Dear Vice Mayor Stewart and Members of the Council,
If your deliberations regarding appointment of a mayor results in a vacant council seat, I highly
recommend you appoint Mila Vujovich-La Barre to fill that seat.
I knew of Mila from her appearances at City Council, the Planning Commission and other commissions and
committees. But I did not really know Mila until I served on the 3-year Land Use and Circulation Elements
Task Force. Mila was one of a very few residents who understood the importance of these documents, did
her reading and research, and provided input to the Task Force. Subsequently I learned how active and
knowledgeable about City government and about our community she really was - and is.
Mila has experience speaking with all races and all age groups. As a teacher, she is involved with our
youth, their parents and her co-workers, and understands their concerns. As a daughter she understands
the aging process and the problems that can bring. Being bi-lingual she easily interacts with the Spanish-
speaking members of our community. As a long-time environmentalist she actively pursues remedies to
those things that negatively affect the environment. Mila has also operated a small business and, thus,
understands the problems faced by many small business owners. Most of all she loves the city and the
people in it.
Mila would not need time to learn about city government and how it works; she already knows. Mila
would be the best qualified addition to the City Council.
Thank you for your consideration.
