No one has given a reason for the need for a charter. Therefore, my husband and I will be voting

Give us your thoughts on the charter:
Well since this Charter has been a topic, many citizens have asked what the 1st 10 or 15 action
items will be implemented. I haven't heard any answers to the same question that has been ask
many times. So please do tell me what those first steps will be.
Thank You for Your Time

You are doing a great job and choosing to help the city move forward in a positive manner. The
introduction of the charter to allow us more flexibility in guiding the projects and plans is a great idea
and I am fully supportive of this plan.

Give us your thoughts on the charter:
Making Costa Mesa a charter city is a good idea since local control is better than state or federal
government control. But only as long as there are safe guards in the charter to prevent abuse by local
officials.
Recommended safeguards:
1.
Limit the salaries of local officials to the prevailing salaries of officials in similar positions in other cities
of California. This will prevent the kind of abuse seen in the city of Bell.
`a
I
q
Property taxes cannot be increased by special taxes or by adding taxes that are called fees a la Jerry
Brown.
3.
No bid contracts would only be allowed under the following conditions:
a
The service or product provided is only available from the company providing it.
b.
There was an emergency.
4.
Contracts should not be awarded simply based on the lowest bid. The better quality of the service or
product must be part of the written justification for using a company with a higher bid.
5.
The chart city pdf must be capable of being text searched. The Measure V - Proposed Charter.pdf
online could not be text searched. This pdf must be just one big image document, not a good idea.
Thank You for asking for feed back on this issue.

Give us your thoughts on the charter:
It appears that the council does not respect the voters. We rejected your charter in 2012. We do
not trust politicians. It is an insult to our intelligence that you trying again only two years Later. I will
vote against it. I will also vote against the reelection of council members who vote for putting the
proposal on the ballot

Give us your thoughts on the charter:
I already voted against becoming a Charter in the last General Election.) am also against the current
plan to become a Charter against the wishes of the citizens of Costa Mesa. The current City Council
has cost the taxpayers millions of dollars in unnecessary legal bills. The Charter will result in more
and more wasted taxpayer funds used to fight unnecessary lawsuits.
