PUBLIC ORAL COMMUNICATIONS (cont.)
Vice Mayor Sotelo-Solis commented on an article that appeared in the Union
Tribune newspaper regarding the Sweetwater Authority. She stated that she is
not seeking appointment to the Sweetwater Authority Board but has not received
updates from our current Authority representative even after requests were
made. Vice Mayor Sotelo-Solis said she believes she is doing the will and work
of the people by asking about the representation that we currently have and
seeking ways to improve that representation. She feels she is not on the City
Council to be a `yes person' and believes that she was elected to be a voice of
the people, to work hard and to ask the tough questions, which she intends to
continue doing. If she is seen as a person who is rocking the boat, then so be it.

had meetings seven consecutive weeks in a row with her colleagues on the
Council. During that time the Council has been in agreement 99% of the time
and accomplished some really wonderful things which is what she wished people
would focus on. Member Rios expressed surprise about the kinds of things
people try to stir up over the one or two things the Council doesn't agree on. She
said it is not a situation where the Council is trying to beat each other down; it is
a situation where they are definitely trying to make things right and to work with
questions they feel the community has. Member Rios disclosed that over the
past month she has attended all Neighborhood Councils to introduce herself.
Council Member Zarate thanked the staff for the CDBG process saying it was the
best she has experienced; said, in her view, National City has a working Council
and she doesn't want to see any dissention because the City have accomplished
a lot of things and been more progressive than other cities and she believes it is
important to focus on those good things. Member Zarate thinks it is important to
see what can be done about the issue of newspapers being thrown all over the
streets.

MAYOR AND COUNCIL (cont.)
Mayor Morrison reported on the success of the Financial Literacy Program event
sponsored by the Mexican Counsel and Counsel General; said he is willing to
meet with Council Members anytime on any issue but will not apologize in the
least for the representation we have had on the Sweetwater Authority Board.
The Mayor said he has reported back to the Council and will continue to do so
whenever there are City issues before the Sweetwater Authority and that he is
also sending out to the Council agendas and minutes when they come to him
from other boards he serves on. According to the Mayor, no one has a monopoly
on being indignant or not liking what is going on. When things are going well it is
easy for everyone to do their job, but when things are difficult people start
focusing on non -issues rather than what is important. Mayor Morrison agreed
that the Council needs to be focused on the challenges that lie ahead and should
remember that the people of National City come first.
BLOCK GRANT PROGRAM ADMIN 2011-2012 (406-1-26)
