At 9:50 am, Area Director (AD) Maria Rodgriguez arrived at the facility and met with LPA Castro and LPM Tran. AD infomed LPM Tran and LPA Castro that facility had hired an attorney and the attorney requested to speak with LPA Castro and LPM Tran. LPM Tran responded that Department can arrange a meeting with the attorney at the Orange County Regional Office. AD stated the attorney wanted to speak with licensing staff right now and proceeded to dial a video call on her phone and put the phone screen toward LPA Castro and LPM Tran's direction. The gentleman on the phone screen did not introduce themselves and started to question the reason why Department's staff conducted visit at the facility and accused the licensing staff of harassing the facility staff. The gentleman also stated that licensing staff are not allowed to interview facility staff without his presence. LPM Tran declined to respond to the inquiry as the gentleman on the screen appeared to be driving and let AD know that an in-person meeting is needed to discuss their concerns.
Area Director left the facility at 10 am, shortly after the call was ended. At 10:05am, AD Rodriguez called facility Director Burgos and instructed Director Burgos not to sign any reports provided during visit today.
When LPA Castro requested to review children's files to check for LIC 9224 Acknowledgement of Receipt of Licensing Report, Director went to the Director's office and returned with the phone on. On the voice phone speaker was a gentleman by the name of Hari, who introduced themselves as the owner of the facility, the owner questioned LPA Castro why the children's files were being reviewed over and over. Owner stated this is a harassment when the file reviews were being conducted, LPA explained that the files reviews are needed to ensure the facility has followed up with posting requirements to provide the 06/08/26 report which documented the Type A violation. The owner stated they would make a complaint to the governing agency and instructed the Director to provide the children's files for the LPA to review. The Director stepped away and later on responded to LPA Castro and LPM Tran that they did not have the LIC 9224 signed by children's representatives. Director stated that they were under the impression that they had 30 days to collect the signed LIC 9224 from the children's representatives.
