack of insurance, the questions over bond requirements and the harbor attempts to get TOT funds through dishonest claims im writing to MARAD & USDA – so I am cc her as well.
Because she has two current lawsuits against CCHD, I am including Linda Sutter in this email. Her case at DN superior has trial set for 6/22/26 CV25-1022 and it is because of refusal to provide records in their original format or at all.
Thank you for taking this seriously. This is criminal and calls for jail time and $1,000 fines to all guilty parties. Our community deserves better and we cannot let this continue.
