REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION
SUBMITTED TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
SUBMITTED BY: Oliver Chi, City Manager
PREPARED BY: Oliver Chi, City Manager
Subject:
Determination of City Council Vacancy Appointment Process
Statement of Issue:
Former Mayor Pro Tem Jacob "Tito" Ortiz resigned his seat on the City Council effective June 1
Pursuant to Section 312 of the Huntington Beach Charter, vacancies are to be filled by an
appointment of the City Council within 60 days. Further, the Charter stipulates that if the City Council
fails to fill the vacancy within the specified timeframe, a special election must then be held to fill the
vacant role
Since the mid-1990s, the City has had to fill a vacancy on the City Council three separate times.
After reviewing those past practices, staff would recommend adopting an appointment process that
includes the following assessment components:
• Submittal of applications from interested individuals
• Introductory interviews for applicants to address the City Council
• Final deliberation and selection of the individual to fill the vacancy
If the City Council is unable to select an individual to fill the vacancy by July 31, 2021 , the City will be
required then to fill the seat through an election. Given that timeframe, the proposed assessment and
appointment process timeline is suggested to be as follows:
• June 11 - June 25: Applications accepted from interested residents until 5 p.m. on June 25
• July 9 - 11 (exact dates TBD): Conduct interviews with applicants during a public meeting
• July 20: Appointment to the vacant seat would be considered at the July 20 meeting

Financial Impact:
There are minimal costs associated with coordinating the selection process as outlined above.
Recommended Action:
Finalize the City Council vacancy appointment process to include application submittals, introductory
interviews, and final deliberation and selection by the City Council.
Alternative Action(s):
If the City Council vacancy is not filled by way of appointment, a special election would have to be
coordinated at an estimated cost of approximately $1.0 million.
Analysis:
In developing the recommended City Council vacancy appointment process, staff researched the
appointment processes used by the City previously. An overview of those past appointment
processes include the following:
• Jim Silva
o Mr. Silva was elected in 1992 to serve a term through December 1996.
o Mr. Silva resigned January 2, 1995. and Tom Harmon was appointed on January 23.
1995, to serve the remaining 1 year and 11 months left on the term.
o The selection process involved accepting applications from interested individuals, City
Council interviews with interested parties, and finalizing the selection of Tom Harmon at
the January 23, 1995 meeting.
• Dave Garofalo
o Mr. Garofalo was elected in 1998 to serve a term through December 2002.
o Mr. Garofalo resigned December 26, 2001, and Grace Winchell was appointed on
February 2, 2002, to serve the remaining 10 months left on the term.
o The selection process involved accepting applications from interested individuals, City
Council interviews with interested parties, and finalizing the selection of Grace Winchell
at the February 2, 2002 meeting.
• Pam Houchen
o Ms. Houchen was elected in 2000 to serve a term through December 2004.
o Ms. Houchen resigned September 2, 2004, and Grace Winchell was appointed on
November 1 , 2004, to serve the remaining 1 month left on the term.
o The selection process involved accepting applications from interested individuals, and
finalizing the selection of Grace Winchell at the October 18, 2004 meeting.
Given our historical City Council vacancy appointment practices, it is recommended that the City
Council direct staff to coordinate a process that includes the following components:
• June 11 - June 25: Applications accepted from interested residents until 5 p.m. on June 25

Honorable City Council Members,
You have a responsibility to honor the people's vote. In last November's election, Gracey Van
Der Mark was the 151 runner up in the city council election. She is the person who deserves to
fill the open seat on the city council and serve the remaining term. As a longtime resident of
Huntington Beach, myself and thousands of people across this country will be watching to see
if the council respects the vote of the people.

Subject: HONOR THE VOTE
On Tuesday 6/1, Councilman Tito Ortiz resigned from city council, Our city
charter calls for the vacancy to be "appointed by the current city
council". Section 312(a) of the City Charter reads, "A vacancy in the City
Council or in any other office designated as elective by this Charter, from
whatever cause arising, shall be filled by appointment by the City Council."
I firmly believe that this appointment belongs to the 1st runner up in the
election, Gracey Van Der Mark, after earning 23,365 votes....and she did it
the "old fashion" way, walking miles and miles, knocking on doors and earning
those votes.

Dear Honorable City Council Members,
Please select Gracey Van Der Mark for the vacant City Council seat.
Just over three month ago Gracey participated in the City Council election process and came in 4th place earning 23,365
votes. Since the election, Gracey has been serving on the Planning Commission. She has proven her will to serve the
community.
By selecting the 4th place candidate is listening to the vote of the people and is a non-partisan selection.
Thanks you,

HAving lived in Fountain VAlley for over 40 years, I have witnessed the gradual decline in
Huntington Beach traffic problems, high density housing resembling Chicago and New York
desolate projects, and the cheapening of values the majority of your city council vote and
approve of. What a Travesty, a total misuse of power! You can partly make up for your
disgusting past by appointing the only person who fairly should be the replacement seat on the
council. &racy Van Der Mark.

first runner-up in the election.She earned her votes, 23,365 of them,by her hard work and determination.She was not bought
by special interest groups II PLEASE pick Gracey to fill this seat on the council.

Notes
There Is a procedure for placing a person on the city council by the number of votes given to them by the electorate. If we as
a city government are going to skirt that procedure then there would be no reason to even hold an election.The first three
places were honored by the voters.The fourth place person should be next in line to fill a vacancy regardless of how that
vacancy came about. If in the next election we don't like a person who placed 1,2 or 3,we can just go around and choose
which person we do like.The citizens of HB can work just as hard to un-seat a member of the city council as we do to put a
member on It. I think the council members should think about this when It comes time for them to re re-elected. Gracey
VanDer Mark was given the next qualifying number of votes regardless of how you or I feel about that person. So when It
comes to your decision,she is the one to replace the vacancy that was vacated by Tito Ortis.

Subject: Dom Jones for HB City Council...here's why..
Hello to the I-IB CC,
This is why I deeply desire as a 39 year FIB resident, for Dom Jones to be appointed to City Council to fill the
current vacancy. What you all must understand, is this: the simple fact that she hasn't run or been around you all
for a very long time is not reason to keep her from office.
The truth is, that this is her time to rise and do what God has sent her to this earth to do,which is to unite all
people. She is beyond capable of that and mesmerized everyone she meets with who she is and her deeply
loving way. She has literally changed my life and countless many others and Huntington Beach needs her
desperately. Dom sees people's souls in a way noone I know can or does.
What you you may not understand about her, is that she is who will help you shift the entire cities energy. I
respect Oscar, however despite his time in running before, he is younger, has less life wisdom and Dom has
lived and is extremely diplomatic. Dom is not for just one community and we here in Huntington Beach KNOW
THIS. This is why she has our vote and at least 20 other people I know, and that's just in my immediate friend
circle!
We are business owners, lawyers, doctors, nurses, home owners, retirees and stay at home mothers. We want
Dom because she allows Huntington Beach residents across all socioeconomic statuses to feel important, loved
and honored. Whether we are white, Latino, black, asian or anything else. I never thought I'd vote for a
Democrat. However, by knowing and seeing Dom work, I've decided I will change my voting style to
Democratic. She has that kind of ability to change hearts and minds! I can tell you now, I know multiple people
who are Republicans and they are changing their votes to Democrat votes and even a few are switching parties
all together!! This is the type of individual that HB NEEDS very very badly.
Oscar isn't a bad person and 1 know he intends well. However the needs of the constituents of ALL, need to
usurp personal alliances. I'm telling you now, you will be able to tndy make the WI IOLE city, with Dom,
exactly what I know you all envision. A city that shows kindness and removes the stains of white supremacy
and hate its garnered.
Furthermore, politically Dom is the smarter pick. Why? Again, I'm an example she will help you all mobilize
notjust 1 group but SO MANY REPUBLICANS in the city would stand with you more because of her! She is
unbelievable, and if you go deep within yourselves, 1 think you can feel that. I leave you with the following
theories and perspectives that myself along with 3 households of others have put together and brain stormed.
t
37
Not to mention all those households are Republican with 3 other Democratic families. Dom has brought us
together.
Here's a question,
What would be best for the Democratic & Republican parties in HB?
Oscar goes in first lets evaluate:
1. Oscar stands for the Oakview community. Which is wonderful, as he should continue to support and be a
voice to them.
2. He's aware of political things and has experience to some degree
3. He ran before
4. He has been around the party and FIB a while...
Dom goes in 1 st let's evaluate:
1. Dom stands for Oakview, all minorities. Lalinas, African-Americans, Asians, caucasian americans and
anyone who is simply HUMAN.
2. Dom may not have been heavily involved before or ran. However, she's a fast learner, unlike anything anyone
has seen. She is sharp and can and will get things done. Her business has literally THRIVED through the
Pandemic while the fitness industry in totality was eviscerated during the pandemic. She fought for the
community to stand and keep going. She's relentless and has boundless positive energy.
3. Dom is a tried and true business owner within the HB Community. Having had an established brick and
mortar for nearly 4 years and has built a communtiy of I00s and has served 1000's in tier business.
i
4. Dom has built connections with ALL HB residents of every walk of life and background. She appeals to
young and older. Everyone I know over 55 WILL vote for her and nominate her for this appointment. We all
feel she has paid her dues by building so much in HB.
5. Dom spans the breadth and width of what FIB needs in its government.
6. She has connections with business oagters and can build stronger and healthier relationships between CC and
the communtiy business owners.
7. Dom is a representation of UNITY. The ultimate person who fights to Harmonize and can actually
ACHIEVE it. She's proven it. Her business is diverse and HB residents of every income level enjoy her health
and wellness space.
8. Dom understands people of all income levels. She can speak to the lower income woman with a job at a
department store and to a lawyer making 6 figures with the same exact respect and understanding of who they
are.
2
38
9. Not all people have to go through the politically ringer in campaigns to show who they are. Dom has been
within I-IB and working with the communtiy for over 7 years, she has PROVEN herself to the highest degree.
The BIG question:
What does Huntington Beach need NOW?
Answer: Oakview is an important community in HB and yes they need Oscar and he WILL serve them because
he cares for them. Dom will even work with him and love him for what he does, because that's who she is!! She
will help him lift up the communities that need help in HB
However, Oakview isn't an existential threat to Huntington Beach.
WHITE SUPREMACY is and the pain this city is under. Please don't be mistaken the city is in pain.
It is whats on the news, and what has inflicted a stain on the city NATIONALLY.
What is the antidote to that?
Dom. She is the literal antidote to what afflicts not just one community but an entire city.
Dom is so very humble and willing to help along with the council, to create the UNITY that HB so desperately
needs MORE THAN ANYTHING. Which will also only help communities like Oakview and other minority
and disenfranchised groups that she will inherently stand up for.
Dom is what Huntington Beach needs. When people say the name: Huntington Beach now, everyone thinks:
white supremacy, hate, vitriol, rage and negativity.
Dom is LITERALLY the balm of Gilead to the pain of our home. She also loves this home, she is a property
owner of multiple homes, she is who WE want standing up for us! She gets our needs because she is one of us
also.
She has proven her accumcn in this area, as a business owner who has brought unity already to a large group
within the city.
This appointment, shouldn't be just about, who knows who. It should and it MUST be about who has the most
skill, sharpness, and ability to wield more than a monolith and Dom is that to the Apex. She is fit for this
position. She is fit for this time. She is fit for Huntington Beach. Regardless of not having past previous
experience in running for an appointment. She has the most precious experience that exists above all: An
unabiding LOVE for all and a magical and undeniable ability to bridge ALL divides, an in her beautiful way,
Dom is the ultimate helper, sweet-hearted and thoughtful change-maker.
I
Dom is what the Democratic & Republican Party need right now in Huntington Beach. She is the answer. No
matter his connections, it's not Oscar who is the answer, but Dom is beautiful. She will honor him always and
that's who myself along with countless others desire by your side.
i
Its Dom Jones.
This is her time, and inherently that means this is our time, to unite with her.
Please be the angels that lift her to where she is meant to be, after working for so long in the city as she has.
All the Best,
M. L. Kimpton

Dear City Council;
I am not in favor of filling the council seat with Gracey Van Der Mark as I feel she has similar beliefs

this Charter, from whatever cause arising, shall be filled by
appointment by the City Council." We must honor the will of

Hello,
I am a member of this community, I also served my country with honor and distinction. I am now a retired military
veteran. I've traveled many places but chose Huntington Beach as my home because of what this city means to me.
I write this today to heavily encourage that the vacant council seat be filled by the person that did not get voted in on
the last City Council election, but had the next highest amount of votes.That person is Gracey Van Der Mark.
I feel confident that she would provide the proper balance that this council needs. She is authentic, intelligent and
articulate.She values all opinions and all people. I want her to help represent Huntington Beach.
We all know what happened to Tito.The constant harrassing and taunting of him and his family should be highly
condemned by this council.The persons(we all know who they are) that are mainly responsible for this harassment
should be excluded from any city and any council positions and should absolutely not be appointed to fill this vacant
one.
am very proud that the city of Huntington Beach supports all people regardless of political affiliation, race, religion,
ethnicity and other personal choices.
would heavily encourage the current City Council to place Gracey in the vacant council seat.
We need balance in our City Council to fairly represent all people of this beautiful city.
Thank you for your consideration.

Dear City Councilmembers,
Tito Ortiz resigned from the FIB City Council and now you need to appoint a replacement. I am urging you as a
community member to consider Dom Jones. j
I know Dom very well. I've spent significant time getting to know her platform and wish for the community.
Dom has the ability to unify both sides of the political spectrum. Dom can help to heal the city. She is a fitness
business owner in the city with a brick & mortar location, she is black american, and her boyfriend is
vietnamese american. I attended her most recent community event that also drew many Latinx and white i
residents. She is a unifying voice that represents a healing approach to the bifurcated angst that we've seen
blow-up in FIB.
i
Dom has real plans for action for homeless, budget, blight, business, race relations, and community services.
Most importantly, Dom is a Servant Leader. She is not selfish. She is not focused on one perspective. She
does not have strings attached to big business. She is exactly what I IB needs to replace Tito Ortiz.
Thank you!
Sincerely,
I

terrible blow to our outstanding city and her appointment would only attract more racists and anti-Semitic types
to our city. Please don't tarnish Huntington Beach! Businesses will refuse to come here and no one
respectable will move here.
Oscar Rodriguez is a much better choice.

Please choose Oscar Rodriguez as city council member. Fie is a caring, active member of our community. He
led the push to clean-up the Rainbow Disposal site. He led food drives during the pandemic for the Oak View
Community. The city council needs representation from the Latino community. He would be a great addition to

Dear Huntington Beach City Council:
I understand there is an open seat on your City Council. I'm writing in hopes that Ms. Dom Jones be nominated
and appointed to serve on the Huntington Beach City Council.
Dom Jones is an amazing community leader, and I believe she'd have a very positive impact in this role.
Dom Jones is uniquely qualified to serve in this capacity. She is a true facilitator, and listens with an j
empathetic ear. I
I
Dom stands for the principle of Equality. She cares about and believes in people... she embodies "Love." She
is a"Unites."
Dom would definitely bring great energy and strong insights to the Council.
I know her personally (through her fitness studio) —she is very passionate about serving the HB communityl
I appreciate this opportunity to share my sincere thoughts about Dom Jones.
Respectfully,

Dear 1-113 City Council Members,
Tito Ortiz resigned from the LIB City Council, and now you have a very important appointment as a
replacement. I am a 25 year Huntington Beach resident and I am urging you to please promote Dom Jones to
this position.
Dom has the ability to unify both sides of the political spectrum. Right now that council is split 50/50. Dom
can bridge that gap.
Dom can heal the city. She is a fitness business owner in the city with a brick & mortar location, she is black
american, and her boyfriend is vietnamese american. I attended her most recent community event that also
drew many Latinx and white residents. She is a unifying voice that represents a healing approach to the
bifurcated angst that we've seen blow-up in FIB.
Dom has real plans for action for homeless, budget, blight, business, race relations, and community services.
Most importantly, Dom is a Servant Leader. She is not selfish. She is not focused on one perspective. She
does not have strings attached to big business. She is exactly what FIB needs to replace Tito Ortiz.
Thank you so much for your consideration!

Subject: Recent Council vacancy
I noticed with interest the recent council vacancy and would like to suggest
Oscar Rodriguez as a suitable candidate for that position. Oscar has been an
activist in the community for several years, most recently during the pandemic
helping some of our most economically disadvantaged with food donations and
vaccination clinics. He is a natural community organizer and would work towards
the best interest of the city.
while many of those among my loyal opposition might suggest the 4th largest vote
getter in the most recent election I would hope the council would not take their
suggestion seriously. I believe that candidate has many of the same drawbacks as
the recently resigned councilperson if not more and believe that person would be
divisive and represent only a small portion of the electorate.
Congratulations to Councilperson Delgleize on her appointment to the Mayor Pro
Tem position for the remainder of that term. I know she will do a wonderful job.
Thank you for your time and consideration of Oscar Rodriguez.

It's time to reject the anti-science stance and divisiveness of the prior occupant of the City Council seat.
I support the appointment of Oscar Rodriguez to the vacant City Council seat. It is important that Huntington Beach
includes a Latino member of the council to represent that otherwise underrepresented segment of our population. In
addition, Mr. Rodriguez has demonstrated his dedication to the community and his ability to get along with people of
different backgrounds and opinions.
I also urge you to reject the calls to appoint Gracey Van Der Mark to the seat. She is a known racist, anti-Semite, and
anti-masker.We've been down that road, and it only leads to disaster.
Thank you,

Mayor Carr and City Council members,
I want to offer my thoughts on the appointment of a new City Council member. To give a frame of reference, I
did not vote for Mr. Ortiz. I did not believe he would represent my values and goals for Huntington Beach.
I do, however, feel it is important to recognize that many people in this city do not share my views. It is
because of that, I feel the right thing to do is to appoint Gracey Van Der Mark. I believe this appointment will
demonstrate that our council strives to represent our entire community. As the recipient of the next highest
number of votes receive in the election, it also reflects the voice of Huntington Beach voters.
Thanks to you all for the many hours you dedicate to be well-informed, involved representatives of
Huntington Beach. 1 appreciate it greatly.
Respectfully,
Lindsay DuFresne

Dear Councilmembers
Making the choice of who to replace Tito Ortiz on the Huntington Beach City Council is bound to be a very difficult
decision for the council members no matter who you choose. But nonetheless you need to do it, and hopefully choose a
candidate who is best qualified for the job. The last thing HB needs is a repeat of the Tito Ortiz fiasco —drawing more
negative publicity on the city.
In that spirit, I would like to recommend Oscar Rodriguez as the new member of the City Council. For many years, Oscar
has contributed hundreds if not thousands of hours of hard work helping the disadvantaged in our community,
particularly Latinos. He has been a real hero during these worst of times, not only contributing his own hard work but
encouraging others to work with him. And yet, he keeps a low-profile,which would be a welcome relief from Tito.
No matter who is appointed, there will be dissent. Please at least accept that, and go forward with appointing the best
candidate,who I believe to be Oscar, rather than trying to pick one based on who will be disliked the least.
Let's go for quality, suitability, and a proven track record this time.

I-lello city council members,
I'm writing to support the appointment of Gracey Van Der Mark to the open seat of city council. Gracey
received 4th place in the last election, has stayed active in city business on the planning commission, and is
approachable and dedicated to the city of HB. Gracey represents the values that most FIB residents voted for last
year. Please choose Gracey.
Yours,

Hello,
Hoping you can answer a few questions For me regarding the CC replacement seat for Tito
Ortiz.
I understand our City Charter fairly well, however I was wondering if Council picks from a
"list"? Also can any HB resident "apply" to be considered for the position, and if so how does
one go about that process?
Looking forward to hearing back from you soon.
All the best,

Subject:Tito's replacement on City Council
Dear Council members,
As a resident of Huntington Beach 1 am very concerned with the replacement chosen for Tito Ortiz. I
understand that others came had more votes in the election than Oscar Rodriquez. However, Oscar would be a
better council member than more individuals with philosophies aligned with Tito's.
If the city charter allows discretion, please appoint Oscar:
1) 20-25 %of the population of HB is Latino/Latina. Minority voices must be elevated to address equality and
equity throughout HB. The face of America is changing and we need more people of color in leadership
positions for a more equitable and stronger sustained city growth model.
2) Oscar is an active community member, who volunteers regularly, addressing food shortages for those in
need. He has experience assessing and addressing the pockets of low food access for 1-18's low-income
communities. He will apply his resourcefulness toward ALL 1-113 residents.
3) The highest concentrations of poverty in HB are centered around Latino populations, with little to no Latino
representation at the City leadership level to address the unique challenges that Latinos face.
4) In OC, less than 20% of Latino adults have an associates degree or higher. Oscar has earned an MBA and
will serve as a role model to I IB's Latino youth.
Oscar Rodriquez is the right person for the position.
Sincerely, Deborah Lelchuk

Dear Mayor and Council Members,
I would like to encourage you to appoint Oscar Rodriguez to fill the seat on the City Council vacated by Mr. j
Ortiz. As you know, he is active in the Oak View Community. He ran for City Council to give a voice to this
under represented part of Huntington Beach. Oscar has earned an MBA and serves as a role model to the cities
Latino youth. During the pandemic Oscar started a weekly food drive to help those in the community who were
experiencing food insecurity.
i
The other candidate Gracey Van Der Mark on the other hand, has associated with racist and antisemitic people
and organizations. Her beliefs stirred controversy while serving on the City's Finance Commission. During the
Pandemic she spent her time protesting masks and disputing the outcome of the 2020 election. Her views will
bring additional unwanted negative attention to our City. I think we can all agree we have had enough of that
lately.
For the reasons stated above I believe Oscar Rodriguez would best represent the City and our city motto, One
H B.
Thank you for your consideration.
I

I am writing in regards to the new open position that Tito Ortiz has vacated, celebration to be had for sure! I
understand that you are looking at both Gracey Van Der Mark and Oscar Rodriguez to take his seat. I highly recommend
that you choice Oscar Rodriguez. His concern about the community is apparent. He has helped those in need during the
Pandemic and still is. I believe he has the best interests of the city and will do what is right for everyone in HB. Gracey
Van Der Mark seems to be about spreading lies and not for all the people.
Please choose Oscar Rodriguez for the council member to replace Tito Ortiz. Lets please not have more of what we just
got rid of.

Dear madam/sir:
The candidates listed recently as potential replacements of Tito Ortiz on the HB City Council are woefully underqualified.
urge you to select a more capable candidate that represents our city and its common values. If possible, someone
neither hardcore left or right, but experienced in city government, and who would dedicate his/her self to this position.

Subject:Appointment to fill the Vacancy of Tito Ortiz
Good afternoon Council.
I know you are discussing filling the vacancy of Tito Ortiz,so I feel it's important that we begin the conversation on the
proper, fair, logical and democratic process of deciding who should fill this vacancy.
I understand what our Charter states and I understand that you can choose who fills this vacancy. We all preach
democracy, equality and fairness and the truly democratic procedure would be to Honor The Vote and appoint the
individual that received the next highest votes in the November 2020 election, regardless of who that person is.
Gracey Van Der Mark received 23,365 votes which is 1,669 votes higher than the next candidate. If you truly believe in
democracy,there is no counter argument to filling the vacancy with the first runner up from an election that was just 7
months ago rather than someone you hand pick.This makes your decision easy as this is the most logical, fair and
democratic way to fill this vacancy.This is essentially a full term appointment and the Will of The People needs to be
respected.
The residents are frustrated, tired and feel that the majority of Council does not listen to or represent the will of the
people.This is your chance to remedy that by Honoring The Vote of The People. Please do the right thing and respect
the voters decision. Please appoint Gracey Van Der Mark to fill the vacancy. i
Thank you.

IIlM11NGTOM YKX
City Council Vacancy Exists
• Former Mayor Pro Tern Tito Ortiz resigned his seat on the City Council effective
June 1
• Pursuant to Charter Section 312, vacancies on the City Council are to be filled by
appointment within 60 days
—Given that the vacancy was created on June 1, the City Council has until July 31 to fill the vacant
position by appointment
• If the City Council fails to fill the vacancy within the 60-day time period, an
election must then be held to fill the vacant seat
—Based on the latest estimates that obtained from the Orange County Registrar's Office, the election
would likely have to be held as a stand-alone election at a cost of approximately $1 million

• 6/14/2021
Historical Precedent For Filling City Council Vacancies
Since the mid-1990's, the City Council has had to appoint an individual to fill a
vacancy on three separate occasions
—Jim Silva—1995:Elected in 1992 to serve o term lasting through December 1996
•Mr.Silva resigned his seat on January 2, 1995
•Tom Harmon was appointed on January 23, 1995,to serve out the remaining 1 year and it months left on
the term
—Dave Garofalo—2001:Elected in 1998 to serve a term through December 2002
•Mc Garofalo resigned his seat on December 26,2001
>Grace Winchell was appointed on February 2,2002,to serve out the remaining 10 months left on the term
—Pam Houchen—2004:Elected in 2000 to serve a term through December 1004
>Ms.Houchen resigned September 2,2004
>Grace Winchell was appointed on November 1,2004,to serve the remaining 1 month left on the term
Appointment Process Options
• Based on past practices, the City Council appointment process has typically
included an application process, an interview with interested applicants, and a
final selection by the City Council
—The process engaged in 1995 and 2001 preceding the selections of Tom Harmon and Grace
Winchell included an application process and interviews prior to the final determination
—The process used in 20G4 to select Grace Winchell Ito serve a one-month term)only included an
application process prior to the final determination
• 6/14/2021
Suggested Appointment Process To Fill Current Vacancy
• Given our historical appointment process practices, it is recommended that the
City Council direct staff to coordinate a selection process that includes the
following components:
-Application Process
>Open application process on June 11
>Applications would be accepted until 5 p.m.on June 25
-CityCouncilInterviews w/Applicants
>Depending on the number of applicants, coordinate interviews with applicants between July 9-11

Subject: Replacing councilman Ortiz
I have submitted the following letter to the HB City Council at City.Council@surfcity-hb.com
You may wish to provide them with your own opinion.
I urge the Council to fill the vacancy left by Mr. Ortiz's resignation by appointing Gracey Van Der Mark for the following
reasons:
1. Gracey Van Der Mark received the next highest number of votes in the November 3, 2020 election.
2. Gracey Van Der Mark ran on a slate with Mr. Ortiz and Mr. McKeon. Replacing Mr. Ortiz wit Gracey Van Der Mark
would maintain the political balance established by the voters.
3. The temptation to replace Mr. Ortiz with someone aligned with Mayor Carr and Councilmembers Kalmick and Moser,
thus creating a 4-3 block, should be resisted. Combined with the perception that Mr. Ortiz was harassed out of office by
this same block, and the fact that the other three councilmembers would be rendered irrelevant the resultant Council
would lack legitimacy in the eyes of voters. Policies enacted under these circumstances would likely be at radical odds
with the will of the majority of residents. Wisdom would see this situation as in no one's interest.

I am re-submitting my letter regarding the vacant City Council seat It appears to me, not all letters submitted from
residents are included in file 21-470 titled Public Comments received 6/2-6/9 that is attached to the agenda for tonight's
City Council meeting. This concerns me as I feel each resident who submits their thoughtsiopinions to City Council should
be heard I do know my letter was written and received on June 2 as I did receive a generic response regarding the
meeting for appointment of Mayor Pro Tern from Robin Estanislau, CMC, City Clerk However, my reply requesting
confirmation my email was shared with City Council regarding filling the vacant council seat went unanswered It also
concerns me that the original 100 plus letters sent to City Council are not included in the file below yet attached to the

Tito Ortiz was overwhelmingly this town's
chosen candidate and he should still be here
but he was relentlessly attacked, stooping so
low as to go after his kids to silence his
diversity of thought. They should not be
rewarded for their racist intolerance. We do
not want to be controlled by dirty greed-driven
politics like this which determines that only
minorities who stay in line can stay on city
council.
Tito Ortiz ran alongside Gracey Vandermark and Casey McKeon, both whom 1 know love and want to protect
this town and its residents. Gracey got the fourth most votes by the thousands. Given the despicable nature of
the attacks on Mr. Ortiz, his vacant seat should go to the next person with the most votes who was also his like-
minded mmning mate. Our town rejects being led by greed,deceit and racism which appropriates skin color to
get what it wants and then attacks to silence the person when it cannot own his voice. The worst thing you
could do is put in a person strictly on his skin color because you do own his voice. Only an extremely racist

I support Gracey obtaining the vacant city council seat. It should not go to wrongdoers who sought to silence
Mr. Ortiz. It's time we stopped pretending that protecting greed is a virtue and call it out for what it is,
especially when it behaves so despicably. Unlike them I know Gracey devotes much of her time protecting
children. We need more people on this city council whose heart desire is to leave better for the next generation
in this town instead of just selling it out and destroying it.
If the city council truly wants to protect the diversity of our town this empty seat should not go to someone who
aligned with those who attacked Mr. Ortiz. They are the same ones who relentlessly spread lies to slander
Gracey because she threatens their greed and exposes who the biggest racists in our town actually are. Evil
likes to accuse others of what it itself is guilty of to to turn the spotlight away from its despicable self.
There are so many good and decent people in Huntington Beach. Don't let the worst of us define us. We don't
have a racism problem in HB, we have a greedy elitism problem which can't shut up about skin color while
being intolerant of diversity of thought. For those who attack Latinos who step out of line what the hell do you
think that makes YOU? City Council - honor the vote and give Gracey the seat she deserves or confirm that our
town is run on greed and seeks to hide only behind compliant skin color which serves it. Viva diversity of
thought -the REAL definition of tolerance. Tito Ortiz' haters defined themselves to be the biggest racists in our
town. Don't reward them for it.
Thank you.

Honorable Commissioners.
For the sake of peace and unity, please don't drag the city through a process that will no doubt be controversial and
decisive.
We had a recent election abs we should honor those results by placing Gracey Van Der Mark into the vacant City Council
seat.
I understand her politics may not align with some, but differing views and opinions represent a healthy council and are
reflective of our city.
We need to find better ways to come together as a city and don't need more controversy.
So please, for the sake of unity, honor the vote.
And if for some reason you can't find your way to place Gracey into the vacant seat, feel free to pick me...
All the best, Bill

Subject: City Council Appointment - My Two Cents
I know you guys are getting hundreds of emails regarding the filling of Tito's vacancy. So here are my two cents on the
issue:
I think it would be great to select a qualified person that does not have baggage, we just went through that with Tito. It
would be really nice to keep Huntington Beach out of the national news for a while.
I know you are getting many email for Gracey but I do not support her being appointed. While I do understand she
received the next higher amount of votes. You have to remember she ran with Tito, so who knows how many votes she
would have received if Tito had not run. The problem with Gracey is she does have baggage, I am sure you have all seen
the pictures. If she gets appointed I am sure these pictures will resurface and could make national news. Sadly Hb still
has the reputation of being a town that has many white supremacist and the pictures of her with known white
supremacist is not good. We DON'T NEED THAT. So I DO NOT SUPPORT GRACEY.
Now as much as I do not agree with a lot of his stances on some issues and the city needs balance. I think Casey
McKeon would be a great choice, he is a young very smart candidate. He is a USC graduate and has worked in the
community for years. His family has very long roots in HB and owns one of the oldest family owed HB businesses. Like I
said before I don't always agree with him but I think he would do a great job for the city.
Thanks for taking the time to read this.

Dear Councilmembers,
Ap�nd. Inm No.• I - 4
The famous Sally Field quote when she won an Academy Award, "You like me, you
really, really like me!" could be changed up to reflect how this council feels about us, the
residents of Huntington Beach..."You hate us, you really, really hate us!" You,
the majority of council, don't listen to us. You despise our comments at council
meetings and look at us with contempt if we dare have beliefs and ideas that don't align
with you. It seems obvious that the memo came down from the Police Union to the
majority of this council, the Union puppets (Carr, Moser, Kalmick, Posey and Delgleize)
to delay appointing a replacement for Tito, delay, delay, delay! Delay and deflect until
the residents aren't paying attention. What other reason could there be for this Council's
and the City Manager's latest stunt to now want to take applications and do interviews
for replacement candidates? This Council (with the exception of Erik Peterson) does not
speak for the residents, you represent the unions. Oliver Chi does not represent us, the
voters. Chi is just another Yes Man for the unions, we didn't pick him, the unions
selected him. The majority of this council think they know what's best for us. WE THE
VOTERS know what's best for us and we have already spoken, in November 2020. We
overwhelmingly elected Tito Ortiz, which the majority of this council, along with future
hopeful candidates, conspired to get rid of, with their smear and slander campaign and
attacks on his family. He represented us! Ms. Moser and Mr. Kalmick were elected with
union money. Mr. Kalmick also found it necessary to ride the coattails of Mr. Ortiz's fame
with the misleading campaign mailer, suggesting he and Tito were a team, all bought
and paid for by the police union. Further evidence that the majority of you do not
represent us! Now this Council is attempting to further deny us, the voters of
representation by this special meeting agenda, Item 1. The only solution for selecting
Mr. Ortiz's replacement should be by the voters. The most expeditious solution, so that
WE THE VOTERS have immediate representation, is to stop wasting time and select and
appoint the candidate from the November 2020 election with the next highest vote
count. Stop wasting time with this unnecessary exercise. Earlier this month, Dan
Kalmick is quoted in an LA Times article, "The voice of the people isn't heard with a
fourth-place vote; that's not what the people voted for". Well Mr. Kalmick, if not with the
power of our vote, how else are voters heard? You and the majority of this council are
1
certainly not listening. The 4th place candidate should be immediately sworn in. Gracey
Van Der Mark is the only choice, the voters choice!
Sincerely,
Sherry Daniels

the fact that Gracey Van Der Mark should be appointed onto city council, since she had the most votes and came in
fourth place in the 2020 election. It is only fair and honest for you, representing the constituents of this city, that you
honor the peoples voice in placing Gracey In her rightful position. Anyone other than Gracey Van Der Mark is hypocrisy
on your part and you are breaking your vows to the citizens that live here. Especially if you even think of appointing
someone...like certain people we all know, who have labeled her a bigot or a racist, As well as myself in target attacks on
social media, and our personal lives. People who do not even know our lives. Allowing taunting and bullying to
normalizing acceptance, whack ass backwards thought, is absolutely disgraceful. Enough is enough Huntington Beach
city Council you need to stand up for respect to your constituents and honor the vote! Don't be a traitorous tyrant,
don't be a hypocrite, and most of all, don't be a liar...because we see you and we're watching every move! Anything

Dear Mayor Carr and City Council Members,
In my view I believe we have an excellent City Council and city staff moving ahead to
address issues of food and housing insecurity among our residents, climate change and
human rights. I believe that Oscar Rodriguez will complement the current council as you
address these many issues. I hope you will appoint him to fill the vacant seat on the city
council. 1 think that he has the education, professional and community service experience
to represent the people of Huntington Beach especially those who are often overlooked.
I know Mr. Rodriguez personally and his good work for the community of Oakview. He has
organized and lead a youth soccer league (open throughout the city), a needed food drive
begun during the early stages of the COVID quarantine in the Oakview neighborhood again
open to those in need of food throughout our city, and serves on the Planning
Commission. His faithful service and leadership is what we look for in a member of the city
council. I also know that he has deep knowledge of environmental issues that affect our
entire city. He will be a valuable addition to your good work to address affordable housing,
environmental concerns and building a city where all can live, work and play.
I know that you are considering Mr. Rodriguez, I believe he offers insight to a community
that is often overlooked and that it will be a nod to a more inclusive city government. I wish
you all well during this time of deliberation to fill this vacant seat.
Sincerely,
Pat Goodman

Dear council members,
The replacement for Tito Ortiz on the city council should be a person that represents his views of the
community, since he received the most votes in the history of Huntington Beach. Gracie Van Der Mark ran on
the ticket with Tito Ortiz and was the next runner up in the election. Between them they got 65,611 votes, Dan
Kalmick, the next runner-up to Tito Ortiz, received 30,310 votes. If the city council wants someone to truly
represent the citizens of Huntington Beach, they should appoint Gracie Van Der Mark as Tito Ortiz's
replacement.

Subject:Vacancy on City Council
Hello Council Members,
In light of the recent resignation of Tito Ortiz and the subsequent vacant seat on the City Council, I am writing
to urge each of you to consider the responsibility you have to ALL city residents and voters and their equal
representation rights.
Gracey Van Der Mark received the greatest number of votes after Tito Ortiz, Dan Kalmick and Natalie
Moser. The vacant seat should be given to the person who received the sequentially highest number of votes as
chosen by the residents of Huntington Beach.
Everyone in our city is well aware of the existing political divide and the tactics of some of the supporters of
some current council members. In no uncertain terms should any council member or candidate be subject to
harassment as was the case with Tito Ortiz that led to his resignation. The City Council members involved with
hostile factions in HB need to step up and put a stop to the personal attacks on behalf of politics.
THE PEOPLE HAVE SPOKEN. The vacant seat needs to go to Gracey Van Der Mark. Any alternative actions
will lead the voters to understand exactly what the motives of the City Council are.
Thank you,
Vanessa Nalle

In light of what happened with Tito Ortiz, I believe that Gracey Van Der Mark should be the next CC person.
It is incumbent on the current Council to Honor The Vote by letting the voters decide on who should be
appointed to Council to fill his vacancy. We all preach democracy, equality and fairness and the truly
democratic procedure would be to honor the vote and appoint the individual that received the next highest
votes in the November 3rd, 2020 election.
Gracey Van Der Mark received the 4th most votes in the 2020 election with 23,365 votes which is thousands
of votes more than the other candidates. The voters must decide on who fills this Council vacancy.

Subject: Please read: Process/selection of CC member replacement
This is in reference to filling the Huntington Beach City Councilmember position that was vacated by Mr. Ortiz
and why Gracey Van Der Mark should be appointed.
• The process should be to fill the position with the next highest vote-getter in the most recent election.
• These candidates were basically competing for the open seats and voters made their selection. Mr. Ortiz. Ms.
Moser and Mr. Kalmick were duly elected to those seats.
• The next highest vote-getter was Ms. Gracey Van Der Mark —she should WITHOUT HESITATION — be
appointed to the City Council if she is willing to serve.
• There is no reasonable need to hold a costly special election.
• There is no real excuse to appoint a different candidate unless Ms. Van Der Mark is not willing to take the
position.
• Gracey Van Der Mark is currently serving on a committee so is aware of many processes and procedures
reearding CC activities. She is smart and collaborative so would add to CC knowledge base yet lit in well.
• Gracey Van Der Mark has been integrally involved in many community enhancement activities and projects
from education to homelessness programs.
Please do the right thing because you should and avoid a different, unjustified or expensive choice because you
can. The citizens of FIB already made their selection priority clear.
Thank you.

Subject: Agenda Item 21-470 Determination of City Council Vacancy Appointment Process
Dear Mayor Carr and City Council Members.
In formulating the City Council vacancy appointment process, decision-makers must look at
several factors in ensuring the city and the community is well-served with the selection. In one of
the most controversial elections in Huntington Beach history. Tito Ortiz secured the most votes and
was elected to the City Council. This, despite a candidate who defied norms, was brash in his
actions, inconsistent in performing his official duties, outrageous in social media, and unrepentant
in his alt-right political views. In other words, he chose not to tit in and almost owned his unfitness
to serve in public office. In selecting a replacement, the City Council has a chance to get it right for
both the city and the community. The City Council will own this selection and be responsible for
the outcome for several years. It must choose wisely.
In addition to including application, submittals, introductory interviews, and other factors
leading to final deliberation and selection, the City Council must include investigation as a key
ingredient of determination. For example, a cursory investigation of the top two candidates
(finishing numbers four and five in the 2020 local election) reveals a stark contrast that must be
examined. Gracey Van Der Mark (finishing fourth) was cut from the same controversial cloth as
Tito Ortiz. Her alt-right public persona was combative and belligerent. Her actions in campaigns
were often deplorable. She reportedly wouldn't even enter City Hall with a mask on to deal with
her City Council candidacy paperwork. She was partisan to a fault, using her endorsement by the
Republican Party of Orange County to solidify her conservative pro-business agenda while railing
against the many community-based factions she would ostensibly represent if elected. It would
have been Tito 2.0 and a great disservice to our city. Oscar Rodriguez (finishing fifth) was cut
from completely different cloth. He is a respected civic figure, working tirelessly in the community_
to improve the lives of our citizens. He ran a positive campaign, unlike the negative school board
and City Council campaigns of Van Der Mark. He has earned the respect of several on the Council
already and would be a welcome addition to our city leadership. While both 2020 candidates
boasted Latino community backgrounds, the differences were stark in promoting diversity. A
thorough investigation of these two leading choices for appointment would expose and underline
all of the important factors that might not show up prominently in the application or even
introductory interview process.
t
The Huntington Beach electorate expressed a desire for "new blood" on the City Council in the
2020 election and a focus on community needs and concerns. While either Gracey Van Der Mark
or Oscar Rodriguez would check that box. the "new blood" would not be the same. I see a Van Der
Mark appointment going from "new blood" to bad blood very quickly. I see the opposite with a
Rodriguez appointment. Tito's checkered past, lack of qualifications, and brash persona would
never have survived investiaative scrutiny had he been a candidate for appointment instead of being
elected. I submit the same is true for Gracey Van Der Mark.
As a resident of Huntington Beach for over 35 years, a close follower of local civic affairs for
over twenty years, a former board member of two City boards (Finance Board and Mobile Home
Advisory Board), and a concerned citizen, I can appreciate that the City Council is at a crossroads
in determining the best course for representation in local government. It should ignore politics and
special interests in formulating its appointment. It should focus on the best qualified fit for our
Council and our community. We cannot afford to have the same threat of bigotry, division, and
even hostility we have seen with the Council Member being replaced survive scrutiny without
careful investigation and deliberation. The Council owes it to its citizenry.

Subject: Filling Council Vacancy
I urge the Council to fill the vacancy left by -It. Orliz's resignation by appointing Gracey Van Der Mark for the
following reasons:
1. Gracey Van Der Mark received the nest highest number of votes in the November 3, 2020 election.
2. Gracey Van Der Mark ran on a slate with Mr. Ortiz and Mr. McKeon. Replacing Mr. Ortiz wit Graccv Van
Der Mark would maintain the political balance established by the voters.
3. The temptation to replace Mr. Ortiz with someone aligned with Mayor Carr and Councilmembers Kahnick
and Moser; thus creating a 4-3 block, should be resisted_ Combined with the perception that Mr. Ortiz was
harassed out of office by this same block. and the fact that the other three council members Would be rendered
irrelevant the resultant Council would lack legitimacy in the eyes of voters. Policies enacted under these
circumstances would likely be at radical odds With the Will of the majority of residents. Wisdom would see this
situation as in no one's interest.

Gracy was the runner up on our city council ballots. Since Tito resigned she deserves to be put on city council as his
replacement. She earned that spot with our votes. Don't waste money on another election nor be power hungry by
appointing some buddy of the council.

Dear City Council,
I know I have already sent a recommendation to bring Oscar Rodriguez on board to fill
Tito's chair. I still believe that he would be the greatest asset to the city of Huntington
Beach.
But I also recognize the calls for going with whomever was the next highest vote-getter in
the past election.
Because of this I suggest you simply go with a past councilperson so the council can
continue without all the newbie rigamarole. Lynn Semeta is qualified, Jill Hardy is
qualified, and either one is considered acceptable by all the "non-partisans."
I believe for a reasonable semblance of peace and cooperation, one of these two would be
perfect...
I know you will consider the options carefully and not
make the same mistake the voters did in voting for "celebrity"M
Mahalo!

Dear City Council and Oliver Chi
Please honor the Vote In Huntington Beach when filling the vacancy left by Tito Ortiz. Gracey Van Der Mark
was the next runner up in the 2020 election and should fill the vacancy left by Mr. Ortiz.
Please do the right thing and honor the voters of our city.

Hello Council members:
I just learned that you have called an emergency meeting to hear your constituents beliefs about who to appoint to
replace Tito. I strongly believe that Oscar Rodriguez would be an excellent choice. He has contributed a great deal to the
city of Huntington Beach and its members. On the other hand, Gracey Vandermark is a self-proclaimed white
supremacist. If she is appointed to this position, I fear for the safety of our residents. Can we please return to some
semblance of normalcy in our divided city by appointing a POSITIVE member, Oscar Rodriguez, instead of the divisive
Gracey Van Dermark?Thank you,
Marilyn Boehm

Subject: Replacement for Tito Ortiz
Dear Council Members,
I am writing to express my support to replace Tito Ortiz with Oscar Rodriguez. Mr. Rodriguez has shown his
support for our community by walking the walk. He works tirelessly by providing food for the food insecure in
our community. He has been a pillar in the education sector by being on the OVSD multiple times.
He is well educated with a Bachelor's degree from Cal State Long Beach. He
wants to solve our unfunded liabilities and work with all levels of government to prioritize environmental
protections, including protecting our coasts from polluting industries, preserving the Bolsa Chica Wetlands and
keeping our beaches clean. He's an advocate for cleaner energy alternatives and he is young. We need some
young and fresh eperspectives on our Council.
Do NOT by any means put Gracey in this seat. We do not need someone who pals around with and brags
about knowing white supremacists like Baked Alaska and Augustus Invictus. Huntungton Beach already has a
reputation for its ties to white supremacists. The last thing this city needs is more attention concerning its links
to these radical ideologues.
Oscar would be a welcome neutral replacement.
Thank you,

We firmly believe that this appointment firmly belongs to the Ist runner up in the election. Gracey Van Der
Mark. after earning 23.365 votes ....and she did it the "old fashion' way, walking miles and miles, knocking on
doors and earning those votes. She was not "bought and paid for" by special interests.
Gracev is a HHRWF member for manv vears. and has been on the Executive Board as the Carine for America
Chairman.
She is not one to Live up, her dedication for our city is stellar, and honestly we need more people like her
because she can and will make a difference.

Subject: Open City Council Seat - Gracey Van Der Mark
TO ALL HUNTINGTON BEACH CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS:
You all know our City Charter calls for the vacancy - caused by
the resignation of Tito Ortiz - to be "appointed by the current city
council'. Section 312(a) of the City Charter reads, "A vacancy in
the City Council or in any other office designated as elective by
this Charter, from whatever cause arising, shall be filled by
appointment by the City Council."
We firmly believe this appointment firmly belongs to the I" runner
up in the recent election, Gracev Van Der Mark, who earned 23,365
votes by walking miles and miles and knocking on doors to earn the
votes.
As residents of Huntington Beach for the past 47 years, we believe this is
clearly the only proper solution to fill this open Council position since
this appointment will fill the entire term vacated by Mr. Ortiz (3-1/2
years), and this clearly belongs to "The People", the voters of
Huntington Beach - not to a simple majority of 4 council members.
There is only one proper solution to fill this open Council seat -
HONOR THE VOTE and appoint Gracey Van Der Mark!
Respectfully,
Burdette & Luanne Hallett

Dear City Council Members,
I just wanted to put a good word in for Oscar Rodriguez, who ran for City Council last election.
I voted for Oscar because he has been absolutely outstanding in everything he has accomplished, and he has
accomplished an awful lot!
I first noticed Oscar when he got the community together to get the Rainbow Environmental Services, now known as
Republic Services, to enclose their buildings and put a cover over the top as so much of their services had expanded over
the years, it became a hazard for the students, teachers and staff at the nearby school.
It took a lot of time and perseverance, but Oscar never gave up and he got the job done.
I trust Oscar to tackle the most difficult and complex issues we all face within our city, as he is highly intelligent,
extremely knowledgeable and will come prepared for any given situation that arises. He is motivated and inspirational. I
think he would also be a great fit for the current City Council as those of us who live in Huntington Beach look forward
to a bright and beautiful future!
Sincerely,
Lisa Ayres-Smith

i am a main street homeowner. i am dismayed at watching our city start to erode by following in the same
footsteps that has ravaged Ins angeles. many of the residents who have the means to leave LA have left...and
unfortunately many have settled in our town. while i welcome everyone, i find it extremely discouraging to
learn that many of these los angeles transplants would like to continue to promote the same political and social
policies in HB that ruined Ins angeles!! if it doesnt work in LA, why does anyone think it would work
here? we all know the definition of insanity...doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different
result!
like many in this state, my level of frustration has grown to a potential breaking point. if this city continues to
devolve into a political cesspool, i am afraid my family and i will join the tens of thousands of other califomians
who are leaving the state they love.
a city council seat has opened up. as you determine who should fill this seat, i am asking city council to please
make the decision to honor how the voters voted in the past election. as many of us locals have discussed
amongst ourselves, and wTitten/read through emaiWsocial media...we believe that this appointment firmly
belongs to the 151 runner no in the election, Gracev Van Der Mark after earning 23365 votes .
thank you for your time and consideration.
Thank You,

Thank You.
