October 5, 2021 Council Meeting: Public Hearing 6a: Appointment to Fill a
Mayoral/Council Vacancy
From:
Allan Cooper, et. al., San Luis Obispo CA

Honorable Vice Mayor Stewart and Council Members -
Should Council Member Erica Stewart be nominated Mayor, then Mila Vujovich-La Barre
stands out as the most qualified candidate to take her seat.
Public Appeal
She ran for City Council in 2016 and at 17.3% received the 3rd highest vote tally after Andy
Pease and Aaron Gomez. Had Mike Clark, who was closely allied with Mila, not run for
office she would have been elected to Council .
Honors
To name a few, she recently received the SLO County Educational Leadership Woman of
Distinction Award, she was a National Society of Collegiate Scholars Honoree and is on the
SLO County Supervisors Wall of Fame.
Community Service
She is on the Board of Directors for Sunny Acres, on the Executive Committee of the Santa
Lucia Chapter of the Sierra Club, on the Board of Directors of the Prevention of Substance
Abuse for Youth and was President of SAVE SLO.
Thank you for your consideration.
