Ms. Clapper invited the Mayor and Council to participate with her in the clean-up project along with Mr. Paco Barajas and other volunteers. Kevin LaChapelle, PO Box 71744, Santee, representing the Center for Integrity & Ethics, asked the City Council to explore possible legal sanctions against Vice Mayor Soto for the conduct of his private legal practice and for bringing disgrace upon his position as a City Council member. Nenita Rosales, 1317 'D' Avenue, submitted a petition to Mayor Waters. Mayor Waters announced, for the record, that the petition had approximately 30 signatures and then read the top part of the petition: "We, the undersigned residents of National City, request that Fred Soto resign his position as a member of City Council. We find that he is an embarrassment to our city and his actions are not commensurable to those of a City Councilmember." Mayor Waters then handed the petition to the City Clerk.
