Costa Mesa's Preserve Our Neighborhoods Task Force

Mayor announces appointments to Preserve Our Neighborhoods Task Force Mayor Jim Righeimer announced this week the first seven appointments to his newly formed Preserve Our Neighborhoods Task Force, a group that will explore ways to lessen the negative impacts of group homes on Costa Mesa residential communities. The task force members are Jeremy Broderick, Kerry McCarthy, Scott McClane, Joe McGreevy, Lisa Morlan, Tim Sesler and Larry Weichman. “The city is committed to spending the resources needed to maintain the character of our Costa Mesa neighborhoods and their safety,” Mayor Righeimer said. “The City Council recently passed a nuisance ordinance that will help curb bad behavior in our neighborhoods, and we are looking to the task force to come up with other solutions that keep the integrity of our neighborhoods without discriminating against any group.” The task force will convene for the first time within the next few weeks and establish a regular meeting schedule.
