The community group Repair Costa Mesa has put out another video which as been airng on cable in the Costa Mesa. Titled Better Choice, this video questions why the is spending so much on management new hires, no-bid contracts, and perks while issuing layoff notices to 213 city workers.
More than 50 people addressed the Costa Mesa City Council on Tuesday night and it wasn’t pretty. People were angry. They were angry about the poorly researched outsourcing juggernaut that the council majority was imposing on the city work force. They were embarrassed that their Mayor had shown such a disregard for his duty as Mayor to continue to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day after city worker Huy Pham took his life at City Hall as layoff notices were delivered to 213 employees.
While Costa Mesa CEO Tom Hatch is projecting a budget shortfall for next year of $5 million, Appointed Councilman Steve Mensigner is projecting that “the city is facing a $15 million deficit,” if the majority’s proposals are enacted.
“It’s time for Mayor Monahan start listening to the residents who elected him and immediately rescind the layoff notices at the next City Council meeting,” resident Greg Ridge said.
