While there are no formal government standards for private businesses to follow to ensure their websites are ADA-compliant, a consortium of companies created the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines to make websites more accessible to disabled people, the Los Angeles Times reported in a November 2018 article. According to an article posted on law firm Hunton An- drews Kurth’s website in January, attorneys “over the past few years” have “developed a cottage industry of sorts” by filing lawsuits alleging company websites are not accessi- ble to the blind or visually impaired and are in violation of Title III of the ADA, “which prohibits discrimination on the basis of disability in places of ‘public accommoda- tion,’” of which private companies’ websites qualify. The Times said that nearly 5,000 ADA lawsuits were filed in federal court for alleged website violations in the first six months of 2018. In the fall of 2018, tourist George Avalos, with the help of Newport Beach law firm Manning Law, sued 15 inns and hotels in Carmel contending that not only did their 2019 Lectures websites not have enough information about accessible rooms for disabled people, in some cases the booking sys- tems didn’t offer customers a way to book those types of rooms.

Rumors spread quickly, but actual information was scarce regarding the wreck, which reportedly threw the driver and the “mechanic,” the passenger, and then rolled over one of them as it overturned.

A week later, track officials released a statement con- firming the crash occurred shortly before 9 a.m. Aug. 16, 2019 Lectures “when the car entered the corner at an increased rate of speed.” “This resulted in the car getting sideways in the corner, and the car became unstable and ‘high-sided,’ rolling over on the track,” the statement read.

MEMORY CARE Legal framework and strategy Not surprisingly, Stoldt said it’s “highly likely” that ne- gotiations with Cal Am to purchase the system would be unsuccessful, and that the utility would “vigorously con- test” any attempt to seize its system. Cal Am has repeated- ly said it’s not for sale. While Stoldt’s report conceded it’s “not possible” to an- ticipate what legal arguments Cal Am would use to resist a takeover, he said it might challenge the district’s failure to comply with state environmental laws; “some aspects of the district’s acquisition financing plan;” and a finding by the district that a government-operated water system is in the public’s best interest. However, Stoldt predicted Cal Am would also bear a “heavy burden” to refute a district determination that a government-run system is in the best “public interest and necessity,” since the district is entitled, under state law, to a “conclusive presumption” that its findings are correct. It’s rare that a company faced with eminent domain “is able to carry its heavy burden of proof on these points,” Stoldt said. Five of the water district’s seven board members would have to OK a Cal Am takeover, and the district would be tasked with convincing a judge during a bench trial that such a move would benefit water customers. If a judge de- termines the district can go ahead, the case would go to RCFE: 275294322 200 Glenwood Cir | Monterey, CA 93940 a jury, which would decide how much Cal Am should be compensated for its property and assets. PacificaParkLane.com The utility has said its system is worth more than $1 billion, though Stoldt has said it’s likely worth less.

Group director Melodie Chrislock said the Peninsula ined in an exhaustive environmental review, Marina Coast have no merit and are a disservice to the public — both in “can’t afford and does not need” the water project. contends that more studies need to be done. The Marina agency contends that Monterey County, when it OK’d the project, “prejudicially abused its discre- tion and failed to proceed in the manner required by the California Environmental Quality Act by failing to prepare a subsequent or supplemental EIR,” according to the 25- page suit filed in Monterey County Superior Court. As a result, the public was “deprived of the opportunity to consider alternatives and mitigation that could have ad- dressed the desalination plant’s significant environmental effects,” the suit goes on to say. The agency contends that the county should have evalu- ated Pure Water Monterey — a wastewater recycling proj- ect — as an alternative solution to desal. The project was meant to supplement Cal Am’s desal supply. Marina Coast also calls the proposed desal plant “sprawling and unnecessary” and claims it would “de- stroy” seven acres of Marina’s “rare coastal dunes” and “saddle” residents and businesses with “severe long-term environmental impacts.” The lawsuit seeks orders compelling the county to set aside its approval of the Cal Am permit; to comply with CEQA and prepare another EIR, and preventing Cal Am from starting construction of the project. The desal proposal includes a 6.4 million-gallon-per- day facility on more than two dozen acres next to the land- fill and wastewater treatment plant near Marina. Seven slant wells would draw water from under the ocean floor and convey it for treatment. The complaint — filed Aug. 15 by Sacramento law firm Remy Moose Manley — marks the fifth lawsuit by Marina Coast Water District to try to stop Cal Am’s desal plant. The agency lost two suits and agreed to settle one, while two others, including the new one, have yet to be resolved.

IF YOU’VE been paying attention to the national news lately, you’ve prob- ably heard that the Trump administration plans to kill off the polar bear, bald eagle, American alligator and hundreds of other “endangered” species by “significantly weakening the nation’s bedrock conservation law” (New York Times), “stripping key provisions” from the law that keeps “plants and ani- mals from going extinct” (Washington Post), and by “gutting” and “sweeping aside” a law that is needed to “save wildlife and the habitat it needs to survive” (CNN). The federal legislation at issue, of course, is the Endangered Species Act, which was signed by President Richard Nixon in 1973 amid worldwide con- cern that numerous species — and not just iconic ones like the grizzly bear — were in danger of going extinct, primarily due to overhunting, pollution and habitat loss. With so much at stake, it’s easy to see why the law was enacted with wide- spread support from the public and on both sides of the aisle in Congress. Who could be against rescuing the California sea otter? The problem was that the law itself, and especially the regulations put in place to implement it, went much further than its original purpose — in many cases, with the public hardly realizing it. When he announced the changes to the Endangered Species Act last Mon- day, Interior Secretary David Bernhardt said they would “modernize” the act by allowing economic considerations to be taken into account when deciding how to safeguard a species or its habitat; by requiring that only “foreseeable” dangers be used to justify rules protecting species, and by requiring federal agencies to focus their efforts on habitats where endangered species actually “If it’s tourist season, how come you can’t shoot ’em?” live, as opposed to land where they could live but don’t.

It’s an amusing entry, but much too long for this column. Suffice it to say that Carmel’s cynical blacksmith attorney, with a dark sense of humor, was elected as mayor at a critical time in the city’s life as it entered the Depression and came out of Prohi- bition.
