Subject: Item 16 E- OPPOSE /TRAVEL MONEY- NEEDED FOR OTHER THINGS
EXTERNAL
I am morally against the use of City funds for any of this when there is no money for needed services that are vital for residents. This is a vanity trip to a country because they invited us to promote themselves? Come on..
There is no money for hybrid meetings for our Housing Commission but we have money for this? I don't care if it's earmarked.. un‐earmark it and use it for something that benefits us all . Not this. Vote NO E. Request of Councilmembers Parra, de la Torre, and Mayor Pro Tem Negrete that the Council authorize the use of their travel funds to accept an invitation from the Embassy of El Salvador to visit the country from November 6-10, 2023. The agenda includes meeting the ambassador and various government officials to discuss public safety, education, and tourism as well as evaluating beach communities for future sister city partnerships.
