I put over 100k in new gear in there from 2000 on, look in the store room untouched equipment, the conflict is ravi, george Kamenjati no nothings, the tech is not 16yrs old just wanting to sell equipment, and no oversight, its a church in there not a board room. the golden place is just that a pit. Every piece is or has an ip address so the it manager can snoop, but really for making adjustments outside the room or @ home. Its a public room i can show you everything that needs adjusting or replace with equipment bought soon to be junked, sad thing is they listen to themselves, but refuse to show directors how to talk into a microphone, or allow adjustments, we spent over 250k last 10 yrs in improvements, longer mics, lighted, a control system that voting can be added to, new wireless, video conferencing(over 55k) used once, but taken out so they can say we don’t have it, even though ever computer can do it now, tandberg integrated with a system, ravi claims overhead speakers are the problem, those were removed, 10 yrs ago, Beyer intercoms were bought 50k for committee meeting, going to be junked for new ones, 80% of what is there is new and usable with adjustments and proper mic use, mic are to be used to talk straight into. check scvwd record on lawsuits, firings, and other issues, building parks next to directors house, paying for hearing aids, food and expenses go unchecked. even my medical records were told to many at the district, but that was ok, no issue with that even thou there are witnesses, harassment, retaliation on other IT workers who are to afraid to talk, this is the attitude at the district. reads the 2012 diversity audit about management, you can sue them if your unclassified as they make 250k plus and can afford legal . The video below at item 1.4 you can also get the enclosed pdf we submitted, on there valley.org site if not ask, we complained to 22 managers, but after reading the audit i see why they do nothing, over 1 million has been spent on the old board room, which is called the golden palace, or golden spigot as they waste tax money when they should go to water. now they say the boardroom does not work, why gk ordered us not to touch or fix a thing, even though as the SR IT tech i had spent another 20k on hardware that sits, 10k in software contracts we were told to forget about. the bidding paperwork is almost done, they will release no foia docs, even though this same papers are given to the public at ever meeting on any job. that was in 2012 there is 60k worth of gear in the warehouse unused untouched as the new manager does not want to deal with it???? upgraded mixing system and other gear to be on internet in 06 still best equipment, VC put in 08 tandberg never used, and taken out so GK could say we don’t have it(57k) the room is a church not a board room 100k camera for streaming being junked, a amx video controller with joy stick 20k, bought 2012 junked, the bosses tell the big boss nothing but lies, the managers are paid to be there but everyday 1-2 hr lunch when 30 is the norm. After i spoke and even before i tried to slow down the waste, but they have ways to keep tax payer funding high, even in a drought, were funds should be for water. dec 11th 2012 item 1.4 public comment were i bring items to light. pdf or more doc i can supply or ask them. http://cf.valleywater.org/About_Us/Board_of_directors/Board_meetings/_2012_Published_Meetings//MG47843/AS47844/AS47848/AI49234/DO49236/1.PDF http://scvwd.granicus.com/MediaPlayer.php?view_id=3&clip_id=962 OVER 1 MILLION, BUT ASK PEOPLE TO CONSERVE WATER, dont you think a room that has 80% new equipment in it would be just fine in the time of need for money to be spent elsewhere? like water, they are sneaking this through no public comment, debate etc. OR LET THE TECH FIX THINGS AS WE WERE TOLD NOT TO FIX A THING SO THEY CAN PUSH THIS THOUGH, the new design is almost the same as old, 3 docs to get your hands on…… they don’t even speak into the microphone but 2-3 ft away, sideways, there is 1/2 your issue.

However, this was in sharp contrast to being able to handle issues if problems arose when the confidence level in supervisors fell to 18%. “A study of employee’s write-in comments provides poignant examples of the experiences, anger, disappointment and chagrin at some of the practices which are prevalent in the District.

There are alot of discrepancies that should have a closer look into these, as I mentioned …could be wrong or could be right. Close to completion of this document some other events took place that Ray became aware of and are included here. This report is highlighting the Boardroom, cancelled AV projects and unused parts, unnecessary spending under the direction of George Kamenjati and Frank Fung that impacts District public funds. I’m going to start from this past October when I went on medical leave and there were projects in the Boardroom that Ray was to complete and work with the programmer like he has done in the past. George directed Ray thru email and reported out that I was not to be contacted unless thru H.R. When I first left for medical leave there were projects that were supposed to be completed by Ray and the programmer Stephen Anderson, who was paid by George 2 years ago. None of these took place: these include the Boardroom, Maple and B-108. The ~C seems very questionable also. I designed the aJv system for the EOC ( design was approved by Extron) , ordered parts, control software and engineering contract. Not only was I taken off the project by George himself, I was to report to the aJv temp when I was allowed to return to work briefly, then they could not accommodate me on new hours. All parts for that project are still sitting in the Winfield warehouse. A redesign has happened with my initial design and parts scrapped. the result is increase in cost. I have had my phone taken away, email cut off, some emails not responded to from George and Frank, I was told if they could not find any work for me they could not accommodate me, all kinds of pushback ( I had a email from George that listed job duties that contradicted their decision and was told by H.R. after forwarding that I could start the next day) I also emailed George at the very start of my medical leave if he wanted Ray to pick up the updated Boardroom blueprints which are updated with notes and for us to go over the projects so we can be on the same page and to work on the urgent items in the Boardroom that needed to HANDOUT 1.4B – P. Goeltz- be taken care of, George never replied back to me. In the past when I been out both Ray and I were in contact when questions came up so we could be on the same page, I always answer my work phone ( George took my phone away also) Ray has informed me that the new alv temp has been working from the blue prints that are not updated, he got these from George himself when he was already aware that I have the updated correct ones. If there was any questioning that George had regarding projects a simple email or phone call should have happened as there was always communication from all of us prior. From George Kamenjati: Annual work plan 2011 “Paul is the only person at the district who has complete understanding of the audio visual system in the boardroom, ranging from design and maintenance; he is the unit’s main audio video technical reference” “1 assured him my appreciation of his technical talents, and he’ll be a major factor in the successful upgrade to the aging Audio Visual system” Bill Knoff: Annual Workplan 2005 “Paul has been and continues to be dedicated to customer service. He always stays on top of the audio/visual request” Bill Knoff: Annual Evaluation 7/1/08-6/30/09 “Paul has an exceptional knowledge of the board room audio systems and has demonstrated this with being able to assist with troubleshooting some problems over the phone from memory. “ Ray: I want to be upfront also about a situation that I was forced to get outside representation due to both George and Frank Fung and went up the chain of command to get resolve to no avail, so I hope that does not dilute this letter and only one needs to look at Georges management I PR forms the uncompleted work and purchased parts that are still sitting there and money spent- waste and careless spending. What is outlined here in regards to the audio visual system in the Boardroom as well as other av projects that have been cancelled and or not followed up by George himself, directly impact public district funds in the thousands of dollars all under George’s direction. What really was an eye opener to me last week after a mandatory meeting on 3-14-2012 between Frank Fung and myself where i got in trouble. After months and months of mind boggling questioning to myself and Paul Goeltz about why have projects been cancelled, that meeting shined a light on my questioning of thinking that George’s decisions for aJv staff to not troubleshoot or repair even the smallest items or outstanding repair items that he was trying to make us look incompetent in our jobs ( which still could be the case) but I firmly believe after that meeting with Frank, both George and Frank were letting the aJv system remain problematic so they could make sure that the AN system upgrade would be approved. Once again on 3-13-2012 there were some technical issues with the AV system, in the boardroom. I reported out like i usually do. George emailed Michelle King to let her know that the av budget did not got thru and that was forwarded to Beau, he responded how much? Frank then sent the attachment for the amount of $325,000.00 and justification for the audiovisual system upgrade. It said that it was for the problematic system and was at the end of its life. I thought to myself what?? And that is not true. The next day George emailed me and directed me not to cc anybody else besides him in regards to troubleshooting and assignments, after I had cced both Frank, Charles and Michelle King on March 13, 2012 about the recent tech problems since they are the ones who report out. I responded to him that I always cc people who need to know and since I disagree with him to contact H.R. and to let me know when. He responded that it would be insubordination if I do not follow his direction and I replied I understand that is why I want H. R. Involved. Frank was cc’ed on this and called for a mandatory meeting to which I responded I did not want to meet with him alone ( due to past problems) and only with H.R. present, he said it was mandatory and so I met with him. He started out the meeting like he was going to give me my walking papers • this whole situation between you, George and myself is not working out ok, and there needs to be some changes” I said ok, and he continued that I have been argumentative with George and questioning him a lot. I said what specifically and he responded that the email I sent to Charles Wang were I asked for clarification that we would be troubleshooting now since we were directed by George not to troubleshoot or repair previously ( this was sent in email and told verbally by George to a/v staff last year) that I did so to get George in trouble. I replied Charles was already in the email thread before I mentioned that, I then asked Frank did Charles not know that George had directed us not to repair or troubleshoot? He just got all flustered and said he is not going to discuss that with me. Half way thru the meeting he yelled at me ( I reported this as people heard outside his office- a co-worker told me he heard Frank). Towards the end of the meeting Frank said that he does not want to get any more emails from me regarding George anymore ( I had sent a email to him the week before when there was a incident and got no reply from him- this was his response to that) he did not want me to cc him anymore in regards to av and that I was only to go thru George as I was directed by him ( to point out the obvious if there are discrepancies with George it’s going to stay with him if I only go thru him) I replied to him that the reason I do cc him is that he and Charles are the ones who report to staff to keep them updated why wouldn’t you want to be included? he said no more and to send emails to George only. I also said that since he is the Unit manager these things should be a concern to him as George’s is making bad decisions, he said no more and email George only. This is very odd as Bill Knoff/ Seth Johnson always kept staff updated with the AV system from Paul’s input and mine. On 3-3/18/2012 George reported out at our av meeting to all that the av upgrade had been approved. Months ago I had asked George in our 10n1 meeting if he is keeping staff updated on the av system since they were waiting to secure a alv company to do maintenance as we are not to touch. He replied that Frank and Charles were the ones to be doing that and not him. I brought this up because we are the ones that people look at and question when problems arise in the boardroom ( most recently Linda LeZotte, Richard Santos, Brian Schmidt and Sharon Judkins all for different av issues during our boardmeetings) Beau had asked me awhile back when are we getting the av system fixed as we are always having problems with it. I reported that out at that time with email. I emailed Frank after this meeting and explained this to him and also said I asked Michelle King if she had been kept updated and she said no. Frank responded that he and Charles would be putting a communique to staff. I just recently asked Michelle King again on 3-13-2012 if she has heard from them on the boardroom av status and she replied no. I am not sure if he only sent that to Sharon and Beau .. If not why is it that staff is not being updated by them?? Below is some information on the Boardroom 4 AMXpower management units were purchased to preserve the component life in the AN rack, the alv components were to be plugged into these units to power down nightly and on the weekends to reduce heat and wear and tear. These have been sitting upstairs for over 6 months or more. Stephen Anderson was paid for this but told not to contact him by George. (Pies below of AMX Power Management Units- upstairs in 2nd floor HQ) – .”” –”I _ .. _ … ~ … • ~. _ _ __ • __… _~_ There was numerous parts purchased for Phase 2 and 3 for the Boardroom ( cables, connectors, tools AMX parts) that was cancelled. PTE camera controller for our main camera was bought this is sitting in admin still, this was supposed to fix the camera issues we were having, Stephen was paid for this also. (Just recently because of not securing av company George finally had to contact him when we had issues) Royal a vendor ( a Telecom company not a AN company) that was used to install some cables in the front and rear of boardroom pulled the cables after a job was cancelled, the cables are just lying behind the rack on the floor making it impossible to go behind the rack with out stepping on these. In the front of the rack there was a cable coiled up together with one that had a tear exposing the wire to the metal and when touching them it went cracking over the av system loudly ( this was after we were asked to troubleshoot the system when the program audio would not work when some public speakers wanted to playa cd during one of our recent board meeting) we both reported these findings to George he seemed uninterested and to this day almost 4 weeks now it’s still in this condition, and since last year when Royal did thiswork. Here is a example of the new podium that we were asked by George to install, notice the cable Management, cables wrapped up and coiled nicely. But yet he takes no action on a/v rack. The podium was installed 3/15-16/2012 the new av temp did most of the work. Riverview a AN company that was finally secured had to come down twice within a week. The first time when I reported out the Assisted listening had went down, we were asked by George to trouble shoot and I did with the software avoiding the rack due to it being a mess, Mike the NV temp troubleshooted the rack but came up with nothing. Riverview came out and a few hours later found out that the problem was 2 wires to the antennas we not plugged in (a simple secure connection was all that was needed) . The very next week they had to come down once more to fix the program audio ( cd audio) and found that a RS232 connector that should be screwed in was disconnected. ( Antenna cable· Left, RS232 Cable- right) March 20, 2012 Riverview came down once again, one of the issues he came across was a video cable that was not plugged in, he said its very suspicious, that trlis is the third cable he has found unplugged. At the very end, he was was talking to us both and said that “there is a lot of configuration that can be used but you guys don’t utilize about 80% of the system, there is a lot of redundancy with the system and he went on to say that a lot of these problems that we are having could be solved if there was communication between each other.” Paul: Redundancy like every staff and directors spot has a full av system that does not get used ( this does not need to be replaced) training would be beneficial. ED Giver· Installations Division Field Supervisor: Riverview Systems Group (408) 702·5474 Spinitar who do a upgrade a couple of years ago to the Audio Visual system while Bill Knoff was Unit Manager, paid $60,000+ … Why a upgrade so soon? Paul- 30% of equipment in AN rack is usable in a digital environment · AMX Power Management bought not used. programmer pre-paid, no follow up · Vendors called If general maintenance from onsite av staff would happen it would have prevented recent issues we were having including the following with Chair LeZotte mic ( vendor found and cleaned the mic connectors 3-26-2012 updated just today at our Boardmeeting it occurred again and she was frustrated, so I figured I troublsehoot on the spot and did a simple procedure that seem to fix it, time will tell. I did so because we were live and in a situation. ) I Director Santos touch screen going off (I changed the sleep mode from 5 min. To 15 min) · PTE Camera controller not installed, I have reported out camera issues recently, this would have prevented that. Controller and programmer work paid · Positrack camera controller was purchased but cannot be used due to the PTE not installed · COB AV AMX panel still out and not returned Stephen Anderson has this · Log in code written by Stephen Anderson las year-paid no work done • EQ.C -Redesign and parts still sitting in warehouse to be returned, new design and new parts to be ordered. · Maple Room cancelled last year by George, no reason given to this day, I emailed Penny Larussa and she was not aware and questioned Why. If it was not for me inquiring it would not been addressed, it is now getting underway, still no acknowledge from George as why it was cancelled first place. · 8-108 parts ordered work cancelled · Podium: A brand new Boardroom podium was purchased instead of having our carpenter Scott McKnight who was originally scheduled by AV team to build one, George decided to purchase one instead. · Public Address Speaker was purchased when I emailed it needs to be sent in for repair. Thousands were spent and we could have sent in for repair or purchased a battery as we did when the exact same speaker had issues. Paul had purchased a battery and installed it prior the price was around $300. Not only a repair would have been more cost savings to District, George did not need to purchase a new one as their was no urgency and we have other options, like the brand new speakers that were purchased ( 4 Mackie speakers are sitting in our warehouse unused) over a year ago. • 3-26-2012. Just today at our Boardmeeting when I came in after my training I was informed that our Sony DSR went down after a error occurred and would not start up so they swapped it out. He followed up with a email for me to look for a brand new one with extra capabilities, when I get a chance. Around 2 pm I was informed from the other av tech that George was already looking for one ( he does this constantly, ask’s me, then does it himself or intercepts av tickets to micromanage and take the lead) He is already to purchase a new one with­ ought me taking a look at it ( even though we are told no troubleshooting). I have seen this error before and it clears up due to the tape not being put in properly ( updated: 3-28, I got a chance to look at it, the tape was stuck, i recommend repair) We have 2 other DSR that do the same thing and no need to spend upwards of 4k or more for a new one with all the bells and whistles that he is asking for. All we do is record to the tape for backup if the Granicus system fails, if it does we capture the back up tape and transfer it to Granicus, if Granicus is successful which it is 99% of the time we just record over the tapes. There is no additional need for it to be on network etc. More unnecessary spending from him. We have all the emails to backup what is written here and will compile them also. PR forms can be referenced with dollar amounts, dates and parts/service. Not only.has this put us in a position with having to deal with the av system in the boardroom, it has put the Directors and District Staff as well since they are the ones having to use it and I am pretty sure they are unaware of IT management directions.

By user you mean administrator… which is you and ray correct? Will there be a Heat issue? Do we need cooling there? Again your expertise is needed here, Remember you are the senior tech. As there will require lots of cable and extenders, to put them there. They should go behind the av area. DVI, CAT 5, or HDMI with vga inputs? You Decide what is best, you are the expert Senior tech. probably it will be a combination. Again, if this is hard for you to figure out on your own, please let me know asap. To summarize, I’m not asking you to DETAIL the design; for now I just need a MACRO view (i.e. larger view) of the system.

I rely on your expertise what is best, but I would say chose what best support Digital environment.. Are we taping to hard disk or tape? I rely on your expertise what is best, but I would say recording on disk is best and faster. So the equipment racks you want in 131? Yes The committee meetings that system must tie in also right? Also tie in the Back office /conference of the Directors, Pre function rid of the old crt or keep them I rely on your expertise what is best, but I would say chose what best support Digital environment From: George Kamenjati Sent: Thursday, September 08, 2011 9:55 AM To: Paul Goeltz Subject: RE: Prices on the upgrade You’ve been using the board room for many years, and you have an IDEA on what they want, You would think it’s that way, but unless you meet with the end users, you really have no idea? I will try. 1- Of course no satellite, 2- For now let’s focus on the Board room, we can Do the in between building later (provision for it) 3- Don’t make it more complex than what it is, Basically here what we need: 1- Digital/Ethernet based system to be located in room B-131 2- Boardroom coverage to include: a, Cameras b, Podium c. 9 Dias Seats d, 3 Chiefs seats e. 2 COB seats 3- Feed to IPTV and Granicus 4- Voting System, The End user or stake holders will be engaged when the Consultant comes in, I just need approximate list of hardware and cost, When you make the list please put hyperlink to each product specs, If this is something you can’t do please let me know asap and I’ll manage.

And we had committee meetings yesterday today and tomorrow. I had some questions about what you want, which I had sent before, we are not going to ask the end user what they want need? Or we are just designing a room for digital use? What about recording, Bluetooth, and a host of other items. What do the directors want, how can a design happen if we don’t know about the front table, rear table, podium etc. Next week is free except Monday am Steve is calling back in, and the 15th I can work on it but have to be with royal It took 3 straight days just to do EOC, and another to do changes.
