I am a new resident here in Hollister, Ca. I have been here for one year, and what I’ve seen so far is not very good. We could have a better community. Our citizens should come closer together to be involved in this community..
I came from another city that within five years lost $2.4 millionor more and $200,000 or more in tax payers money and that city really doesn’t know where all that money went. How can a city manager or mayor or city chiefsof police not know all that money was missing, caused by two city employees. I moved to Hollister to start fresh and I would like to get more involved in the community. Some of the things I am hoping for one already has been started. I feel the city should have their own Mayor and I have written about it to a few people and I was glad to see the option on the voting ballet last week. There was a little miscommunication when I went to vote because I did register a month before but for some reason when I went to my voting poll location they didn’t have me listed but that was all taken care of and I was able to vote. I hope everyone else voted!
I know and have learned a lot about how a city operates and runs, such as city management, city projects, and city operations. Also I feel that the water rate is so high, the city should not be broke and struggling. And after watching the news tonight, we can’t even afford a fire chief or city manager. I think there should be a bowling alley and skating rink for the kids here in the city. It’s called ideas and creating revenue which there is lack of. Thank you so much for listening. I’m someone one who cares and wants something better for our community!
