Dear SLO, City Council Members:
RE: Appointment to Vacant Mayor and Council Seat
First, while our current city council members are all highly capable, it appears that Vice
Mayor Stewart is likely to be appointed to fill out the term of mayor. I think she'd be a
great choice! I have known Erica since she was the Cal Poly ASI President and an intern
in the SLC, City Manager's Office. It is truly gratifying to see her continue on her
leadership journey in service of our community.
Because a vacancy on the Council is likely, I am also writing in support of the
appointment of Michael Multari to the SLO City Council. I will make my case for this
long time, highly involved resident of the city in the briefest fashion:
When It comes to our community,and to city government In particular, If you appoint
Mr. Multarl to the Clty Coundl, you will have appointed the best prepared, moat
knowledgeable and experienced person ever to be newly seated on the Coundl,
whether appointed or elected
Over the years, we have been blessed with many talented council members, both past
and present, Therefore, I haven't said this lightly. He's really that prepared, as his
resume amply demonstrates.
Appointing Ms. Stewart mayor, and having someone as prepared as Mr. Multari
assuming the vacant council seat, will ensure that the complex, urgent work of the
Council will proceed in a smooth, collaborative and highly thoughtful fashion until the
next election.
Thank you for your consideration and for the good work that you do for our community.
Sincerely yours,
Ken Hampian
