EXTERNAL
Dear Mayor Davis and Esteemed Councilmembers:

Please deny Councilmember Zwick's request to use his travel funds to cover the registration fees and travel expenses associated with attending the YIMBYtown Annual Conference to be held February 26-28, 2024 in Austin, TX.

This request demonstrates disrespect for the ongoing debate around outsized and excessive market rate housing development in Santa Monica and its impacts on the City's financial health, infrastructure, emergency response, unique character, and many other public resources.

Councilmember Zwick should not be allowed to use our public money to pay for such an ideologically controversial and overtly political experience, and one which is completely unnecessary to doing his job as a Councilmember.

Thank you for your consideration.

Sincerely,
Ann Bowman
Resident, 27 years

Thanks!

2 How sneaky to slip this in ... use your own money Zwick‐ ‐you voted no money for hybrid meetings for the Housing Commission ‐ if your friend Camner were still on it I bet you would pay for it yourself ‐ you want to go to this ‐ pay for it yourself ‐ and no way you represent this town at it...
