Housing and redevelopment manager Brian Desatnik sent me an e-mail this morning (I've been out of the office most of the day) about the actual acreage--3.2--for the affordable housing project at 111 S. College Ave.

I apologize about this to our readers and everyone else and promise to be more careful in the future. And thanks to Brian for the e-mail.

I wrote 2.5 acre project because I somehow--maybe I was just happy to see a number I'm not really sure--overlooked in the city analysis that "this 2.5 acre parcel comprises approximately three-quarters of the proposed development site."

The analysis goes on to say "The remaining portion of the site is currently owned by the Golden State Water Company (GSWC). Jamboree is currently in the negotiations to acquire the GSWC site."

Desatnik said the correct affordable housing parcel number is 3.2, a much larger number obviously.

On Wednesday evening, Three Valleys Municipal Water District board member Xavier Alvarez became upset at me for writing "negative" articles and said I had "s*** for brains" after the water board held a special meeting.

Warning: This post will be sort of long.

For those who don't know, Alvarez represents south Pomona on the board, which meets in Claremont for meetings at the water district headquarters.

He has pleaded not guilty to illegally registering his ex-wife for health benefits with the Three Valleys Municipal Water District. He is accused of adding his ex-wife, Juanita Ruiz, on his insurance from Jan. 24 to Oct. 31, 2007.

Previously, Alvarez was fined and sentenced to probation in July for violating the Stolen Valor Act, which criminalizes false claims of military valor. He claimed he had received the Medal of Honor. 

He was fined and sentenced to perform community service at Loma Linda's Veterans Hospital. I believe he is trying to appeal the case but he declined to answer questions about it Wednesday.

In the current case, an estimated $4,000 was calculated as the loss of water district health insurance premiums. If found guilty, Alvarez could be given anywhere from probation to five years in state prison.

The jury selection for his trial is scheduled for June 8, after a readiness hearing on June 3. 

Anyway, back to Wednesday. Things actually started off on a good note (or at least better than usual) when he said I need to "brush my hair."

I can't really argue this one (look at my Claremont Now photo that occasionally runs in the paper if you don't believe me). 

As an aside, Alvarez's hair is now in a pony tail and maybe he was trying to give me a visual tip on what to do. Thanks Xavier.

After the main water board meeting ended, I walked up to Alvarez to ask how his community service was going in his federal Medal of Honor case and how his appeal was going. 

So we walked to the hallway of the water district (it's toward the south end where board members could get soda and pizza on Tuesday).

Alvarez, who stood directly in front of me, said he would "never" tell me about his community service and to ask his probation officer.

When I asked who his probation officer was, he said it's "none of [my] business."

Then he asked why I keep bringing up the Medal of Honor case. He said "nobody" wants to hear about it and if they did he would be getting recalled.

"Who cares? Nobody cares. You keep bringing up the past ... if they wanted me out, I'd be out."

I told him I get calls and e-mails about the case but he didn't want to hear it.

"What you write is a bunch of bulls***." I think he repeated this phrase, emphasizing "buuuuuulls***."

After this, he said I only wrote "negative" stories.

Then he said "you're full of s***" and that I had "s*** for brains."

Alvarez has a history for going off on people so I didn't take it personally. It's actually pretty funny because I haven't heard that insult in years ... I think I last heard it from my father when I was younger but I'm not sure.

Squishy brains must equal squishy memory too.

I finally just told Alvarez we had "a difference in opinion" after his crappy insult and negative story talk and walked around him to get my notes and leave.

No use arguing with a man convicted of lying.

I'm going to be working on a project Wednesday and Thursday but here is a short rundown of Tuesday's six hour and nearly 20 minute city council meeting.

The exclusive negotiating agreement with Jamboree Housing Corporation for Development of Affordable Housing at 111 S. College Avenue passed unanimously 5-0 after about an hour and a half of discussion from residents, council and staff.

Amendments to the approved special event permit for the Claremont Family Festival on portions of First Street, Second Street and Oberlin Avenue passed with councilman Peter Yao opposed for a 4 to 1 vote. The amendments included using small generators until an electrical system for $3,500 is upgraded on First Street; closing Oberlin Ave. with conditions attached and extending the event an hour from 5 to 9 p.m. with vendors able to set up at 3:30 p.m. and stay until 10 p.m.

I created a Claremont Now Twitter account at https://twitter.com/ClaremontNow to go along with the blog if anyone is interested. I've not posted a lot, however.

I did find a Twitter account for councilman Sam Pedroza but he's only posted one entry under CouncilmanSam.

This could be a fake but it seems believable he would post "getting ready to check out Buck Wildstar at the Wine Merchant" at 7:08 p.m. on March 20.
