The Laguna Beach City Council voted late Tuesday to censure Councilmember Peter Blake, marking the first time councilmembers have enforced a decorum and civility policy adopted in 2019.
The Council’s 4-0-1 vote, Blake abstained, caps a months-long campaign by a relatively small group of vocal residents who have urged Mayor Bob Whalen to use a censure process he introduced into city law. Censure is essentially an official admonishment and doesn’t invalidate any of Blake’s votes or restrict him from speaking at future meetings.
“This is not about trying to quell his speech and his viewpoints it’s about how you communicate your viewpoints and treat people who come before the council,” Whalen said.
