Superior Court of California County of Kern Date: 03/18/2021 Time: 8:00 AM - 5:00 PM BCV-21-100536 COMMITTEE FOR A BETTER ARVIN VS COUNTY OF KERN Courtroom Staff Honorable: Kenneth C Twisselman II Clerk: Daisy Ramirez NATURE OF PROCEEDINGS: RULING RULING: IT IS ALLEGED IN THIS CEQA PETITION THAT KERN COUNTY HAS REVISED ITS ZONING ORDINANCE TO IMPLEMENT A NEW LAND USE APPROVAL PROCESS FOR OIL AND GAS EXPLORATION, DEVELOPMENT AND PRODUCTION ACTIVITIES IN KERN COUNTY. I AM A MEMBER OF A FAMILY-OWNED CATTLE RANCHING BUSINESS IN KERN COUNTY AND WE HAVE NUMEROUS GRAZING LEASES WITH VARIOUS OIL PRODUCTION COMPANIES. MY FAMILY ALSO OWNS MINERAL RIGHTS IN KERN COUNTY WHICH ARE SUBJECT TO ACTIVE LEASES FOR THE EXPLORATION FOR AND PRODUCTION OF OIL AND GAS. MY FAMILY ALSO OWNS THE SURFACE RIGHTS TO GRAZING LAND IN KERN COUNTY WHICH IS SUBJECT TO THE MINERAL RIGHTS OWNED BY UNRELATED PARTIES. BECAUSE OF MY FAMILY'S CLOSE RELATIONSHIP WITH COMPANIES WHOSE BUSINESS INTERESTS MAY BE AFFECTED BY THIS ACTION AS WELL AS OUR OWNERSHIP OF BOTH MINERAL RIGHTS AND SURFACE RIGHTS, I BELIEVE THAT A PERSON AWARE OF THESE FACTS MIGHT REASONABLY ENTERTAIN A DOUBT THAT I WOULD BE ABLE TO BE IMPARTIAL WITHIN THE MEANING OF CODE OF CIVIL PRODECURE SECTION 170.1 SUBDIVISION (a)(6)(a)(iii). I THEREFORE MUST DISQUALIFY MYSELF IN THIS PROCEEDING. Judicial Officer KENNETH C TWISSELMAN II recused himself. Copy of minutes mailed to all parties this date.
