Dear Save Kelseyville Supporters, We have received a response from the California State Auditor's Office regarding concerns raised about the California Advisory Committee on Geographic Names (CACGN). The State Auditor explained that their office can only conduct audits that are either required by la...

STOP WHAT YOU ARE DOING AND TAKE TWO MINUTES TO DO THE FOLLOWING:

1. Copy and paste the following email and send it to CACGN now (Deadline June 5):

Subject: OPPOSE PROPOSED REGULATIONS

To the California Advisory Committee on Geographic Names (CACGN),
I strongly oppose these proposed regulations and ask that they be rejected.

The proposed “perceived association” standard is deeply subjective, vague, and open to abuse. A place name should not be subject to government action based on perception, assumptions, or disputed interpretations rather than clear facts and objective evidence.

This language would allow endless arbitrary challenges against communities, landmarks, and public places based on opinion rather than proof.

I am also concerned that CACGN appears to be changing the rules in the middle of active disputes. Changing standards during an ongoing public controversy creates the appearance of a predetermined outcome rather than a fair and neutral process.

If the concern is truly offensive or derogatory names, why are only certain protected groups emphasized while others may be treated differently? Rules should be clear, neutral, and applied equally to everyone.

Local communities deserve transparency, due process, and meaningful input—not vague standards and moving goalposts.

Please reject this draft policy.

Sincerely,

[Your Name]

2. Forward this email to as many people as you can.

You do not have to be a resident of Kelseyville to oppose the name change, and you do not have to be a resident to oppose the proposed draft policy language.

DEMAND CACGN BE INVESTIGATED!

The documented sequence is clear:

Controversial proposal emerges.
- Public opposition grows.
- No vote occurs.
- Local voters reject the proposal direction.
- Leadership changes.
- Membership changes.
- Staffing-related records requests go unanswered.
- Proposal remains repeatedly deferred.
- Draft standards later appear to manipulate language from previously disputed rationale.

This pattern raises serious concerns about whether the process was managed toward a preferred outcome rather than handled through a fair and timely public process.

Requested Review

I respectfully request an investigation into:

- All staffing and personnel changes affecting CACGN from October 2023 forward.
- Leadership transition decisions and appointment authority.
- Why the Kelseyville matter was repeatedly deferred.
- Internal communications regarding timing, scheduling, and agenda placement.
- Why Public Records Act requests regarding staffing changes have not been answered.
- Development history of the March 2026 draft language “association or perceived association.”
- Whether unresolved active petitions, including Kelseyville, influenced staffing or policy decisions.

When a controversial matter remains pending after a clear local voter rejection, while leadership and staffing change, records requests go unanswered, and standards shift midstream, public confidence is undermined.

The record now warrants independent scrutiny and prompt oversight action.
