Democratic Behavior?

I saw the following on the walkbikeamador.com website: “ACTC Transportation Planner and Upcountry Representative will present information related to the plan to the Pine Grove Civic Improvements Club. 11/2/16” I do not recall seeing that public meeting notice on any other local media and if my memory is incorrect then please let me know. Since this organization has a clear history of excluding certain Pine Grove residents from their email list who don’t completely share their vision, this exclusive behavior is not surprising.

Yet their website states: “The Pine Grove Civic Improvement Club is a nonprofit organization, incorporated in 1954. We strive to: Unite the inspiration and enterprises of the people of this district to promote education, moral, social, and civic measures and community improvement and betterment of the Community know as Pine Grove (and) Unite the members in the bonds of friendship, good fellowship and mutual understanding”.

Their behavior is, according to some, in violation of their lease agreement with Amador County.  I therefore ask the District Attorney, the County Council, the Board of Supervisors or whomever is appropriate to investigate this situation and respond accordingly. And while I do not want to finger certain individuals, anyone can go to their website and read their list of officers.
