Unanswered operational grace period, administrative silence, and enforcement of the October 23 deadline

October 21, 2026

URGENT SAFETY NOTICE · VIA ELECTRONIC MAIL ONLY

Dear Director Hoevertsz and Supervisor Hermosillo:

This administrative notice serves as Day 11 of our formal written record regarding the unpaved, structurally degraded, and hazardous right-of-way conditions on Glenwood Drive in Eldridge, California (Parcel #054-372-005 / Request #26-003080).

I. INTENTIONAL ADMINISTRATIVE SILENCE FOLLOWING OPERATIONAL PAUSE

Out of good faith and administrative courtesy, the filing of Day 11 was intentionally held back for 24 hours to provide Sonoma Public Infrastructure (SPI) and District 1 leadership a window to respond, confirm receipt, or issue the promised site inspection date.

This operational pause yielded absolute silence. Nearly a week after Supervisor Rebecca Hermosillo formally referred active file Request #26-003080 to SPI Director Johannes Hoevertsz, the department has offered zero communication and zero scheduling regarding a roadway officially classified by SPI Engineering as “Very Poor”. The County’s refusal to communicate during a good-faith pause demonstrates an intentional pattern of administrative evasion.

II. STRICT ENFORCEMENT OF THE OCTOBER 23 COMPLIANCE DEADLINE

To ensure accountability before the winter rain season, we reaffirm our strict administrative deadline:

DUE 5:00 P.M., FRIDAY, OCTOBER 23, 2026SPI Director Johannes Hoevertsz (Johannes.Hoevertsz@sonomacounty.gov) must provide a written engineering update and a confirmed site inspection schedule no later than Friday, October 23, 2026, at 5:00 PM PST.

Failure to meet this deadline will be formally logged into the public record as deliberate municipal default, confirming unmitigated liability for known infrastructure and mobility hazards.

III. EXPANDING COALITION & CUMULATIVE MUNICIPAL LIABILITY

This administrative record remains permanently linked to the Clerk of the Board (BOS@sonomacounty.gov) and local media, documenting:

• Subdivision-wide coalition: Active neighborhood petition organizing across Glenwood, Oakwood, Brookview, and Maplewood Drives demanding full-depth structural paving.
• Acute mobility risks: Severe trip-and-fall hazards for recovering elderly residents relying on walkers, including Kathleen St. John (941 Glenwood Dr, age 65+).
• Official policy contradictions: Supervisor Hermosillo’s public podcast statement on SoCo Chat prioritizing “maintaining essential services and creating pathways for catastrophic road repairs” contrasted against SPI’s 91-minute ticket closure.

FORMAL MUNICIPAL DEMANDS

We hereby demand that the County of Sonoma and SPI executive leadership:

1. Incorporate the Day 11 record: Formally attach this notice to active municipal file Request #26-003080.
2. Execute the director response: SPI Director Johannes Hoevertsz must fulfill the October 23, 5:00 PM deadline with a confirmed site audit date.
3. Capital budget inclusion: Commit Glenwood Drive and the surrounding Rancho Madrone subdivision to the Board of Supervisors’ active Capital Improvement Program for full-depth asphalt repaving.

Respectfully submitted,
