Mayor Moore Vice-Mayor Chao, Councilmembers Fruen, Mohan and Wang, Unfortunately, nothing has changed. Despite our repeated requests, including those made within the past month, no city manager or other senior official has contacted us. Meanwhile, the ongoing persecution and prosecution continue without interruption. The fundamental constitutional right to freedom of speech appears increasingly questionable, especially as these actions continue in plain sight and without meaningful response from those in positions of authority. This situation reflects a broader concern about a society that too often avoids accountability and difficult truths, while institutions that are meant to protect rights and ensure justice appear to be used as instruments to reinforce these practices rather than correct them. -- from residence property, and personal belongings were taken without notice years ago, and we continue to face ongoing prosecution and harassment. This situation raises serious concerns regarding due process, property rights, and equal protection under the law.

I’ve raised this issue several times over the past few years, and we would appreciate an update. >>>>>> On Monday, October 20, 2025 at 12:02:03 PM PDT, j w <jzw97@yahoo.com> wrote: We would like to express our concerns about the ongoing lack of direct communication between residents and the City, including the City Council, in recent years. Before the COVID-19 pandemic, it was common to see the Mayor and City Manager walking around in front of City Hall, engaging openly with residents. The City Manager also maintained open office hours almost daily, and City Hall was accessible — doors were not locked, and transparency was part of the everyday culture. While we understand that the pandemic required changes, those restrictions have long since ended. Yet, the level of public access and face-to-face communication has not returned to pre-COVID standards. We've even seen news reports raising concerns about public employees holding multiple remote jobs simultaneously, which further undermines public trust. Most concerning is the fact that some long-term residents have not had an opportunity to meet with city leadership in person for years. This disconnect does not reflect the values or mission of the City to serve its community with transparency, accountability, and accessibility. We respectfully ask that this issue be treated as high priority — and that steps be taken to restore regular, in-person engagement between the City’s leadership and its residents. Thank you for your attention. Sincerely, Jenny Huang family CC 06-02-2026 #15 SummerHill Homes - 10268 Bandley Drive Written Communications
