Subject: Demanding immediate dismissal of current administration and disqualification of Ram Singh’s slate’s two members (Ram Singh, Tara Singh) And Gurcharn Singh Mann from Panthic slate of California Sikh Association, from the Supreme Council Election in the wake of the uncovered scandal which will cause enormous financial consequences to our Gurdwara as a result of the gross violation of Law and the incompetence of the administration (Supreme Council and few members of the Management) and administration’s inability to notify the Sangat (members) and Covering Up the SCANDAL.
Dear Sirs,
In reference to the 100 acres hill site property of the Gurdwara (Parcel # 507012402900), gross violation of LAW and incompetence of the current administration resulting in unnecessary financial burden, which could amount up to $250,000.00, and not notifying the Sangat (members) has been noticed by the Sikh Sangat of Gurdwara Fremont as following:
(a)On April 20, 2007, Ram Singh, Sukhdev Singh Behniwal, Tara Singh Gill, Gurcharan Singh Mann and Jassi Gill have been issued multiple counts of CITATIONS in the amount of about $3000.00 by the City of Fremont for multiple violations such as grading without permit, littering and leveling the ground without authorization and/or permits. However, this is just the tip of the ICEBERG.
(b)As a result of the illegal activities and leveling, The City not only issued the Citations, they ordered them to put in place the Erosion Control measures and complete the re-GRADING of the land. The management has completed the Erosion control at a cost of about $35,000.00. However, the Grading of the property is still pending and an estimate believed to be in the amount of $150,000.00 to $200,000.00 to complete the job, has been given by Credin DeAngelo consultant firm to the management committee. The present Management is negotiating the Grading and Citations with The City through the Attorney, Mark Cohen, who was Ram Singh’s party attorney in the previous court case from 2002 to 2005 and might be being used as a Gurdwara attorney also. However, there is no way around it, the negotiation process is being used only to delay the matter until after the elections, and the Sangat (members) will have to carry this huge financial burden.
©Current management covered up the Scandal and never notified the Sangat (members) of the gross negligence of the Law or stated the cost of its misdeed in its financial statements, hence by doing so, violated the Sikh code of conduct of Apology and Transparency.
Therefore, as a result, the Sangat (members) would have to bear a burden in excess of about $200,000.00 as following;
Citations: $2400.00
Erosion Control Expense (Gurdwara’s money already wasted): $35,000.00
GRADING (Estimate disclosed by city officials): $150,000.00
Attorney Fees (Estimated from our previous experiences): $25,000.00
As a consequence of Gross violations, COVER UP and incompetence of the management, immediate DISMISSAL of the management and DISQUALIFICATION of the respective candidates from the Supreme Council Election is requested under Article IV, section 1 and 2 of the BY LAWS.
PS: Any member of the Sangat can go to the City’s public works department at 39550 Liberty Street, Fremont, Ca. and check for themselves as this is a Public Record.
