During an Oceanside City Council meeting, a city planner sent an offensive text about disabled equestrians to another city employee, according to a complaint filed with the city.
A photo shared with Times of San Diego, taken over a man’s shoulder, apparently depicts a March 26 exchange between Sergio Madera and Principal Planner Rob Dmohowski.
“There are like 100 people here including a bunch of special needs f***ers bursting out” Madera allegedly texted Dmohowski.
The text evidently was directed at supporters of the Ivey Ranch Park Association, which hosts classes and equestrian activities for people with mental disabilities.
They were at the meeting to advocate for a development project at the park, which would add to the association’s barn and classroom space.
The association’s facilities are leased from the city, according to Ivey Ranch Executive Director Tonya Danielly, who said Madera’s text was “absolutely (in)tolerable.”
“He should be removed from his position, and anybody who engages with him in that capacity should not be a city representative either,” Danielly said.
Oceanside City Manager Jonathan E. Borrego said the city cannot comment on pending employment investigations.
“We take all allegations of discrimination seriously and immediately initiated steps to promptly and fully investigate this complaint,” he said.
The council, during the March 26 meeting, ended up voting 3-2 to begin the process of registering Ivey Ranch Park Old Farm House and the surrounding land as historic sites, jeopardizing the association’s expansion plans.
Ivey Ranch Park is one of the most significant areas in the San Luis Rey Band of Mission Indians’ region, according to the band’s March 17 memorandum asking the City Council to register the park as a historical site.
“The Tribe’s hope is that we are recognized as a partner in this process and as a co-steward for the future of this site — and others — within our community,” the request says.
Mayor Esther Sanchez and councilmembers Eric Joyce and Jimmy Figueroa voted in favor of the historic registration, while councilmembers Peter Weiss and Rick Robinson voted against the motion.
