Dear Sharon
The citizens of 29 Palms are being duped, pure and simple.
The good folks of 29 need only ask Chief Hartwig to explain the missing money at Havasu Lake and the in-house allegations of misappropriation when considering County Fires record in small desert communities.
County Fire apparently is unwilling or unable to provide a budget, the required annual audit, and any meaningful tracking of our 218 “Special Fire Tax” election generated Tax Dollars. ( allegedly illegally Sent to Hesperia for a command salary)
The FOIA return received from County Fire was an absolute joke and can only be perceived as being deceptive, which of course indicates knowledge and guilt. All items received from County Fire already existed in our Havasu Lake database and we had in fact sent one document to County Fire. Yes, County Fire sent it back in the FOIA return!
We have a performance evaluation upcoming with LAFCO, it will be interesting to see if Chief Hartwig has cooked the books by then. (Forensic Audit) Why deny a FOIA Request then produce the record for LAFCO?
In response to Chief Hartwig’s deceptive bullshit we are going to produce the complete record of events at Fire Station 18 and hammer him with it until he quits. No one at County Fire has denied the allegation of misappropriation of funds from our Special District. This is of course a Mitzelfelt legacy issue.
Something will appear in a mailbox in 29…..

Here in 29, it’s all about the budget. Handing our local fire department over to County Fire is a slippery slope. Right out of box, County Fire will demolish the fire department by half — and every school, church, family, structure and business will be in peril. Insurance rates will surly increase. Who in their right mind would ever want to invest in a city-village 60 miles from no where with inadequate public and fire protection?
Meanwhile, the 29 city council is play Russian Roulette by sitting on their hands and doing nothing with over $12 million surplus. The city receives over 20% in taxes for public safety but does not pay one penny for fire services. It’s managed by the much respected 29 Palms Water District.
They appear to be sick and tired from the insults toward them by members of the city council. Stay tuned… .
