Gladwell, City Clerk SUBJECT: Appointment to Fill a Vacant Council Seat (REVISED FOLLOWING COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN ON 11/29/94) RECOMMENDATION: 1) By motion, nominate a Council Member to serve a term of office to end December 1, 1996 2) Adopt a Resolution appointing aforementioned Council Member DISCUSSION: With the commencement of terms on December 1st, a vacancy of one Council seat will be created. On November 29th, the Council adopted the following procedure: 1. Any citizen wishing to serve on the Council should be present at the Council meeting to verify that they would be willing to serve, if appointed, and must be a resident of the City of San Luis Obispo and a registered voter. 2. Each candidate will be given five minutes to make a presentation to Council. I 3. Candidates are encouraged to deliver a 200 word written statement presenting their qualifications for serving by Monday, December 5th. The statement should include: .Time available each week to devote to the Council .Reasons for wanting to be appointed .Involvement in community affairs and organizations, especially in the preceding 23-month period .Personal qualifications for the position .Prior experience in government, or areas associated with or doing business with government 4. The Council may questions candidates, then a nomination is made and vote taken. Following a successful nomination, the Council takes a separate vote on a resolution making the appointment. In the event a majority of the Council cannot reach agreement on an appointment, the item may be continued throughout the month of December. In this case, the Council may wish to appoint a Council Subcommittee to interview and make a recommendation, similar to the process utilized for Advisory Body appointments. If an appointed Council Member does not take office prior to December 31st, a special election must be held in March. The last special election was held in 1991 and consisted of four ballot measures. The cost of the election was $60,859. It is my hope to avoid this additional expense to our taxpayers and I would urge all of us to work together to achieve a compatible and representative appointment.

What most people want is to have the vacated position filled as quickly as possible and see the city get back to business.. I strongly recommend that new council, upon taking office the first of December, decide to fill the vacant position with the appointment of the person receiving the third highest number of votes in the recent election: Marc Brazil. Mr. Brazil, by campaigning for a position on the council, has shown his interest in being involved and the people have shown their approval by casting the number of votes they did for his candidacy. Let's not feel like we have to reinvent the wheel. The idea of appointing the next highest vote getter is just good common sense.

I, among many others, feel strongly that Mark Brazil should be appointed to the City Council to fill the vacancy. I was very impressed with Mark's campaign for the council and I feel that he has a genuine concern for the future of this city. Mark's family has deep roots in this county, going back five generations. Mark has demonstrated a solid working knowledge of the political process, but he balances it with a vision for the city that reflects a high ethical standard. I also find him a good listener and one who is able to get to the heart of the citizen's concerns. In short,he has the vital tools it takes to be a responsible and competent council member. Mark ran a good campaign, backed by many current and past civic leaders. His endorsements are many, and deservedly so. Other names have been mentioned for this position, but Mark was the third highest vote getter in the election and he should be appointed to the position. Most others mentioned did not run in the election, therefore they did not express prior interest in the position. I feel this is an important factor in the selection process. Please give Mark the chance to serve the community and select him for the vacancy.

San Luis Obispo, CA 93401 , Dear Mayor Settle, and Council, Congratulations on your recent election campaigns! With your diverse and unique perspectives we can hope for a more professional style of leadership for our City. Now is the time to upgrade the level of local politics and move away from the small town "Good Old Boy" system which we have been trying to shake in the last few terms. The appointment of the fifth Council member raises the spectre of a Good Old Boy free for all. Something for nothing seems to bring them out of the woodwork. As elected officials, you have put your very lives on hold to reach out and educate the voters during your campaigns. This year's grueling election process left only a narrow margin to separate the winners from the losers. The next runner-up is the logical choice for the fifth Council seat, as he was chosen by the voters themselves. Please save the voters from an embarrassing display of small town politics and quickly enact a "Next Runner-UP" provision to the election rules. We are fortunate that this particular runner-up offers a level of professional experience and commitment which will enhance the Council's mandate to work for the good of all the people.

All of these positions have been in the area of helping to create and improve the life style for our citizens. I have also served on many county, state, and institutional boards and commissions. I state this is to show my willingness to be involved in making decisions that help the community. Having served the city for this long period of time in many capacities, shows that I am willing to spend my time for the next two years expanding on that service. I retired from teaching in 1988, and now have a small consulting business in Landscape Architecture and Arboriculture. I have ample available time to devote to city business. My wife, Dotty, and I first moved here in 1963 from Yosemite National Park, we both realized that San Luis Obispo was a unique place, and we both wanted to work to retain that quality. I observed then that the city was growing and expanding, but in a controlled manner. Those are some of the qualities that are special in view of what I had seen elsewhere. I will continue to see that special quality is retained. Having grown up in Glendale, I observed how urban sprawl could change the character of cities. I realize that stagnation and "freezing in time and space" is not an acceptable alternate to growth—I believe we must have sufficient growth to retain an economically balanced community. I am a moderate in my thinking and have friends and associates of many political persuasions. My "constituency" is the entire citizenry of San Luis Obispo. I can bring to the council an ability to work with people as exhibited by over 28 years as a professor in the classroom. I have led more than twenty overseas cultural tours. Participants were students and other adults from across the nation.This has given me the opportunity to see and evaluate many different forms of urban development. I am a Landscape Architect and can bring to the council a design perspective. As the city deals with development in the future, my expertise in this area would be valuable. I will bring a balance to the council. I have been on enough decision-making bodies to know that little is gained in settling issues unless all parties are willing to give and take. I can do that.

I strongly believe that all should obey the law in regard to the "separation of church and state", however, I believe just as strongly that an effort should be made to bring God back into the government. In this great "land of the free", we should have the right to express our religious beliefs, and to express them strongly, if we so choose. I believe that I should make frequent mention of my belief that, for the most abundant life, we must seek the divine love, joy, and peace which comes only from the holy Spirit of God. I do not believe that this is contrary, in any way, to either the letter of the law or the spirit of the law of this great "nation under God" which has the motto: "IN GOD WE TRUST".

I have considered the time and energy involved, consulted and received support from my. family, and thus am applyingfor for the open position on the City Council. I am familiar with the time requirelhents for this office and will make the commitment necessary to fulfill the responsibility. This Council vacancy comes at a critical time in our City's history and the make up of the Council is such that I strongly believe I can be the person that will "bridge" the perceived gulf between the two sides of the table. I have been in this position before and have been able to "team build" with my Commission so that, although seven individuals, we respected each others opinions without letting it interfere with our "professional" attitude as Commissioners I have been involved with youth groups as my children grew up in San Luis Obispo. From the SeaHawk's Swim Club, Old Mission School Board and Parents Club, Nativity Church Council, to business related organizations and as a member and President (93-94) of the Wednesday Rotary Club of San Luis Obispo de Tolosa (currently Rotary Dist. Gov'rs Zone Chair). I was part of the organizing committee (with Mayors Ron and Ken) of Obispo Beautiful. My long term residency and business experience has served me well in the various Commissions and Committees, that I will mention below. This will be valuable as a Council Member, especially as we get into the two year budget process and during these difficult times.

I served on the Planning Comnmission for seven years and have extensive experience with land use policy and regulation. I worked diligently reviewing agenda reports, speaking with citizens, seeking information, treating people respectfully and formulating consensus. I believe that hard rfork: based on collective information can result in decisions that are equitable for all. There are more than land use issues. I have a deep appreciation for the City's committment to cultural and recreational activities because of my work ,^rith the Mozart Festival and participation in recreational programs. These activities bind us together as a community. I have worked for businesses in the City and know the difficulties of economic survival and the unhappy results of faiIura_s.

However, I do have a great interest in City government and its activities, and would welcome this chance to serve.

STATEMENT I believe that it is in the city' s interest to avoid the expense and divisiveness that a special election would cause. The election would delay until March of 1995 consideration by the full council of numerous important issues.

I have been a classroom volunteer at C.L. Smith School for the past five years. I am a member of Smith School Site Council. I am a member of the San Luis Coastal Unified School District' s Strategy 14 Committee. I am active as a parent volunteer in Boy Scouts of America. I can devote approximately 30 hours per week to the Council. As outlined in my resume' , I have experience as an Administrative Analyst with the San Diego Police Department.

As an attorney I have represented client interests before city councils , planning and zoning commissions, Air Pollution Control Districts and numerous local, county, state and federal agencies. My experience has taught me the importance of cooperation in the resolution of difficult issues.

I believe T am ;lble to often see the bir.ger picture :.nd how things fit into it. We as a city are not unique in our problems, but we are unique in still being able to plan what will be best for all of our citizens. As a free agent I believe I am able to be balanced in recognizing, verbalizing and working for all. the segments of our population. I have served on the Board of Camp Fire, been involved in church activities. I have worked and served on the Board of The People's Kitchen for twelve years and now co—direct the program. I was a San Luis Obispo businessman from 1976 to 19919 and a member of the BIA. I have been active in our schools, and have two sons who have gone from elementary school through CucsLa and Cal Poly.

I have lived in San Luis Obispo for 4 years and in that time I have been an active member of the community. These activities include Past President and Area Governor of Toastmasters International of San Luis Obispo county; Loaned Executive for United Way of San Luis Obispo and served on several United Way committees; Vice President for Voices for Children and CASA volunteer; volunteer field reporter for the Highway 41 fire and KVEC radio; and a member of the 1995 class of Leadership San Luis Obispo. I am concerned about many things in our community-the homeless situation, the high unemployment rate, the mass exodus of businesses from.our community, the need for low-income housing-to name just a few. Our community needs to accept growth as a practical reality, but just not growth for growth's sake alone. We need "programmed growth"' By that I mean, we need to do a study on what businesses are needed in our city, compile a list of people already in our area who can fill the positions needed for those businesses, and then sell those same businesses on why they should be in San Luis Obispo. Of course, we would only consider businesses that are environmentally sensitive. Every person should be a part of the pulse of their community, a contributing and beneficial part of their community. Whether you're a lawyer, doctor or are homeless, you should be doing something. I feel I am a part of the San Luis Obispo community and am doing something toward the pulse of the community.

My qualifications as the best possible choice to fill the remainder of Mr. Settle's term: I'm a college graduate, forty years old, married to my first wife now eight-and-a-half years, an avid reader of both fiction and non-fiction, inter- ested in music, business, success, and people. I have been active in serving government as a private contractor for four years, am now currently employed as a publisher's representative in San Luis Obispo. I've expressed opinions on issues before the council during the eight years of city residency, most notably on state water and on downtown parade participa- tion. I consider the appointment a full-time position, and an honor due my total re- spect and dedication. My personal philosophy is "Teamwork makes the dream work," and enhancing San Luis Obispo not only as a great place to live, but as a great destination for visitors seeking enjoyment, entertainment, and relaxation. And I would not seek nor consider the seat after the term's expiration. Respectfully submitted, OOIAIC0. ❑ CDD DMR Cpp O FWDM A�p ❑ FIRE GRIEF Steven V.

MEETING AGENDA n ITE " 9 ITEM Douglas Thompson Attorney at Law 864 Osos Street San Luis Obispo, CA 93401 December 5, 1994 City Council City Ball + San Luis Obispo, CA Dear Council: As a 20 year resident of San Luis Obispo I am interested in serving on the City Council. I would first like to point out that I attended Elementary, Junior High School and High School in San Luis Obispo and have lived most of my life in San Luis Obispo with the exception of the time I went away for College and Law School. My family has owned and operated a business in town for over 20 years at 1825 Monterey Street. Further, I have a very real interest in what happens to San Luis Obispo since I am now opening my own law practice and starting a family of my own here in San Luis Obispo. My academic background consists of two Bachelor's degrees and a Doctorate degree. The Bachelor's degrees are from Pepperdine University, one in Economics and the other in Political- Science. - The Juris Doctorate degree is from McGeorge Law School. My work experience consists of having been a congressional intern and law clerk. I interned for local Congressman Robert Lagomarsino in Washington D.C. in 1991 working primarily as a liason between residents of the Central Coast and the Federal Government. Additionally, I have worked 4 of the past seven years at the local Law Firm of Farmer & Ready as a law clerk. I would like to be a council member so that I can make sure that San Luis Obispo continues to be the type of place that I grew up in. Thank you for your time and consideration.

Given the makeup of the new Council, it seems clear to me that what is needed to balance the Council is another strong voice to represent neighborhoods and the environment. I believe that I am such a voice. As you all know, I am one of two runner-ups in the City Council election receiving 21% of the vote in a four-way race. My support was "grassroots" and came from the environmental community and neighborhoods. The vast majority of the money I raised came in small contributions from "average" citizens. As you also know, I have been quite active in city government for the last few years. I have worked on issues pertaining to water, development, the economy, transportation, neighborhoods, and the environment..I served on the Economic Strategy Task Force where, for over a year, we met weekly for staff-supported, detailed discussion of nearly all the important issues facing San Luis Obispo. I also represent San Luis Obispo on the Citizen's Transportation Advisory Committee, Chair the county's Bicycle Advisory Committee, Chair the Sierra Club's Alternative Transportation Task Force, sit on the ECOSLO Board of directors, served for a year on the Edna Area Advisory Group, and was in the Chamber of Commerce's Leadership Program. I have demonstrated my dedication, my ability to work hard, my support in the community, and my qualifications to serve on the City Council. I hope that you will take that into account when you make your deliberations.

I have supported many other groups by participating in events or attending meetings and believe that a large part of our "quality of life" is because so many of us participate in our community. I have the time to give complete and full service to the position of Councilperson. I am planning on a direction of self-employment which guarantees my ability to focus on the tasks and requirements of this position. Lastly, I have had the opportunity to meet with each of you and came away very impressed with your personal commitments to your positions as Councilpersons and Mayor. I believe the strongest points I would bring to your team are that I know the value of being a team player and share much of'the vision you have with a diligent commitment to the community of San Luis Obispo. As a final thought, I believe this Council has the ability to be a unified council, to look forward together, to listen together, to create vision.together, and to reach;decisions that are united for the betterment of San Luis Obispo. For in listening.to the constituents at large all goals should.be-attainable. I hope I am given the opportunity to be the fifth person on your team. Relpectfiffly submitted, RECEIVED en R.

(You bet it is! As an instance, I could provide valuable input regarding one of the likely candidates.) The references then be interviewed via telephone by Council Members (a larger bunch of issues pop up - the media could have a blast with these kinds of issues ...): who should do the interviewing? I suggest that every Council Member be given the complete listing supplied by each candidate, and at their discretion call as many or as few as they so choose, anticipating that most nominees will receive 2 or more calls. If only one Council Member made calls, their "spin" on the report would be suspect by at least two other Council Members. If one or more staff persons were assigned to.make calls, again the issue of their unbiased reporting to the Council could.arise. Dodie Williams,-'SLO Councilwoman 12/5/94 Page 2 of 2 should the interviews be structured or unstructured? I favor an unstructured approach, which works if any and all Council Members are free to conduct their own interviews. If someone else was designated to make the calls, then a structured format would be recommended, opening up another whole can of worms (becoming so messy as to become a "deal killer" for the concept). how should the results be recorded? Again, with the various Council Members doing the calling at their discretion, I suggest that the recording be unstructured, left to the discretion of the individual Council Members. should the results be summarized and presented? (think about the media ...!)? No (except in closed meeting of the Council Members, if permitted under applicable law) - otherwise the references would hesitate to be open in their remarks, and further, the potential.for divisiveness would be ample. The risk of divisiveness is real. I do not want to set up a process which is devisive; if it likely would have that effect, please do not advance the concept. My Firm presently is involved in a selection process. We know enough not to put high confidence in interviews with prospective employees. We know enough not to put high confidence in self-selected references. We risk higher confidence in a resume of prior work, educational and cultural experiences - which we take the effort to verify at least for finalists. We do ask candidates to complete an application form (as available at an office supply store, or the City's personnel office). With the applicant's written authorization we do run personal credit bureau reports (we are dealing with commercial finance, and can ill afford to have employees with serious adverse personal financial histories representing us). We do interview candidates, contact references (including those they nominate and others which we independently identify), review resumes and check out the listed information, etc. The composite, then, goes.into the mixer and eventually we take the risk of offering employment, hoping that we do not make a serious error - and then, on the job, doing our best to nurture exceptional growth and constructive performance. Good luck! With best regards, f`-'i Douglas R. Pi rce
