Dear Mr. Birchim, Ms. Galambos, Mayor Sikes Kline, s. Lopez, Dr. Xue, Dr. Qualls, Chair Becker, Ms. Gardner, Messrs. Hanna, Weaver, Mazzotta, and :
1. Has the City of St. Augustine ever before designated anyone as a "#FriendoftheCity?" If so, please send documents. If not, who decided to create and distribute the April 4, 2025 promotional Facebook on Pangiotta "Trish" Becker, with what authority and research?
2. Would you please be so kind as to send me all of the draft and final documents on the #FriendoftheCity, post on the City's Facebook page at 4 pm on April 4, 2025 regarding controversial AMCD Commissioner Pangiotta "Trish" Becker, along with any compliance review, including but not limited to possible election interference and possible violation of the City's Social Media Policies? Please include all communications between City Commissioners and City officials and the Anastasia Mosquiot Control District of St. Johns County, Chair Becker and District Commissoiners. https://www.citystaug.com/DocumentCenter/View/5058/Social-Media-Terms-of-Use?fbclid=IwY2xjawJfp0JleHRuA2FlbQIxMAABHoimzIF7yr2cY3kbGM67btxk6PLx8Z08dNzUv8o_Vp1aPMKbjRJ2nai3OxU5_aem_qBfi_9j2iwMsC-TAxOr26g
3. On March 12, 2025, I filed to run for Anastasia Mosquito Control District Commission, seat 4, currently encumbered by Ms. Becker.
5. Is this particular peculiar putative "honor" available to others? What are the City's alleged criteria? Please send documents, including any City Attorney, State Attorney General or Florida Ethics Commission opinion, complaint or research.
6. Folio Weekly called me an "environmental hero" for exposing the City's dumping of a landfill in a lake (Old City Reservoir).
7. The City's pollution of the Old City Reservoir was finally cleaned up and remedied after We, the People worked to hold the City accountable, and our City was fined by FDEP.
8. The City's peculiar April 4, 2025 Facebook post amounts to haughty hagiography in support of a controversial incumbent. It praises Ms. Becker for her role in the controversial mosquito museum, with 41% cost overruns. As AMCD Chair she has voted in favor of government waste, avoided and evaded records requests, and voted to approve illegal bonuses for herself and other AMCD Commissioners exceeding the statutory pay cap.
9. This not-so-subtle corruption of our City to support a controversial officeholder must be ended at once.
10. Please place this matter on a future St. Augustine City Commission agenda.
11. Kindly feel free to call me to discuss during the week of April 7, 2025.
Thank you.
With kindest regards, I am,
Sincerely yours,
