Greetings Mayor Strickland,Pro Tern Gracey Van Der Mark, Councilman Pat Burns and
Casey McKeon.
Thank you Mayor Strickland for leading the Council on the right path during your time
serving as Mayor. You did it professionally, instituted so many new things like the coffee
meet ups and town halls and all the activities you participated in. I don't recall anything like
that other than ribbon cuttings from the previous council or photo ops from the previous
majority. I also don't recall any other council who listened to the citizens and accomplished so
much in one year; unless, it was related to high density or self serving. You have been true to
HB and the accomplishments represent that. Thank you so much!
Pro Tem Gracey Van Der Mark,thank you so much for all you have done and the items that
you have brought forward and your tenacity. You are a saint,for sure. I look forward to your
Mayorship. I have never seen a Pro Tem with such leadership, involvement and fantastic input
before. So unbelievably refreshing. I know,you know that you have huge support as the votes
reflect same!
I would like to share my thoughts on agenda number 23-990 for the exact reason I mentioned
above. We need to appoint someone who has a proven track record of dedication to listening
to residents(not non-residents ,cattle calls,political allies and who have undermined the City
Council Majority THAT THE PEOPLE ELECTED. Pro Tem Gracey Van Der Mark,
Councilmen Pat Burns and Casey McKeon,you have knocked it out of the park this first year
and YOUR MANY SUPPORTERS would be grateful if anyone of you could follow in
Gracey's footsteps as Mayor Pro Tem. for the upcoming year. Well wishes to all of you and
thank you VERY MUCH!!!
Best regards,
Kris Carroll

Hello Honorable Mayor& Council Members,
12/5/23 Agenda Item 23-1034 & 23-990
Regarding: 23-1034-: I support the Huntington Beach City Council Set aside City Council
Resolution No. 6320 and establish different procedures: and with that action Promote
Mayor Pro Tem Gracey Van Der Mark to Mayor
Regarding 23-990: Promote Pat Burns or Casey McKeon to Mayor Pro Tem.
Ignore Kalmicks plea for himself to be promoted to Mayor he has in no way demonstrated
the ability to lead the city in this honorable position.
To Further: Kalmick, Moser, Bolton have demonstrated the unprofessional need to disrupt,
disrespect and lower all expectations of professional decorum to our Huntington Beach City
Council Chambers Meetings. They encourage their followers to do the same. The 3
Democratic Council People are the last people we would want with any real power over our
city charters/laws/governance. You will see that is the city consensus when it's time to vote
them out next year/2024.
Thank you for your time & consideration.
Warmest Regards,
Renette Mazza
