As a community member and public servant of 30 years, I am appalled at the behavior that continues to be dismissed. I was forced to leave due to the hostile work environment and its so sad that many have left before me because of this situation. At the end of the day the community suffers. Our most vulnerable suffer.

As a resident of Chula Vista I want to know what is being doing about the hostile and toxic work environment throughout the departments regardless of position. Starting firm entry level to management. I have fist hand knowledge of the terrible work conditions.

Thank you for your attention. My family and I live at 1085 Karen Way, Chula Vista CA 91911.
Vehicles regularly travel above the speed limit on Naples between Hilltop and 2nd Avenue.
Also, the traffic light configuration at Hilltop and Naples needs to be updated. Naples hosts a lot of traffic.
Please help us improve our city by improving one major road at a time. Thank you for your attention to 91911 (Castle Park neighborhood).
