Chula Vista subcommittee may soon weigh in
on suspending officials facing criminal charges
The Charter Review Commission explored the topic after
recent indictment of former Councilmember Andrea
Cardenas, who pleaded guilty to felony charges in
February.

Should a Chula Vista elected official facing felony charges be suspended from office? Should they receive their salary and benefits? What should happen to their staff?
Last year, council members debated whether felony charges alone — not just a conviction — should be grounds for removal from office via a City Council vote.

They ultimately decided to forgo that provision in a list of charter amendments that voters approved in 2022.

But when the San Diego County District Attorney’s Office filed charges of fraud, grand theft and money laundering against Cardenas in November 2023, many questioned whether Chula Vista should reconsider suspending an indicted official. More
Councilmember Jose Preciado said he wanted to explore what other cities do, what the City Attorney’s Office recommended and if all of his council colleagues would agree to place the issue on a future ballot, which would cost the taxpayers money.

Councilmember Alonso Gonzalez said he would prefer a subcommittee take up the topic and consider any other additional charter amendments.

and Voter your main priority should be to improve quality of life in Chula Vista
I just do not think that you could ever stop protecting your friends as you already have shown as Chula Vista City
Council member and yout personal interest.

I personally believe that, if you Carolina were to be elected as a supervisor. There would be NO transparency or
communication and that
you would have too many GATE KEEPERS like you
presently have
your focus Shound be my community you would represent.
