Council and Mayor.
Too bad you still haven't restarted having Zoom call for those of us who cannot make it to this
meeting. You need to do so to listen to the rest of us to voice our concerns and opinions about our
city and your governing.
Charles Montoya's contract should be terminated with cause and with extreme prejudice, due to
his handling of Ms. Whitehorn's termination due to her exposing his coverup of the lack of funding,
as well as his signing a Letter of Intent with his friends at Stifel. There was no reason to hire him in
the first place. Councilmembers Sanchez, Ibarra, Figueroa, Shorett and Mayor Tran need to vote
to remove him, rectifying their colossal error in this hire.
Ms. Soren should also be let go, as a willing participant in the coverup and firing.
Please bring back Mr. McNeely, if he is so inclined.
Ms. Russell should get a letter of reprimand for not intervening in Ms. Whitehorn's dismissal.
Mr. Jeff Kraus and whomever wrote the official response to Ms. Whitehorn's dismissal should also
get a letter of reprimand for stating that there was a lack of time to discuss the City Hall renovation
item last meeting, since Mr. Montoya stated he needed to pull it to talk to the vendors.
Lastly, there should be a complete financial audit to verify the charges Mr. Kraus posed in the
official response that Ms. Whitehorn was involved in "financial issues that were unrelated to the
City Hall projectâ.
Thank you for MY time.
