Please let us know if you have any questions. The Registrar of Voters provides this ESTIMATE of costs for your preliminary planning purposes for a stand-alone election. Actual costs will be applied in compliance with OMB A-87 and will include labor and overhead, supplies, services, and other expenditures incurred during the election. Invoices and spreadsheets outlining actual costs may be examined following receipt of all invoices related to the election upon request. The calculation of estimates for stand-alone elections is based upon a projection of total jurisdictional participation and an average cost per voter. The total jurisdictional participation is calculated by taking the number of registered voters, 132,905 as of 6/28/21, and projecting a 10% increase in voter registration. The average cost per projection formulae are based upon experience over past elections of this type. For a stand-alone election,we are estimating between $4.80 and $S.30 per voter. Effective in 2019, AB 216 requires prepaid postage to be included on all vote by mail return envelopes. Depending on the ballot size, postage estimations are $0.606 or$0.756. Current vote by mail registration is 102,764. Based on the above: a. The cost of the voter information guide (with standard-length text) is estimated to be $80,000. b. The cost of the stand-alone election is estimated to be $701,738 - $774,836 c. The cost of postage for vote by mail ballot return envelopes is estimated to be $62,275- $77,690 d. The cost recovery to be added due to the new Vote Center model is estimated to be $40,935 - $99,413' "Low: $0.28/registered voter. High: $0.68/registered voter.

I hope that you will carefully review those candidates being considered as his replacement. I am aware of a large email campaign in support of Gracey Vandermark. In light of many posts made by her in the past as well as videos. I hope you reject her out right. Many of her supporters will deny she made the posts. but 1 and many others saw them posted in real time. The one that stands out in my mind the most is the picture she posted on Donald Trump's I00th day in office. It was a picture ofher son wearing a gas mask posing with Kyle Chapman, AKA Based Stickman. He is a violent white nationalist who has been on FBI watchlists. Over the past year, our city has become a laughing stock across the country because of the behavior of a loud minority. Do we want to give more fodder to the media by appointing someone who associates with Proud Boys to our city council'? Wasn't the Tito debacle enough'? Of those candidates remaining, I feel Oscar Rodriguez would be the best choice. I first heard of him through his outreach work with underserved communities. This is the type of picture we should be portraying to the citizens of Huntington Beach and the rest of the country. Thank you for taking the time to read my thoughts on this matter. Sincerely.

Oscar is a dedicated community member, a respected servant-leader, and outstanding human being. He brings a wealth of knowledge of the community and those who struggle to be heard. He would serve the Council with distinction and honor. I do not have the privilege of living in HB but my best friends do, so I am in Huntington Beach quite frequently and spend a considerable amount of my money there. As a regular visitor to HB, Oscar Rodriguez always makes me feel welcome and valued. Thank you for your time and consideration. You can't go wrong with appointing Oscar to the City Council.

Hello City Council — The City of Huntington Beach Charter is quite clear about the city council having sole authority for appointing the replacement for any city council member unable or unwilling to serve the entirety of a full standard term. This is your decision and your decision alone. As an informed resident, I was aware of this provision in our city charter and suggested to everyone who would listen to simply relax and let our remaining council members make their selection. Unfortunately, like so many things in Huntington Beach, the loudest and angriest voice couldn't help themselves, and started "demanding" a specific selection less than 24 hours after Mr. Ortiz announced his resignation. I've never been fond of"loud and angry." Being loudest doesn't make you right and being angry is destructive and wasteful. As we go forward as a community, I believe the residents of Huntington Beach deserve better than loud and angry. I believe we need a constructive voice, a voice of a community advocate and a voice of that will participate as a constructive partner in moving our city forward. While I originally felt it better to simply standby and allow our city council to make their appointment without outside influence, it is clear influence has already been applied. Due to this environment, I no longer feel that I can merely stand by. I would support the appointment of Mr. Oscar Rodriguez for Huntington Beach City Council.

We need to put that stain behind us by rejecting people who even meddle a little bit in that world. With that said. I would like to recommend that you appoint Oscar Rodriguez to city council, someone who has done good work for the community and schools, instead of a bigot who makes thinly veiled racist comments, instead of someone who gets friendly with Proud boys and other related hate groups. The last thing Huntington Beach needs is to be known as a city cozy to bigots, nutjobs and quacks. Do you want People to visit Huntington Beach'?

Oscar is a "uniter," a position our city and country desperately needs at this time. I'm the child of Holocaust survivors, and it troubles me deeply that many in our city support Gracey Van Der Mark. She is a self-admitted bigot, even agreeing to the label of "Nazi." Please appoint someone who will bring us together in HB. Personally, I'm exhausted from all the nasty rhetoric that has been spewed in our city, not necessarily by our residents. Let's return HB to its former family friendly logo of "Surf City."

In the last 10 years I have followed local politics pretty closely. I understand the difficulties you face in choosing a replacement for failed City councilman Ortiz. I would ask at this time to look at the situation as a gift, an opportunity to steer the city in a better direction than we have gone in the past. I ask that you choose someone that brings to the table skills that would round out the strengths and weaknesses of the current council. I ask that you do not choose someone who has a questionable past linked to crazy conspiracy theories, or those involved with white supremacy groups, or sympathizers. I ask that you find the courage to do what is right for the residents of HB and appoint the right person for the job. I am not going to pretend to know who is the perfect fit, as I do not know who is being considered. You will never make everyone happy, however you have a great opportunity to gain back our reputation as a beautiful sea side community, and lose the reputation as a city of hate, a city the condones white supremacy, and a city of crazy elected officials. I respect the difficult position you are all in. But I promise you, this is a gift for the future if HB. Thank you for all your hard work. Wishing you luck and prayers as you and the rest of the city council take on this task.

He has repeatedly demonstrated his unswerving dedication and service to the people, with many self started efforts, such as food distributions, and with Oak View Communidad. He's a diverse voice to represent all who live in our ever changing community and demographic. He is the ideal choice to replace 'I'ito Ortiz. Additionally. Gracey Van Der Mark should not be considered. She espouses Neo Nazi vitriol and Holocaust denials. is connected to indicted insurrectionists and Proud Boys. and participated in attacks on our democracy in FIB the past year. as pictured here at the 'Stop the Steal' pre insurrection 'rally', where the crowd was encouraged to descend on our Capitol, cheering at Alan Hostetter's suggestions of''esecutions". Any consideration of this individual for off ice would not be in keeping with the Councils pronouncements to denounce hate crimes and white supremacy in all forms. The community appreciates your efforts and wants to move forward into a better future, not be in the news as a hub of white supremacist insurrectionists. I'd also like to make a complaint about City Attorney Gates, for stirring the pot at the last meeting to suggest that the office "belongs`to Ms Van DerMark. As a lawyer-he surely knows that statement is factually, legally, false. 'I'o the contrary, it is the City Council's duly appointed responsibility to select an appropriate Member to serve. which given more information about Van DerMark's activities disqualifies her, and which many if not most voters were likely previously unaware of. His effort to mislead the public with such hyperbole is an egregious attack on the Council, and does a grave disservice to the people of Huntington Beach. "Thank you.

One of the first people I met when looking around my new city for people involved in good work, was Oscar. I've been more than impressed with how hard he works for this community. Everything from food delivery to those in need, to environmental justice and clean up. He's the real deal Oscar is. A citizen whose invested his time and energy in making the city he lives in a better place. I'm fully aware of how controversial Oscar can be in this city. In my opinion the backlash he has received after all the good work he's done here is the worst of what Huntington Beach has to offer.

My name is Russell Neal and I live in Huntington Beach. I would like to encourage the council to "respect the vote" and fill the vacancy created by Mr. Ortiz's resignation with the first runner-up from November's election, Gracey Van Der Mark, or failing that, by a special election. In addition to being the next highest vote-getter in the election, Mrs. Van Der Mark is largely aligned politically with Mr. Ortiz, and so her appointment would keep the council makeup similar to that chosen by the voters. I also note that in terms of votes per dollar spent, Mrs. Van Der Mark did five to ten times as well as the three successful candidates. She and her supporters spent less than 2% of the money spent on all 15 candidates. Her success for this modest expenditure reflects her inherent support among the voters. There were over a million dollars spent on this election. I suspect the special interests involved are adequately represented on the council, but I think the voters who gave Mr. Ortiz the highest number of votes of any candidate in Huntington Beach history deserve their representation as well. Appointing Gracey Van Der Mark to fill his seat will "respect the vote" and grant the voters that representation. Thank you. t Moore, Tania From: Mani Kang <manijedi@gmail.com> Sent: Tuesday, June 15, 2021 7:15 PM To: supplementalcomm@surfcity-hb.org Subject: Recommending Oscar Rodriguez for HB City Council To the Honorable Mayor and Councilmembers of Huntington Beach City Council. I write today in support of Mr. Oscar Rodriguez to be strongly considered for the seat that has been vacated on the city council. I have known Oscar Rodriguez for a number of years and I cannot stress enough this young man's passion. commitment, and vision for both the city and all its people and communities. Ever since I first met him years ago. I have been struck by Oscar's dedication to underserved communities as well as leveling the playing field for all Huntington Beach residents. His amazing work as a grassroots activist and organizer for his beloved community of OakView COmUNIDAD is a testament to his hard work ethic and his never forgetting where he comes from. His dedication to his neighborhood and people is but one highlight in this young man's passionate dedication and commitment to serving others. He is truly a "good samaritan" in every aspect of the term. And yet he has always been humble and self- effacing to the point of avoiding the spotlight for the sake of the greater good. What more sincere quality could one ask for in such a compassionate local resident who keeps giving of his time and energy? He is also a team player who works well with all those he comes in contact with whether it be for voter registration drives. challenging and reforming waste management practices that were not ideal (such as open pollution near a community school), or working with local and state non-profits to curb excessive and cost- prohibitive desalination plans for the city which would have had a potentially catastrophic negative environmental impact on Huntington Beach's renowned coastal areas. Oscar Rodriguez has proven to be both a people's champion for the city and its multi-faceted and diverse communities as well as a wise cost-saving steward and sage visonary for the city's economic future. He would curb excessive spending on extravagances while simultaneously advancing equality and a guaranteed voice for all city residents and their corresponding socioeconomically diverse neighborhoods. He would treat everyone equally and his record of integrity would ensure that no one is given special treatment and yet no one disrespected nor dismissed either. All city residents and business would be treated fairly and according to merit and ability. Mr. Rodriguez also has enough experience haying worked in various public and political atmospheres to understand and pass resolutions, enforce or revise city ordinances, and a host of other needed assets and skills to both interact with private residents and businesses and well as public organizations to find common ground and solutions possibly mutually benefitting all involved. His willingness to be a team player to work out remedies and solutions for everyone involved cannot be overstated. He understands the crucial role of mediating complex issues with an amicable goal for all parties. Oscar Rodriguez is a down-to-earth individual wise beyond his youth who has experienced and surpassed hardships in life that would have derailed many a soul if they had to walk in his shoes. He has taken everything 1 in stride. never looked back, and is willing to channel all his energy and dynamic life experiences into giving back to the city that he grew up in and learned to both challenge and cherish through the years. He has taken nothing for granted and he is an eternal optimist who believes in teamwork and getting things done. Let me emphasize that 1 cannot underscore enough Nfr. Rodriguez's commitment to honesty. ethics. compassion. integrity, and his long-term vision for a city lie has called home for the majority of his life. Oscar Rodriguez will be an invaluable asset to an already dynamic city known for its independent-minded residents. famous beaches beckoning tourists from all parts of the nation. its variety of entrepreneurs as well as family-owned businesses. its legendary annual surfing competitions, and its ethically diverse communities (oi' which OakVie),v ComUNIDAD is but one tightknit example). 1 cannot recommend enough Oscar Rodriguez to represent the city of l-luntington Beach at its finest with the qualities of transparency. integrity. humility. and vision that he will definitely bring to the table- These assets will serve Surf City for the better for years to come with such a dynamic and humble resident serving the city in an official capacity. Please consider Oscar Rodriguez as the newest addition to the 1-1Untingtoil Beach City Council. It's a decision I promise you will never regret. Thank you for your consideration.

I have been a resident of Huntington Beach for 40 years. I have raised my family here and now my grandchildren are enjoying the benefits of living in Huntington Beach. I am a retired licensed clinical social worker and spent the last 24 years of my career working at Orange Coast Memorial Medical Center. As a social worker I know how important community support and outreach is and I know what community service looks like. Since retiring I have had the opportunity to engage in various volunteer activities. For the past several months, during this pandemic, I have especially been impressed with the efforts and outreach of La Communidad on Friday mornings in the Oakview area of Huntington Beach. I am especially grateful to Oscar Rodriguez for bringing together this community in so many ways. He has networked with individuals, organizations, churches, nonprofits, to bring food, diapers, gift cards, and other much needed items to the residents of this area. I have seen him interact with donors and recipients alike. His skills include organization, encouragement and affirmation, knowledge of needs and where to find resources. He exhibits leadership, and tirelessness. He exhibits a calmness and "can do" attitude. He has made this outreach program into one that people can depend upon, feel good about participating in at all levels, and a hopefulness that working together does not stop here. There is much to accomplish and he brings needed synergy into the mix that points to bigger and better things ahead. Being with Oscar Rodriguez makes us all better community members and makes us want to serve. Thank you for taking the time to read this letter.

Oscar is a true pillar of the community and has been helping the less fortunate members of the city since well before the election and pandemic. For example, Oscar co-founded the Oak View ComUNIDAD in order to help the Oak View community take on Rainbow Environmental Services due to Rainbow's air quality violations. They won that fight and have helped the children now breathe cleaner air when out playing on the school playground. Oscar has also helped low income families by assisting them with housing and education thanks to his knowledge from being an Asset manager with the Orange County Community Housing Corporation/SteppingUp. During the pandemic, he has organized weekly food and clothing drives to help families that might have otherwise not made it. Oscar Rodriguez truly cares about the city of Huntington Beach and all those who call it home. He has proven time and time again that he's here to help. I think he can bring much wisdom and helpful ideas to the city council and the issues it's currently facing. t Thank you for your time and consideration.

Oscar is a true pillar of the community and has been helping the less fortunate members of the city since well before the election and pandemic. For example, Oscar co-founded the Oak View ComUNIDAD in order to help the Oak View community take on Rainbow Environmental Services due to Rainbow's air quality violations. They won that fight and have helped the children now breathe cleaner air when out playing on the school playground. Oscar has also helped low income families by assisting them with housing and education thanks to his knowledge from being an Asset manager with the Orange County Community Housing Corporation/SteppingUp. During the pandemic, he has organized weekly food and clothing drives to help families that might have otherwise not made it. Oscar Rodriguez truly cares about the city of Huntington Beach and all those who call it home. He has proven time and time again that he's here to help. I think he can bring much wisdom and helpful ideas to the city council and the issues it's currently facing. Thank you for your time and consideration.

I met her recently and it became immediately apparent to me how passionate she is about the city of Huntington Beach, which she has chosen to call her home. I understand that traditionally, Huntington Beach has been a fairly conservative community. Dom certainly has traditional "conservative" bona fides as a local business owner. Her perspective as a resident and business owner in the city should be a welcome addition to the HB City Council and the decisions that it faces. She also brings a unique perspective as a black woman—a voice that I do not believe has been present on the HB City Council previously, and perhaps not on any city council in Orange County. I urge you not only to make a positive decision for the council, but also an historic one. I was impressed by Dom, her passion, her energy, and her commitment to public service. I think she would be a phenomenal addition to the HB City Council and hope you will support her appointment.

I am writing as a citizen of Huntington Beach in support of Oscar Rodriguez' application for the open position on City Council. I met Oscar in April ol'2021 at Oak View Conwnidad. a food and household goods distribution service that he has been instrumental in organizing and operating in our community. Since his starting this grassroots program during the pandemic. Oscar and his team have helped many Huntington Beach citizens with weekly food, diapers, household items and other support during it time of great need. His continued commitment to the community through volunteering and organizing these types of services have inspired me to share my time and help out when I can. He is humble, a great communicator and leader. and a tireless worker for the betterment of our city and its inhabitants. Based on my time working with Oscar. I believe he would be an excellent fit to fill the open seat in the Huntington Beach City Council. His generous sharing of his time and energy, making himself available to the most needy members of our community. speaks to his character and ability to mobilize himself and our fellow citizens toward positive lasting changes in our city.

He ran for a city council seat in the most recent election and we understand that he came in very close to being elected to one of the open seats. It would be the proper decision to allow him to take a seat now. Thank you for your consideration and your vote to appoint Oscar Rodriguez to the open seat on the city council.

Over the years we have known hundreds of our tenants and our surrounding neighbors. Some of these individuals have become friends and we have watched their families grow up. This past year we have enjoyed getting to know Ben Goldberg. Ben has quite a bit of City Government experience, serving many years as a Commissioner in the Long Beach area. A frequent visitor to Huntington Beach over the years, Ben now calls Surf City his home. Ben has a passion for everything Huntington Beach stands for: Healthy beach lifestyle and support for our protective services, Police, Fire, and Lifeguard. As a successful businessman, Ben fully supports HB businesses, both large and small. Our children and our grandchildren are our treasures, and Ben is committed to their receiving a great education, and making sure that the numerous activities are available to all the children. We firmly believe that Ben Golgberg is a fine choice for filling the vacant position on the HB City Council. Scott& Joanie Seaton 8565 Iarkhall Cir.

SUPPLEMENTAL COMMUNICATION ~+eating Date.. 7- JZJ 4 f-Po/2/ igenoa hem No.: � a�' 1 From: Michelle Fuga <michellefuga@vahoo.com> Sent: Friday,July 9, 2021 3:31:55 PM To:Jun, Catherine<catherine.iun@surfcity-hb.ora> Subject:Zoom meeting- no one was there Hi Catherine, I waited 30 minutes and no one acknowledged or chatted me. I lere is my statement. Good afternoon; My name is Michelle Fuga,and I am interested in serving on the Huntington Beach City Council. About me: 1 was born in Garden Grove,and have lived in Huntington Beach for most of my life. My father and I both attended Huntington Beach High School. I am a Business person, a mother,and a grandmother. I am also a recovered addict,and have overcome homelessness -all right here in Huntington Beach. As "business","family", "addiction & recovery",and"homelessness" all have relevance in our community, I think I have a unique perspective that represent a positive contribution to the discussion and planning on each of these topics. Qualifications: I have an MBA in Organizational Leadership from Mount St. Mary's University in LA. 1 have strong Leadership& Communication skills. I have served on the Board of Directors at the Roque Center in Westminster,and I am am a long time volunteer with Working Wardrobes in Costa Mesa,CA in the capacity of Transformational Change Coach. I would facilitate a 8 week workshop assisting people with the transition from joblessness to self- sufficiency. Motivation to Apply: As a Huntington Beach resident, I'd like to be more involved in community solution(s). However,the confusion and negativity on Social Media have made getting involved feel very intimidating. I don't have an agenda for any one particular item, but rather have an interest in gaining knowledge on the issues,and in turn sharing that knowledge in a very basic and simplified manner. 1'o that end I would like to serve on the City Council with an aim for disseminating intonnation so that people like myself can understand and may be motivated to become involved in a positive way. Thank you, Aficbeur Fmg all 714 590 3009
