STATE WAIVES BROWN ACT PUBLIC NOTICE REQUIREMENTS TO SAVE CASH

By MARY SCHLEY Burch said payments from the state for posting agendas which ended June 30. and reporting closed-session business totaled $12,868 in the City administrator Jason Stilwell was unclear whether the IN ORDER to avoid reimbursing local governments and 2009/2010 fiscal year and $15,376 in the 2010/2011 fiscal special districts for the costs of posting meeting agendas and year. She didn’t have the figure for the 2011/2012 fiscal year, See NOTICE page 17A disclosing the results of closed-session meetings, the state waived those Brown Act requirements as part of this year’s budget. But rather than doing away with the practices, Carmel and county officials said they will continue making sure the public is informed while footing the bill themselves. According to news reports, the state will save an estimat- ed $96 million in tax dollars by suspending the requirements. The cost savings results from lower reimbursements via SB 90, which requires the state to reimburse local governments for the cost of complying with state mandates, including the Brown Act provisions. “This isn’t the first time the state’s done this; they did it back in the 1990s, as well,” city attorney Don Freeman said this week. “The state wanted to save money, so they just cut out the state mandates regarding the Brown Act so they could avoid the reimbursements.” But, he speculated, state legislators “know nobody’s going to back down on the Brown Act,” so local governments will continue to follow its rules at their own expense. Freeman said he will discuss the issue with the Carmel City Council at an upcoming meeting. He has already advised the City of Seaside and the Association of Monterey Bay Area Governments, both of which are also his clients, to “continue to operate the way they have always operated.” “The reality of it is it shouldn’t change the way the city operates at all,” he said. “I don’t believe anybody made a change back in the ‘90s when something similar happened, and I don’t imagine anyone making a change now.” City clerk Heidi Burch said Carmel would not be forgoing any of the Brown Act provisions in light of the state’s deci- sion. “It is an ethical responsibility of government to be open, transparent and accessible,” she said. Posting agendas pro- vides crucial information and “encourages the public to par- ticipate in the decision-making process.” “An informed public and the trust generated by the dis- semination of information far outweigh a cost savings real- ized by not posting agendas,” she continued.

Bergstrom’s retrial set for August

By MARY SCHLEY CARL BERGSTROM, the Carmel physician whose 2009 rape conviction was overturned by an appellate court because of erroneous jury instructions, remains jailed on $750,000 bail and is facing a new trial next month, according to Monterey County Managing Deputy District Attorney Ed Hazel. Bergstrom was arrested in April 2009 on suspicion of forcibly sodomizing a woman in his Carmel Woods home, and after a two-week trial three months later, a jury convict- ed him of the charge. He was sentenced in September of that year to six years in state in prison, and he filed an appeal while incarcerated. While the appeals court threw out many of his arguments — principally, that Monterey County Superior Court Judge Russell Scott incorrectly admitted evidence of two prior sex offenses with which he was never charged, unlawfully allowed use of a video of Bergstrom engaging in consensual anal sex, and should not have permitted evidence of his prior drug-related misconduct — the three-justice 6th Appellate District panel agreed that Scott incorrectly instructed jurors regarding the victim’s ability to consent to having anal sex with Bergstrom. The panel’s October 2011 ruling put the case back in the hands of the Monterey County District Attorney’s Office. Now represented by defense attorney Richard Rosen, Bergstrom is still being held in Monterey County Jail, according to Hazel, and deputy district attorney Cristina Johnson, who handled the original case against him, is also working on the new trial. The attorneys appeared in court July 10 to set a date for the next hearing involving his case. On Aug. 10, Rosen will make a motion to suppress some of the evidence against Bergstrom. The new trial against Bergstrom is set to begin Aug. 20.

Civil actions pending Meanwhile, several of Bergstrom’s former medical patients sued him in small claims court to recover some of the fees they paid for his concierge medical services, and his victim, identified as Jane Doe 1, filed a civil suit against him in August 2009. According to the court system, several set- tlement conferences were held earlier this year, apparently to no avail, and a jury trial is set to begin in October. Rosen is representing him in that lawsuit as well. In April, Security Credit Services LLC, a company that makes money for investors by buying bad debt, also sued Bergstrom in civil court. Attorneys on that case are set to appear in court Aug. 17. 8A The Carmel Pine Cone July 27, 2012

Assault rifles and the Second Amendment

WHILE THE Supreme Court has affirmed the right of Americans to own firearms under the Second Amendment, it has never extended the interpretation of that Constitutional right to any particular type of weapon. So if you are planning to defend yourself at home with a tank, don’t bet on the courts saying the law can’t stop you. Likewise, if you’d like to tow a cannon behind your car to protect yourself from gangs, there’s a pretty good chance a judge won’t say the police have to let you. And if carrying a hand grenade in your handbag is your idea of self-defense, good luck with telling the TSA before your board your next flight that you have a right to. Which brings us to the question: What was James Holmes doing with a 100- round, semiautomatic assault rifle when he massacred people in a movie theater in Aurora, Colo., last week? Sure, he had a shotgun, which can do a lot of dam- age. And he had at least one Glock pistol. But those weapons are puny compared to the firing power of the AR-15 assault rifle (civilian version of the M-16) police say Holmes used. A gun like that can shoot 100 people in a couple of min- utes without reloading — a useful capability if you’re repelling an invasion, but not something needed very frequently in the Denver suburbs. So why aren’t such weapons banned? The Supreme Court definitely has not “I hate squid, but I love calamari.” said (and would not say) that carrying an AR-15 is a Constitutional right. Which means Congress and the 50 state legislatures could make possessing one illegal the end of town out of business or severely harm them. It certainly won’t attract more any time they wanted to.
