The Costa Mesa City Council on Tuesday night agreed to repeal an ordinance that banned registered sex offenders from city parks without law enforcement permission. Costa Mesa is facing its own lawsuit, John Doe vs. City of Costa Mesa, filed in The council unanimously approved giving rewards for people who provide information that helps fight vandalism. City staff contended that the rewards will encourage residents to assist police in the effort to combat acts of vandalism, which can be costly to fix.
Mayor Jim Righeimer on Tuesday said that, despite rumors to the contrary, the Costa Mesa Senior Center will not close and the city is not attempting to take it over. The audit also issued a series of recommendations, some of which senior center officials later contended were already in place.
Some during the meeting were against the idea, arguing that the foundation should be going toward senior center activities, not aiding the dwindling general fund. City officials, including CEO Tom Hatch and Councilwoman Wendy Leece, have been meeting with senior center staff within the past few weeks on coming up with solutions.
