Mayor, Council, City Attorney, Independent Budget Analyst, City Clerk Comment:
CC-1: Councilmember von Wilpert mentioned the mass shooting last week in El Cajon. She shared we lost a dentist, Benjamin Harouni, by a former patient who came in with a gun and killed him and injured 2 staff members. Councilmember von Wilpert expressed being grateful that we are going to be voting on another heroic response that our City Attorney is taking to have a grant for the Gun Violence Response Task Force. She thanked City Attorney Mara Elliott for her work, so we don’t feel so powerless in these situations.
CC-2: Council President Elo-Rivera apologized for being late coming from an important day for some our communities where we announced the $150 million Reconnecting Communities Grant called the “Highways to Boulevards” pilot program spearheaded by Governor Newsom. He mentioned this is an important effort to make amends for some of the injustices of the past related to bulldozing communities and replacing the communities with highways. He acknowledged that this is a very good day for the communities who will be benefitting from these projects.
City Clerk Fuentes announced in response to the Major Disaster Declaration for California, both the City Clerk’s Office and the Clerk of the Board of Supervisors will assist flood survivors with replacing their lost or damaged U.S. Passports as a result of the January 22nd floods and severe weather. She mentioned that the Clerk’s Office has passport agents located on the 1st floor of CAB at 202 C Street and asks that any flood survivors call at 619-533-4000, email at [email protected], or visit our website for additional information. City Clerk Fuentes addressed those impacted are welcome to come during business hours, Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. She stated we have made available our schedule for walk-ins through Friday, March 29, 2024, to assist with the required forms, and Spanish language assistance will also be available.
