Amedee Geothermal v LMUD
Federal Case: 11cv 02483
Filed on 9/19/11
See fullSeptember 16, 2011 Amedee Complaint below
In February 2011 LMUD changed Amedee's power illegally from 34.5 kv to 12 kv. LMUD Electrical Superintendant David Folce left in February/2011 and General Manager Ray Luhring left in March 2011
April 11, 2012
LMUD Bookkeeper/ General Manager Bill Stewart ordered David Folce to lock Amedee out of the Common Metering Facility at AGV I
The Court granted Amedee (AGV I in Wendel) a Temporary Restraining Order against LMUD and ordered LMUD to reinstall the 1750 Power Recorder today. LMUD closed Amedee out of the Common Metering Faciliy (CMF) on March 7, 2012.
The TRO forced LMUD to cancel it's SPECIAL MEETING TODAY.
LMUD's Attorney Eugene Chittock was needed, at the site, to deal with yet another total screw-up by Bill Stewart.
Stewart and an incompetent Board are costing ratepayers thousands of dollars.
When is enough?

Amedee Geothermal Venture Files Multi-million dollar lawsuit against a very poorly run and corrupt utility
The incompetent LMUD Board has put themselves in a corner. They have no qualified General Manager and a boat load of lawsuits because of it
This incident occurred in February 2011. Ray Luhring left LMUD in March 2011

Lassen Municipal Utility District Up to Its Old Tricks
Rope A Dope (the ratepayers)
Dirty Brown Act
The LMUD Board does not even bother to agendize Resolution 2011-06, even though they admit that the Board received this claim on August 15, 2011 and decided not to include it on their August 23, 2011 Agenda.
Resolution 2011-06 just happens to be a $1.5 million dollar liability that needed to be hidden.
Stewart saw LMUD and Frank Cady do a similar stunt when they instituted the PDCA, which gave the General Manager authority to raise rates at will. The LMUD Board did a Rope-A-Dope one meeting with a "proposed" $25 monthly service charge and the next meeting slipped in the PDCA without anyone even realizing what the Board had done. This action initially eliminated public hearings on rate increases.....which they knew to be illegal. .
Resolution 2011-06 was not on the Agenda.
No copy of Resolution 2011-06 was included in the public packet
The "topic" was included in the closed session agenda (14 C) but there was no mention of the $1.5 liability and no mention of Resolution 2011-06.
Heads must roll if this $1.5 million dollar mistake was the fault of this public utility
or
Resignations and indictments must happen if this is a scam
LMUD had to be very very careful with their Minutes for September 27, 2011. They were finessed and artfully written
