Good morning council,
I would like to share my support for the Citywide Single Vote recommendation presented by staff as part
of agenda item 7.a.
I want to thank staff for the intentional and meticulous outreach effort done to gather voices of
unrepresented communities and the focus on addressing root causes. Rarely do I see a city or county
agency doing this extensive and long term type of outreach to gather community feedback. I commend
the process and level of responsibility taken by city staff and hope the council agrees with the
recommendation presented.
I look forward to following the implementation. I believe that continuing an intentional outreach effort to
latino and hispanic communities as a citywide single vote process is implemented will help us
increase civic engagement and overall transparency between the community and the city government.
SIncerely,
--
