Re: Evidence of Legal and Ethical Violations by High-ranking Public Servant
Pursuant to overwhelming evidence that LA City Councilman Felipe Fuentes (CD7) improperly used the powers of public office to harm another public city organization, the Sunland-Tujunga Neighborhood Council (STNC), through the misleading of fellow city councilmembers Into believing STNC's office space at North Valley City Hall had been vacant, which resulted in the council approving two motions to lease out the occupied space to non-profit organizations for as little as $1/yr; AND
Pursuant to overwhelming evidence that Mr. Fuentes also used the power of public office to re-key STNC's Committee Meeting Room and on 10/19 plans to rekey the entire building and severely restrict access to the STNC except for one meeting per month, this action violates state tenant laws by not providing at least 30 days notice before limiting access to STNC's negotiated space they've had for the past 11 years; AND
Pursuant to strong evidence pointing at least one motive for Furntes' actions is retaliation due to animosity toward certain STNC board members as well as disapproval of certain actions the STNC has taken, AND due to further evidence showing that STNC was given less than 30 days notice for this constructive eviction of limiting access to their office space, which blatantly violates two state laws, one that prevents landlord retaliation and the second that requires a minimum of 30 days notice for tenant agreement terminations,
WE THE PEOPLE demand that an investigation be conducted immediately into these legal and ethical violations and appropriate charges made. We also demand that the two motions authorizing leases of STNC's office space be immediately rescinded on the grounds that their underlying premise of vacant space was false and leasing unvacated space would violate the law.

The momentum behind this push proves that the public is sick of Felipe Fuentes treating our city offices like his personal playground for petty revenge. He thinks he can bully local boards and bypass tenant laws without consequence but we are proving him wrong today. Keep the pressure on because he needs to know that his corrupt tactics will not be tolerated anymore.

The reason why there is growing dissatisfaction and cynicism in the public sector is the feeling of pre-ordained unfairness which is totally counter to our national idea of democracy. Mr. Fuentes' actions feed that growing distrust and cynicism and he should be investigated, Thank you.
Shameful behavior from an elected official. His associates on the city council should be embarrassed and ashamed over his hoodwinking of them to get this voted on. He should be recalled. If he lies this openly what else has he done?
It would be great to understand why this is happening. There were many ways to go about sharing a building. Certainly compromises that could be made if indeed these organizations really need to be there. Nobody ever discussed any of them with us. No discussion at all. No presence at a meeting, no verbal exchange, just a letter. We are supposed to be a team. I would LOVE to know what happened here and why. The office of Felipe Fuentes does not seem to be responding to our communication efforts.
We deserve to be treated as valuable members of the city of Los Angeles NC system of elected volunteered. We deserve to have our office and all our meetings held in the building that we have for eleven years for free.
Abuse of power & total disregard & mistreatment of all citizens in the Sunland/Tujunga area.
Mr. Fuentes needs to resign Now. He is not fulfilling his commitment to represent his constituents. He is against us for his own personal gain and don't want him to do any more damage to our communities. It's evident that he doesn't listen and doesn't care. Shameful!.
