Complaints that newly appointed Oceanside City Councilwoman Kori Jensen may not live at the address listed on her application have been referred to the San Diego County District Attorney’s Office, the city clerk said Wednesday.
The North Pacific Street address on her application for the appointment is a vacation rental listed on airbnb, where a number of guests have posted comments on their recent stays. County tax records show Jensen owns and occupies a Carlsbad condominium, though Jensen said Saturday that she lives in Oceanside and her son and his girlfriend live in the Carlsbad condo.
Jensen also said she has rented an apartment near the Pacific Street address for the past 13 years, and that she spends much of her time at the apartment.
Kori Jensen: “My son is not only gay, he is a Pan-Asian.”
What does it take to become a member of the Oceanside City Council? One might be surprised to know how easy it was for the newest member of the the five-person body that controls a budget of $169 million and which oversees the third largest city in the county.
Forget name recognition. There was a pool of 35 who applied for the District 1 seat left vacant by Esther Sanchez when she became mayor. They included an ex-mayor, a current planning commissioner, a retired military officer, an ex-cop and a former staffer from the Trump Administration. None of the regulars who watch city hall had ever heard of Kori Jensen when she was appointed at a special city council meeting January 27.
