Lloyd Pendleton’s speech to local officials, business leaders and advocates came as Orange County grapples with a growing homeless population and a severe shortage of shelter and affordable housing.
The Costa Mesa City Council Wednesday unanimously adopted a resolution against turning the Fairview Developmental Center into a homeless shelter.
In a forum that billed itself as hardball, journalists questioned Costa Mesa City Council candidates about the city’s proposed charter, outsourcing and rancor in the city’s public discourse.
Superior Court judge rejects city’s argument that the charter vote should move forward despite missed filing deadline.
The city, which missed the deadline to put the proposed charter on the June ballot, has failed to show that it faces irreparable harm if it has to wait until November, judge says.
