Honorable Mayor and members of the
Council,
My name is Earl Phillips. I am a
resident of Menifee. I am a freelance
Environmental Consultant with over 25
years' civilian and military experience.
My correspondence pertains to the
Menifee North Specific Plan Amendment
No. 3., Item 10.8 of the July 1 Menifee
City Council Agenda.
I am opposed to the staff recommendation and findings on this project, in that the Findings on this project did not
properly consider all of the responses to the EIR submitted for review.
I contend that I complied with the
requirements pertaining to the said
review and evaluation of the EIR for
this project. Please refer to the
Attachment above.
I contend that biased individuals on the city staff denied my submission, using implied threats and coercive commentary,
forcing me to rescind my comments rather than to insist my comments be given a proper evaluation as afforded to
other individuals, agencies, and interested parties.
I contend my comments were ignored by
biased staff members who sought a
variety of means and tactics to delay,
render ineffective, and exclude my
comments from the record.
I contend that while other individuals,
agencies, and interested parties,
2
comments were received and given due
review, evaluation, and discussion, my
comments were intentionally excluded.
I contend that my comments were not
submitted to the Planning Commission
early‐on for Commissioner review and
analysis and that coercive tactics were
employed to render my submission
ineffective.
I contend that the aforementioned
contentions are a matter of city record.
I seek relief in the matter of (1) an
inclusion of my comments (attached) to
the record for this agenda item and (2)
a formal response from the
City/Applicant pertaining to my
comments.
Respectfully,
Earl W. Phillips, Jr. REHS
