“But I think what we're hearing is that right now the person, the candidate, doesn't even need a sponsorship. If they want to go out there with signs and an easy up, they can without a sponsorship.”

“I guess we could probably control easy ups, though. Somebody could still campaign. But if every person brought an easy up, that wouldn't work either.”

“Yeah, so a couple of things. Getting back to the four per hundred feet, we have nine candidates running. Does that mean that the first four who run and get there, it's theirs? Can the same person put all four in their spot and not allow anybody else to do it?”

“So one thing I'd like to see in the future, not this election, obviously it's too late. We have a requirement that there must be approval from the landowner. And the Sakyoka Farms, that's the one that's right outside Costco, that big farm area, they make you get written permission. You have to submit it in writing, and it has to be approved in writing. i would like to see that the anybody who puts a sign up on private property gets signed permission from the right person because like in a shopping center for example there might be 30 stores 20 stores whatever it is And one of the shop owners…”

“You trump over their right? Well, we have rights on signs, and we have rights that tell shopping centers what they can and can't do, and this is one of them. If you want to allow political signs, you're welcome to, but you must fill out a form.”

“Yeah, but the tenant doesn't have the right to the street, to the 100 feet. That's shared amongst many. The tenant can put a sign up in their window if they want to. That's different. You get a business, put it up in the window.”

“and that's between at least reading you can't tell them where to put i disagree i think we can tell them what to do because we have a policy within the city and just like you know they can't put the flapper banners up of you know the guy who falls over and does all the crazy stuff we control that too we we don't allow that we don't allow banners so You can't talk because it's disrupting. Sorry. Anyway, I lost my train of thought.”

“Flappers, yeah. So I think the city can't – I don't know. I don't think this is to be decided tonight, but I think we should look into all these things when we bring this back.”

“one last comment I would say to all candidates running in the city of Fountain Valley is we have a sign ordinance and there's a spirit of the rule as well as the actual rule and I would encourage any candidate you have control of your own signs you know other people may put them up for you or you may hire a service or whatever but it's up to you as a candidate when you run your campaign to control what people do for you and to monitor it if there's a concern or a complaint and it's it's not according to the rules or the spirit of the rule then do excuse me then do the right thing because…”

“You know, Mr. Mayor, I'm going to give my AB 1234 report because we have the same two people who show up to every meeting. They don't live in the city. They're not part of OCPA. And I feel like it's important that I give the AB 1234. We're going to be just a minute. Comment now instead of when much later when maybe people aren't listening. So I attended three meetings this last month, official meetings with first on Wednesday, September 9th, the OCPA credit facility and CEA tariff briefing. On Thursday, September 10th, I attended the cost of service project briefing. The cost of service has…”

“Yeah, so for those who aren't aware, we're taking all the ambulance calls now as a city versus contracting that out. I assume the revenue associated with the additional revenue from the ambulance program will more than offset the costs.”

“Mr. Mayor, I move that we table this to the next meeting. I don't think we should appoint three and two later. Let's just table the whole thing to the next meeting, and we can appoint all at once.”

“So, Mr. Mayor, again, let's table this at the next meeting. And the way I feel about it, just real quick, is if there's a policy that says it must be Fountain Valley residents, then it must be Fountain Valley residents. If there's not a policy, so maybe the attorney for the city at the next meeting, you could let us know for sure. If not, then it's not. Okay.”
