CITY OF HUNTINGTON BEACH
CITY COUNCIL MEETING — COUNCIL MEMBER ITEMS REPORT
TO: THE HONORABLE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: NATALIE MOSER, CITY COUNCIL MEMBER
DATE: APRIL 5, 2021
SUBJECT: CONSIDER COSPONSORING A VIRTUAL EVENT ON APRIL 11 WITH ORANGE
COUNTY HUMAN RELATIONS, AND DIRECTING STAFF TO COORDINATE A
DIVERSITY, EQUITY AND INCLUSION EVENT AT CENTRAL PARK ON APRIL 18
During the past year, a number of difficult and challenging events around issues of race have
highlighted a growing divide in our nation and here in our Huntington Beach community. Orange
County Human Relations has reported that in our region, we have recorded annual increases in
the number of reported hate crimes for four consecutive years.
Against that backdrop, Orange County Human Relations (OC Human Relations) is working to
coordinate an online virtual event on April 11, 2021, to encourage dialogue emphasizing the fact
that we continue to maintain a vision for our country grounded in mutual respect, acceptance,
and equality. I propose that the City of Huntington Beach cosponsor that OC Human Relations
event.
In addition, I am asking that the City Council support my request to direct staff to develop an
event focused around diversity, equity, and inclusion on April 18, 2021, at Central Park. While a
small gesture, coordinating such an event would allow our public safety teams to focus on
keeping the community safe while we address issues associated with the "White Lives Matter"
rally that will be held at the Pier on April 11, 2021. Further, hosting such an event will serve to
articulate and reinforce for our community that the City is focused on building bridges between
diverse people and cultures, and that everyone — regardless of race, gender, sexual orientation,
or socio-economic status— is welcome here in Surf City.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
I recommend that the City Council:
• Serve as an official co-sponsor of the virtual event being hosted by OC Human Relations
on April 11, 2021.
• Direct staff to develop an outdoor event focused on diversity, equity, and inclusion at
Central Park on April 18, 2021.

April I, 2021
Dear HB Councilmembers:
I support Councilmember items 21, 24 and 25, submitted for the April 5, 2021 HB City Council meeting.
Hate crimes and incidents around the country seem to have recently proliferated, and incidents within HB seem
to be on the rise as well,as reported by the Human Relations Task Force.
It is important for the City to make clear that it does not tolerate hate crimes or bigotry. Extremist elements tend
to congregate in HB for demonstrations, leaving an impression that the City and its residents tolerate such
extremist views. And as you know, HB also has a history of hate-inspired violence.
As a result, it is vital the City continue to counter any impression that it tolerates hate groups. 1 believe
Councilmember items 21, 24 and 25 will help accomplish this goal.

As a long time resident of HB of mixed decent, ENOUGH of this virtue signaling. All these STOP THE HATE campaigns do
nothing but to continue the divisions
within our community and country.
Which begs the question. EXACTLY how many hate crimes have been committed within the city over the last 10-20 years
against Latinos? Against Asians?
Against Blacks? Against Jews? Against Muslims? Against Gays? Against Transgenders?
I await your reply with data and stat5 answering my question.

Esteemed Council Members,
I'm emailing in support of agenda items 21, 24, and 25.As you know, there has been an increase in hate crimes on
a national level as well as an increased social media presence of white supremacist sentiments.Just this past week,
there were fliers dropped around Huntington Beach advertising a White Lives Matters demonstration.While it's quite
probable that the organizer is not an HB resident, we must proactively address these issues and make sure all our
residents feel safe here and know that hate speech will not be protected. As a member of the HB Human Relations Task
Force, I feel particularly invested in us addressing these issues head on with dialogue and actions that illustrate what
Huntington Beach is and what it is not. I'm tired of extremists hijacking our city's public image and giving us a bad
reputation. I attended a Stop Asian Hate rally at Mile Square Park Saturday and many of our neighbors currently feel
very unsafe, with white supremacy at the root of incidents they've experienced. Please support agenda item 21, 24 and
25.Thank you, Debbi Parrott

Hello,
My name is Thomas Meisenhelder and I am a resident of Huntington Beach.
I am writing to urge the City Council to support agenda items 21, 24, and 25. I am angered and embarrassed by
the series of recent activities that have given our city the reputation of being a hotbed of racism and white
supremacy. These items, if passed, will start our city on the path to clearly rejecting that identity.
We need to declare loudly and clearly that hate and racism have no home in HB and that there is no place for
them here.
Thank you.

- I hope this isn't even a debate. There is no place in our city for hate of any person due to race, ethnicity,
religion, or sexual orientation!
Agenda Item 24,submitted by Councilman Dan Kahnick, and asks the City Council to denounce any
movements promoting or supporting white supremacy in our city.
- Again, any need for exclusion of others in a insecure acting out, is ridiculous on its face. Caucasians are not
threatened because of the color of their skin. The white power events that are going on are sad outcry for not
being the omnipotent power of the past.
Agenda Item 25,submitted by Councilwoman Natalie Moser,to ask for the City to serve as a co sponsor for a
virtual event being hosted by the OC Human Relations on April 11 and to direct staff to develop an outdoor

Huntington Beach must take a clear stand against white supremacy. Our city has become known nationwide as a center
of white nationalist sentiment and extremist positions regarding such things as mask-wearing to prevent the spread of
COVID-19. It is past time that we reassert our commitment to decency and a celebration of diversity.

Subject: TONIGHT CC Remarks about KKK April 11th & proposals
Dear Council Members,
On April 11th, the KKK is set to use Huntington Beach as a worldwide stage to broadcast their vile racist hate and MUST
be stopped! Disgusting, terrifying and threatening propaganda is being found on doorsteps around the city and
community. Mayor Carr, and Council, what is your plan? Denouncements are good, but not enough.
Have you met with, directed HBPD Chief Harvey to use every ounce of power and authority at the city's disposal to
prevent/ end this? Are you investigating to identify the persons behind it- publicly name them and expose them, plainly
denouncing their white supremacist incitement to hate and violence, and warn that there will be the harshest of legal
consequences?We need you to assemble the strongest police force showing possible, and utilize all investigative
powers, laws and ordinances available- against hate speech threats, incitement to violence, un-permitted unlawful
assembly, blocking traffic, unlawful use of amplified sound.., all you've got.
While I urge you to pass the three proposals on tonight's agenda to this end, and I wholeheartedly do, it is not enough.
The KKK is coming here because they think that you will do nothing. They see bully racists who've come to downtown
this past year, in one guise or another, facing zero consequences. They see Tito Ortiz himself spewing hate and lies that
Black Lives Matter wanted to burn down the city and other things too disgusting to repeat, only to be named Mayor Pro
Tem! They see him engaging in all manner of bad faith provocative behavior-attacking local businesses, school districts,
and even this City Council for trying to protect our community, and getting away with it- NO vote to remove him as
Mayor Pro Tem, NO vote to censure, only coddling and interacting with him as if he's a child rather than a grown adult
man UFC fighter who's used his celebrity and office so that HB makes worldwide headlines as a hub of racists and white
supremacy (and please spare us the pretend offense and denials, Mr. Ortiz, that you as a Latino couldn't possibly harbor
or express anti black racist hate). It's an embarrassment.
This is on you, Mayor Carr and Council Members, and your lack of leadership. It is serious. It is bad, in the worst of ways,
for us and our community. If allowed to happen, it will have lasting consequences. It will not fade away or evaporate
afterwards. It will reverberate, for decades to come. It will be your legacy, to the shame of Huntington Beach.
The KKK believes that this Council is weak. They do not believe that you will back up any denouncements of hate crimes
and white supremacy with real action in concert with our PD
1
I beg you to prove them wrong.
Sincerely.

Dear Mayor Carr, Mayor Pro Tern Ortiz and Council Members Posey, Kalmick, Delgleize, Peterson, and Moser,
I am writing in support of several agenda items scheduled for the April 5, 2021 City Council Meeting and urge your
support as well.
Agenda Item 20: Domestic violence continues to be a scourge in our society. Accepting the state grant to fund a large
portion of the cost of providing domestic violence services in Huntington Beach under the authority of the Police Chief is
a logical and responsible approach to continuing efforts to reduce and eradicate domestic violence and violence against
women. Please adopt item 20.
Agenda Item 21: Huntington Beach is no place for hate. In the past several months, there has a been a documented rise
in hate crimes and hate incidents nationwide, as well as countywide. This resolution clearly states that Huntington
Beach will not tolerate such actions. Please adopt this item.
Agenda Item 24: Please adopt this item. The rise in the brazenness of white supremacists in our area is
unacceptable. Huntington Beach must remain a safe and welcoming place for all.
Agenda Item 25: Huntington Beach has maintained a good relationship with OC Human Relations. The city should uplift
the efforts of OC Human Relations to facilitate welcoming people from all backgrounds. The virtual event scheduled for
April 11 is a good opportunity to do that in an effort to show the true character of Huntington Beach while others are
planning on holding a "white lives matter' event. Furthermore, hosting a city-wide event at Central Park on April 18
emphasizing diversity and inclusion is an appropriate expression of the city's values.
Thank you,
Libby Frolichman

Subject: SUPPORT FOR CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEMS 420, 21. 24, &2S
Dear City Council,
For far too long hate, racism & intolerance have quietly been associated with the City of Huntington Beach.
More recently our city has been publically stained by the takeover of our downtown by conspiracy-soaked
dullards and malcontents seeking their 15-minutes of social media fame.
While I can appreciate the Huntington Beach residents who repeatedly claim "this isn't who we are", sadly this
is who we are until our city stops passively hosting racists, grifters, and conspiracy theorists.
I believe reaffirming our community values is a very worthwhile first step, but until the City of Huntington
Beach actively intervenes to stop the co-opting of our downtown by those seeking to propagate hate,
disinformation, and hurtful conspiracies, Huntington Beach will continue to be defined by the malignant
opportunists misusing our city's public space.
A simple reminder: hateful and intolerant rhetoric is not "Free Speech". It is Hate Speech. And the City of
Huntington Beach in no way benefits from harboring the hateful.
1 strongly support the reaffirmation of our values.
Thank You!
Sincerely,
Steve Shepherd
Huntington Beach, Ca 92646

My husband and I are residents and homeowners in Huntington Beach and are writing to support Agenda Items
21, 24, and 25.
There has been so much hatred and xenophobia in our city that it's becoming what we're known for. We have
friends who won't come to visit us because they think they're not safe here in Huntington Beach. As leaders, you
can either he silent and hope it goes away on its own (it won't), or you can take a stand for inclusion, kindness,
and peace. We urge you to take a stand and show people that Huntington Beach is a place where hatred and
violence are not welcome.
We support Agenda Item 21 denouncing hate crimes and committing our city to safety and inclusivity.
We support Agenda Item 24 denouncing all white supremacy in HB.
We support Agenda Item 25 and the co-hosting of OC Human Relations' virtual event.
Your actions show the world who we are. Please show them that we are kind and welcoming, and not the hate-
filled people they think we are.

Subject: Vote NO on White supremacy rally in HB
Dear Council members:
I am APPALLED that, once again, our city will be the staging area of a hate driven rally
called "White people matter" this Sunday. Our city already has a black eye from previous
demonstrations against black people and other people of color.
I can only hope that the City Council has the COURAGE to put an end to these divisive
rallies and other demonstrations by denouncing ALL hate crimes and/or their supporters and
by passing Agenda Items #21 and 24. 1 also support Council member Natalie Moser's motion
for the city to cosponsor the virtual Human Relations event in Agenda item #25.
In light of the fact that it is this month's commemoration of the victims of the Jewish
Holocaust on April 8th. We must NEVER AGAIN go down that road of genocide by allowing
hate to proliferate in our wonderful community.
Thank you,
Marilyn Boehm, HB

Dear Mayor and City Council Members,
Regarding Agenda Item No. 21:
I am writing to encourage you to support Mayor Can-and Councilmember Kalmick's efforts at denouncing all
manner of hate crimes and encourage you to state that the City of Huntington Beach values all people and is
committed to the safety of all people who live in, work in, or visit the City of Huntington Beach.
Regarding Agenda Item No. 24:
Given the recent news stories about a potential white supremacy rally that may be held in Huntington Beach, I
urge you to denounce any movement that fosters and encourages the beliefs that one race or ethnicity is better
than any other race or ethnicity.
Regarding Agenda Item No. 25:
1 encourage the City Council to support Council Member Moser s proposal that the City co-sponsor with the
Orange County Human Relations Commission a virtual event focused on the themes of societal diversity,
inclusion, and equity.
1 am a 30+ year resident and homeowner in the City, and as a business owner in the City, 1 am increasingly
concerned that the City of Huntington Beach is being defined as a focal point of racial strife.

Councilmen and women,
I am in favor of the two items to denounce hate crimes and movements supporting white supremacy in our city. We
must have it on public record to be inclusive.
Our city is stained with a history of prejudice and inequality. It is long past time to be repelled. The white supremacists
among us are our downfall. With all of the national attention, it can be actually embarrassing to this 6th generation
California to call Huntington home since 1978.

Subject:Agenda items 24&25 for Apr 5th
I am writing in support of these 2 resolutions, which appear to be synergistic.
Both of these resolutions are aimed at reducing the impact of outside hate groups in Huntington Beach. For
reasons that I don't entirely understand, HB has become a focal point for racist demonstrations, to the point
where my friends on the East Coast comment on the appearance of Huntington Beach on the news - for bad
reasons. I know that these demonstrations are often driven by outside groups, but it is difficult to discem that
from the 60 second reports on national news. This kind of publicity is not only embarrassing to our residents,
but hurts the image of a town that depends on tourism.
Positive actions like the resolutions of Council members Kalmick and Moser will help dispel the idea that these
racist demonstrations occur here because they are welcomed by the City.
Thank you for your action,
Robert B Banzett PhD

Subject:Agenda items 21, 24,and 25
I know this is submitted too late but here is my opinion:
Item 21 Submitted by Mayor Carr and Councilmember Kalmick- The City of Huntington Beach Denounces All
Hate Crimes and Reaffirms Its commitment To Safety and Inclusivity For All.
Item 24 Submitted by Councilmember Kalmick- The City of Huntington Beach Denounces Any Movements
Promoting White Supremacy Within Its Community.
Item 25 Submitted by Councilmember Moser- Consider Cosponsoring a Virtual Event on April 11 with Orange
County Human Relations, and directing staff to coordinate a Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Event at Central
Park on April 18
Hate crimes, White Supremacy, Diversity, Equity and Inclusiveness are undefined or ill-defined terms meant to
stimulate emotions rather than convey meaning. They are exercises in meaningless virtue signaling at best and
mischievous at worst. In practice, this terminology is used to foment division in the community and undermine
the principle of equal justice under the law. Resolutions of this type should never be submitted and these three
should be rejected by the council.

Diversity, equity and inclusion event As a long time resident of HB of mixed decent, ENOUGH of this virtue signaling. All
these STOP THE HATE campaigns do nothing but to continue the divisions within our community and country. Which begs
the question. EXACTLY how many hate crimes have been committed within the city over the last 10-20 years against Latinos?
Against Asians? Against Blacks? Against Jews?Against Muslims?Against Gays? Against Transgenders? I await your reply
with data and stats answering my question. Respectfully Chuck Burns 714 369-7384
