Submission recorded on : 6/11/2014 10:43:30 PM Survey answers Name: Michael Stoddard Address: City: Costa Mesa State: CA Zip Code: 92626 =ffiing 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.

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. t 7
