RE:Use of Publicly Financed Slide Projector Purchased for Use by Public&Corporate Entities
For the Exercise of Free Speech During Council Presentations During Oral Communications
&Agenda Items.
Myself,and Mr. Clewley, a paid consultant with an agenda presentation,requested in writing in a
timely manner the use of the publicly fmanced slide projector for use during Oral Communication
and during a agenda item.
I checked back with the city clerk on Friday 11/5 and was told to inquire Monday,November 8,
1999 as to the use of the slide projector. Today,November 8, 1999,the city clerk informed me
"The Public" would not be allowed to use the publicly funded slide projector. Also,Mr. Clewley
could not use the projector as the Hellman&Bixby consultants have in the past practice been
allowed during presentations---because he did not have the slides"reviewed" & "approved"by
staff in some sort of timely manner not delineated as to procedure applying to all consultants "on
the agenda".
• Slide Projectors were purchase with taxpayers funds to facilitate Free Speech by the Public
• The City Manager has no authority to deny standard use by the Public for presentations
• City Staff has no authority to "screen" &"accept" only certain slides from a presentation
• No Procedure Manual exists to require Mr. Clewley to present his slides to staff before the
meeting
• Staff cannot create "rules"gat leisure,to deny Free Speech which the City Manager 4tnds
objectionable or revealing; such as,pictures of debrisdn his side yard.
• The requests to use the projector were timely&cannot be denied under Free Speech •
It is particularly abhorrent to find that Mr.Till has again abused the Peoples'power to prevent
Free Speech by targeting Mr. Clewley for non-existent code violations last week and not
allowing the use of the projector that all parties have used during meetings in the past. The City
of Seal Beach cannot have "special rules for special people".
Hopefully,the council will review this mistake and come to the legal requirement allowing the
Public and Consultants on the agenda to use the Slide Projector purchased with public funds for
Public use.
