Brown Act

   Please tell me if I'm wrong or not, but isn't it ILLEGAL for a certain Board Member of the Hi-Desert Water Agency, Yucca Valley, CA in San Bernardino County to BE highly and publicly involved in a Real Estate development scheme for the building of 92 houses?  All of which would need water, even MORE water since this owner plans on destroying ALL the desert plants already on this property?  This Board Member is not shy about publicly stating he believes "No one should be made to like desert plants."  If he's really lived here in the desert for thirty years then he'd better like them and encourage others to like them, OR leave the desert!  Destroying these plants will cause massive erosion, flooding of the neighborhood with massive sand storms!  
A Board Member as Real Estate developer?  It REEKS of conflict of interest!
