“I object any discussion or action under the agenda description boards and committees, which usually apply to citizens boards and commissions and appointments. Agenda provided no staff report, no resolution attachment, list of affected offices, identification of current representatives, proposed replacements, effective dates or explanation that the mayor intends to remove and replace existing city council appointees. Had a staff report. been provided and backup material included, it would have included the following information that the public had a right to know. I noticed that the council…”

“So as I was saying, the only backup material is this memo written by the mayor to the council and was not available to the public. So the public didn't know exactly what was going to be discussed tonight. All you see is boards and commissions. That could mean anything to anybody. So that is not an appropriate posting for the... formal of the Brown Act. The agenda didn't provide any staff report resolution, list of offices, any replacement for city council appointees. There was no staff report or backup. There had been some backup that would include the fact that I was appointed by the city to…”

“I'm sorry, Mr. Mayor, is there a discussion prior to the vote? Yes. Thank you, and I'm gonna, I appreciate you continuing the meeting, sorry, the issue, and I'll hold back most of my comments. I just wanna make a couple corrections. The mayor stated that I was requested to resign, yet the memo to us says that I should be removed, and I think the difference between being resigned and being removed. Also, it says that I'm a subject of an investigation. I've never been named a suspect, a subject, a target of any investigation. They did search the house. We don't know what they were searching for…”
