Dear Mayor McKeon and City Council Members,
Regarding agenda item 26-488, I am concerned that on July 1, 2024 the infrastructure fund balance was $29.4 million and now in July 2026 it's $4.6 million. This was noted in your powerpoint
presentation.
With the aging infrastructure of our buildings, parks, beach areas, it seems reckless to have so little set aside for renovation and repair.
Just today, for the 3rd or 4th time in a couple of months, the Central Library had to close abruptly for the day because of a chlorine leak inside the building. An employee who was there at the time was even taken to the hospital for observation. Why can't this be repaired properly?
Finally, you promised that the MOU/grant with the Friends of the Library would be signed this month, yet you refused to place it on the meeting agenda. Why is accepting a donation of $825,000 for new library books and materials so difficult? Huntington Beach residents want
new books added to the collection but your inaction is preventing this from happening.
Thank you,
Carol Daus
Huntington Beach resident
