To: Mayor Mary Salas and Chula Vista City Council Members I am once again reaching out to this body to ensure that you will uphold your oaths to the people of Chula Vista, and that you will follow the Constitution of the State of California as well as the Constitution of the United States of America.

defending life and liberty, acquiring, possessing, and protecting property, and pursuing and obtaining safety, happiness, and privacy.
Sec. 1 added Nov. 5, 1974, by Proposition 7. Resolution Chapter 90, 1974.) This article has not changed, and I have not provided my consent for the city council, or the mayor all of whom are paid public servants of the people of Chula Vista whether " elected" or selected, to over reach in their perceived authority to interfere in any way with my property or my rights to do or not do what I deem appropriate with it. The job of the mayor and city council is to act on behalf of their constituents and to follow moral and ethical standards to ensure that our rights are protected.
The once again proposed Tenant Protection Ordinance ( TPO) is up for approval. Thankfully there are many informed citizens that care about out city and about our rights, and there has been, and there will continue to be opposition to this type of unsubstantiated, arbitrary, and overreaching ordinance in our ci ty. It was initiated by a referral by Mayor Mary Salas at a City Council meeting on Oct 26, 2021. The basis for this referral has no solid standing. The data being used is from 2011 to 2015, a lot has changed since then in our demographics, selecting data that aligns with a narrative cannot be utilized in a factual serious discussion about what is really needed in our city. Where is the data for at least the last three years that will tell the real story? I requested in my written objection in May 2022, tha t the council obtain valid current data for their proposed ordinance. I also pointed out that the only group that supposedly was asking for such regulation was a pro TPO paid group organized by Alliance of Californians for Community Empowerment or ACCE (formerly Acorn). ACCE was a coalition leader for Proposition W, the rent control issue in National City that was defeated in Nov 2018. I personally attended the May 17, 2022 council meeting, and saw members of this special interests group show up at the city council meeting all in yellow t- shirts being coached and organized. The leader made scripted comments, and had some of the group members pretending to be affected citizens, and frankly making obvious false statements, basically actors, trying to drive a n arrative to support the supposed reasons for this ordinance. It was shameful to watch these people being used. How can we possibly believe that the city council is doing this with good intentions? In addition, attributing some of the reason for this proposal to a state of emergency, that was created by the actions taken and pushed by the Chula Vista City Council, and the State of California, should also disqualify this proposal as circumstantial and advantageous to the city council.
The leadership of the City of Chula vista could have taken the right actions to preserve jobs, and to keep people informed and educated, we could have avoided most of the negative impacts to our local economies that are stated in the reasons for the proposed ordinance. Instead y ou have chosen as many of our cities, to take the federal dollars, lock up their citizens, close down businesses, and force people to fear for their lives and their livelihood, by spreading the fear porn and propaganda for more than two years and counting. And now you want to " solve" the problems you purposely created ( never letting an emergency go to waste), conveniently providing a " solution". This raises a lot of eyebrows frankly, the playbook is getting very obvious to those that are paying attention, and more and more are paying attention now.
It' s time to stop the façade, I think that many of us see clearly that the ordinance has nothing to do with helping people, its about controlling people. We do not consent, we will not consent to your tactics, and I hope that you realize that we are all paying close attention to your motives and actions. We will be more critical of our future city leadership, I think we have learned a difficult lesson, by not paying closer attention to who was deciding on our behalf and whether or not their intentions were good. In the near future we will fill these seats with people that care about Chula Vista, about its future, and about really making a positive difference in the lives of those that live here. So disappointed and saddened by the state of our nation and of our city. You all could have done the right thing, but I suspect you will continue to push your dictated agenda, you should expect that we will push back. The proposed tenant ordinance is unconstitutional, redundant, has no valid credible statistical basis, is an insult to the hard working people of Chula Vista, and a WrittenCommunications

blatant attempt to make property owners into criminals, if they don' t play by your arbitrary and ambiguous rules.
Thank you for the time you have invested in reading my objections to this proposal. Please consider doing the right thing for your constituents.
Respectfully,
