    Smoking gun: Documents show Council requested restricted funds to meet payroll

    Finger pointing and distraction continue in San Bernardino

    (San Bernardino, Calif.)  Monday July 16th, City Councilmember Wendy McCammack said during a hearing to decide if the should file a State of Emergency and that San Bernardino was borrowing from restricted funds.  She stated that she was unaware of the “illegal transfers”.

    However in a February 7. 2009 article in the San Bernardino Sun McCammack calls for the city to transfers from restricted funds.
    In the article by Andrew Edwards headlined:  “SB police, firefighters may not be shielded from budget axe”.  She is quoted as saying:
    “McCammack said in a interview that she is not convinced sales tax revenues will be as low as projected.  She also proposed that the city borrow from other (restricted) accounts to bolster its general fund before laying off key employees.”
    “When you’re living paycheck to paycheck, sometimes you have to live off the credit card, don’t you?,” she asked.
    A March 11, 2009. Press Enterprise editorial headlined: “Fiscal Shame”.   San Bernardino City Attorney is quoted:
    “City Attorney Jim Penman said, for example that the City might be able to borrow against the $18 million reserve in a (restricted) sewer fund for up to two years interest-free.”
    Documents also show that councilmembers knew of and asked for transfers from restricted funds.
    In a February 11, 2009 request for council action, Councilmember McCammack requested a transfer of restricted funds to pay for city employee salaries.
    In a February 11, 2009 memo from the office of the city attorney, submitted by John F. Wilson, Senior Assistant City Attorney said “Nothing in the Charter of the City of San Bernardino precludes a transfer of revenues from one City fund to another.”
    There is proof positive that San Bernardino City official’s new of, requested, approved and transferred funds from restricted accounts with the full knowledge and approval of the majority of the city council and city attorney’s office.
    The present interim city manager agrees.  “I saw no indication of an order to hide information from the council,” said Andrea Travis-Miller, who was hired nearly a year ago as Assistant City Manager.
    “The city was seeing very large declines in revenue we were just trying to pay our bills,” she added.
    On July 10th the San Bernardino City Council voted to file for Chapter 9 bankruptcy protections.

    (SAN BERNARDINO, Calif.)  Giving a voice to others has always been a passion of Orlandria Brazier and by joining Dameron Communications as an intern she anticipates affecting change in the local community. As a recent graduate from California State University of San Bernardino (CSUSB) with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Public Relations, she is eager to put her degree to use.
    “Many of my peers have said that when they graduate they plan on getting a ‘regular’ job, but I wanted more than that, and that’s why I came to Dameron Communications,” said Brazier.  “I believe that working here will help polish my PR skills and at the same time allow me to bring my creativity to the table.”
    While attending CSUSB Orlandria was an active student who took interest in many extra-curricular activities on and off campus.
    Orlandria was a member of the Afrikan Student Alliance group on campus.  Serving as the student liaison she attended the CSUSB Black Faculty and Staff meetings, bridging the communication gap between the African American students, faculty, and staff.
    She was also a founding member of Commencing Poetic Revelations (CPR), a student powered group dedicated to the arts and higher education.  Orlandria traveled with CPR to several local high schools and elementary schools throughout the Inland Empire sharing her passion for writing.
    When speaking to students she often shared her story of being a first generation college student.  During her time in CPR Orlandria has participated in talent shows, open MIC nights, and pageants, honing in on her passion for writing.
    Taking her passion to another level she began writing for the arts and entertainment, and news section for the campus newspaper the Coyote Chronicle.  During this time she wrote over a dozen stories, of which nine were published.  Orlandria later became the assistant new editor and a freelance writer for the CSUSB magazine.
    “I didn’t know what I wanted to do until I discovered Public Relations at CSUSB,” said Brazier.  “ I plan to take what I have learned there and apply it here at Dameron Communications.”
    Orlandria plans to return to CSUSB for her Masters and Doctorate degrees in Integrated Marketing Communications.
    “Orlandria shows great enthusiasm for learning the ins and outs of PR here at Dameron Communications. We are pleased that she has join our team,” said Carl Dameron, founder of Dameron Communications.
