PUBLIC COMMENTS

Robert Johnson

Dear Residents of CHULA VISTA, I wanted to take a moment to discuss the topic of homelessness and how it can affect our local communities. It is important to understand that helping homeless individuals can greatly benefit our community as a whole. Here are a few reasons why: 1. Improved Public Health - By providing housing and support services for homeless individuals, we can improve public health through decreased exposure to infectious diseases and a reduction in substance abuse. 2. Reduced Crime Rates - Studies have shown that when homeless individuals are provided with stable housing and support services, there is a decrease in criminal activity in the surrounding areas. 3. Increased Economic Opportunities - By providing job training and employment opportunities, we can help homeless individuals become self-sufficient and contribute to the local economy. 4. Increased Community Engagement - When we help homeless individuals, we are also building stronger communities. By working together to help those in need, we become more connected to one another and foster a sense of unity. Overall, helping the homeless is not just a matter of kindness and compassion, but it also benefits everyone in the community. Let us work together to find ways to support this vulnerable population and make San Diego County a better place for all. Sincerely, ROBERT JOHNSON

Robert Johnson

Dear Residents of CHULA VISTA, I wanted to add to my previous notice regarding homelessness and its impact on our community. It is especially important to recognize the homeless veterans in our community and the value of providing support for them. San Diego County is home to a significant number of veterans. Unfortunately, many of these brave individuals end up experiencing homelessness after they return home from serving our country. By providing housing and support services specifically tailored to the unique needs of veterans, we can help them get back on their feet and reintegrate into society. Furthermore, providing care for homeless veterans not only honours their sacrifice but also benefits the community as a whole. This is because when we help veterans, we reduce their risk of homelessness, which can lead to other issues such as substance abuse and mental health problems. As we celebrate important dates such as Memorial Day and Veterans Day, let us remember the sacrifices that our veterans have made for our country and for us. Let us also work together to show our support by providing assistance to those who have fallen on hard times. Sincerely, Robert johnson

Robert Johnson

Dear Chula Vista City Council, I am writing to raise my concern about the current state of political prisoners in our nation. Promoting the well-being and safety of our citizens, I feel compelled to bring this issue to your attention. It's no secret that many individuals have been imprisoned due to their political beliefs, regardless of the legitimacy of their claims. This comes at a time when our nation is increasingly at risk of being weaponized by its own government, and such actions could harm our country in the long term. As a responsible and caring citizen, I urge you to take action and speak out about this issue, which affects not only the lives of people but also the future of our nation. A Weaponized government used on its citizens could lead to an even more dangerous and unstable situation, and it's crucial that we stand up for what is right to protect our democracy. Thank you for your time. Sincerely, ROBERT JOHNSON

Robert Johnson

As concerned citizens, it is our duty to demand transparency and accountability from our elected officials. I urge you to closely monitor these developments and to take action to ensure that the truth about 9/11 is finally brought to light. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Sincerely, ROBERT JOHNSON

Robert Johnson

Dear Chula Vista City Council Members, I am writing to inform you about a recent development in the United States government that has the potential to shed light on the events surrounding the tragic events of September 11th, 2001. As you may already be aware, on July 20, 2021, President Joe Biden signed Executive Order 14040, which ordered the declassification of certain documents related to the events of 9/11. This order was issued in response to pressure from families of the victims of 9/11, who have been pushing for the release of classified information for nearly two decades. This declassification has already led to the release of previously classified documents related to Saudi Arabia's involvement in the attacks, and it is likely that more information will be made public in the coming months. What is even more concerning is the possibility that this new information could reveal the involvement of our own government in the events of 9/11. In recent years, there has been mounting evidence suggesting that certain government officials may have had foreknowledge of the attacks and may have even facilitated them. If this information is revealed to be true, it could drastically alter our understanding of the events of 9/11 and shake our faith in our government and institutions.

Brandon Claypool, Chula Vista resident, spoke in support of homeless services and expressed gratitude to the City.

John Acosta, Chula Vista resident, spoke in opposition to using City facilities for political events.

Marianna Saponara, representing Senior Citizen Group Nacion Ave. Crusaders, expressed concern regarding speeding on Nacion Avenue.
