Filling an unscheduled vacancy on the City Council (continued from July 19, 2021)
body
Statement of Issue:
On June 1 2021 . Mayor Pro Tern Jacob "Tito" Ortiz abandoned and resigned his City Council seat.
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.

I urge you ALL to authorize a special election. We the people should decide*
It's the most fair, honest, equitable, and transparent process*.
The cost will be well worth it.
Besides, much more than one million dollars has been wasted on the homeless

As I woke up this morning, I just feel hopeless. 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.

Subject: City Council Vacancy
You campaigned for your seat on the council and the voters selected you for the job. 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.

Just gave up on the illusion of trying to seem impartial or representing your constituents at all'? Quite the

by any other council member, and your recall is already in the works should you not vote nest Monday for the
special election you should have voted for last night. If you're so confident in Bolton, or at least your handlers
are, then put her in front of the people and do the work to convince us. You arc not God, you do not speak for
the majority of us and you are so obviously dirty. Shame on you.
Get a conscience.

Subject: Last nights special meeting
After watching last nights meeting here is what I walk away with:
1. 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.

I was at the meeting this evening. This was a total failure of you and your people on the council. The thing that
most amazed me was the facts as stated by most on the counsel was that lack of regard for the people you are
suppose to represent. Rather than that of your own political agendas. 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. As stated at the meeting as
well I expect not to get anything in return, since you seem or choose not to reply to the small folks out here that
pay your salary to represent us.

Subject: Replacement Council Member
Dear Council Members,
I watched with dismay the meeting today. 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.
Thank you,
Wendy Lex
A proud HB constituent

Subject: vacant council seat
Dear City Council members,
I watched the city council meeting last night on tv because my husband and I are interested in who would be appointed
to the vacant council seat.
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.
Thank you,
Annie Kelly

Council,
1 am aware of the challenges facing our city and filling the cc seat. I am hoping the cc can pick a candidate that
truly represents the residents. There was a comment made my Mr. Kalmick in regards to not selecting a person
because of age and health status. To me this is a potential lawsuit and 1 hope other Council members do not
judge someone based on their age, race, religion but on the charter and willingness to do good. I think it would
be a good idea to discuss and maybe he can apologize and understand that we do have a large senior population
and they are equally important.
Thank you,

Subject: Special Election HOLD THE LINE
Importance: High
Eric, Barbara and Mike, well done, please, hold the line. The 3 woke amigos just want to firth vote and majority to
do...who knows what. This should be the will of the people. I will gladly approve some of my taxes to go towards a
special election. I'm happy the Tito thing is over, as it was way too contentious. HOLD THE LINE, until Aug 1, then the
people will be served and be allowed to choose.

First I watt/ to thank Barbara Delglieze. Michael Posey, and Erik Peterson for them coming together on the push for a Vote to keep
the Democratic Process Alive by allowing a General 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. My guess that your delay is so VOL] can
consult with your I landlers The POA and the Unions and all Special Interests that guide your every vote. I Urge and Demand that you
come together and Vote to give the community their Vote and Voices in this process. If Not the Price you will Pay will be your shun
legacy.

that Kalmick and Moser will be facing a recall and that is going to happen when you are the Mayor. Don't side

Subject: Special Election
I have been a resident of Huntington Beach for over 42 years. 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'?? As a homeowner/taxpayer I do not wish to have my
hard earned dollars supporting this.
Thank you.

longer a priority?
Each of you were elected because voters believed that you would be able to reach compromise when necessary. Now is
the time.
You agreed on a process to reach consensus on how to appoint a new council member.
We trust you to do the right thing. Do not waste our tax dollars on a special election,

I am writing to say how appalled I am that certain council members would even consider the idea of
spending one million plus dollars on a special election to till the seat vacated when Tito Ortiz quit. I am
completely opposed to this so-called solution: the number one reason being that there is so much more our city
could be doing with this money than fund an ill conceived special election.
I respectfully ask that the council follow the city charter and work together to select the person to fill this

Dear Mayor Carr and City Council Members,
I have been perplexed about how to solve the selection stalemate on the seventh Council
Member that would eliminate the choice between Jeff Morin and Rhonda Bolton. 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.
Sincerely,
Tim Geddes

Subject:Code of conduct for attendees of city council meeting and other public meetings
Hello council members,
I am writing to ask that you post and enforce a code of conduct for attendees of city council meetings and any
other meetings were the public is allowed.
There was far too much uncalled for disturbances created by the audience at Monday's meeting about
appointing a replacement for the council member who resigned abruptly in June. People are and should
continue to make public comments. Time limits should be enforced.
When members of the audience are not at the podium, they should have to adhere to rules...you know, behave
like adults. There should be no shouting, loud talking, or any kind of disruptions to the proceedings. People
should be escorted out of the building if, after one warning, they do not stop disrupting the proceedings.
Thank you.

Subject: City Council Meeting on Monday, 7/19/201
Council Members Carr, Moser, & Kalmick:
What I witnessed last night at the Special Meeting to fill Mr. Ortiz's vacant spot confirms what I have been thinking all
along. 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.

on the 19th. Hang in there and continue to push for Gracie, or at least a special election so that the voters can

Subject: New council member/Middle Income Housing
This is the first time I've ever written to the city council. 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.

Thank you for hanging tough by not allowing a back-room deal to put another liberal on the council. It is likely
that Kalmick and Moser will be facing a recall and that is going to happen when you are the Mayor. Don't side
with them now or you will get painted with the same brush. I prefer that you side with appointing Gracie, but
if you can not do that, then demand a special election and let the voters choose.

Good evening city council.
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 lust 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 lust 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 its 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 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 lust like you families of HB
These residents wanted her in that position on council. Oh But if it wasnt 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 cant, 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. You proved that last
night Let 204.000 residents have a say
Give us the special election.

Good Morning,
As a resident of the great city of Huntington Beach I want to voice my opinion regarding the direction of the
replacement process.
With this unfortunate situation our city has been placed in it only makes sense to follow the direction of the voters. The
timing of this incident is so close to the recent election the right thing to do is respect the voice of the community and
choose the next candidate with the most votes.
The arbitrary appointment by standing council members is not a process that considers the voice of the community. I
urge you to do the right thing.

To Whom it Concerns,
have been a resident of Huntington Beach for 20 years. 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.
Respectfully,

Dear City Council,
I'm frustrated to learn that the city council is planning on making an appointment to replace Ortiz rather than honoring
the vote from November. If the council is not going to honor the vote, then there needs to be a new election held. The
way the council is functioning is undemocratic and is a violation of representation.

not electing the person who was next in line with the most votes
Only our City Attorney speaks with reason and common sense. The rest of you
should be ashamed of your actions as political operatives. Huntington Beach is
conservative for the most part -- about 60%-and you are ignoring all of us. Think about
your jobs as representatives for all. Do not choose a diversity cheerleader and one

Subject: City Council Vacancy
It has come to my attention that the City Council is considering filling Mr Tito's vacant seat via appointment rather than
referencing the results of the recent election or new election. As a HB resident and voter, I expect the Council members
to take into account the will of the voters and seat the fourth runner-up from the 2020 election or call for a new
election. I will be following this issue as it unfolds and will take into account the decisions of individual council members
in future election cycles.

Hello,
I am a concerned voting resident of Huntington Beach. After watching the city council meeting last week, I am
unapologetically angry with council members Moser, Kalmick and Posey. It is very clear that their political views are
driving their decision to replace Ortiz' spot on city council. Please honor my vote and place Gracery Vandermark in this
position or offer a special election.

Subject: Gracey Van Der Mark
City Council Members,
I am writing to support Gracey Van Der Mark to be appointed to the city council in the position vacated by Tito Ortiz. 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. I have lived in HB since 1974 and I am very well connected and will join the
fight against the direction this council is taking our city.

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).
Sincerely,
RoseAnna Alcala

Subject: Filling the vacant City Council seat
Hi Barbara,
I wanted to send you a quick email first, to thank you for your votes at the last meeting concerning filling the
position on the City Council. 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.

Subject:Council Vacancy'
Huntington Beach, a city heavily dependent on tourism for tax revenues, has become a late night punchline and
is now associated with white supremacy, nazis, and general ignorance thanks to the events of the last year. 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.

Subject: Appointment - no special election
Dear Honorable Members of the Huntington Beach City Council,
As a resident of the city for more than 25 years, I urge you to abide by the city's Charter and reach a consensus in order
to appoint a new council member to fill the seat vacated by Tito Ortiz. 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. That decision should be guided by
what is best for the future of Huntington Beach.
Sincerely,
Jeff Rokos

Dear City Council Members.
I am so disgusted by your blatant refusal to Honor The Vote and allow Gracey Van Der Mark to step into Tito's
shoes. Had it been one of your cronies like Oscar you wouldn't hesitate to usher him in.
I've also heard that you would like to bring in an UNKNOWN by the name of Rhonda Bolton and while she
may be a smart lady just let her run for CC like the rest of the candidates.
In my honest opinion you are allowing your egos and pressure from the Huddle etc. to get in the way (exception
of Erik Peterson) and not doing the will of the residents! Remember us? We allegedly voted for you.
Honor the vote, accept Gracey and gain the trust of the people for a change.

conduct a special election. With only a modicum of respect, Fred Hesse 8581 Palermo Drive, HB

How easy is it to spend the dollars of Huntington Beach residents? No money from your pocket, right? Instead of acting
like adults to name a new council member you squabble like children displaying your special interests; willing to spend
$1 million hard-earned taxpayer dollars for an unnecessary election.
Is this really your idea of governance?What a poor example you set.
What would be unfair about choosing the people's next highest vote recipient? Seems like that's what the voters
wanted. Politicians/city councils seem to care less and less about what voters want moving their own agenda forward
instead. Ask yourselves what is best for surf city?Am I serving my constituents or someone/thing else?

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.

Subject:Special Meeting Adjournment Clarification
Good Afternoon City Council:
With regards to the Special Meeting that occurred on July 19, 2021 I wanted to email for clarification of the
following section below that is on the City's website -specifically the area I bolded and underlined. 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.
Thank you,
Kathy

Good evening city council.
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. You proved that last
night Let 204.000 residents have a say
Give us the special election SUPPLEMENTAL

from DC who sells a leftist racial program to governments, private industry and schools. We strongly object to any and all
race propaganda in HB. Not the American way. All things will be exposed and your connection to them.

It is unconscionable to appoint someone who never ran for office simply so you can promote your political ideology.
Gracey VanDerMark won the votes and is the choice of the people.
Don't waste our tax dollars with a new election. Please do the job you were democratically elected to do.

money spent on any special election. As to Ortiz his overwhelming election was a clear message about what the HB

Subject: Let democracy work
I am very disgusted with the actions of the current city council members who will not allow the voice of the
people be heard. 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.

Dear City Council Members,
1 am writing in support of the appointment of Gracie Van der Mark to the position that Tito vacated. 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.

July 26, 2021
Subject: Special HB election to replace a city council member who resigned.
Based on cost vs. effective value, it is the opinion of the undersigned HB resident that a special election is not
prudent.in the Ortiz matter.
Ortiz resigned for good cause, and it should follow logically that his city council seat be filed in a timely manner
by the runner up with the most votes cast in the last city council election. In this case it is Gracey Van Der Mark.
The City Council should review this suggestion as a permanent procedural recommendation.
The goal of the new policy and procedure being to replace a vacated council seat in a cost effective and timely manner.
Sincerely

Subject:Tito Ortiz replacement
Dear HB City Council Members,
You are in the process of appointing a replacement for Tito Ortiz. 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.
Thank you for considering my input.

Dear HB City Council,
Simple - appoint a conservative to replace Tito Ortiz. The conservative vote was split among many candidates in Nov
2020. In total, the vote was clear.
Conservatives still have a majority in this city, and should have a majority on the council.

Subject: Please honor HB citizens vote and save $$$
1 am writing to you today to request that you please honor the vote of the people of Huntington Beach in our past election
and go to the next candidate down the list that had the next highest tally of votes and instate that candidate to take Tito
Ortiz' position on the city council
We already voted. and not quite sure why you are not willing to honor that vote If there are many more candidates now
that want that position as an "appointment"without having to do the groundwork in the public eye to gain the trust and
vote of the people then they are quite possibly looking for a quick way into the City Council without having to put in the
sweat equity
This appointment should not be picked by the City Council members anyway Each has their own opinions and agendas.
that do not always align with the majority voters
If there were to be a "special" election held to choose a new candidate, what a complete waste of taxpayer money that
could be better served of use in so many areas of our precious city For example. curtailing the homeless struggles within
our city walls, much needed work on our beaches, helping the poor, etc. or many other programs where that money would
be better served
By the city council members not being willing to honor the vote of the people at our last election. you may not realize it,
but this looks very poorly upon you as city council members That you are willing to waste so many hard earned tax payer
funds to self serve your own agenda or possibly to "hand-pick" by appointment someone that will stack the decks in your
own favor to promote your own ideals and desires This is NOT what you were elected to do You were elected by your
constituents to do a job based upon your promises and choosing someone or holding a wasteful special election was not
one of them So far, many of you have lost respect in our eyes for the way you have been conducting yourselves through
this dilemma
Please honor our vote that was already cast, and hard fought for If the next person on the list cannot or is unwilling to
fulfill this empty seat, then continue to go down the list These candidates already put in the time and have earned
it. Please keep your integrity. your honor and my respect for you by honoring our vote in our great city
Thank you.

You need to honor the votes of Nov 3rd, 2020 and give the open seat to the next highest voted
candidate, Gracey Van Der Mark, whom I voted for.
You will all be primaried or recalled if you continue on this highly liberal partisan path.

I was delighted to see you generate some great, positive news coverage for Huntington Beach last week.
Not only did you move HB forward on a modern Sustainability Plan, but HB also got praise for the start of the
Be Well program. Be Well will ease the burden on Police of non-criminal complaints. Very constructive.
Such news is a welcome relief from the last few months of public relations disasters. As a tourist destination
with millions of dollars and thousands of jobs at stake, HB can ill afford bad publicity, especially when it
springs from the offices of the Council.
Please, continue the momentum and select someone for the Council who will be a constructive, reasoned voice
to support your efforts to make Huntington Beach a safe and prosperous place for all its residents and a
hospitable destination for families, tourists, businesses and visitors.
Coincidentally, I can't help but notice that a single-issue, impromptu election to replace one candidate will cost
as much as a full year of the Be Well program. Please,don't waste my money on an unnecessary election.
Follow the Charter. Select an informed, constructive colleague..

I'm asking the council to respect the wishes of the voters and hb citizens and appoint Gracey Van der Mark to the vacant
council seat. 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. I'm hoping you'll do your duty and appoint someone that will fight
to make hb a beautiful, safe small town for hb residents once again.
Thank you,

I am appalled about what is happening to America; it is heartbreaking that the Huntington Beach city council wants to
dominate in accordance with the philosophy of the left. I am 81 years old and I'm disgusted that those who achieved
success because of the freedom and liberty of America now want to use that power to impose control and denial to
others.

As Gracie is the next runner up, it seems to me it is the will of the voters to choose her.
It should not be a City Council decision of who to pick.

Subject: Hold a special election
Hello Council Members,
I have grave concerns that with almost a full term left that HB council members would push to appoint next
representative instead of holding a special election. 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?
Thanks,
Jeanine D.

Subject: City Council vacancy
Huntington Beach City Councilmembers,
Thank you for your service on behalf of the residents of Huntington Beach. 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

That being said. Gracey Van Der Mark is next in line and you should honor the votes from the most recent election we

Good Day,
I have been a resident of Huntington Beach since June of 1994, and the current situation regarding replacing of Ortiz is
the most dismaying. 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.

Kimberly Weir

I am respectfully requesting that the city council eliminate the need to have an expensive "Special Election". Please
appoint whichever candidate received the next highest votes for City Council during the last election (but did not
win). This has nothing to do with political party, it has to do with democracy, the intended will or the people and saving
the City residents from more divisiveness and moving the City forward in a positive, unbiased and fair manner in tending
to the business of our city needs.
Thank you for your service to our great city.

Honorable Huntington Beach City Council members:
It's very unfortunate that Tito Ortiz had to resign his seat on the Council in order to protect his family.
As to selecting his replacement, there are only 2 fair options. The first, and easiest, is to select the next highest vote
getter(fourth place finisher) in last November's election, Gracey Vandermark.
If the Council is not comfortable doing that, then the only other fair thing to do is to hold a special election.
I strongly and respectfully encourage you to do one of these two things. If the Council is concerned with the cost of a
special election, then appoint Gracey.
Thank you for your service to our city,
Sincerely,

Subject: City Council Seat Open
Hello Council Members and Council Assistant,
My name is Kathy Vuono and I own two homes in Huntington Beach. 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.
Kind regards,
Kathy Vuono

Dear Mayor Carr and members of the Huntington Beach City Council.
As a resident of Huntington Beach I am writing you today to ask you each to follow our city charter and appoint
a council member to the recently vacated position.
No Special Election!
Huntington Beach should not be put in the position where we must hold an expensive, one million plus dollars_
special election. There are many ways those tax dollars could be better spent.
It is your responsibility as our duly elected city council members to appoint a replacement upon the resignation
of a council member. Your constituents elected you to fulfill such responsibilities to our city. Do yourjob. We
are counting on you to do your best by Huntington Beach. You each have the skills and abilities to look at
issues objectively and make decisions that you determine are best for our city. I ask that you choose a person
who will represent us and our city honorably, with our best interests at heart, who is Without prejudice or a
greedy heart, someone we can respect and serves us well.
Now is the time for you to put your competent heads together and reach agreement on an equally competent
person to fill the vacated seat.
Sincerely.

You should honor the vote that the citizens of Huntington Beach made during the November, 2020 election. That is

1 am a resident of Huntington Beach and I believe you should honor the vote of the citizens by appointing Gracey to the
open council position. Please respect the vote of the residents and do what is right. She got the next highest number of
votes and it's right that she should be appointed to the open city council position.
Thank you.

Council members.
It is very simple to choose who replaces Tito Ortiz's vacant seat.
It is a non-partisan decision. lust go to the vote which is not even a year old and install whoever came in fourth.
This is the fairest decision for the voters. I don't care if it was a Republican or Democrat or independent. The
voters already spoke last November. Don't make this a circus or a science project.

We were all in for "honor the vote" but after careful consideration and research, we found that you may be selecting Tito
again in female version. We find the emails sent to us a little disturbing in the way that they plan to take over your work done
thus far. She is attempting through other residents to bully her way in. We would like a qualified council member who would
be hands on, in for the long haul and be present. Thank you

Dear Cite Council.
Since Tito resigned in .tune I think the best thing to do is to put in Gracey Vandermark. She received the most
votes after Tito. She would be an asset to the City Council because she is so popular with so many Huntington
Beach residents.
Thank you for your service.

To the members of the luntington Beach City Council.
I tun a long time resident of Huntington Reach and I want to know why the vacant City Council Scat is not Doing to the next in line (in
order of votes received)which would be Gracey Van Der Mark. Why in the world would any of you propose someone else for the
vacant seat when Van Der .Mark is clearly next in line for it"
As Council members. you represent the wants and needs OF THE RESIDENTS OF 1.113...not yourselves. You, as a City Council
Member, need to honor the voices of the residents who have voted in the elections....not your personal wishes. If you cannot earn,out
a simple task like that. then you have no business being a representative for me or the people of 11B.
1 am strongly urging you to HONOR THE VOTE from the election. If you do not, it will become extremely obvious that the voices of
H13 voters are ignored by you and you have your own secret agenda. If Gracey Van Der Mark does not fill the vacant City Council
Seat, then I no longer have trust in your intentions as a City Council Member.
Respectfully.

As a longtime resident of Huntington Beach I must say I ant very concerned with how the council is choosing to

you select the candidate who received the next highest vote count, and from what I am aware of that was
Gracey Van Der Mark. How is this not the obvious resolve?
Please do the right thing and listen to the voters.

Subject: Last night special session
1 have never been so embarrassed by and disgusted with our city representatives ever. 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. You bring nothing of value to our city.
-1-0 Posey: Cannot stand you but at least you tried to get an election. unless of course you did no knowing it
would never go anywhere...
t
To Eric: You are the only voice of reason on the council. you are the only person who truly cares about our city
and about the rights of the citizens. 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. We are not a socialist country but HB
has a socialist council.
A very upset, angry and disgusted CITIZEN,

Good morning Councilmember Delgleize,
I want to commend you for your courage and respect for all resident voters of Huntington Beach. I appreciate the fact
you stood on courage and respect for all and not a political alignment. I really thought last night was going to be a repeat
of the previous council meetings of insults, chants, and threats towards you and your colleagues. Thank you for doing
the right thing, that took courage!
I had come to the point that since it was an impasse among council members, the only thing was to appoint the
candidate that came in fourth in the 2020 election, because the group of bullies demonstrated a Lord of the Flies
mentality or just move to a special election, although it would only be a cost to all residents. Thank you for taking that
courageous step showing all residents that all votes count.
I support all the hard work you and other council members have done for Huntington Beach, and I will continue to
support all of you on the council. One evening one of your colleagues stated, "if we are looking to check all the right
boxes", for me it's not about checking boxes, it's about finding the best person to move forward in addressing the
needs, services, and equity for all residents in Huntington Beach; and you addressed that task last night. Kudos!!! You
have my continued support as a resident and hopefully one day, we can say we are friends.
Respectfully,
Gigi Jackson

Barbara Delgleize,
The City Council took an elected seat from the HB residents today. Your website stated "elected" Rhonda
Bolton who was NOT elected as she was appointed by partisan politicians serving your own political
agendas.. Be prepared for a lawsuit and recall efforts to ensue. I understand a recall plan by the citizens of
Huntington Beach was already in the works against certain council members. l will be joining in their
fightP I'm serving with people who initiated the Newsom recall which is now 1 st successful volunteer based
recall in CA./US. history. I will be using my knowledge from the Newsom recall, in,,. resources available to me.
including legal ones to support HB council members recall.
Barbara Delaqueize shame on you for clearly having back door communications and having Rhonda Bolton be
present at meeting tonight an obvious move discussions occured. You have shown the public that you are
serving your own political agenda and are not the people or for Democracy. We will see how that works out for
you. Noone thought we could get Dictator Newsom recalled and we did with 2.1 million signatures. I assure
you 20,000 signatures will be much easier with the changes that are going on for the worst in HB. Your vote
today will help our cause. By the way stop flying the LGBTQ flag over the HB Pier without conducting a vote
by citizens of Huntington Beach. You took an oath to serve the people, not your lobbyists and corrupt political
agendas.

It is important to the voters of Huntington Beach that the Huntington Beach City Council replace Tito Ortiz
with Gracey Van Der Mark. Tito Ortiz got more votes than any other candidate and the voters expect you to
replace him with the next candidate down the roster!
As a voter and taxpayer of Huntington Beach I want MY vote to determine the representatives on the City
Council not some committee of council persons! Gracey Van Der Mark was the next in line so deserves to
serve on the City Council!
Do the right thing by replacing Tito Ortiz with Gracey Van Der Mark. Your re-election will be coming up soon
and people will remember your vote!
It is the voters/people that make the decision! You must understand that is how the system works best!!
Choosing representatives that the voters want to represent them! You would not be full tilling your
responsibilities if you did not honor the people that voted!

To all council members,
Shame on you for not honoring the vote. In the election, Huntington Beach residents gave the next highest vote count to
Gracey Van Der Mark, who should now fill the vacant seat. I am disgusted that you would try to install another leftist on
the city council without the people's vote. The people deserve to have their voices heard. It shows you do not care what
the residents want. I will not support any council members who allow this to happen. Stealing a city council seat for the
Democrats is the way you operate because you know the residents will not vote for another leftist. Obviously, you are
afraid a Democrat can't win an election.

Dear Council Person Delgleize,
I would like to thank you and commend you for your vote for Rhonda Bolton last night. I think she will be an excellent
addition to our city council based on her qualifications and approach to the position. I imagine it was not an easy vote
for you to cast, and I appreciate your judgment and courage in doing it.
Thank you also for all the work you do on behalf of the citizens of Huntington Beach.

Congratulations to Barhbara Delgleize for her fortitude in announcing selection of Vts. Bolton. The booing and
rude behavior by supporters of another candidate is the very reason we need mature professionals such
as Delgleize and Bolton. Amtitne Posey and Peterson do not like Cite Council decisions, let them offer
to pay for special elections. How dare they ask city taxpayers to do that!

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. You have helped Huntington Beach get back to governing.

Blessings.
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. Unlike you and your Deep State kind, Nye have the
power of Truth and Love on our side. In the end. we will :) <3 :) <3

Thank you for performing your legal and appropriate obligation related to filling the vacancy on the board.
There was lots of noise and disrespect directed your way but, in the end, you followed what the law allowed,
performed a thorough selection process and saved concerned citizens of HB a huge amount of money. I see
the effort around the city to improve the communities we live in and invest in sometimes mundane (paving
residential streets) things that need attention. While not flashy it sends a message you care about the city and
serving us as best you can.

The will of the people who voted put Gracey Van Der Mark next in line for the open seat. And in addition she was a
conservative. You just proved you are a bunch of partisan hacks who care about yourselves and not OUR City.
All of you, start looking for another career or another City to try and corrupt, because it won't be Huntington Beach. I

Dear vlavor Kim Carr and City Council members.
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
