I am a Huntington Beach resident and homeowner for over thirty years and am opposed to the “No Mask and No Vaccine Mandate” Resolution. With COVID testing positivity rates rising in Orange County according to the Orange County Health Care Agency, the city should commit to promoting public health information to our residents to protect all people, especially people at risk. Older people have a greater risk for COVID and its complications, and approximately 19% of Huntington Beach’s population are 65 years old. Opposing the use of masks is not in the best interest of public health.
Thank you for your consideration.

Dear HB City Council,
Thank you again to council members Moser, Bolton, and Kalmick for your dedication.
I oppose 23‐756, which is ridiculous political theater.
I'm not well versed in the law here, but would bet money that the city council cannot override state or county health regulations and that attempting to do so would get the city sued (again!).
Also, "No Mask and No Vaccine Mandate City" just sounds stupid.
I oppose 23‐758. I was suspicious of the attempt to disband numerous committees when it was first introduced at the Sep 5 council meeting. Thanks to the efforts of various HB residents who are involved in some of the affected committees, I learned I was right to be. This looks less like "streamlining" and more like "let's cancel everything we don't agree with." If you want to save taxpayer money, then drop the charter amendment nonsense.
Regards,
Scott Malabarba

I fully support Agenda Item 15 (Resolution No. 2023-48)
Just for the record, I also support the following Voter Resolution
Voter ID for Elections
More in-person voting locations
Monitoring of drop boxes
Although I do not think those go far enough. Most of the problems country wide with voter fraud is the electronic voting machines that have internet access to them in real time and USB Stick access to load scripts. Those are to easy to hack and change votes. Ballots need to be Hand counted (No electronics) Voter Rolls need to be cleaned. Orange County uses Electronic Registration Information Center, known as ERIC. Eric was funded by George Soros through Open Society Foundation. They are a left leaning non- Profit organization. They have done a poor job getting rid of expired people and people that have moved out of the area. Louisiana, Alabama, West Virginia, Missouri, Ohio, Virginia, Florida, & Iowa have left Eric completely because of them not doing the job they were signed up to do. Orange County needs to dump Eric and clean up the voter rolls.
Drop Boxes need to be at the polling place on the day of the election. Period. To many cases of massive dumps at these drop Boxes.
In person voting with Voter id only Single day Voting. Only Absentee ballots to be accepted with a really good excuse. If people are sick and cant make it to vote, come up with a program to pick up those votes.
Hearing Orange County has first class Fraud free Voting…..I am not convinc ed. They still use electronic voting, Signature verifying machines that can be dialed back to accept more loose signature matches, Eric to clean voter rolls, voting for a month. All of these are ripe for fraud. I dont buy they are clean.
Fair elections are the most basic fundamental rights we have as Americans. Fraud in elections should carry very stiff consequences.

Mayor Strickland, Mayor Pro Tem Van Der Mark and members of the City Council:
I am sorry that I am not able to be at the meeƟng this evening to enthusiasƟcally voice my support for Agenda Item #15, the adopƟon of ResoluƟon No. 2023‐48 declaring the
City of HunƟngton Beach a “No Mask and No Vaccine Mandate City!”
This resoluƟon gives each of us individuals and businesses freedom to choose what measures are right for our own health needs. This freedom of choice is the hallmark of democracy and I am very proud of HunƟngton Beach for making
this stance.
So I urge you to vote in favor of item #15 on the agenda!
Thank you for your service to our fine city!

There is no longer an official COVID health emergency, but no one can see the future. It makes no sense for people with no medical or science background to pass a resolution that preempts an action that may be deemed appropriate due to circumstances that cannot be foreseen at this time. This is just another one of your dog‐whistle culture war issues placed on the agenda solely to bring attention to your antics.
Stop wasting our time and resources on culture war items and please start to govern for all the citizens of HB.
Sincerely,
Diane James

CMO STAFF); [email protected] Subject: In opposition to banning mask mandates and politicizing, well, everything Dear Councilmembers, while this meeting’s agenda does seem to include much more customary city council business (and disappointingly also the dissolution of so many citizen run committees, boo!) The final item, 23‐756, to declare HB a “No Mask and No Vaccine Mandate City” is nothing more than a pathetic pick‐me attempt to snag Gracey a Newsmax interview. First of all, its effectively useless seeing as how there are NO mask or vaccine mandates in place. Upon further reading, the resolution would assume that a city council should be trusted more than public health officials in regards to any health emergency … but no there are still all kinds of examples where masks/vaccines would be required. So just trash it, the resolution is pointless and makes our city look ridiculous.
Speaking of catering to one specific political subset… what the heck happened at this year’s airshow? Is this a city event or not? We saw multiple flags flown on the beach that were not in the “approved” selection you all voted on and then a Trump flyover!?! After seeing clips of the city attorney bragging to the convicted rapist currently indicted for over 90 felony charges that he was pushing thru all the changes we as citizens were told were up for discussion, I have to wonder if he, Strickland, VDM, McKeon, and Burns do in fact work for the city of HB or if they work for the Trump 2024 campaign?
And lastly, on the topic of embarrassing video clips going around, Mayor Strickland was filmed referring to “our side” and “their side” and ADA compliance for public comments. To encourage anyone to take advantage of a system in place to accommodate those with disabilities is so wrong and to speak of it in this manner is both disgusting and ought to be a violation of something.
I want to see this city council working together as ONE side, one HB and I don’t want to see any more video clips of elected officials making asses of themselves. Please.
