Subject: Ethics Complaint No. BOE 10-16-12B (fled October 16, 2012)
To the Members of the Board:
On October 16, 2012, a complaint was filed against the Chula Vista City Council and me before the Chula Vista
Board of Ethics. A copy of this complaint is attached. My deliberation and decision in the matter of rezoning
property across the street from the Olympic Training Center was based on information presented by City staff
and the applicant.
As part of the complaint, it is stated that I likened concerned homeowners to "children afraid of the bogieman
[sic]." I did not say this. My comments were in respect to people fearing what they do not understand;
therefore it is incumbent that accurate information be appropriately provided in a timely manner, giving as an
example that children fear monsters under their beds because they don't know what's there.
A second part of the complaint alleges that I could be taking a kickback from the developers. If the
complainant has information to support his/her allegations, that information should be brought forward. I have
received nothing from Integral Communities that could possibly be even remotely considered a kickback. This
is a serious allegation that is nothing short of being libelous speculation.
At no time did I engage in wrongdoing and offer for your consideration that the complaint does not demonstrate
any probable cause that an ethical violation has occurred and therefore it should be summarily dismissed.
Respectfully,
Cheryl Co
Mayor
