�2 <br /> I,Ken Willis declare and state the following ander penalty ofpOwy under the laws of the State <br /> of Califomia,and if called upon to testify,would testify and-state as follows: <br /> 1. Cope Manufacturing Company from approximately August 1996 employed me until May <br /> 13,2001 when I resigned. I was the foreman for the business. I came to work with the <br /> ,.. business when it was purchased by Dan Mills and Michael Valdez in the fall of 1996 and <br /> worked at the location 28400120350 N.Kennefick,Acampo,California. <br /> 2. Although there was work that was agricultural manufacturing,there was work that was <br /> simply manufacturing that was not related to agricultural. The business was never a farm <br /> equipment shop during the time I was employed. The operations/business that operate <br /> from the property are more than just agricultural equipment. RMP Mixing Systems is <br /> not purely agricultural;much of the equipment can be used and was sold to both mining <br /> companies and general construction companies. The business manufactured mixing <br /> equipment for pre-cast concrete. 'This is known in the industry both Volumetric and <br /> Weigh Batch Plants for concrete.The business was not and is not restricted to <br /> agricultural related equipment only. The website at <br /> <http://www.engmeeredautomation.com/>correctly states that Engineered Automation is <br /> a full service manufacturer. <br /> 3. I recall the following customers: <br /> a.J.F. Shea from the Los Angeles area,in particular they received a mixing plant, <br /> which was sent to the Los Angeles area for construction of a municipal sewer plant. <br /> ` b.Newmount Gold Mining,Nevada mining equipment <br /> c. Small Miring Development Mining,Idaho <br /> d. Step-Stone <br /> simply d <br /> This is not a listing of all the customers, dose I recall without access to business <br /> records. <br /> 4. I was present during an inspection by San Joaquin County Code Enforcement sometime <br /> in mid-2001. I spoke with and toured the premises at 24444 Kennefick with the Cade <br /> Enforcement person,along with Dan Mills. Courdy code was told a batch plant for <br /> concrete was used for fertilizer,which was incorrect. It was expected of me to`protect" <br /> the business operation and be carefid with what was said to the County. At no time did <br /> Dan Mills correct me in anyway in front of the County,not did he chastise me atter the <br /> person left. <br /> Signed on z'�ro at Acampo,California <br /> Ken Willis <br />
