TAO<br />

For those seeking<br />

ʻEnlightenmentʼ<br />

Anza tennis courts still need funds<br />

Tulvio Durand, recently<br />

appointed secretary for the<br />

Anza Valley Municipal Advisory<br />

Committee (AVMAC) reported<br />

that Verne Lauritzen, chief of<br />

staff for 3rd District Supervisor<br />

Jeff Stone confirmed a Community<br />

Development Block<br />

Grant (CDBG) for $100,000<br />

dollars in order to construct<br />

tennis courts at Anza Valley’s<br />

Hamilton High School at 57430<br />

Mitchell Road.<br />

The problem, according to<br />

Durand, is that the application<br />

request was for $200,000<br />

dollars, and receiving only<br />

part of the request topples a<br />

chain of dominoes reaching to<br />

Hemet Unified School District<br />

(HUSD).<br />

The conditions of the application,<br />

which Durand, who<br />

taught for a year at Hamilton<br />

before retiring, prepared, called<br />

for HUSD to provide funding<br />

in the amount of $250,000 dollars<br />

“contingent upon obtaining<br />

the CDBG in the full amount<br />

requested of $200,000.”<br />

The likelihood of construction<br />

anytime soon is additionally<br />

complicated by the<br />

fact that Measure C, a School<br />

Improvement Bond for HUSD<br />

on the June 6 primary election<br />

ballot failed to pass. It had no<br />

significant opposition within<br />

the voting community.<br />

The measure would have<br />

provided $149 million dollars<br />

in bonds to relieve student<br />

overcrowding by building new<br />

schools, making repairs and improvements<br />

to existing schools<br />

throughout the District, and<br />

making the District eligible<br />

for State matching funds. As<br />

required by Proposition 39,<br />

passed by California voters on<br />

November 7, 2000, measures<br />

authorizing general obligation<br />

bonds must be passed by 55<br />

percent of voters in order to<br />

succeed. Measure C failed by a<br />

52.88 percent to 47.12 percent<br />

margin, missing passage by a<br />

little over 2 percentage points,<br />

even though carefully worded<br />

to include bond issuance at the<br />

lowest possible rates, annual<br />

review by a citizens oversight<br />

committee, that no bond funds<br />

be used for administrative salaries,<br />

and that all funds would<br />

be spent locally and could not<br />

be transferred to the state.<br />

Durand said that Richard<br />

Beck, Assistant Superintendent<br />

of HUSD indicated with Measure<br />

C’s failure Hemet Unified<br />

would not be able to come<br />

up with its $250,000 for this<br />

project. Despite the CBDG application<br />

provisions or the possibility<br />

of the Anza community<br />

shortfall, HUSD would not<br />

have its share of the funds.<br />

Durand reported that Beck<br />

(who was not available for comment)<br />

thought it likely Measure<br />

C or a variant would be placed<br />

on the November 2006 General<br />

Election ballot and would likely<br />

pass if a larger General Election<br />

turnout occurs.<br />
