- Dec. 29, 2010: City's Reply to PRA Request Unresponsive
- The City's response to Items I and III of the November 1, 2010 PRA are not responsive to the request. Our Organization wishes to alert the City to the PRA process requirements. The City's PRA response is flawed in the following ways:
- Nov. 17, 2010: Asst. DA Don H.Gallian Responds
- I have reviewed all of the material that has been submitted concerning a possible Brown Act violation by the City Council of Porterville and their approval of the MOU between the City and the Tule River Indian Tribe. I have also reviewed all the articles written in the Porterville Recorder and the documents provided by each of your offices. I have reviewed the agenda items of the Porterville City Council and the agreements reached between the Council and the Tulare Indian River Indian Tribe. I have met with Julia M. Lew, the city attorney for the City of Porterville. I have met with representatives from Stand Up for California. I have reviewed the Brown Act as to how it would apply to this situation.

- On September 2, 2010 the BIA issued a FONSI on the 40 ac application by the Tule River Indian Tribe. The FONSI failed to include letters of comment which included the Governor's letter of comment. The BIA is withdrawing the FONSI and will consider the comments before resubmitting the FONSI. We hope the BIA will require a full EIS.
