WE WILL NOW HEAR, UH, PUBLIC COMMENTS ON ITEMS THAT ARE SPECIFIC TO THIS AGENDA.UH, DO WE HAVE ANY REQUEST TO SPEAK ON THIS? ON THIS ITEM? YES.
UH, MCKAYLA POLANCO, FOLLOWED BY LUISA MCCARTHY, FOLLOWED BY SANDY SCHELLER.
I'M HERE TODAY BECAUSE I, UH, AM NOT 100% SURE, BUT IN THE EVENT THAT ITEM 5.1 IS IN REGARDS TO THE LITIGATION OF JOSEPH FLORES CLARK.
I'M VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND WE'VE BEEN FOLLOWING IT VERY CLOSELY BECAUSE WE WANT TO PUT YOU ON NOTICE THAT IF YOU GIVE ANY TAXPAYERS MONEY TO THE MAYOR'S ASSISTANT, THAT WILL BE CONSIDERED A GIFT OF PUBLIC FUNDS.
AND YOU ALL KNOW THAT, UH, MARCUS, UH, LU MOLINA, YOU BOTH HAVE, UH, SHOULD BE RECUSED FROM ANY OF THESE VOTING.
YOU ESPECIALLY, UH, LOOSE BECAUSE YOU HELPED HER ATTORNEY WITH THE CLAIM.
AND YOU, MARCUS, YOU ARE THE ONE THAT DISCLOSED THE SLAPPING THE BUTT IN A, IN A, UH, CLOSED SESSION.
AND YOU ALSO STATED THAT IN AN OPEN, UH, MEETING, UH, IN WHICH IT CONCLUDED THAT YOU WERE THE ONE THAT DISCLOSED THAT, AND THE ONE THAT YOU'RE RECUSING IS JOSE AND THE MAYOR.
WHY WHEN THE ONES THAT SHOULD BE RECUSED SHOULD BE YOU AND, UH, MS. MOLINA, UH, WE SENT A LETTER ON SEPTEMBER 3RD, 2026 IN REGARDS TO THIS ISSUE.
AND IN THAT CLAIM, THERE IS NO CLAIM, THERE IS NO LIABILITY THAT THE CITY HAS IN REGARDS TO ITEM 5.1 IF IT IS JOSIE'S.
WHY? BECAUSE SHE DOES NOT HAVE A VIABLE CLAIM AGAINST THE CITY OF NATIONAL CITY RELATED TO ANY OF HER DISPUTES.
THERE'S THREE DISPUTES THAT ARE UNFOUNDED.
SO IN CALIFORNIA, THE TAXPAYERS HAVE STANDING TO BRING A CIVIL ACTION TO CHALLENGE ANY, UH, UNCONSTITUTIONAL GIFT OF PUBLIC FUNDS AND THE WASTE OF PUBLIC MONEY AND WE WILL PURSUE THAT.
SO JUST KNOW THAT YOU'VE BEEN PUT ON NOTICE THAT IF DOES, IF THIS DOES HAPPEN, IT IS ILLEGAL.
LOUISA MCCARTHY, FOLLOWED BY SANDY SCHELLER, FOLLOWED BY ALICIA MORRISON.
AGAIN, WE SUSPECT THE MAYOR IS TRYING TO GIVE TAXPAYER MONEY TO THE MAYOR'S ASSISTANT BASED ON A BOGUS CLAIM BROUGHT BY RON'S OWN LAWYER.
LOU MOLINA FED INFORMATION BOTH BY TEXT AND EMAIL TO HELP HIM BUILD A CASE AGAINST THE CITY.
WHEN PLACED ON THE FRAMEWORK OF LAW AND FACTS, JOSIE FORREST CLARK'S CLAIMS ARE WITHOUT MERIT BASED ON HER OWN ADMISSION.
THE ALLEGED CLAIMS INVOLVE THREE SEPARATE DISPUTES, A COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE DEVELOPMENT AND NATIONAL CITY PLANNING COMMISSION DENIED.
TWO, THE BURIAL ARRANGEMENTS FOR HER SON, WHICH LATER DISCOVERED IT WAS HER NEPHEW.
TOUCHING THE BUTTOCKS OF A NATIONAL CITY RECREATION DEPARTMENT EMPLOYEE WITHOUT CONSENT AND COMMENTING THE EMPLOYEE HAD A JLO BODY FIGURE.
WE WANNA PUT YOU ON NOTICE THAT IF YOU GIVE ANY TAXPAYERS MONEY TO THE MAYOR'S ASSISTANT, THAT WOULD BE A GIFT OF PUBLIC FUNDS.
[00:05:01]
THE CITY ATTORNEY TO ISSUE A WRITTEN OPINION ANALYSIS, ANALYZING JOSIE FLORES CLARK'S CLAIM AND RESPOND TO OUR ATTORNEY'S LETTER PROVIDED TO YOU ON SEPTEMBER 3RD, 2026 REGARDING THE GIFT OF PUBLIC RECORDS, WHICH YOU ALL HAVE A COPY.NOW I FIND IT VERY HYPOCRITICAL OF YOU, MARCUS, TO LUNGE OUT OF YOUR SEAT AND ACCUSE JOSE OF LEAKING INFORMATION RELATED TO JOSIE'S BUTT SLAP INCIDENT WHEN IT WAS A CLOSE FRIEND OF YOURS AND HER HUSBAND THAT WE HOSTED FOR DINNER THAT SHARED WHAT YOU TOLD HER ABOUT JOSIE SLAPPING A CITY EMPLOYEE ON THE BUTTOCKS.
THOSE SAME WORDS, CITY ATTORNEY, I HAVE NO PROBLEM OF YOU PLACING ME UNDER OATH.
I CAN REPEAT THE SAME THING, BUT YOU ALSO PUT UNDER OATH MIKA AND THE TWO OTHER INDIVIDUALS WERE THAT WERE AT THAT DINNER TO DISCLOSE HIS INDISCRETION OF TALKING ABOUT THE CASE.
IT WASN'T JOSE, IT WAS YOU THEN.
SANDY SCHULER, FOLLOWED BY ALICIA MORRISON, FOLLOWED BY DOYLE MORRISON.
RON, RUN, RUN, WHAT HAVE YOU DONE? IT'S TIME TO GO.
IT'S SUCH A PITY YOU BROKE THIS CITY, LEAVING BEHIND A MESS.
A CITY CANNOT AFFORD THE COST OF LEADERSHIP THAT LEAVES US LOST WHEN FINANCIAL DUTIES GO UNPAID.
WHAT KIND OF EXAMPLE HAVE YOU MADE? CAN'T PAY YOUR PARKING DEBT.
THEY SAY CAN'T REGISTER YOUR CAR ALONG THE WAY.
SO TELL ME, MARCUS, IS THIS YOUR PLAN TO BREAK THE RULES? JUST BECAUSE YOU CAN.
SHOULD RESIDENTS FOLLOW YOUR LEAD, IGNORE THEIR BILLS AND DODGE THEIR FEES? WHAT A SHAME, WHAT A DISGRACE IS THIS THE STANDARD FOR RUNNING THIS PLACE? AND NOW FROM THE CORONER COMES JOSIE IN HAND TRYING TO MAKE SENSE OF CLAIMS. UNPLANNED SEARCHING FOR ANSWERS, POINTING THE BLAME, BUT ACCOUNTABILITY IS PART OF THIS GAME.
THEY'VE HAD THE FILL OF THE POLITICAL STUFF.
LET'S PUT AN END TO THIS CIRCUS THAT WE'RE IN.
NO MORE EXCUSES AND NO MORE BLAME.
THIS CITY'S FUTURE DESERVES BETTER THAN SHAME.
IT'S TIME TO MOVE FORWARD, RESTORE THE PRIDE AND LEAVE THIS NONSENSE VERY BEHIND.
ALICIA MORRISON, FOLLOWED BY DOLE MORRISON.
IF ITEM FIVE ONE IS GOING TO BE A DISCUSSION OF CLARK VERSUS CITY OF NATIONAL CITY ETAL.
THE MAYOR MORRISON AND VICE MAYOR LUZ MOLINA MUST RECUSE THEMSELVES FROM ALL DISCUSSION OF CLARK VERSUS THE CITY OF NATIONAL CITY ETAL.
ON AUGUST 27TH, 2026, I SUBMITTED A PUBLIC COMMENT WITH EXHIBITS PERTAINING TO JOSIE CLARK'S CLAIM, FALSELY STATED IN FOOTNOTES 69 AND 70.
I PROVIDED YOU WITH FACTS AND DOCUMENTATION THAT ERODES JOSIE CLARK'S CLAIM AS IT PERTAINS TO ME, ALICIA MORRISON.
THOSE CLAIMS ABOUT ME WERE INACCURATE AND UNSUPPORTED.
CIVIL CODE DIVISION, US DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE UNDER THE FALSE CLAIMS ACT 31 UNITED STATES CODE SECTIONS 37 29 TO 30 37 33 PROVIDES THAT ANY PERSON WHO KNOWINGLY SUBMITS OR CAUSES TO SUBMIT FALSE CLAIMS TO GOVERNMENT IS LIABLE FOR THREE TIMES THE GOVERNMENT'S DAMAGES PLUS PENALTIES LIABILITY CAN ARISE IN OTHER SITUATIONS SUCH AS WHEN SOMEONE KNOWINGLY USES A FALSE RECORD MATERIAL TO FALSIFY CLAIMS OR IMPROPERLY AVOIDS AN OBLIGATION TO PAY GOVERNMENT CONSPIRES CONSPIRING TO COMMIT ANY OF THESE ACTS ALSO IS A VIOLATION OF THE FALSE CLAIM ACT.
IN ADDITION, THE FALSE CLAIM ACT ALLOWS PRIVATE CITIZENS TO FILE SUITS ON BEHALF OF THE GOVERNMENT CALLED Q TAM AGAINST THOSE WHO HAVE DEFRAUDED THE GOVERNMENT.
DO NOT LET MY COMMENT FALL ON DEAF EARS.
UM, EIGHT, UH, GOVERNMENT CODE 8 2 0 4 8 A ONE.
PUBLIC OFFICIALS MEANS EVERY MEMBER, OFFICER, EMPLOYEE OR CONSULT OF A STATE OR LOCAL GOVERNMENT AGENCY
[00:10:01]
UNDER CALIFORNIA GOVERNMENT CODE TITLE IX POLITICIAN REFORM ARTICLE ONE, GENERAL PROHIBITION SECTION 87 100.A PUBLIC OF OFFICIAL AT ANY LEVEL OF STATE OR LOCAL GOVERNMENT SHALL NOT MAKE PARTICIPATE IN MAKING OR IN ANY WAY ATTEMPT TO USE A PUBLIC OF OFFICIAL'S POSITION TO INFLUENCE A GOVERNMENTAL DECISION IN WHICH THE OFFICIAL KNOWS OR HAS REASON TO KNOW THE OFFICIAL HAS A FINANCIAL INTEREST.
IF ITEM 5.1 IS GOING TO BE A DISCUSSION OF THE CLERK FOR CITY OF NATIONAL CITY AT ALL, THEN MAYOR MORRISON AND VICE MAYOR MOLINA SHOULD RECUSE THEMSELVES FROM THIS DISCUSSION OF CLARK VERSUS THE CITY OF NATIONAL CITY.
ALSO, IF THIS IS WHAT YOU GUYS ARE DISCUSSING OR ANY OTHER THING YOU'RE DISCUSSING, WHEN YOU GUYS GO IN THE BACK ROOM, YOU SHOULD HAVE A DISCUSSION AND NOT A SHOUTING MATCH LIKE WE SAW THE OTHER TIME WHERE WE HEARD RON MORRISON VOICE OUT IN THE HALLWAY AND LOOSE MOLINA'S VOICE OUT IN THE HALLWAY.
UM, IT KIND OF MAKES US LOSE PUBLIC, THE PUBLIC LOSE TRUST IN THE PROCESS THAT'S GOING ON BEHIND CLOSED, CLOSED DOORS.
AND WITH THAT SAID, I THINK THAT THE CITY MANAGER SHOULD RESEARCH AND IF, IF HE HASN'T ALREADY, BUT IT REALLY NEEDS TO BE BROUGHT, THAT THE PERSON THAT FILED THE HARASSMENT CLAIM THAT INVESTIGATION RESULTS BE BROUGHT BACK UP SO THAT IT CAN BE REVIEWED AND FIND OUT LIKE WHAT MY WIFE JUST SAID ABOUT FALSE FALSE CLAIMS. 'CAUSE I BELIEVE THERE'S FALSE CLAIMS IN THERE.
AND THAT'S ALL THAT 74 PAGES SITTING ON THE VOICE OF SAN DIEGO'S WEBSITE.
SO ANYONE CAN GO OUT THERE AND, AND LOOK AT IT AND READ THROUGH THE WHOLE THING.
AND UH, WITH THAT PLEASE DO THE RIGHT THING, BRING THAT STUFF FORWARD AND MAYBE, UH, MAYBE THE UH, NUMBER OF CASES UH, THANK YOU FOR YOUR COMMENT HAVE GONE UP FROM ONE IT SOUNDS LIKE FROM WHAT I HEARD MAYOR, THAT CONCLUDES PUBLIC COMMENT.
[5. CLOSED SESSION]
WE WILL BE GOING INTO CLOSED SESSION.WE HAVE ONE ITEM TO CLOSED SESSION.
WE WILL NOW CONVENE THE MEETING INTO CLOSED SESSION AND THERE WILL BE A VIRTUAL PAUSE THE MEETING AND THEN WE WILL RECONVENE FOLLOWING THAT SESSION.
AND THERE IF THERE'S ANY REPORTABLE, UH, A ITEMS AT THAT TIME AND WE REPORT IT OUT, WE NOW TURN IT OVER TO OUR CITY ATTORNEY AND MAYOR, I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A COMMENT WHEN IT'S APPROPRIATE.
UM, THE ITEM THAT WE'RE GONNA BE HEARING TONIGHT, ITEM 5.1, SIGNIFICANT EXPOSURE TO LITIGATION AS BEING HEARD PURSUANT TO PARAGRAPH TWO SUBDIVISION D OF GOVERNMENT CODE SECTION 5 4 9 5 4 9 5 6 0.9.
UM, AND THERE'S ONE CASE BEING DISCUSSED.
I JUST WANNA RESPOND TO THE COMMENT MADE BY LUISA MCCARTHY.
IT IS NOT TRUE THAT I DISCUSSED ANY CONFIDENTIAL CLOSED SESSION MATERIAL TO YOU.
YOU KNOW THIS, THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME YOU'VE MADE THAT CLAIM, LUISA.
IT'S NOT TRUE AND IT'S NOT, UH, THE ONLY STATEMENT THAT YOU'VE MADE UP HERE THAT'S BEEN UNTRUE.
YOU'VE MADE SEVERAL UNTRUE STATEMENTS EVEN HERE TONIGHT AND THAT SHOULD BE EXPOSED.
WE SHOULD HAVE A RIGHT TO EXPOSE THAT AND SAY THAT PUBLICLY.
'CAUSE WE'RE NOT GONNA HAVE OUR REPUTATION CONTINUE TO BE HEARD BY LIES.
AND UM, I WATCHED YOU LIE UNDER OATH AT PAUL W'S HEARING, SO I'VE SEEN YOU DO THAT AND IT'S NOT TRUE.
OKAY, WE'RE GOING INTO CLOSED SESSION.
ALRIGHT, WE ARE COMING OUT OF CLOSED SESSION AND I'LL TURN IT OVER TO OUR CITY ATTORNEY TO MAKE ANY REPORT OUT.
ALRIGHT, I'M GOING TO TURN THE MIC ON ALTHOUGH NOBODY'S HERE.
UM, THIS EVENING, UH, THE COUNCIL MET IN CLOSED SESSION FROM SIX 20, UM, AT 7:31 PM THE MAYOR AND COUNCIL MEMBER RODRIGUEZ LEFT THE MEETING.
UM, THE MAYOR DID NOT COME BACK UNTIL 8:33 PM UM, COUNCIL MEMBER RODRIGUEZ DID NOT COME BACK.
