We are on the cusp of celebrating the 100th Anniversary of the passage of the 19th Amendment which gave women the
right to vote. In the spirit of that hard-earned right and our hard-fought democracy, I ask you all to let the people vote
on whether or not we citizens want to take a loan to build a desalination plant in Corpus Christi Bay. We have many
other items to vote on in November, including another bond, a proposed charter amendment and city council offices.
You're probably aware of a petition drive for a referendum that gives us such a choice about a desal loan and I know
you're aware of the pandemic. It shouldn't require a petition drive during a pandemic to let the people decide.This is an
affront to democracy! You have the ability to put the question on the ballot so please do so and let us vote.Thank you.

Ms. Huerta,
I want this to be considered my formal request for a call-back so I can contribute verbally for one minute during public
comment today.
I also want you to know I have submitted a screenshot of my completed form because when you download the form,fill
it out, save it, and re-open it, it appears blank.
I tried multiple methods and was unable to keep the data captured on the form.
I know I am not the first to bring this issue to your attention. Given that this is happening to anyone using the form, I
think there needs to be immediate action to remedy this situation.
I will also write out my information here to ensure I receive a call back.

I am writing to show my disappointment in the city council and mayor's attempt to borrow$222.5 million dollars in
order to build a desalination plant in the midst of a pandemic,without public input.You've failed us during this
pandemic by not taking it serious in the beginning and now 1 in 8 of our residents have tested positive. "No one under
the age of 10" has to wear a mask??? Really?The 85 babies UNDER 1 that tested positive say otherwise.ANYWAY, a
desalination plant will make our already, not very nice water,even less nice. Not to mention harm all marine life. (Ugly
water=no tourists)We demand to have a voice in this decision that WILL harm us rather than benefit us.Y'all were voted
in to REPRESENT us not ignore us. Let's recover from the major hit were taking from COVID before we decide to take out
any loans.Common f***ing sense. Represent us or find new jobs.
