Fleming and Trustees knew or should have known Mello-Roos taxes were used for new admin building

Barbara Casserly, The Capistrano Dispatch “I had requested an accounting of 87-1 Mello Roos funds in April 2004 via a legally binding California Public Record request which resulted in 29 four inch volumes being provided to search for answers. That led to a meeting in June 2004 with Dave Doomey, Assistant Superintendent where answers were still not provided. On Sept 21, 2006 Sherry Hahn CUSD CFO said she had been instructed by Mr. McCully to provide the requested information. Two and one half years after I first asked a question I learned that $20 million dollars from the 87-1 fund had always been allocated to a new administration building. The Trustees all knew, or should have known that a portion of Mission Viejo/Aliso Viejo 87-1 Mello Roos was designated in 1990 to pay for a district office building. In 2004 the Fleming Administration was unwilling to admit that to the public.”
