Public Comment Item 7. 25-257
I'm writing to publicly report an illegal squirrel
feeding dish & mini-table at 7871 Warner Ave.
(Woody's Diner) for years; & to request that
this & all commercial food establishments be
prohibited from feeding squirrels effective
immediately. I want commercial food to serve
clean food, & to not be feeding squirrels as
well; that being said I have good things to say
about this resident favorite.
I also want to thank 7777 Edinger Ave. for the
quality C that folks have experienced; such as
restaurants, coffee, books, movies & coats.
What a fun place.
Squirrel feeding is completely illegal & is a big
problem in the city, it has resulted in the
squirrels becoming predatorial to human
activity, health risk & significant financial loss
to me & all affected facilities. Similar to the
Mynocks of Ord Mynock, imagine if the
squirrels. were to. chew on the cables & lumber
of the utility systems? This is known to be a
problem.
AI In Huntington Beach, CA, and generally
in California, feeding wildlife, including
squirrels, is illegal under California Code of
Regulations, title 14, section 251 . 1, which
defines harassment as disrupting an animal's
normal behavior patterns, and feeding falls
under that.
Feeding wildlife is illegal in California.
Section 251 . 1 of the 'California Fish and Game
Code states that feeding a wild animal can be
considered animal harassment. People can be
fined up to $ 1 ,000 for feeding a squirrel in
California.
I am also writing to publicly request that the
county health inspector be called out to inspect
the 6561 Edinger Ave. (Mcdonald's) building
& from now on be equipped to test for E. coli
bacteria at all commercial food places in the
same timeliness. I question if there was an
underreported, documented E. coli outbreak at
this store location during the winter months &
that the food supply, food health, building
cleanliness & conduct is not being enforced
here according to procedure by.the total
management, & would like to know if there
were similar occurrences at this location? This
was reported to the headquarters but I doubt
anything was done. This caused me significant
health & financial loss. I refuse to return to this
store location until the food health is
investigated & changed, & confidence of food
health is restored in the city; there are many
occurrences due to various reasons.
These are a few issues folks might not realize
how important they are. Both need to stop
now. I would also like to suggest an insect,
nocturnal & amphibian house; & observatory
for the city. These are truly amazing ideas for
the city so I'm simply putting forth these ideas.

Public Comment, Item 9. 25-065.
I'm writing to request that the displacement
of violent squirrels into Northwest
Huntington Beach stop, and that they be
much more effectively trapped by animal
control. These squirrels are repetitious-ly
destroying every inch of the backyards and
potted plants here, and I believe there will
be biting and rabies soon. This is a very
serious problem among residents and
associations that is not solved. Please, this
needs to stop.
This is a very serious problem here that is
preventing residents from living their lives,
a normal request that the city council
should be able to solve. I do believe that the
squirrels were displaced by development,
regardless, a solution needs to be found.
This is the city council's responsibility, not
others.
