Greetings Mayor Van Der Mark, Pro Tem Pat Burns, Councilmen
McKeon and Strickland:
Congratulations on the very successful results of the A & B Charter Amendments in the most recent elections! Thrilled to see the results! Thank you so much for bringing these items
forward. You
truly
mean it when you say you speak for the majority.
And, Congratulations on being the popular
vote on County Central Committee 72nd Assembly District. The results represented all but two of my votes. Most importantly, what my vote for Pat Burns for the County Central Committee.
Disappointed; but, darn close!
You have to feel proud though Pat, especially as you said when you first ran for council people were saying 'who is Pat Burns'. You have made a huge impact in such a short period of time.
I would
like to briefly relay my thoughts
on the following for the upcoming meeting agenda items:
24-204: Council Liaison - SUPPORT.
24-180:
AB1999 SUPPORT for all reasons outlined in communications shared. 24-197: Request for Proposals for managed Library Services. SUPPORT. However, strongly oppose Michael Posey being anything close to involved in this.
He was the one that initially proposed CCE
and ultimately deceived the residents. Along with many other detrimental outcomes of the council's actions during his term. He never supported the majority of residents as well as continuously attacked and clearly had a vendetta against Michael Gates. 24-209: Ordinance 4318 - Parent Guardian Review Board. SUPPORT. Very comprehensive. I think we all need to reflect on what got us here in the first place.
Graphic sexual books (blow jobs, sexual
positions, cartoonish graphic sexual books being available to children and minors. These are grooming tools. There was no oversight. We need parent involvement because the system in the library did not work.
24-208: Withdrawal from League of California Cities. SUPPORT for all the reasons outlined in Casey McKeon's Memo.
And, finally I would like to ask that the City Council maintain decorum in the Chambers. Each person has an opportunity to talk. No one should be heckled or bullied. I know,
first hand from attending
3/19/2024
13 (24-180)
the meetings. What you see on You Tube or the City Channel does not show the intensity of what you experience when attending the meeting in person. In person is much more amplified. It has gotten out of hand and frankly, I do not feel safe attending these meetings in person because of the mob hateful behavior and actions. I have seen others being verbally attacked while the meeting is going on. Please, institute a no tolerance policy for this type of behavior and have anyone who cannot adhere to the no tolerance policy or decorum policy removed.
As always, best regards and thank you for all you do. You truly are making HB better for all of the majority.
Best regards,
Kris Carroll
