Isip Mayor sa ato lungsod, gusto nako ipahibayo sa publiko ang pagsuspende mahitungod sa ato opisyal na awit na nailhan na “Santa Monica Hymn”.

Bag-o ra nadiskubre na jauy isyu bahin sa original na komposisyon sa maong kanta. Tungod ini, kita magpahibayo na pahunongon anay ang paggamit sa “Santa Monica Hymn” sa tanan opisyal na kalihokan sa lokal na panggamhanan samtang gisulbad pa ang problema. Ini na lakang para matagaan pa ng panahon para sa pagmugna ng bag-o na komposisyon.

Bisan pa ini na awit gigamit na sa niagi na administrasyon isip simbolo sa pagkahiusa, responsibilidad nato kuman na sigurohon na ang tanan materyales na ato gamiton isip opisyal na hymn wayay problema sa katungod sa komposisyon. Balikon ko, ini na hymn gigamit na biskay paman sa nangagi na administrasyon. Dili tujo sa kasamtangan na administrasyon ang paglapas sa biskan uno na katungod sa orihinal na kompositor. Gihangyo ko ang pagsabot sa tanan para mapanalipdan ang integridad sa lokal na panggamhanan sanan para masiguro na ang tanang materyales na ato gamiton legal, sakto, sanan jauy pagtugot.

Nagpasalamat ako sa ijo pagsabot sanan kooperasyon. Sa umaabot na mga adlaw, magpagawas kita na dugang na pahibayo kung unoy ipuli o unoy mahimo na resolusyon sa ini.

Padajon kita sa pagtinabangay para sa karajawan sa ato lungsod.

Daghan salamat!
