HomeMy WebLinkAbout09.0- Public Comment Entered Into Rec. at MCC/CDC Mfg: '� 2 by: /,,,, Agenda Rem No: Demographics, Demographics, Demographics. CltyClerWCDC 6retar City of n Bernardino I will continue to say that until each and every one o�you understand that each and every decision that you make, going forward, must be at least partially dictated by changing the demographics for the betterment of the City, going forward. We cannot have any more low income citizens for the foreseeable future. We already have 50% of the citizens here, on some form of public assistance, and cannot allow any more. So please act and vote accordingly. I am amazed that you continue to only meet twice a month. What gives here? You all know that you should be meeting, at a minimum, at least weekly, until you have the City headed in the proper direction. So let's quit the stalling and start meeting weekly. Stop the foot dragging on decisions, such as, the partnering out of the refuse department. Continued delays will not accomplish anything and I believe that at least some of you do not appreciate the fact that the City is only days away from being taken over by the County. Waiting for any reason, on a decision on refuse, is NOT an option. Continue to wait and watch the City face disappearing. It's just that simple and I am continually amazed that some of you don't get it or see it. You must move forward swiftly, efficiently and effectively. If any of you are unwilling or unable to do so, please step aside and let someone else, who can make the hard decisions, take over for you. We can no longer take the bickering, back biting and total lack of statesmanship from this Mayor and Council. Get on board or get out of the way. Finally, one more idea and it will cost you nothing. Several of us have made a poster that addresses the continual panhandling problem that is so ever present herein the City. I am requesting that you take this poster, scan it onto the City and the Police Departments web sites. This 8 x 11 inch poster could be printed out by any and every business in the City and posted right by their front door. READ THE POSTER Again, this is at no cost to the City. It may help at little, it may help a lot, but in either case we are doing something positive. Time is marching on and doing so at warp speed. In-action is a luxury that none of you or the citizens of San Bernardino can afford. The bottom line here is you all need to re-evaluate your priorities. You need to be concerned about all of the citizens of the City and the survival of the City itself. Your re-election and/or other political aspirations are inconsequential and must take a back seat to what you are doing here. Show us that you can perform the way you said you would before you were elected. Be the person you said you were. Be the leaders that we all want and need so desperately. Be real, honest and forthright. Is that too much to ask? a W 4 Panhandling is a Please don 't encourage this by participating . Paid for by CITIZENS AGAINST PANHANDLING
