<br /> Dear Ms. Hall, Ms. Carvalho, and Mr. Nunez,
<br /> I am writing to formally rectify a disruption in the public record that occurred during the City
<br /> Council meeting on the evening of February 3, 2026.
<br /> During my public testimony (approximately 3:38:12 in the record), I was prepared to formally
<br /> submit my updated written complaint and the supporting forensic analysis regarding the misuse
<br /> of Ward 3 discretionary funds. However, due to the improper and unprovoked interjection by
<br /> Councilmember Jessie Lopez, who attempted to interrupt my remarks with a "clarification" in
<br /> violation of the City's own rules of order, the procedural flow of my presentation was disrupted.
<br /> As a result, the physical submission of my February 3rd formal letter was not completed at the
<br /> dais.
<br /> Formal Submission for the Record Attached to this email, please find the following
<br /> documents which are to be immediately incorporated into the official record of the February 3,
<br /> 2026, meeting as part of my public testimony:
<br /> • Updated Formal Complaint (Feb 3, 2026): Detailing the $3,000 expenditure of Santa
<br /> Ana funds for an Anaheim event and the demand for personal reimbursement.
<br /> • The Helvig Report (Jan 14, 2026): The forensic audit confirming Councilmember Lopez
<br /> as an outlier in out-of-city spending.
<br /> Public Review and Feb 18th Agenda Request
