Pursuant to Section 312 of the Huntington Beach Charter. unscheduled vacancies on the City Council 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 that specified timeframe, a special election must then be held to fill the vacated role. After coordinating an overall application and assessment process, a total of 105 final candidates were identified for possible appointment to the vacant seat On July 19. the City Council held a Special City Council Meeting to consider making an appointment, and following considerable discussion. the City Council voted to adjourn and continue the conversation at a subsequent Special City Council meeting, which was coordinated to occur on July 26. Financial Impact: There is no fiscal impact associated with appointing a candidate to fill the current vacant City Council seat. However. if the City Council fails to reach consensus on an individual to appoint to the abandoned City Council seat, the subsequent Special Election will cost an estimated $885K — $1 M Recommended Action: Cwl 111 IICf ti]d.;G�I Select a candidate for appointment to the vacated City Council seat. end Alternative Action(s): Provide direction to hold a Special Election to fill the vacant City Council seat. Analysis: A Special Meeting of the City Council was held on June 10 2021 to consider the vacancy. at which time the City Council directed that an appointment process be coordinated to include an application period, introductory interviews with eligible applicants, and a final deliberation to identify an individual to fill the vacant City Council seat. Pursuant to that direction, applications were accepted from June 11, 2021 , through June 18, 2021 . Subsequently, a Special City Council Meeting was held on July 9 — 10, 2021 . for the introductory candidate interviews. During the overall assessment process, applications received were as follows: • 190 applications were received prior to the close of the application process on June 18, 2021. • 131 applicants accepted an interview time slot with the City Council on either July 9 — 10, 2021. • A total of 105 applicants participated in the introductory interviews that were held July 9 — 10, 2021. On July 10, as part of the Special City Council meeting, the appointment process was further defined to include the following parameters: • A Special City Council meeting would be held on July 19, 2021, at which time the City Council would deliberate and attempt to identify an applicant to fill the vacant City Council seat. • To facilitate the assessment process, each City Council member will be able to initially nominate up to 3 candidates for consideration of appointment to the vacated role. • Once the finalist candidates are identified by the City Council, a process consisting of selection rounds will be engaged in an attempt to identify an individual for appointment to the vacant seat. o During each assessment round, Council Members would identify their top candidate for filling the vacancy. o After each round, the candidate that receives the least amount of support would be removed for consideration during the future rounds. o The assessment process would be continued until one candidate receives support of at least 4 Council Members. o Ultimately, if no candidate received support from a majority of the City Council by the July 30. 2021 deadline, then a special election would then be required. On July 19, a Special Meeting was held to consider appointment of one of the 105 final applicants to the vacant seat. After discussing potential candidates, and after considering a special election to fill the seat, the City Council voted to adjourned and continue the meeting at a future date. To that end, the City Council will be reconvening on July 26 to discuss a possible appointment to the vacated City Council seat.

How do I explain to my children that our voice doesn't matter'? Our elected officials will do whatever they choose. I do not agree with how the audience was behaving last night. but also do not agree with how our council members behaved last night. Do you think that maybe our community is just fed up? What are we supposed to do when we have a council who doesn't listen? Thank you to Ms. Delgleize, Mr. Posey and Mr. Peterson for realizing we need a special election. It sure looks pretty obvious that you do not believe your candidate will win in an election. You are afraid of the I million dollars? Then cut back! It's pretty clear our community wants a special election. I guess as a concerned and tired resident, I just ask that you be transparent and do the RIGHT THING! One last comment. Mr. halmick. last I checked your position is not volunteer. As a volunteer in our community. I do not receive one dollar, while you may not get paid much, you sir are not a volunteer.

But, last night you seem to be determined to make sure that no one else will have that opportunity. We have a representative form of government in which the citizens vote to select their representative. We now have a vacancy, so let the voters choose their representative. Yes there is going to be some costs involved in a special election, but those funds belong to the citizens and would be correctly spent for a special election. Besides, the City of Huntington Beach is setting on a budget surplus. If you truly believe that we can not afford a special election, then there is no costs involved in appointing Gracie to fill that vacancy. She has already been approved by the voters to be become one of our leaders. No one else has been approved by the voters to fill the existing vacancy. If you vote to deny the voters their right to choose their representative, I can assure you that there is a strong movement in our community that is going to make your position on the council as uncomfortable as they possibly can. Do the right thing. Dennis Davenport t Switzer, Donna From: Fikes, Cathy Sent: Tuesday, July 20, 2021 11:48 AM To: Agenda Alerts Subject: FW:About last night...

The Mayor and 2 others do not believe in democracy, they are working so hard behind the scenes to get the one person they want to sit on the throne with them. Take the vote to the citizens,THAT IS WHERE IT BELONGS!!!! How many votes do you need to take, what kind of strong arm tactics to you intend on using in the next 7 days before you take more votes. I pray that Barbara and Posey do not bend to your pressure. 2. Barbara and Posey both wanted a special election but when it came to the final vote they folded, I hope they show their constituents that they have more backbone and ethics and stick to what is right and let the citizens choose who they want to represent them. 3. Kalmick is unprofessional and out of control, if he cannot stand the heat he should get out of the kitchen. He also needs to learn what the meaning of volunteer means. Kalmick you are not a volunteer you are paid, read the dictionary! Also, no more potty break!! Did you need that break to text with Natalie or with your puppet masters?? THis kind of corrupt behind the closed door activity is disgusting! 4. Natalie need to put her phone down, she is another one that is out of control and unprofessional. She needs to reveal her texts that she was making during city business. There should not be allowed any phones during the meetings, more corruption and more direction from her puppet master. 5. Kalmick is insulting to those he considers 'old' or 'sick'. Stating that anyone who is old or sick should never be elected to the city council. Who are you to tell the citizens who they should and should not vote for, You need to publicly apologize for demeaning the older population and those who may have some illness. Disgraceful that those words came out of a city councils mouth! 6. Kalmick needs to understand that the money in the city coffers belongs to the citizens, not him personally. He acted as though he was writing a check for a special election. When did he become 'fiscally responsible' because his pattern shows that he knows nothing about fiscal responsibility. 7. The Mayor in an open meeting should not be conferring with the attorney and CM in a secretive manner, ask the questions out loud, we all deserve to hear it. What are you trying to hide??? 8. The bottom line is this belongs with the citizens, it does not belong with the city council, we need to choose those who represent us, that is what democracy is all about, learn it!!! I have never witnessed such a dog and pony show, the stifled grins, the unscheduled recesses, the unprofessional acts of several sitting members. This is seeming to be the most corrupt city council this city has ever seen, run by special interests...POA for one...and not for the citizens. How much will a recall election cost?? That is down the pike if you do not start acting in a manner that is for all citizens (Natalie) and not just the few you represent. A very disgusted longtime resident of HB.

Trust me I will make every effort to get the message out to what I saw tonight. All 6 of you have NO idea as to what it takes to run a city that has been one of the best in the country. Even as one of the past Mayors made the statement this is the poorest representation of a City Council. This letter is being sent to many others for review.

Please put your heads together and pick a candidate that you all can work with, even though they are not perfect. The City should not spend $11M to placate the vocal group that demands their pick be put on the council, they along with the rest of us residents are not supposed to pick the replacement. The Charter clearly outlines how this is to proceed. You were voted in to do your job and your job is clearly defined to pick a replacement for any vacancy. If folks are unhappy with that then the procedure can be changed for the next time, but wishes don't apply to this time. Your duty is to pick a replacement, save the money for a better use, and move on with other business of the City. I suspect there are many of us who are not loudly clamoring for something that is not ours and we know and accept how the Charter is written. Please pick someone who will work for the betterment of HB and move on.

The meeting was a total embarrassment to the entire city. I'm ashamed at the behavior of the attendees whose behavior was childish and rude, at best. But I expect and demand better from our elected council members. The unprofessional manner, comments and attitude from several council members is unacceptable. We had to turn it off because it was so painful to watch and not at all how elected officials should act, especially on such an important subject. As a tax payer, voter, and member of this city I fully expect those for whom I vote to represent my family and neighbors and fellow residents to actually represent us. What is going on in city hall?? At this point the only responsible thing to do is to hold a special election to fill the seat. The city council failed to select a replacement and the people need to fill the seat. Our city has so many huge problems and it seems the council is continually distracted by partisan politics. The citizens of Huntington Beach deserve far better representation than we are currently experiencing. Thank you to Mr. Peterson for seeming to be the only member to consistently attempt to do right by the people of this city. I think the rest of the city council would do well to remember that you work for the people of Huntington Beach, and only the people of Huntington Beach. Please get your partisanship and your special interests out of our city and start listening to what the citizens are saying and doing what is best for our city. You can all be replaced in the next election.

Now for the rest on our city council, there is so much to cover, but first I want to mention the lack of decorum Natalie Moser and Dan Kalmick displayed at this meeting by engaging with the people in the gallery. This meeting was fill of passion by the people who are engaged in the city business and yes there were cheers of suppon and boos on statements. this is part of the process. And Dan Kalmick your statement on the old people in our community will come back and haunt you, and I would hope that that drives a recall for the two of you. I found it appalling that the three of you continued on your quest for control by denying a Free Election and the Voice of the Community. There was no surprise to me in your actions as it is clear that your only desire is to guard your Four Votes into the 2024 elections and discredit our communities desire for their voices and votes to decide who will represent them. I am a budget hawk but your statements over your concerns of the cost ring hollow this after at every chance you support outside Consultants SSSSS to do the work that are staff are capable of doing. If One Million is a cost of choice and a voice it is a mear pittance compared to your Faild Efforts with the homeless.

During that time I served on the Board of the Friends of the Children's Library. introduced Meet the Masters Programs to the Ocean View School District. was a Cub Scout Leader. participated in the Meals on Wheels Program and was a PTA Member at both Marine View Middle School and Harbour View Elementary School. I also completed the HB Citizens Academy. My children are now grown but they volunteered at the Lake View School Library in the summer to help shelve books and assist that conununity in need of'volunteers. I was deeply distressed to tune in to the City Council Meeting on Monday evening only to hear the audience members comprised mostly of Gracey supporters talking over Council members and shouting profanity. This group of vocal supporters seemed to sway some of our Council Members in their decision to switch their vote to favor a "special election." I was flabbergasted. This group of people only represent a small fraction of the FIB voting population. The fact that City Council could not come to a consensus was disturbing. We do not need to waste taxpayer dollars on a Special Election. This is not "democracy". This is pandering to a crowd of angry people who in all the years 1 have attended City Council meetings have not seen many of them. It appears that the choice is between Rhonda Bolton or Jeff Morin. I ask that you do the right thing and appoint Rhonda Bolton. She would be a welcome change to the makeup of our city council -- a woman of color in a city that has struggled with racial divide. She obviously interviewed well. I Would like VOL] all to follow the City Charter and select the person to fill the seat that was vacated by Tito Ortiz I am shocked by k1r. Peterson's summation of Mr. Ortiz's tenure and treatment. Mr. Ortiz did not have the courage or the desire to fulfill his commitment to the citizens of 1-I13. This was evident when he didn't bother to read up on the required information necessary to understand the workings of a local city council. And so Mr. Peterson we "victimize" Mr. Ortiz. Ugh! What a message we send to young people. If things get tough or you don't like what's going on --just quit, no notice. Again 1 ask that you please reconvene and fill the seat vacated by Mr. Ortiz who resigned with no notice. Having a special election will cost approximately $1million dollars that could be better spent on parks. police and fire, streets. infrastructure,just to name a few of the many improvements that SI million plus dollars could achieve. And as the City Clerk indicated time is of the essence. There is a very short window to do this so what kind of an election (democracy) would this be'??

In consultation with another Southeast Huntington Beach leader. I would like to now recommend the following since neither side of the 3-3 split was prepared to give in to an appointment that would last until 2024. A subsidiary goal of my recommendation is to avoid a costly and tumultuous special election in the middle of a formidable set of civic challenges that includes a resurgent COVID-19 pandemic virus. I would set aside both finalists (Jeff Morin and Rhonda Bolton) and other new and untested candidates (who all can run on their merits in the 2022 local election), and appoint a replacement Council Member from the ranks of our former mayors. This option was chosen in the wake of Council Member Dave Garofalo's resignation in 2001, and former mayor Grace Winchell was appointed for the remainder of the term in 2002. Winchell had no intention of running for office again. Naturally, the Council should consider a replacement that is up on current issues and possesses the leadership skills and drive to guide the Council forward. Ideally, the Council may choose to consider a former mayor who actually applied to be the appointed replacement for Tito Ortiz and a former mayor whose constructive reputation and community ties would be a huge Plus. I would like to propose that former mayor and longtime Council member Jill Hardy be selected as an interim appointment. The term could either be the remainder of the Tito Ortiz term (until 2024) or the balance of a term ending with the 2022 election. Since Jill Hardy was expected to seek a new Council term in 2022, and since she is eminently qualified (having worked with four of the current Council previously), it would be a perfect fit that would save over a million dollars for a special election so close to 2022. Jill Hardy is well known to the citizenry and is respected by 1 almost all residents. She is fair and honest and has shown she can work well with her Council colleagues. This decision would not deprive any of the serious former hopefuls who applied to fill the Council vacancy from the ability to run and serve in 2022. None of the other finalists (especially the balance of the 18 not making the current standoff selection) would have been picked in this process anyway. The City Council owes it to its residents and constituents to select a replacement that would be a credit to the Council going forward. It also owes it to its residents and constituents to avoid million dollar expenditures that would detract from the City's finances and fiscal flexibility. Many voters clamored for change in 2020. but even more clamored for competence and stability. That is even more so the case today. After so much drama and turmoil over our last pick. the City is owed a safe selection in whom the Council and the citizenry can have confidence. I urge you to follow our recommendation and appoint Jill Hardy. Thank you.

First trying to remove Mr. Ortiz then making his life so miserable that he quits has been your agenda all along in order to get another liberal appointed to the City Council. I have never witnessed such a vocal crowd at an HB City Council meeting as I did last night.This should be your wake-up call. You do not care what the PEOPLE think. You only care what YOU think. We see what's going on.Voting several times for the candidates, breaks during the meeting, saying how you would stay all night to get the appointment done, and now another Special Meeting is all part of the game. This is your attempt to try to change Ms. Delgleize's and/or Mr. Posey's mind. I have to say that my faith in both Ms. Delgleize and Mr. Posey was restored last night. I would like an email from all three of you stating the reasons why you have voted against a Special Election. Some of you ran on the platform of transparency, didn't you? Ms. Delgleize changed her mind so why are none of you willing to? And do not say money because as we heard from Mr. Posey, the City has a surplus, and we all know that Democrats love spending money—well, as long as it's not in pursuit of democracy. If money is such an issue, perhaps we should re- evaluate the additional salary you are all paid for this position. You work for US. I think the final straw for me last night was Ms. Moser's final self-righteous speech that she was furiously editing and highlighting during the meeting which laid out her opinion on the fraudulent elections, and smeared Mr. Ortiz's name as if this is all his fault. The speech was inappropriate. One statement in the speech did stand out to me however: Ms. Moser stated that by appointing Rhonda Bolton, all voices will be heard. Even Ms. Moser's own campaign website states that she will: Ensure all voices are represented in HB. If you truly want all voices represented, then the Special Election must take place. If the Special Election does not take place, then enjoy your final term.

As a citizen of this city who voted in the election, I'm really struggling with the council hand picking a candidate and not honoring the vote of the people or allowing the people to vote. I'm not sure how it doesn't seem logical to simply allow the 4th place person to take the place. At the very least, let the people vote. How is hand picking a candidate, representing the will of the residents of our city who you are elected to represent? It defies all logic and lacks transparency. I did not watch the meeting last night but if there was mention of age of one of the candidates, that is disgusting and should be publicly censured. It's time to stop acting like you run the city at your whim and do the job you were elected to do. In the discussion about the middle income housing, it was mentioned that the property is going to make money. There is not a 100 percent sure way to predict that the property will make a profit. It's a terrible location and for the little amount of profit it's being sold for currently, I wonder what the developer knows, that the council doesn't. I believe it was mentioned that no-one would be displaced in the purchase of the property. I would hope that the apartments would be turned as they are vacated. I disagree with the city becoming real estate investors. While the council made it seem like a sure money maker, there are no guarantees. As the city gets into the positive financially, I believe the prudent thing to do would be to put money in reserves and save for any unfunded pensions that the city has liability for. Not spending money as fast as we make it. I thought the council represented the people who elect the council but it seems that that at this point, the council does whatever it wants without consideration of the residents. It's frustrating. t Moore, Tania From: Fikes, Cathy Sent: Friday, July 23, 2021 4:15 PM To: Agenda Alerts Subject: FW: open election From: Darrin &Julie Curry<hbcurrys@gmail.com> Sent:Tuesday, July 20, 2021 4:11 PM To: CITY COUNCIL<city.council@surfcity-hb.org> Subject: open election Dear council members.

I moved here at age 22 with a promotion from work from out of state and I thought I landed in paradise. It was unbelievable how beautiful our city was. I have seen it go down over the years and unlike many HB residents, I was thrilled to have Pacific City. We needed an anchor to elevate our beat down Main St. and to pull in a more affluent tourist to balance out our city, which it did. Now, I am fully aware of the damage control you were instructed to get a handle on with everything that transpired in 2020. We drew a lot of unwanted attention and we are paying the price with a Democratic majority. Whatever is going on in politics is not want any of us want, and neither should you. Did you all sell your soul to the devil? I'm being serious. There is no other explanation for what is happening in the world. Greed. Money. Power = the devil working through you all. I fear if you do not honor the vote or put someone of a conservative value in Mr. Ortiz place, we are all in trouble. The people want to feel heard and we want a balanced city council. The unrest on the street is very real and contrary to what you may believe, keeping a lid on us with another left wing appointed politician from DC is not the answer.

She was the next top vote receiver in the election, and you know it. This would be the fair and equitable way to have the voters of Huntington Beach represented. This position should in no way be treated as the council majority's opportunity to appoint another council member who is in alignment with their positions. If the council chooses to go this direction, prepare yourselves for a short time in office.

Demand Dan be removed from City Council before HB has another law suit. Age Discrimination Age discrimination involves treating an applicant or employee less favorably because of his or her age. The Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA) forbids age discrimination against people who are age 40 or older. It does not protect workers under the age of 40, although some states have laws that protect younger workers from age discrimination. It is not illegal for an employer or other covered enter to favor an older worker over a younger one, even if both workers are age 40 or older. Discrimination can occur when the victim and the person who inflicted the discrimination are both over 40. Age Discrimination & Work Situations The law prohibits discrimination in any aspect of employment, including hiring, firing, pay, job assignments, promotions, layoff, training, benefits, and any other term or condition of employment. Age Discrimination & Harassment It is unlawful to harass a person because of his or her age. Harassment can include, for example, offensive or derogatory remarks about a person's age. Although the law doesn't prohibit simple teasing, offhand comments, or isolated incidents that aren't very serious, harassment is illegal when it is so frequent or severe that it creates a hostile or offensive work environment or when it results in an adverse employment decision (such as the victim being fired or demoted). t The harasser can be the victim's supervisor, a supervisor in another area, a co-worker, or someone who is not an employee of the employer, such as a client or customer. Age Discrimination & Employment Policies/Practices An employment policy or practice that applies to everyone, regardless of age, can be illegal if it has a negative impact on applicants or employees age 40 or older and is not based on a reasonable factor other than aae (RFOA).

My concern as Huntington Harbour Republican Women Federated (HHRWF) is to have voter integrity, the voters voice heard, and to support Republican candidates. I was glad you decided to redirect the voting to support holding an election. My concern and the concern of our members is that an appointment of a 31/2 year term to the city council must have the voice heard or voting of the people to decide who will fill the vacant CC seat. It was nice to see you vote for Jeff Morin. Although Jeff came in the bottom half of all candidates in the November election. Jeff was even endorsed by OCGOP and still he finished very low in the rankings- approximately 34% lower than Gracey and 63% lower than Tito, who won the seat he would be replacing ! This bottom tier ranking compared to all the other candidates, tells me that Jeff Morin does not have enough support from the people, especially for an appointment that is for a 31/2 year term! Jeff would be put in a very precarious position amongst the voters. No one likes to see someone just given something, especially this important. Barbara, no one gave you your seat on the City Council, you worked hard and won it yourself. Gracey being the 1 st runner-up and next in line who received the most votes was a viable candidate for the position because the election was recent. Timewise the election was not far off, therefore. Gracey's votes are fresh enough to represent the voice of the people. Any Republican who was the l st runner-up would be supported. That's the way it should be - get the votes and get on the HB City Council. I reiterate, I was glad to see, when it was clear no consensus would be reached, you spoke-up and redirected the council to have another vote about holding an election and you voted Yes, to having an election. I think you made the right decision. Barbara, It is my hope as representing HHRWF, that you continue to hold your position to have an election ensuring the people get to decide who gets this 31/2 year term. The alternative would be to appoint the 1st Hamer-up, Gracey Van Der Mark, to the position. These are the only two courses of action that are fair and democratic to the citizens of Huntington Beach.

The fact that it was chosen as a safe spot for a KKK rally speak volumes as to how it is viewed by people outside the city. We need to appoint someone to the city council that negates that image. Appointing Gracey Van Der Mark to Tito's vacated seat will only solidify the view that HB is a dangerous, backwards city. Gracey Van Der Mark has a history of associating with nazis (photographed with members of the Rise Above abovement and saving holocaust denier videos), racist language (photos of her holding a sign referring to "blacks" and reports of her saying "Thus meeting was being ran by the elderly Jewish people who were in there. The colored people were there doing what the elderly Jewish people instructed them to do."), and working with white supremacist organizations (photographed with Proud Boys leader Johnny Benitez and alt-right neo-Nazi Angustus Invictus and with Baked Alaska, anti-American insurrectionist). Whether you believe these examples or not, they are easily found on the internet and will be reported by the media as such if Gracey is appointed to the city council. In other words, appointing her will solidify HB's reputation as a center for white supremacy and discourage people that do not support white supremacy from coming to Huntington Beach. I know families that have decided to vacation elsewhere because HB seemed "dangerous". How many more families are making the same decision? Please do not appoint Gracey Van Der Mark to the city council. Instead, appoint someone that is non- controversial.

It is your duty to do so. Holding a special election to fill that seat will be seen as a dereliction of that duty, an unnecessary delay in restoring the proper number of voting members to achieve results, and an inexcusable, exorbitant expense for the city that experienced an economic downturn related to the pandemic. It seemed that Mr. Ortii s resignation was an opportunity for the council to return to the business of governing the city without the drama that accompanied his short tenure there. Having interviewed about one hundred possible candidates, including past city council members, it is hard to believe that the sitting members cannot reach consensus on one individual to complete the term that Mr. Ortiz was elected to. It is clear that whatever person you choose will disappoint some portion of the electorate, but that should not inform your decision.

We the People/Citizens of Huntington Beach voted in November and chose p1 Tito and I find it appalling that he was pushed out. Gracey Van Der Mark, was our 4th choice and next in line. It is time to quit with the shenanigans and appoint Gracey to take Tito's place. It is the will of the People and YOU WORK FOR US. America's government is set up "for the people, by the people".

At approximately 1:54:53 in the video, a motion "to adjourn this meeting & reconvene within the next 7 days" was made and passed. If I understand the section below correctly, it appears that a special meeting cannot be adjourned to a subsequent date, It can however be recessed and reconvened to consider the same subject which was done twice during the meeting. The word adjourned was used several times throughout the council's discussion of that option& then used in the actual motion. If this means what I think it means,then the vacant council seat would go to a Special Election since the council never came to an agreement on a candidate. Special Meetings-Non Emergency Special meetings of the City Council may be called at any time by the Mayor or by a majority of the members of the City Council. A special meeting requires a minimum of 24 hours notice to each member of the City Council and the media. No business other than what is described in the SEceCall for the Special MeetingaE*notice may be considered at a special meeting. A special meeting may not be adjourned to a subsequent date: it may, however,be recessed and reconvened to consider the same subiect contained in the original notice.

There are over 204.000 residents of Huntington Beach If you want to save us tax payers money from this '$1,000,000' special election, I would just appoint Gracey now Because she's going to win anyways. And you know it Mayor Kim Carr, how you treated us your constituents yesterday was disgusting and UnAmerican. Your greed to get the seat warmed by your rank and file is not the most just thing to do It s selfish and undesired by so many because it is not part of an honorable process You said that all the interviews you all sat through that took an agonizing two days. and so painstakingly difficult. but yet somehow meaningful. weird you think it's meaningful I would assume a long and hard campaign would be meaningful. Gracey is not bought and owes NO debt to any groups. organizations,businessmen. contractors. real estate moguls, elites, etc Mayor Carr you say you want to feel "compassion' and all these "heartfelt' emotions to appoint someone yet you have someone right there in front of you. a woman of COLOR and DIVERSITY who earned 4th place in 2020 That's a HUGE accomplishment she has all the checkmarks there, fitting for this vacant seat Gracey was vetted by you. many people in the city., the grassroot Yes.HB Residents. and 23,365 thousand residents who voted for her are NOT racist They are home owners, moms, dads, uncles, friends. daughters, sons just like you, families of HB These residents wanted her in that position on council. Oh But if it wasn't for the POA and the union puppets that enforced an arm twisting vote for Moser and DK. Gracey would be there sitting right next to you Miss Mayor Look You all would have fulfilled all the checks and balances if you truly wanted unity if you truly wanted what is best for the residents. if you truly wanted to move forward_ appoint Gracey now If you can't, your only option is a special election Respect the community Honor our democracy Be a council of your oath Deciding it for yourselves is uneventful and an embarrassment.

It does not matter how much a special election will cost, it should be up to the citizens to select who they want to represent them. It is not up to the council to 'pack the court' in an undemocratic manner. I am disgusted that Dan Kalmick is allowed to sit on the council and place a vote when he is fully in favor of discriminatory actions. His own words show that he is not capable of being unbiased and if he is not honorable to exclude himself, the Mayor should do so. I am disgusted with Natalie, who seems to not give a care about those who vote, she does not consider the citizens voice, only her and her puppet masters voice matters. I am disgusted that the Mayor does actions that are clearly in violation of the Brown Act and nothing happens, why are these violations not being investigated? Why do we have a mayor who is in line with the thinking of Pelosi and Newson "the laws do not apply to me" ? THIS VOTE BELONGS TO THE CITIZENS, YOU HAVE I IAD YOUR OPPORTUNITY TO SELECT AND YOU COULD NOT,NOW YOU HAVE HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO DO SOME ARM TWISTING TO WORK ON GETTING YOUR CANDIDATE IN. NOT A CANDIDATE THE CITIZENS WANT. I pray that Barbara and Posey have enough backbone and concern for the citizens that they will not allow you to strong arm them. THis is the most corrupt group I have ever witnessed. Hold a special election or hold a recall election. The citizens will be heard one way or another.

Gracie would create balance in the city council, which is the reason that Tito received so many votes. Many residents of HB want their voices heard, and are worried that the remainder of the council members do not represent those voices. By appointing Gracie, you would be making the council more equitable for all view points. Please refrain from appointing a member who does not represent the same voices who voted in Tito. That would only make certain that the same voters would make sure these people aren't voted in again. Thank you for listening to the people you represent.

In this case it is Gracey Van Der Mark. The City Council should review this suggestion as a permanent procedural recommendation.

Please consider that our government, at all levels, is first and always a representative Republic. This means that we the citizens are to elect our representatives. If the Council will not conduct a special election for this replacement, the only logical and proper way forward is to look at the previous election, held only 8 months ago, and select someone from that election to replace Mr. Ortiz. This may be inconvenient for some on the Council but that is unimportant. We citizens expect and demand the seat be filed from the candidates who actually ran for office in the previous election.

Very constructive. Such news is a welcome relief from the last few months of public relations disasters.

She will do a great job of representing hb residents on the council. I've lived in hb since I was 8 years old and went to school here and left and came back. Now I'm raising my school aged children here. This town is slowly turning into Santa Monica. It's crowded, dirty and dangerous. We don't go to the beach anymore because of the needles and the homeless people. My kids also don't go to the public schools because of the quality of the education. I don't believe high density housing, allowing crime or allowing amazon warehouses improves our standard of living or the school quality.

It is the people who elect their representatives to serve them NOT for officials to their political interests and lobbyists.The potential appointees can run in a special election too and follow the process as other candidates. It is quite shocking and irresponsible that the nominees who want to replace Tito Ortiz's seat could not even take the time to show up at HB City Council meeting.! This is not the kind of representation the people of Huntington Beach deserve nor expect. Typically, it is common for the person, in this case Gracie who ran a campaign, who was runner up to be appointed the seat. The democratic process supports at a minimum to hold a special election if runner up cannot be appointed. It is imperative for the people to elect their public officials who represent them not bipartisan politicians. The HB community do not want politicians to block the process to which their voices can be heard. Appointing a council member could set precedence that elected councilmembers who are elected and have to leave or are pushed out are replaced taking away the voices of the community and the democratic process of hosting elections! This cannot nor should not ever happen. Removing the election process from the community is a form of voter suppression and will not be tolerated. As there is no fiscal burden, over 3.5 year term left, and the majority of the HB community want a special election why would the Council not perform a Special Election?

With over 100+ applicants to fill the current vacancy, your work has become more challenging. As long time resident, I'm writing to provide my public comment on this matter. I understand the City Council has narrowed the list to three potential candidates. 1. I've observed that there is an effort to appoint the 4th place finisher for the vacant seat. This would be an easy act however, despite the candidate's positioning that her appointment would "honor the vote," I believe the vote was honored when the top 3 finishers of the election were seated onto the HB City Council. Her"close but no cigar"4th place finish does not mean that she should automatically be placed in the open seat. If the residents of HB wanted her on the City Council, then they would have voted in sufficient numbers to place her somewhere in first through third place during the last election. 2. 1 am aware that the city charter allows the current and remaining City Councilmembers to appoint a replacement and I also realize the balancing act you are navigating with the financial cost of a special election. I am supportive of the person the six remaining Councilmembers can come to agreement on. However, I do want to say that a special election will give all of the residents a voice and a sense of legitimacy to the person who ultimately fills the vacant seat. Thank you for your consideration. Linda Akutagawa t Moore, Tania From: Fikes, Cathy Sent: Monday, July 26, 2021 3:39 PM To: Agenda Alerts Subject: FW: HONOR THE VOTE for Gracey Van Der Mark.....

Having members select who replaces him without any consideration to the 2020 election vote tally seems incredibly anti-democratic. The current city council is the most ineffective I have witnessed, and you certainly do not have any voter mandate to make the seat selection, thus the replacement should be who received the most votes in the last election not some crony the three leftists agree upon or hold a new election. Last fall's election was an anomaly, and the new members' actions suggest they'll only serve one term as they are out of touch with the voters.

I pay a significant amount of property taxes, local taxes and sales taxes in our city. Some may assume I come from privilege but I can assure you, I do not. I grew up in the cities of Hawthorne, Lawndale and Gardena all of which are in Los Angeles County, not far from South L.A. My mom was divorced and we struggled financially. But she taught me a strong work ethic and the difference between right and wrong. I witnessed first hand the communities where I grew up turn in to high crime areas with gang activity. I watched as my high school had to hire armed guards to deal with the violence on that once peaceful campus. I saw property values drop significantly and good families move away. Local government was busy making deals with local UNIONS and making excuses for bad behavior. People say that cannot happen in Huntington Beach. I know differently. We don't want a council that says YES to every proposal that sounds like it's the "nice" thing to do. We need a council that rewards hard working, honest people, regardless of income level. I have worked three jobs at a time while taking classes at night. My goat was NEVER to expect to earn a living wage from a menial job. I knew those jobs were my stepping stones to something better. My home was broken in to on June 9, 2021. The woman who entered my home was caught on our video surveillance cameras. She sat across the street on a chair on the sidewalk and looked back and forth (casing the neighborhood)for 18 minutes before illegally entering my home. Amongst other things, she stole three sets of car keys. We see her on camera spending 20 minutes trying to steal our car. She had only the door key but tirelessly did her best to jam every key in to the ignition. We learned that she had robbed Walgreens the same morning, was book at the HBPD, then released which gave her the opportunity to steal from me and disturb my peace of mind. This is going on ALL OVER Huntington Beach. I realize this is a gross failure by some of our Assembly persons and Senators in Sacramento who feel more comfortable with allowing $950 of stolen goods NOT be prosecuted than to protect good and decent people who, like most of us,worked hard to earn those items that are now gone for good. Through the decades, people who wandered around drunk or loaded on narcotics were given the message that they could NOT set up camp wherever they feel like it. Illegal drug use in public, prostituting, abuse, theft, vulgar language, urinating and defecating in public were crimes against decency—they still are. There is nothing compassionate about allowing this to continue. Look at L.A. and San Francisco for examples. When the answer is NO, people can often come to the conclusion that they need to get help, accept help, or change their behavior. I speak from experience, as I have had people close to me in this situation. t I'm a woman who has experienced the type of abuse that typically only women experience. Life is NOT fair. But I don't expect a nanny government to make my like easy. I expect them to enforce the laws, protect law abiding citizens, keep taxes low so people are motivated to work, then GET OUT OF THE WAY! I'm no right wing nut. What I am, like so many of us in HB, is a person who believes in Democracy and induvial responsibility. We need to cut out the nonsense that keeps the narrative that people are victims and need special treatment. The laws are on the books! People need to work hard and obey the law. Then, somehow, we can have a decent life Not a perfect life, Not a perfectly fair life. But a decent life. We are not children who all must have the exact same sized cookie. I implore you, Council, to approve a special election to fill the seat vacated by Tito Ortiz. It is the Democratic thing to do. Thank you for your service.

Last nights meeting not only was a dog and pony show of a sham, but shows exactly how CORRUPT the mayor and her cronies are. The city charter states that if the council cannot come to an agreement it is to be opened to the public to a special election. It does of state that the mayor can keep putting the vote off allowing her time to coerce. strove arm or make promises in order to get her way. Wonder what promises you made to Barbara? To the Mayor: Last night you disenfranchised a large voting block of the population of 1-I13. Last night you showed that you are a dictator and not a leader. In a democracy, the citizens elect their representatives. in a democracy the leaders do not elect those in line with their way of thinking in order to further ruin our great city, that is called socialism. To Barbara: .A week ago you acted as though you cared about the citizens and voted in favor of a special election, last night, the mayor prompted you to read the speech that was written for You, taking the vote away from the citizens. You showed its that you have no moral compass, you do not have standards, you are merely a bought and paid for puppet who was offered something that will give you personal gain but will cost the citizens a great deal. You made a deal with the devil. I pray that karma treats VOL) in the same manner as you treated the citizens by turning Your back on us. You are a disgrace to the embodiment of democracy and taimess. -Fo Dan: Your bias against the old people of the community and those that are ill. is something that should have disqualified you to vote. You have shown that you vote based on discrininimation and that should never have been allowed. You do not have the morality to recluse yourself and the mayor should have done so in fairness to the older and infirm citizens in HB. Wondering also where you donate your money to that the city gives you. you state VOL] are a volunteer, so please show us that you truly are a volunteer and donate all your wages. Or are you just not aware what the definition of a volunteer is. 'Fo Natalie: Cannot put into words how harmful you are to our city, the way you engage with citizens. so explosive. so demeaning, so superior. -1-he only way you are in the position you are is becasuse the POA supported you.

Thank you for all you do. To Rhonda: If you wanted to be on the council it should have been through an election, not be handed the seat by members who have taken away the rights of the citizens. If you are really the best candidate you should have wanted a special election and provin to the citizens that you are the one who would best serve. This is the most corrupt, unethical, bought and paid for city council ever and the citizens need to do something. We cannot stand for this type of behavior in a democracy.

I was next door to city council chambers when public comments were going on —we had just presented on emergency preparedness for the Mobile Home Advisory Board. Many members of the public were raucous and contentious. I am so grateful you withstood that criticism and acted with integrity and rationality. I do not believe it was in the city's best interests to have a general election in November (costing about$1M). I also feel you made a good choice in the selection of Rhonda Bolton to replace Tito Ortiz. I feel she will contribute an additional voice of reason to the other six members of the City Council. You all may not be supported by everyone — I guess that is to be expected. But I appreciate you all making your thoughts clearly known and voting accordingly.

The results are in...you have chosen to replace Tito Ortiz's seat with a completely new person who didn't even run for the position in November 2020 (how suspicious). Your decision says everything we need to know. WE WILL NOT BE SILENT ABOUT THIS. WE WILL MAKE OUR VOICES HEARD. WE WILL BE LOUD ABOUT OUR CONCERNS. HB CITY COUNCIL IS CORRUPT AND BOUGHT OUT. YOU ARE A DISGRACE TO OUR COMMUNITY. YOU DO NOT REI'RESENT YOUR PEOPLE. Let me remind you that you took an oath to your country, your state, your city, your community. Let me also remind von that your entire community is aware that you took an oath. We now know by your choice of the the appointed I-IB City Council member whether or not you stood by your oath. You clearly did not. You have an obligation to represent your people. You clearly did not. The people in your community want Tito Ortiz's seat to be replaced by Gracey Van Der Mark. She represents our values, our morals. our work ethics, hence the reason she won 4th place in Nov. 2020. That is a fact. Apparently, you do not like facts because it does not align with your agenda (ho,.y suspicious). Here are some more facts... You failed to remember Your oath, thus resulting in a torn community. one in which the people's voices are not valued or treasured. You failed to represent the people in your community. thus proving that you are corrupt and have special interests that do not align with your community members. You failed to abide by common justice and equality. thus your community members will never support you again. We will not allow you to hold your position. You have chosen to not make the right choice on this appointment, and your community members will not be silent about it. We will make sure our voices and our concerns are heard. We will make sure that you are aware how hard we will fight for our rights as citizens of HB. We will make sure you are doing your job correctly. Clearly. the FIB City Council does not work for it's people. This begs the question...who ARE you working for then? People are waking up to the Truth. We know your treasonous secrets. we know your dirty tricks, we know your evil lies. We knotty exactly who You are working for. Best option is for you to conic clean, but we all know You are incapable of doing that since you take orders from EVIL. EVERY lie will be revealed. ALL Truth will come to Light.

As a 34 year resident in 11B, 1 have followed our city government fix over three decades. You are all serving at the most contentious time since I've been a resident. Just watching the meetings, I can imagine that it must be very difficult to manage all the personalities that are a little louder than usual. I would like to commend you for sparing us from a costly special election. 1 was prepared to accept the council's appointment based on the structure of the application process- regardless of who you appointed- and I decided to trust that the city council would find a strong replacement to fill the vacancy. 1 believe you found a wonderful replacement in Rhonda Barton. I look forward to seeing thoughtful discussions at future city council meetings as you all work for the betterment of our community. I know that once this bluster passes, the strengths of the council will continue to shine. Sincerely, Lorelei Lachman 17181 'I wain Lane Huntington Beach, CA 92649 t
