Flores, Dora From:Dee Fox <dee.fox@me.com> Sent:Monday, September 9, 2024 6:30 PM To:Fred Jung Subject:OCPA EMAIL RESPONSE Attachments:OCPARegister010123to033124.pdf Attention: This email originated from outside of City of Santa Ana. Use caution when opening attachments or links. While I appreciate you responding to my email, I wish you would have addressed my concerns. Instead you basically said I should be fortunate to get these check registers now because the prior council did not provide them. And you neglected to “blame” yourself too, as you were also part of that prior council. You also stated that the OCPA “regularly” publishes the expense register. No, they/you don’t. And the evidence on your website proves that it is posted every quarter in your Treasury Reports. Let me ask you a dumb question. How is the public suppose to voice their concerns about the board expenditures when they are not posted until 3 months AFTER the fact? Where is the transparency, Fred? You don’t even list these expenditures on the agendas. So, back to my concern. How do you justify these expenditures where the majority come from YOU, TAMMY KIM, and KATHLEEN TRESEDER? How are they benefitting the ratepayers of the OCPA in providing renewable energy? $5,000 for Tommy Lasorda Day in Fullerton, and $2,500 of ratepayer funds going specifically to support Korean businesses overseas, as just 2 examples. Airfare, hotels, one for over $14,000, lots of dinners, expensive dinners…are the ratepayers paying for alcohol at these events? Fred, there is no transparency with this organization, and frankly, it is worse off than it was when it started. You still have the same legal agency, and the same consultants, which Treseder promised to replace or she would vote to get out of the OCPA, but the temptation must have been too much for her. She had to give $30,000 to Ayn Cracuin’s campaign for city council. This is abuse of public funds, Fred, in case you didn’t know. Also, why is the 2nd quarter Treasury Report not posted on the OCPA website? The quarter ended in June in case you were not aware. And why didn’t you address my concern about your promise to put public emails regarding the agenda attached to the minutes? This agency is being funded by the ratepayers and it demands transparency in spending, and not after the fact! ———— Dee Fox On Sep 2, 2024, at 1:28 PM, Fred Jung <Fred.Jung@cityoffullerton.com> wrote: Dear Ms. Dee Fox, 1
