Councilperson Cogdill has ignored the wishes of district 6 voters by approving the building of the Naraghi Lakes shopping center. This was done against the wishes of the community, and has now resulted in a lawsuit against the City of Modesto. Councilperson Cogdill has voted numerous times approving actions to bring the Salida community into the City of Modesto’s ‘Sphere Of Influence’. During a time of budgetary crisis these actions constitute a misuse of taxpayer funds. In addition, on or about January 28, Councilperson Cogdill voted to begin the process of bringing the Wood Colony community into the City of Modesto’s ‘Sphere Of Influence’. This vote included an allocation of $75,000 in taxpayer money. Councilperson Cogdill’s occupation as a real estate land appraiser, and his association with the California Building Industry Association is a conflict of interest. On or about January 28, the Council had an agenda item to forgive $8.5 million in fines to the Seneca Corp. Meanwhile public safety budget items are being reduced, and taxpayer money is being spent on long-term City land planning and zoning. Councilmember Cogdill is not representing the current needs of District 6 or the City of Modesto. John P. Walker, Susanne Courtroul, Michael Courtroul, Jessica Walker, Raymond Chavarria, Anthony S. Hatt, Tina Gonzales, Jay Willis, Steve Hunting, Keith Askew, Douglas Miller, Melanie Miller. A copy of this notice and proof of service will be filed with the City Clerk pursuant to California Elections Code section 11023. You may file an answer to the statement of the proponents with the City Clerk within 7 days after the notice is filed. It may not be more than 200 words. If an answer is filed, a copy must also be served personally or by certified mail within that same 7-day period on one of the above proponents. The answer shall be signed and shall be accompanied by the printed name and business or residence address of the officer sought to be recalled.
