Subject: Letter for closed session and public comments
Hi Ladies,
I am out on sick leave and respectfully request that the following be read into record for public comment in both
the closed session and general council meeting today 5/28/13.
I am Michelle Castagnola a resident of Chula Vista and an employee. I have expressed last year during
negotiations that my pay as that of my fellow co-workers in the miscellaneous category has been reduced by
more than 16%. All we are asking for is for Council to restore our wages from what we had and were due in
2009 by 2016. This can be achieved by budgeting employee increases as any other line item. Increases get
passed through Council all the time in addition of employees and classification changes. The monies are found
through savings or unanticipated revenue. Please consider us the miscellaneous employees as you do for other
city needs. There is no way the city could function without us. And now is the time to add us into the
budget, show us you care in a commitment to recognizing we are what holds the city together and deserve
respect in the budgeting process.
Sincerely,
Michelle Castagnola
