Apple Tree Pruning/Grafting Workshop

The Sergeant All Set To Retire

by Maris Brancheau

Fire Board To Continue Meeting On April 3 - 6pm

Spring Sports Schedules

by Michael Hart

The JCFPD board of directors, having suspended it’s meeting on March 13 and scheduled its’ continuation for Tuesday evening April 3 at 6pm. The reasons are to complete the items left on the agenda and allow anyone unable to attend the regular board meeting to voice their feelings on the proposed Terms and Conditions presented by the County Fire Authority for moving forward with the process which would eventually dissolve the district. Another item that will be addressed is the make-up of district’s budget committee. It is not expected at this time that the board will make the final decision on dissolution but only to move on with the process. The County and the district have yet to meet with representatives from LAFCO and work out the steps and a time-line to follow for the County Fire Authority to absorb the JCFPD. Opponents of the Fire Authority take-over have been the most vocal at the last few board meetings and continue to circulate a petition to place an initiative on the November ballot to increase the current district benefit fee from $50 to $200 - thereby hoping to maintain the districts independence and solvency.

County To Hold Tax Sale Auction

Softball

Sergeant Carlos Medina of the Julian Substation will retire March 29, 2018, after a 31-year career with the San Diego Sheriff ’s Department. Sgt. Medina has been assigned to the Julian Substation since 2013, where he supervises the mountain community deputies. Prior to his promotion to Sergeant, Medina spent nine years as a beat deputy in Borrego Springs. One of the highlights of his career was his coordination of a search warrant and bringing a High-Intensity Drug Trafficking Area team to Borrego Springs to arrest a local man who was suspected of selling methamphetamine. The arrest made frontpage news in the Borrego Sun after the suspect was arrested with 60 grams of methamphetamine in his vehicle and stolen weapons that resulted in a felony conviction and prison time. Numerous other arrests and investigations followed during Medina’s near decade of work in Borrego Springs. Sgt. Medina has a reputation as a community problem solver who takes the extra steps needed to return lost or stolen property, coordinate with other agencies, and share information with the public. Although now offline, he originated the Backcountry Cops Facebook page that eventually had more than 800 followers. In another memorable investigation, then-Deputy Medina tracked down a Borrego Springs bookkeeper and tax preparer who had sold or given fraudulent payroll checks from the Borrego Sun to an accomplice in San Diego. Through an investigation, Sgt. Medina tracked the bookkeeper to San Diego, arrested him and two other accomplices, and eventually coordinated the return of hundreds of files of sensitive financial and tax information to local residents. Prior to moving to the Rural Division and Borrego Springs in 2004, Sgt. Medina worked patrol in Poway and Encinitas. Following his promotion, he worked in Fallbrook, Lemon Grove, and Rancho San Diego before landing back in rural at his Julian post. Sgt. Medina considers his years on the rural beat to be the most rewarding of his more than three decades of law enforcement service. “It was a fulfilling assignment to work in the back country and try to make a difference,” Sgt. Medina said. As part of his experience, Sgt. Medina spent five years as the County’s Drug Recognition Expert and trained numerous officers at various agencies in DRE techniques. He is also a veteran of the U.S. Marine Corps.

How To See Actual Government Documents Get in on the action. TreasurerTax Collector Dan McAllister announced that bidder registration starts April 2 for San Diego County’s second annual online tax sale auction, featuring 1,236 properties for sale. This is the second virtual auction for the Treasurer-Tax Collector’s Office (TTC), following record breaking sales during the first online tax sale last year. “Bidders enthusiastically responded to the ease and convenience that our online auction brings,” said McAllister. “We were able to sell 648 properties for $7.8 million in 2017, topping our previous sales record of $3.5 million in 2013. The projected values of all the properties, if sold, could break another record for revenue

recovery for the County.” This year’s auction will take place from May 4 to 9. Interested buyers can register as a bidder beginning April 2, and registration will end April 26. Bidders must put up a $1,000 refundable deposit and a nonrefundable $35 processing fee before April 27. “Our online system is as easy as using eBay,” McAllister explained. “People sitting at home can browse and bid on 1,236 properties currently available, including 987 timeshares starting as low as $100.” The sale also includes 96 improved properties, which include homes or businesses, and 153 unimproved properties, which are plots of land. All sales are final, so this is a buyer

beware sale. Before April, the TTC encourages everyone to research available properties on its website. There, prospective bidders should also sign up for TTC e-notifications to receive email reminders about important deadlines. Property owners can avoid going to sale; they have until 5 p.m. on May 3 to redeem their parcel and pay all taxes and fees owned. Sixty-two of the properties up for sale have owners living in them. Over the past five years, TTC notices, calls and late bills have not been responded to. Before the sale, every effort will be made to personally contact the owners of these properties again to warn them about the impending sale.
