It is time for the City of Chula Vista to hire an independent auditor's office to investigate corruption and other matters. Pushing out City Employees who have contributed to the well being of the CV residents is unfair and self serving. Many of us submitted comments as to why the City Manager's position should have been recruited by a professional firm. The recent news stories demonstrate that there is a coordinated effort to get rid of legacy employees and replaced them with "yes men" versus employees who are dedicated to public service in an ethical manner.
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.

Consider items removed from the consent calendar by the Mayor or a City Councilmember, if any. If no items were removed from the consent calendar, this item will be withdrawn.
