I attended the First Friday breakfast held at the San Diego Country Club Friday April 14th and saw former Deputy Mayor Alonso Gonzales and learned he is on the board of the Chamber of Commerce, he was introduced that way and I have it on recorded video. A former Deputy Mayor had input on the 2024-2025 budget, just to leave mid fiscal year to be on the BOARD of Chula Vista's lobbying committee. Smells like possible embezzlement or money laundering may have occurred and as a Chula Vista resident I am concerned with the lack of transparency.

Twenty-one minutes are scheduled for the public to address the City Council for three minutes each on any matter within the jurisdiction of the City Council that is not on the agenda. The remaining speakers, if any, will be heard during the continued Public Comment period.
