Nielsen STATEMENT OF CANDIDATL , dR GOVERNING BOARD MEMBER, TRUSTEE AREA 1 San Luis Coastal Unified School District JOHN DE VINCENZO Education and Qualifications: A society has no greater responsibility than the education of its children and the real heroes of our society are not entertainment stars, megabuck financiers, and sports figures but parents and teachers who are devoting their lives to education. This education should be demanding, relevant, up to date, exciting, and individualized. Its goal should be the development of each student to her/his intellectual and self-esteem potentials while giving them a vision of what they could become. All aspects of it should be assessed for effectiveness. Over the past four years, generally, I have not supported increasing costs for administration, buildings and grounds, special education and transporta- tion. I have supported a stronger emphasis on mathematics, science and written expression; an elementary school music program; a district -wide technology plan; a preventive program for potential dropouts; and an increase in library services. My goals for the next four years are to improve the existing programs, place more emphasis on the development of critical thinking skills and self-esteem, better evaluate the effectiveness of our educational process, and to develop an early elementary program in mathematics and language skills that fumishes counseling and emphasizes parental responsibility and involvement. s/ John De Vincenzo 40-4 STATEA._.oT OF CANDIDATE FOR GOVERNING BOARD MEMBER, TRUSTEE AREA 1 San Luis Coastal Unified School District PERCY Z.

My experience as a teacher, coach, business person and parent has given me valuable insight into the present policies and programs of the Board and the goals which they are meant to achieve. I believe a new member of the Board who understands the nuts and bolts of the real work of education can make a difference for our children. I have a deep and abiding faith in the pure hard work that is the foundation for good education and honest public service. s/ Percy Z. Campbell STATEMENT OF CANDIWE FOR MAYOR City of San Luis Obispo RON OUNIN Occupation: Mayor/ retired businessman Education and Qualifications: Born and educated in Poland World War II veteran, decorated for war -time service, escaped from Nazi prison camp 10 years on City Council 1 term as Mayor 22 years community service 36 years business experience Obispo Beautiful, Business Improvement Association, Motel Association, City Promotional Coordinating Committee, San Luis Obispo Chamber of Commerce, Citizen of the Year, Honorary "EI Presidente" La Fiesta, Member County flood Control District, Member various senior citizens groups, Director American Heart Association Married 39 years to Helen During my first term as Mayor, the City: restored public involvement in the City's government constructed the City's first parking structure (soon to be opened) and approved a second structure constructed the long delayed Los Osos Valley Road overpass revitalized the Southern Pacific Railroad depot obtained state grants for rehabilitation of the City Recreation Center at Osos & Santa Rosa Streets successfully expanded City tourism promotion program continued to meet all state and local air quality standards improved recreational facilities at Laguna Lake Park improved basic city services: sewers, streets and public safety developed an interim water management program established strong relations with County and Cal Poly In a second term, I would support the following community goals: insure adequate water supply establish forest fire protection program construction of new City -County Library; performing arts center; and preservation of Fremont Theatre for public use continue close cooperation with students and Cal Poly administration regarding student group housing and "Greek Row" increase senior programs and expansion of the Senior Citizens Center additional recreational programs and facilities for families with children, single adults and seniors closer cooperation with state and local officials to reduce population at California Mens Colony greater reliance on existing in-house staff (instead of costly outside consultants) for program, project and policy review new mobile home parks and moderately priced new housing expansion of Mission Plaza; preservation and beautification of our unique downtown; improved parking and traffic circulation I believe all council decisions should reflect the needs and priorities of the people affected by those decisions. Therefore, during my next term, 1 will continue to serve all residents by: using my experience; encouraging citizen participation in City government; and applying prudent fiscal management. I believe San Luis Obispo is a great place to live and will do all I can to keep it that way. s/ Ron Dunin 40-10 'EMENT OF CANDIDATE FOR MAYOR City of San Luis Obispo DONALD 1. SMITH Occupation: Retired Aerospace Engineer Education and Qualifications: As Mayor I will protect our city's quality of life and unique character I will: Protect our clean air. Preserve our neighborhoods from undesirable and incompatible developments. Avoid the Los Angelization of our community. Work with all'governmental agencies to assist the disadvantaged, elderly, hungry and for emergency housing. Support greater cultural activities and facilities. I pledge to protect our water resources. I will: Maximize our current available water sources. Support a public vote on all new major water projects. I support mobilehome rent stabilization. Our current Mayor has consistently failed to participate in mobilehome park rental problems. I will participate, and I will support ordinance changes which make rent stabilization more effective. I pledge leadership in coordinating major public projects. This past year traffic anarchy has reigned on our roads and highways. I will insist that public works projects by all agencies be better coordinated for the public's convenience. Construction of the new library and parking garages downtown could lead to San Luis Obispo's first gridlock unless the public's interests are given a higher priority. The city should be a strong regional retail shopping center. The present overemphasis on tourism and the lack of parking have reduced downtown's role as a family shopping center. I support the Downtown Business Association's efforts to coordinate retail activities with Madonna Road retailers, and to provide greater parking and retailing opportunities downtown. I am not obligated to land speculators. Real estate developers and speculators contributed $12,000 to the campaign of the current Mayor two years ago, and he has voted favorably for almost every project before the Council. I will not accept money from these groups. I will fairly review their projects for community compatibility, but my vote cannot be bought! I refuse to accept political support from the Chamber of Commerce, or any other group that seeks taxpayer's money from the City Council to promote the piecemeal destruction of our way of life. I will insist that an environmental assessment be made before any City money is spent to promote tourism or business. I request your vote. My community involvement in San Luis Obispo has been open, untiring, consistent, and on the public record for the past 14 years. My health is excellent and I plan to devote many more years for our City. Please vote for Don Smith for Mayor on November 3, 1987. s/ Donald I. Smith STATEMENT OF CANDIDATE -FOR MEMBER OF CITY COUNCIL City of San Luis Obispo PEG PINARD AGE: 42 Occupation: Homemaker/ City Commissioner Education and Qualifications: Married- 4 Children plus Exchange Student Education: Bachelor of Arts - Sociology, Santa Clara University Community Service: Former "Voter" Editor and Board Member League of Women Voters Campfire Leader Co-founder of Old Town Neighborhood Association (OTNA) Peace Corps Volunteer Member: National Trust Architectural Review Commission Old Mission & Mission College Prep Parent Club Former Chairperson of the City Personnel Review. Commission Past Member: San Luis Obispo Historical Society City Fair Elections Committee Private Pilot Club Candidate's Statement I have been very involved in many aspects of our community in a variety of "people related" issues from traffic and zoning to tree -planting, bike paths, neighborhood safety and children's programs. I believe that we are all obligated to do what we can to make the world and our community a better place to live. I have a deep commitment to this City and the outstanding quality of life it offers to all. I will support issues that represent our community goals. I'm not tied to "speculators" or "big money" interests. I believe our City needs the leadership of committed, informed, experienced and caring individuals, not single -issue candidates with an axe to grind! I pledge to do my homework, analyze all issues thoroughly and objectively, without outside "influence". I will be very conservative where your (and my) money is concerned. There are many ways where money can be saved at City Hall. I am a problem solver and am known for getting things done. Major fiscal items, like the proposed importation of more water, should go to a vote of the People; after all, it's your money! Downtown survival is critical; parking, greater retail and residential oppor- tunities and cultural activities are necessary. Neighborhood preservation is necessary for the health of our community. The Old Town Neighborhood Association was established to preserve a'sen- sitive residential neighborhood. Traffic, oversized streets, poor circulation and increased densities can destroy the fragile fabric of. these special parts of our City. I would appreciate your vote on November 3 s/ Peg Pinard STATEIIncAT OF CANDIDATE'FOR MEMBER OF CITY COUNCIL City of San Luis Obispo WILLIAM G. ROALMAN AGE: 35 Occupation: Environmental Planner Education and Qualifications: Within the next year, our city's population will increase by approximately 1,000 people. Nearly 90 percent of these.newcomers will be relocating here from other counties. within California. The word is out that we've got a good thing going here. In fact, our city planners predict that we'll have an additional 12,000 new residents in San Luis Obispo by the year 2000. People move to San Luis Obispo because of the high quality of our environ- ment: clean air and water; open space; uncrowded healthy neighborhoods; and a friendly community spirit. The primary responsibility of the city council is to safeguard and promote this quality environment for all residents: young and elderly; wealthy and low income; newcomers and old-timers. Faced with this inevitable expansion, we need community leaders who are especially sensitive to the benefits of long-range, well-planned growth. Our community needs additional water sources, sewage treatment capacity, solid waste disposal sites, housing and jobs if we are to meet the needs of the future. However, in meeting these needs, we must be especially vigilant to protect our open spaces, wildlife habitat and natural resources. We must maintain the balance. Professionally, I work for, a privately owned, locally based environmental planning firm that specializes in preparing environmental impact reports for various cities and counties along the central coast. This work helps to sensitize me to the elements of environmentally sound development. Academically, I earned a Master degree in City and Regional Planning from UCLA in 1982. - Voluntarily, I serve as a board member for the Environmental Center, a non-profit organization promoting recycling and environmental education in our community. J edit the newsletter for our county's Sierra Club chapter. I'm also a member of the citizen's advisory committee reviewing the prepa- ration of our County's Master Plan for Parks and Recreation. As your City Council member I would fully exercise my individual responsibility to protect the natural, historic, and social resources that help make San Luis Obispo a wonderful place to live. 40-11 s/ William R. Roalman STATEMENT OF CANDIG.nE FOR MEMBER OF CITY COUNCIL City of San Luis Obispo JERRY M. REISS AGE: 49 Occupation: Businessman/ City Planning Commissioner Education and Qualifications: Education: University of Arizona and Cal Poly School of Architecture Community Involvement: - Board of Regents Mission College Preparatory School 1985-1987 President and Director San Luis Obispo County Contractor's Association 1979-1982 ' City Architectural Review Commission 1977-1981 City Planning Commission 1981 -Present As a native Californian and 25 year resident of San Luis Obispo, I've observed changes in the community of nearly every magnitude. Changes resulting in unmendable harm ---changes that have enhanced the lives of all. I have been in business locally for the past 19 years and directly involved in the city process for the past ten years—first as Architectural Review Commissioner and now as Planning Commissioner. I have hands-on experience in the processes that weave the fabric of San Luis Obispo. The issues that face the city are well publicized ---water, growth, affordable housing, the local economy, care of the elderly, basic services, cultural programs, enhanced compatability.with Cal Poly and the county; preservation of our neighborhoods, our downtown, our heritage, our children's city .... If San Luis Obispo is going to remain something special, something more than just another blur passed thru by a highway, these issues; and issues yet to be, must be dealt with head-on: They must be dealt with not by special interest groups, not politically, not based on economic benefit to a select few --they must be dealt with on the basis of sound judgment and a healthy, realistic goal. A goal which acknowledges our past, provides for the present and challenges the future to be a better place to live, a better place to raise our children, a better place to grow old. As a member of the City Council, I would continue the commitment to the city that I've demonstrated in business, in community involvement and in my personal life for the past 25 years. A commitment sensitive to the needs of the people, the city and the environment. The most important part of any election is that you vote --- I urge you to do so. s/ Jerry M. Reiss 40-12 n-ftMENT OF CANDIDATE FOR MEMBER OF CITY COUNCIL City of San Luis Obispo GEORGE GIBSON AGE: 39 Occupation: Registered Civil Engineer/ Administrator Education and Qualifications: I am currently the Hydraulic Planning/Special Assignment Engineer for the County of San Luis Obispo and have been involved with City and County Government processes representing both the private sector and government since 1980. My experience includes technical and financial analysis with an attitude of outspoken drive for results. I have served on the City's Architectural Review Committee and have firsthand ex- perience as an applicant for permits from the City's Community Development Department, Building Department, and Public Works Department. The City needs a Council member that will work for the residents to achieve programs that show quality results ratherthan endless dialogue and exhausted budget accounts that produce again distant goals. I will regularly and diligently pursue those courses of action that provide for the best levels of service and benefit for residents of the City while maintaining that quality of life we have all come to enjoy. I need your support and your vote. As an experienced government employee and community worker, if elected, I will: Maintain current policies for strong police and fire protection programs with increases in programs for maintenance and service of existing City facilities. Support a growth management policy that provides economic benefit to business, employment for residents and minimal environmental im- pact. Encourage management of the City's water resources for economic growth while removing existing deficit allocation methods. Support the development of additional, reliable water supplies prior to allocating their use for growth; for residents to suffer through potentially drastic conservation measures to accommodate growth is not right. Work for a strong recreational program by supporting a youth recreation center, additional sports programs for adults and additional cooperation with private groups such as Little League and Youth Soccer for better facilities. Ensure City policies continue to enhance shopping within the City from the foothill Plaza areato the Madonna Road corridorto the Downtown. Maximize the potential of the Mission Plaza expansion by encouraging and supporting the Business Association in developing new and continu- ing old Mission Plaza activities. As your elected Council member, I will only support those programs that achieve the highest quality results for City residents, while providing a guaran- tee for my children and yours for an equal or better quality of life for the City's future. I would appreciate your support and your vote. Thank you s/ Lewis George Gibson STATEMENT OF CANDIDA1.-.9R MEMBER OF CITY COUNCIL City of San Luis Obispo JACK GATZ AGE: 53 Occupation: Data Processor Education and Qualifications: My family and I have .lived in San Luis Obispo since 1972. 1 graduated from Santa Paula High School and then Ventura College. i served two years in the U.S. Army and upon my honorable discharge lived in the Santa Monica area -for a number of years. Diane and I were married in 1963 and we slowly moved north. First to Santa Barbara in 1965 and then to San Luis Obispo in 1972 with our children, Vanessa and Greg. I am no stranger to a small, rural area, and I am no stranger to the vast overdeveloped/industrial/polluted expanses of the big city. We must not become another big city. We know more and more.people are. moving to the Central Coast. Thus growth is inevitable. The City must respond to the following problems: 1. Growth, controlled or uncontrolled. 2. Water, an adequate supply or not enough. 3. Our environment, maintain it or lose it. When we talk about growth, we often consider only the number of people coming to live in an area. This is only a small portion of my concern. Growth to me includes jobs, services, and facilities to manage and help our increased population. The City of San Luis Obispo can no longer be an island. We must be involved in the big picture of the entire Central Coast. The City must be aware of, and consider, Central Coast needs as well as City needs. What happens in Los OsosBaywood Park, Arroyo Grande, Pismo Beach, or Atas- cadero, affects us here in San Luis Obispo. We must plan our growth, not only in San Luis Obispo but on the Central Coast too! We must decide now on what this area is going to do about water in the 1990's. We must do the research now so that we will be prepared forthe future. Our environment is precious to all of us. Our clean air must remain clean, ourwaters unpolluted, and we must be considerate of the land as we use it. Let us prepare for the future now so that we can protect and preserve our area for future generations. Let our actions in the 1980's show that we are responsible for tomorrow. s/ Jack Gatz. ATLI... AT OF CANDIDATE FOR MEMBER OF CITY COUNCIL City. of San Luis Obispo FREDERICK HUNT AGE: 24 Occupation: University Student Education and Qualifications: I am currently a Cal Poly senior majoring in finance. I have been actively involved in university activities. I had just. recently completed a one year term representing the school of business on the ASI student senate. I therefore have;experienced and participated in the workings of a policy making assembly. At Cal Poly, I had written and sponsored two resolutions. First, a resolution dealing with class registration, and second, a resolution to increase student awareness of the AIDS issue to implement a feasible plan to make information and protection more available to students. I have also been active as the elections committee chairperson, representative of the ASI childrens center board and the Cal Poly AIDS committee. On the civic level, I have been involved with the county's electoral processes in the past five years: I have been active on these committees and I will continue to be active as a councilman. Some issues that I find are of,conceamong the citizens of this city would be to m support policies that would lead to affordable housing, especially for seniors and young people. Inorder to maintain this goal foraffordable housing in San Luis Obispo requires that the city council would maintain long term growth policies. A long term plan for city growth would also include. our economic enterprises. We must continue to strive to expand business activity. We must not neglect the historic and valuable aspects of our downtown businesses; we can strive to maintain and expand this valuable resource. We must also be certain that growth- does not also takeaway the beauty and natural features that make this city. a pleasant place to live. Finally as a Cal Poly. student, I strive to lessen strained relations with the city and will work to support a greek row. to resolve some of those conflicts. Lastly as a candidate, I realize that each resident has the last voice regarding the issues. I most certainly will listen to what San Luis Obispo residents want and will act upon it. I hear you and seek the position of city counciiperson to act upon what I hear. 40-13 s/ Frederick Hunt STATEMENT OF CANDE, 2`c FOR MEMBER OF CITY COUNCIL City of San Luis Obispo ROBERT BOONE ANAWATY AGE: 33 Occupation: Student/ Community Volunteer Education and Qualifications: San Luis Obispo is my home and I look forward to my future here. I am interested in legislation concerning the environment and have been studying San Luis Obispo city government since I first came to Cal Poly in 1975. Prior to that time I served a legislative internship in Washington, D.C. obtaining a knowledgeable working back- ground of our political system. As a creative problem solver, I consider myself a communication bridge between the government, business people, environ- mentalists, and especially our senior citizens. My priorities are: A. Economic stabilization that comes from: 1. managed growth. 2. the settling of high-tech and research firms. B. Cultural and environmental quality of our city. C. Affordable housing. D. Retaining the charm of the downtown area. I realize most problems are not easily solved nor are answers available to please everyone involved. However, through a diligent study of all aspects of a problem, I am able to make decisions based on knowledge; fairness, and common sense. , The most important service I can offer our community is my abilityto anticipate problems in many areas before they arise. Because of this, strategies may be planned to meet issues ratherthan reactto them. My foresight, imagination, and openness to citizen input will enable me to conform to this plan. We do not need urban sprawl, congestion, and noise to be out of control before we react. My energy and dedication will confront these problems before they are a menace. s/ R. B. Anawaty 40714 N.,eMENT OF CANDIDATE FOR MEMBER OF CITY COUNCIL City of San Luis Obispo JAMES C. MAXWELL AGE: 37 Occupation: Water/ Wastewater Treatment Operator Education and Qualifications: First and foremost I call upon the people of San Luis Obispo to turn out and vote in record numbers in this, our Constitution's 200th birthyear. Politically I'm a novice. But my professional life has centered around helping people resolve conflict. This includes 13 years in the mental health and medical,fields. In San Diego from 1973-79 1 worked in the areas of drug rehabilitation and intensive care (locked facilities) of adolescents. I also held license as Emergency Medical Technician and did in home help for cardiac patients. Coming to the beauty and openness of San Luis Obispo in 1980, 1 earned State licensure in psychiatric technology in 1981; treating the.most severe cases at Atascadero State Hospital until 1986. The past year has seen me draw very near a biological sciences degree at Cal Poly. To put these technolog- ical interests to work, I'm now training with the State in water/wastewater treatment. While in San Diego, I lived in an area called La Jolla. This means "The Jewel". Here in San Luis, we truly have a jewel of a place. What we don't want is the megapolis policies and planning that we all know has made communities indistinguishable virtually all over Southern California. Originally I'm from near Paducah, Kentucky. It's a city of 35,000 also, and is a latitudinal cousin of ours. With similar farm interests, they also lay near an earthquake fault and have decades of Tennessee Valley Authority water experience. I've begun opening channels to exchange knowledge. Com- munities helping each other is part of the Town 2 Town idea friends and I sparked last Spring. You may consult the records of Mustang Daily, KSBY or KCOY-TV for more on this. So I've tried to help folks whenever possible in personal ways. I'd like to be a part of the City government to continue to be able to help, In new ways. The profession in water resources obviously puts my own skills in the arena of one of San Luis Obispo's ongoing issues. You'll hear a lot about water in this year's campaigns. As a mobilehome owner, I'm right in the midstream economic interest pool with all of you. I do business all over town. I hope all my friends of all leanings get out and vote. I'll keep my fingers crossed that it will be for me. Affiliations include: Amateur Athletic Union, Biology of CancerCommittee(Cal Poly), World Hunger Project. S/ James C.

I ran for City Council in 1985, just missing a seat by only 190 votes: Business experience: I have been a businessman for 15 years, working in retail, manufacturing, and wholesale. , Local roots: I grew up in San Luis Obispo, attended both Cuesta College and Cal.Poly. I have been married 11 years and am the father of two fourth-gen- eration San.Luis Obispo natives. Well known active citizen: I host and produce the successful weekly cable TV show "San Luis Today", now in its.third year. I have sponsored two city initiatives, one in 1983 on parking and one in 1985 on affordable housing. I ran in a very close Mayoral election in 1983. The 1983 parking battle stopped an expensive project, made the downtown BIA independent, unjammed the enclosed Madonna Road Mall from oppos- ition, and produced two parking structures for the same parking fund budget. In the last 20 years, I've seen our city mature to the real gem of Central California. We should avoid short term "panic planning" and use sensible long term planning. The City Council needs a member .with some common sense affordable solutions, someone not afraid to make a decision. We are now taking decades to study problems: 5 years on the Mobile Home Park issues 20 years on growth solutions 20 years on parking 25 years on Performing Arts Center 25 years on new water sources I call it "decisions by decades". For example, the city recently budgeted over $1.1 million for two years of more studies. We make progress, but slowly. Building permit red tape hurts businesses and adds to the cost of housing. I want to see us planning for production, not for paper. The City Council is unbalanced: it needs an active local businessman with a decade of political involvement who can work with the rest of the Council to produce results. 40-15 s/ Ron Bearce j C u C U L D L L Please mail ballot to me at: ME* APP,�ATION FOR ABSENT VOTE BALLOT ADDRESS CITY STATE ZIP CODE NOVEMBER 3, 1987 ELECTION DAY OCTOBER 27, 1987 LAST DAY APPLICATION MAY BE RECEIVED I hereby apply for an absent voter's ballot: SIGNATURE OF VOTER RESIDENCE ADDRESS AS REGISTERED BALLOT WILL NOT BE SENT UNLESS SIGNED BY APPLICANT DO NOT SEPARATE FROM: 40AV-60148 FOLD ALONG THIS LINE FRANCIS M.
