council Wft" D° ,0 j agenda aepoRt CITY OF SAN LUIS O B I S P O FROM: Michael Codron,Assistant City Manager Prepared by: Elaina Cano, City Clerk J&A,0- SUBJECT: APPOINTMENT TO COUNCIL VACANCY RECOMMENDATION 1. Nominate an applicant to an unexpired Council Member term ending December 1, 2012; and 2. Adopt a resolution appointing aforementioned Council Member. DISCUSSION On December 1, 2010, Council Member Jan Marx was installed to the Office of Mayor creating a vacancy on the City Council. On December 1, 2010, the City Council adopted a process for making an appointment to the City Council to fill the unexpired tern. At that time, a public hearing was scheduled for December 21, 2010,to consider applicants for this position. Applications and written statements of qualifications were received by the City Clerk between 8:00 a.m. on Friday, December 3, 2010, and 5:00 p.m. on Monday, December 13, 2010. These applications and statements have been provided to the Council, are available to the public at the Clerk's Office in City Hall and on the City's website, and are attached to this agenda report (Attachment 1). The City Clerk received statements and/or resumes from three citizens requesting appointment to this position. In alphabetical order,the applicants are: Patricia Andreen Dan Carpenter Kevin Rice The City Clerk has verified that all three of these applicants are eligible to be appointed to the City Council. Council Member Selection Process During the public hearing, each applicant will be given five minutes to make a presentation and will be asked to verify their willingness to serve. After all speakers have concluded, the Mayor will return discussion to the Council for further consideration. In a straw vote, each council member will announce and the City Clerk will record the applicants nominated by each council member as their first, second and third choice. All rankings will be done audibly and recorded by the City Clerk on a transparency. The transparency will then be placed on the overhead projector in full public view while the City Clerk tallies the results. PH1-1 Council Agenda Report—Appointment to Council Vacancy Page 2 If an applicant receives 3 first place rankings a nomination will be made and voted on. The applicants who receive at least two first choice votes will be put into nomination and discussion will continue until a consensus is reached. If Council is able to reach a consensus on an appointment, the City Clerk will administer the Oath of Office to the newly appointed Council Member. This process was successfully employed when filling the Council vacancy in December 1994 and September 1998. If Council is unable to reach consensus, Council could adjourn the meeting to a subsequent special meeting, provided such meeting could be completed within 30 days of the occurrence of the vacancy (by Mondays January 3, 2011). If this deadline cannot be met, the City Charter requires the vacant seat to be filled by a special election(Attachment 2). PUBLIC CORRESPONDENCE Members of the public have been engaged in the process and have submitted a substantial amount of input for the City Council to consider. This correspondence has been collected and forwarded to City Council Members on a daily basis and has been posted on the City's website for public review each day. The correspondence is also available for public review in the City Clerk's Office in City Hall. Public comments will continue to be accepted up until the start of the December 2Is'public hearing and during the public comment period for this item. CONCURRENCES The City Manager and City Attorney both concur with the recommended process for appointing a Council Member to fill the vacant, unexpired seat. This process is consistent with Charter Section 406 and the City Council's Policies and Procedures Section 3.3 (Attachment 3) and with the process approved by the Council on December 1, 2010. FISCAL EWPACT If the Council makes an appointment to fill this vacancy, there will be minimal fiscal impacts. However,a special election,conducted for the City by Martin& Chapman, election contractor, is estimated to cost between $67,500 — $81,000. This would be an all inclusive cost that would cover the printing, postage and mailing of ballots, consulting, polling place supplies, ballot counting equipment, etc. The County Registrar of Voters Office has given an estimate of $38,960 - $48,400. This amount would only include the cost for printing and mailing of the ballots. The County Clerk has confirmed that there are no elections scheduled March 1, 2011, thru April 30,2011, and has not committed to assisting the City with an election at this time. The estimates above do not include City staff time or additional assistance in the City Clerk's office. In addition to contracting with Martin & Chapman during the April 2005 Special Election, the City contracted with a retired City Clerk to assist with the internal operations of the election at an additional cost of$21,000.

If appointed,I am ready to participate in these discussions and devote substantial time to finding long term solutions in a collegial, transparent process.

The substantial voter support I received on November 2"d is my primary reason for seeking this appointment. My success was to within 1% of being elected, due largely to a diverse voter base. I ask that you respect the "will of the voter" in your deliberations to fill the vacated seat. I've served many years on City Advisory Bodies, including my current service as Chairman of the CHC. My volunteer activities in the community have focused on some well deserving nonprofit organizations. I'm committed to give back to the community that I've called home for my entire life. My part time position at the History Center is very flexible. I can commit all the time necessary to fulfill the obligations as Councilperson. I feel the almost 5200 voters who asked me to serve on Council is the best qualification I can give you. My willingness to serve on this Council began back in July when I turned in my nomination papers. My business background, qualifications, &active community service will be a tremendous asset to the citizens of San Luis Obispo.

PH1-10 { ATTACHMENT 1 Statement for Office of City Council Kevin P. Rice The People of San Luis Obispo deserve to be represented by a Council of their choosing.While recognizing the legitimacy of interim appointments, a vacant term equal to the duration of the elected Mayor(two years) must only be filled with the support of the Electorate. Holding elections is not fiscally irresponsible; an unelected swing-vote controlling a$100 million budget is reckless. Vacancies created by seat-hopping from council member to mayor unethically empower the mayor to hold a one-third vote in choosing their own replacement I intend to amend our city charter to repair this, similar to the City of Morro Bay. I am available to devote the required number of hours necessary for service on the Council (40 hours minimum) though I will not be ending my gainful employment to make the Council a career. I have previously served on the city Mass Transportation Committee and have recently been deeply involved in Community Organizing in regards to beach cleanups and local coastal environmental issues. My appointment does not indebt me to this Council. I have not donated to any election campaigns of the sitting members nor do I have any inside political ties or friendships.

Over 24,000 votes were cast for the six city council candidates and now we are going to have four city council votes determine the outcome of the next city councilperson. This seems to be a bearly acceptable means of electing a councilperson. Knowing that a vacant seat could arise was a definite possibility, should Jan become Mayor, I feel there should have been an amendment in place prior to the election stating that the next highest vote gatherer would automatically be awarded the seat. I hope this council will correct this for the future. I feel there are two indelible qualifications needed for candidates running for city council, one of them is knocking on neighborhood doors and meeting the people of San Luis Obispo and the other is to be heard as part of candidate debates. I have a concern with two of the three candidates running in that they have not presented themselves to the public of SLO at their doorsteps and have not been part of candidate debates. I feel this is what makes our local governments work. A question I wish you could ask these candidates is, Why didn't they enter the Nov 2 election and are instead doing it now? I feel the citizens of SLO deserve an answer to this question.

Attached, please find two letters of correspondence to the Council which I believe should have been disclosed publicly (both on their own, and as a target of my PRA request) . The first letter was clearly sent to all four council members using their city provided email addresses. This qualifies as a public record. Additionally, it appears that correspondence not sent to the "slocitycouncil@slocity.org<mailto:slocitycouncil@slocity.org>', email address is not posted by the Clerk. I have heard from others that say their emails have not appeared. The second letter in my attachment is from a prominent and influential local politician to all four council members. Influential letters are being withheld from the public in a matter where the City claims 'transparency' . Thank you for your concern. Kevin P.

I have known Patty for more years than I recall, both socially and professionally; I have appeared before her in arbitration, and have helped with her various campaigns for public office. Her intelligence and critical thinking abilities always continue to impress me. She has done her homework and is prepared to back up her position; yet she is willing to consider new evidence, remaining flexible and pragmatic in reaching a final decision. I have found her prime consideration to be, how does this benefit the larger good? On the other hand, when not engaged in social or legal debate, you'll find Patty has a wicked sense of humor and easy to work with, doing more than her fair share, and,just as importantly, she radiates an infectious feeling of joy in all her activities. She would be an excellent choice to represent SLO residents on the city council. Angie King PS Kathy -- I am not getting out bec of a broken foot and can't drive! plus all the rain. sorry I missed the swearing in and hope we can meet up in 2011. Angie King San Luis Obispo CA From: Ashbaugh, John Sent: Friday, December 17, 2010 10:12 AM To: John Fowler; John Ewan Oewan@alteryourenergy.com); drwill.powers7@gmail .com; Adam Hill (ahill@co.slo.ca.us); Erik Justesen; Allen Root; Brett Cross; Susan Devine; Allan Cooper; akaloveyl@gmail.com; bettyslo@charter.net; ddollar@gmail.com; dhafemei@caipoly.edu; dhinz805@charter.net; eagiesage@aol.com; greg@gregwynn.com; ke6hng@att.net; marshalilly35@yahoo.com; plhousemann@hotmail.com; rcruiksh@calpoly.edu; solutions-mm@thegrid.net Subject: Thanks for your input Thank you for contacting the San Luis Obispo City Council in support of one of the three candidates for the current vacancy - or perhaps in opposition. You are one of dozens of citizens who have done so. In many cases, comments have centered on criticism of the provisions of the City Charter that imposes this responsibility on the Council. Let me assure everyone that I have not made up my mind at this point as to which of the three candidates are best qualified for this position.To my knowledge (and because of the Brown Act, I have very limited knowledge), none of my colleagues have committed in support of any individual candidate. Nor should we, if we are to respect the spirit of our Council policies and procedures. You can be sure that I will carefully consider all factors involved in this decision, and I will give due consideration to the input of all citizens who have contacted us, including those who will speak on Tuesday evening. I will ultimately make my own decision only after all testimony and evidence have been provided, and in deliberation with my colleagues. As to the process set forth in the Charter, it has served the City well in the past. Good people have been selected, and the City has benefitted from their service. If anybody wishes to place an amendment to our charter to modify this system, I will consider that proposal with an open mind. As of now, however, this process is what we are required to observe, and I'll do my best to discharge my duty. Among those duties is the need to maintain an open mind through and including the public hearing. Additionally, let me assure you that the main factor that I will use in making this decision is NOT my own individual assessment of which candidate comes closest to my own political views, but rather which candidate would best help the Council to reflect the diverse interests of our community. I know all of the candidates and have had productive conversations with each. I would also hope that none of the candidates are subject to any unwarranted personal attacks, although I have no control over this. Anyone who puts their "hat in the ring" for a Council office must be ready to be criticized. We will be successful in this process if, when it is concluded, the following can be said by those who observe the testimony, the deliberations, and the vote: The Council was fair to all concerned; they sincerely considered the best interests of the entire community; and they carefully weighed the relative contributions that each candidate can make to the collaborative process that we have come to expect from our Council If you wish to discuss further the process, or any individual candidate, please feel free to call or write to me. Thanks again for your interest. Sincerely, John B.

From: Sandra Rowley [mailto:macsar99@yahoo.com] Sent: Tuesday, December 21, 2010 2:15 PM To: Jan Marx; Carter, Andrew; Ashbaugh,John; Smith, Kathy Cc: Gchtig, Katie Subject: Appointment of Council Member Dear Ms. Mayor and Members of the Council, I support Dan Carpenter to fill the vacant council position. The fact that he was born and raised in San Luis Obispo and has lived most of his life here gives him a unique and useful understanding of the city that I think will be a valuable addition to the council. Dan was a long-time businessman here and can speak to the pros and cons of running a business in our city from personal experience. Another valuable asset for the council. As a resident he has, on occasion, had to deal with the consequences of alcohol-fueled youth heading home from the downtown bars. Dan has an interest in city government that he demonstrates by serving on the Cultural Heritage Commission, attending council meetings and "auditing" classes taught by staff during/for the city manager's Financial Sustainability Task Force. I strongly recommend him to fill this position. Sandra Rowley Resident, SLO December 21 , 2010 City Council of San Luis Obispo Please do not consider Kevin P. Rice as a viable candidate. Rice's December 2010 application for an appointment to the city council of San Luis Obispo says he has been employed as a firefighter for fifteen years. However, in 2006 he said he was self-employed and pleads financial hardship to get out of paying a parking fine to the City of San Luis Obispo. See attached. l f p1111Il1111 / dUL 21. 2006 .

Patty Andreen would make an ideal city councilwoman due to her experience and personal characteristics. We served together on the San Luis Coastal Unified Schools Board of Education, where she was an intelligent and thoughtful consensus builder. These skills were critical in our ability to cut 10% from our 60 million dollar budget, and would be important in the city's struggle to close a 2 million dollar budget shortfall. Ms. Andreen was instrumental in developing an excellent relationship with the four school district bargaining groups. An ability to have fruitful labor negotiations will be essential in resolving the city's difficulties. _i She also skillfully communicated to the public the hard choices made by our board. Patty Andreen is well known to voters in the city of San Luis Obispo, having been elected to the school board in 2000 and nearly elected as a county supervisor in 2004. Difficult choices need to be made, and Ms. Andreen has the analytical, cooperative, and communicative skills combined with the experience to deal with the serious situation facing the city of San Luis Obispo.

Dear Councilmembers: Patty Andreen, a friend and former school board colleague of mine, is applying for city council. She did not run for office herself in this last election. I saw her work very hard helping others with their campaigns--including myself and other people at all levels of government. Patty is someone I would want.with me on a long trek across the desert or frozen tundra. She would come up with innovative ways to help us reach our goals. In the meantime we would also laugh while making the best of whatever hard times came our way. I do not vote in San Luis Obispo so maybe my opinion does not matter as much. I thought you might want to hear from someone who really knows her that Patty would be a great asset to the council. When I joined the school board, it was my first public position, and Patty served as my mentor. I Teamed from her how to work in a collaborative manner and to work for the greater good regardless of personalities. The city would benefit from her experience and wisdom if she is appointed to the council.

As a long time local business owner in San Luis Obispo and concerned member of this community, it is my hope that you will choose Dan Carpenter to fill the City Council vacancy because I believe he will make a wonderful advocate for the community that I love so dearly. Dan Carpenter has roots that run deep in this community and he has already proven himself as an advocate while.serving on the Cultural Heritage Committee as well as his previous work on the Planning Commission and the SLO Historical Society. Dan Carpenter has not only a great relationship with many in our community but he also has a great knowledge of local business and finance and in these tough economic times, someone with his knowledge should be a welcome addition to the current City Council.The closely run race makes it apparent to me that many other people of this community will agree with me on the appointment of Dan Carpenter for City Council.

Jobs well-done! I am requesting you to appoint Dan Carpenter to the vacated seat. I believe that it is in the best interest of the City to appoint someone who ran for the position, put himself out there, and put in the effort that it takes to run a campaign. He wanted it enough to run..,not to sit out and get appointed. You (as well 1) know the rigors of campaigning. It's not easy and can get very personal. 1 don't believe that another should be appointed justbecause they didn't want to campaign. Dan came in a close 3rd and he should be allowed to serve the 2-year term. There are many issues in the city(budget, housing, attracting industy and employment). Please don't waste the time that we need you to work for us by dealing with this issue any longer. As Jan said, the campaigns are over...let's get to work..

We are of the opinion that this seat should go to the candidate with the next most votes, this being Dan Carpenter. It only makes sense to us that the voters of this City should be acknowledged by selecting the candidate of their choice. Dan Carpenter is a thoughtful, devoted and proven hard worker for this city. His record on the CHC speaks to his commitment to SLO city and we think that he has proven himself by running a clean campaign and attending nearly every important city meeting. We strongly urge the appointment of Dan Carpenter to the now vacant city council person seat. Very truly yours, Jim and Diane Duenow I I council mcmoRAnaum December 9, 2010 RECEIVED TO: City Council DEC 0 9 2010 FROM: Chris Judge, Deputy City Clerk SLO CITY CLERK SUBJECT: Website Posting Request On Wednesday, December 8, 2010, the City Clerk's Office received a telephone call from Council appointment applicant Dan Carpenter. He requested that a letter sent by Cultural Heritage Commission members to Council on November 23, 2010 be post on the City's website along with other additional correspondence relating to the December 21, 2010 Council Meeting. In accordance with this request, I have attached the letter in question, and this memo will be posted on the Clerk's Office website along with other correspondence related to the appointment of the fifth Council Member. T:\Council Memos\Council Memo—Posting Additional Corrtespondence.doc. RECEIVED NOV 2 3 2010 SLO CITY CLERK November 22,2010 City Council City of San Luis Obispo Dear San Louis Obispo Council Members: As you deliberate on the choice of an appropriate individual to assume the council seat to be vacated by Jan Marx's assumption of the position of Mayor we the _members of the SLO Cultural Heritage Committee (CHC) would like to bring to your attention the committee's assessment of Dan Carpenter,a potential candidate for this appointment Dan was a member of the CHC for a term in the early 2000's was reappointed back in April 2009. He has provided leadership to its deliberations as Chair since April 2010. In this role he has been attentive to community concerns of a variety of issues that have come before the committee,has provided the direction and leadership to CHC as they deliberated on the Historic Preservation ordinance and guidelines,an important step to the city becoming eligible for federal preservation funds. Dan's leadership of the CHC and his demeanor towards the members has been inclusive,supportive and allowing good participation. He has helped three new members who have joined the committee during his chairmanship. His claims to the appointed seat on the SLO commission seems to us to be strengthened by the fact that Dan did run for the office,garnered a substantial number of votes (loosing by a mere 225 votes). We are impressed by the fact that Dan ran his campaign grass-roots,with little emphasis on raising funds but rather, working on face-to-face,door-to-door solicitation of support This seems to be appropriate for SLO where we value the immediacy of local democracy. We hope these factors can be taken into your consideration when making this important appointment. Sincerely CHC committee m tubers From: Kevin P.

I welcome the new energy and ideas that you will bring to our city as mayor and I wish you the best in your new role. Your elevation to mayor though leaves a hole that I would like to see filled by Dan Carpenter. As a local architect, I have seen Dan in action as chair of your Cultural Heritage Committee (CHC). He is consistently calm in demeanor, a Listener of all views, an accomplished mediator, and a fair judge of projects that come before him. His leadership toward creating the new Historical Ordinance and Guidelines was exceptional. Dan has a background in San Luis Obispo that the council needs. His knowledge of the city is great; he has seen our city evolve over time and he is willing to put in the time and effort to make our city even better. I often see him in the morning walking through the town, observing and enjoying those elements that make our city unique. He truly is "of the town". With such a small percentage of cast votes separating Council Member Smith and Dan Carpenter in the election, it is clear the citizens of San Luis Obispo have embraced Dan as ready to lead as an equal member of the council. It is my hope that the new council will recognize his local support and appoint him to the position. Again congratulations and thank you for your time, `oe Se Gregory D.

During his campaign, Dan openly and candidly expressed his opinions and views so that voters could make an informed decision. As a result, he received over 5,100 votes (only 1% less votes than Kathy Smith) . Appointing an applicant who did not run for the position in the November election, and who has not made known his or her views on important city issues, would disenfranchise and frustrate many of the voters of this community. Dan has been a dedicated citizen of SLO with impressive, well-rounded qualifications serving on many local boards, committees, and commissions and has had extensive experience in business management. He is well respected and is considerate and respectful of others. He will be a valuable addition to our Council and I believe has earned the opportunity to serve our city: Thank you for your attention.

The City of San Luis Obispo is uniquely situated to form a strong city council to make long-term decisions that could make future governance less burdensome for taxpayers and council members alike. I strongly endorse the appointment of Patricia Andreen to the existing City Council vacancy. I have known Mrs. Andreen for about a dozen years, and served on the Superintendent's Advisory Committee for the San Luis Coastal Unified School District, when she was the governing board contact member for that committee. I also served as her campaign treasurer when she ran for the San Luis Obispo County Board of Supervisors in 2004. 1 have always found her to be thoughtful, open-minded and wise on public policy issues. She also has an excellent background for solving fiscal problems, as her time as a school board member involved a significant reduction in the San Luis Coastal Unified School District expenditure plan. She was a leading coalition builder and problem solver in this painful process. Although I still. am employed in Sacramento, I have lived in San Luis Obispo for the past dozen years. My employment for the past 40+ years has been as a state budget ana!yst, an education consultant to the Legislature and an education lobbyist, all dealing primarily with school finance issues. I'm sure you have other good candidates for the vacancy on the Board and many factors will formulate your choice. However I doubt that you could find a better or more appropriate candidate than Patty Andreen. Sincerely.----, Paul H.

VIA: Katie Lichtig, City Manage a MEM- SUBJECT: Clarification to the Appointment Pr ss to Fill a Council Vacancy On December 1, 2010, Council adopted a process to fill a vacancy on the Council. That process included the option that individual .council members would have the option of recommending up to three applicants to fill the vacant Council position as so stated in the excerpt below. "...In a straw vote, each council member will announce and the City Clerk will record a list of up to three applicants that they can support, in alphabetical order. If 3 or more council members name the same applicant and only one applicant receives 3 straw votes, then the Mayor will call for a motion to appoint that person.. If more than one applicant receives 3 or more votes, then these applicants should be further discussed until an appointment is made (either via more straw votes of a favored applicant from each council member or consensus from deliberations, the method to be determined at the special meeting). If no candidate gets 3 or more votes, then the council can expand the list by engaging in additional rounds of listing applicants. Any applicants identified in the first round would continue to be considered if there are two or more straw votes in his or her favor. At any time during the straw vote process a council member could change his or her mind regarding an acceptable applicant and express support for any applicant. Motions could be made in favor of any at any time." Emphasis is added above to clarify that Council Members are.not required to list more than one applicant. Contrary to the agenda report for this item, Council Members will provide the names of the applicants they can support in alphabetical order rather than by rank or preference. The City Council should use the process described above, and agreed to during the public hearing on December 1st, rather than the process included in the agenda report. During the presentation on December 21st, staff will provide a brief presentation outlining this Council-approved process.

It may be accessed on-line at: htto://www.newtimesslo.com/shredder/5389/stacking-the-odds/ Its contents is important enough that I have cut-and-pasted it verbatim below for your convenience. Please carefully consider its message before appointing the next councilperson. Respectfully submitted; Patricia L. Housemann San Luis Obispo, CA "Stacking the odds I'm not a big gambler—never have been, never will be.There's something nauseating about choking on exhaled cigarette smoke while mindlessly pulling at a slot machine lever,which somehow always reminds me of a monkey playing with himself.And if I wanted to watch things race in elliptical patterns while rednecks tum into raving lunatics, I'd just watch Nascar or something less boring, like curling or C-SPAN. Since I don't gamble, I have trouble with the lingo. It's all Greek to me,or English even. What's the word for someone who hasn't yet mastered their native language? One phrase I do know is hedging your bet. Hedging is a clever strategy in most circumstances—it helps even the odds and stick it to the house. When you're in public service, however, it's a selfish, petty thing to do. In that case, the public ends up being the house. It's human nature to look out for oneself.The smart man finds a new job before he quits his current post.The smart city councilwoman—say, Mayor Jan Marx,for example—doesn't dump her seat until she's planted her tuchus in a new one. Marx didn't relinquish her City Council seat when she ran for mayor because lawyers like her apparently don't make enough money and need the piddly government stipend to afford another month's worth of liver and lima beans. Her actions weren!terribly in the spirit of selfless public service, but weren't all that surprising, either..Anyone who spends more than five minutes watching an elected official speak can see that visions of ticker-tape parades and executive bathrooms with gilded thrones are dancing in their heads. And no, I'm not just bitter that I haven't been accepted as a potential appointee. Rather than spread her cheeks across two seats, Marx could have dumped the council seat, opened it for the election, and still taken a stab at the mayor slot. But she didn't do that. Now we have a seat that's up in the air to be decided by a slim majority of the City Council, who might just appoint one of her buddies because they're as gutless as she is selfish, at least in this case. I know, I know. Other people have held a death grip on council seats while they chased a mayor slot. It's just that this time the end result kind of sucks. Had Manx done the noble thing,current applicant and former candidate Dan Carpenter would have won. He came in third place in this election,just barely losing to Kathy Smith. Had there been three open seats and three top vote getters ... you do.the math. It'll be interesting come Dec.21 to watch Marx and Smith squirm over this appointment.Aside from Carpenter—and this Kevin Rice guy who won't be appointed in this millennium—there's this woman by the name of Patricia Andreen.She's basically got two votes in the bag.Aside from contributing to the Marx and Smith campaigns,Andreen helped organize a campaign mixer and shindig for Manx. She and Marx even co-hosted a documentary screening.That's like a Tupperware party for politician- types, but somehow more white and.boring. Did I hear someone say BFFs forever? Marx and Andreen seem to be buddies through and through. Hell, Andreen knows this. If you read her application form, she knows her biggest challenge will be overcoming the logical choice to appoint Carpenter and recognize the 5,161 votes he won, not to mention the massive amount of community support he's received compared to her thimbleful of praise.Just read her application: "Some say this choice for council is`easy.' I hope, as leaders,you're looking for the strongest partner for the work ahead—not the easiest choice." By"easiest choice,"she means Carpenter, and by"strongest partner,"she means biggest ass kisser. "Previous exposure to the electorate is not a prerequisite,"she goes on."However, I received 49 percent of the votes for supervisor,winning in SLO City precincts." Let me get this straight, Pat. You're trying to unload a four-door Radio Flyer wagon—ordinarily I'd say bus, but it is the holidays—of horse manure that political experience isn't a requirement for this seat,but you're pointing out that you ran for and lost another election? In other words,you're saying that experience isn't necessary,but if it were,you've got.just as much experience ataosing as this Carpenter dweeb,even if it was for another office. This whole thing just reeks of cronyism, nepotism, and a few other isms there aren't words for yet. Is suck-it-ism a word? I'm not about to blow the conspiracy whistle yet, but come on. It looks pretty god- awful. • Marx runs for mayor, keeps council seat, otherwise Carpenter would have won. •The council opts to appoint the seat rather than hold an election. •Andreen throws in her hat, knowing she already has two buddies and only needs three votes. But no,really,go ahead and appoint Andreen. I dare you. It'll give me something to write about next week,and 5,161 torches a reason to be lit.Though I might just be overly sensitive.After all,this is an appointment process, not a popularity contest. That would be an election." From: Patricia L.

It's now clear that one of the reasons Jan Marx did not vacate her former SLO City Council seat is because she intends to orchestrate the appointment of her friend, campaign worker, benefactor and fellow Democratic Central Committee (DCC) member Patty Andreen to her former council seat. Marx, Andreen and the rest of their fellow DCC accomplices should be ashamed for trying to manipulate who represents SLO residents in such a sleazy and underhanded manner. This whole scheme is a product of the DCC making local politics so partisan. We deserve better and so does our beloved City. Sincerely; Patricia L.

Frequently such endorsements come from the outside looking in on a candidate's qualifications. I have had the pleasure of working directly for Ms Andreen during the many years she served on the San Luis Coastal School District Board. During those years, Ms Andreen faced some of the most difficult challenges encountered by our school district- the reduction of funding, the closing of schools, and the reconstitution of the administrative team. Ms Andreen's openness to community input, disciplined exploration of alternatives and skillful leadership in framing and guiding difficult decisions were remarkable.Nobody enjoyed what needed to be done, but there was consensus respect for the process by which the public's business was handled. A circumstance full of the potential for fragmentation and division became a model for public decision-making. Ms Andreen will bring that same intelligence and heart to our city, which faces similar challenges in the months and years ahead.

Ms. Andreen is an active member of the DCC and clearly a close friend of Mayor Marx who is also active with the DCC: Ms. Andreen was heavily involved with Mayor Marx's latest campaign where she also made monetary contributions. Are the voters really supposed to believe that Ms. Andreen and Mayor Marx did not discuss a future city council appointment for Ms. Andreen before Ms. Marx decided not to vacate her council seat before running for mayor? We also know from a recent newpaper article http://www.sanluisobispo.com/2010/12/16/1411777/protest-not-change-marks- council.html that former SLO Mayor/Councilman and DCC member Allen Settle encouraged Andreen to apply. Given their mutual DCCaffiliation are we truly to believe they did not conspire (possibly with others) to ensure that a DCC-approved applicant in the form of Ms. Andreen would be the next appointment to the SLO City Council? As a lifelong Democrat I am concerned that Settle, Marx, Ashbaugh, Carter, Smith and Andreen are all active members of the Democratic Central Committee. In no way does that accurately reflect the SLO electorate. Something is wrong. From the outside looking in it appears that some collusive behavior is taking place and I fear what it could do to San Luis Obispo and my chosen political party. There is absolutely no way that Ms. Andreen should have applied for this appointment given her close relationship with members of the SLO City 1 Council and her contributions of time and money. There is a clear conflict of interest. A moral if not legal conflict of interest. I hope you all understand how this looks to the voters -- particularly those that did not vote for Carter or Smith.

She is a a very thorough person and closely examines all issues before making a judgement or taking a position. She was, as a result, highly regarded in the educational community when she served on the San Luis Coastal Board of Trustees. She also has a marvelous sense of humor and makes the most difficult of situations manageable with her quick wit and sharp intellect. She has sound values and a heart of gold.

Short of holding a special election,this is the only right thing to do if the voters of San Luis Obispo are to be heard. Dan is the only one of the announced candidates who actually put his name before the voters in our recent election and publicly ran for this council seat. Dan spent.his own precious time and money since July attending public forums and walking precincts to meet the electorate and listen to their concerns. He narrowly missed being elected in November, finishing a mere 229 votes shy of being elected outright, and he received nearly double the votes of his closest contender. Dan is an SLO native,has a business degree,has spent over 30 years managing various businesses, is currently the Finance Director for the History Center of SLO County,and has served three appointments to city advisory bodies spanning the past 7 years. He has received the accolades and endorsements of numerous city residents and of those who have served on city advisory bodies with him through many years and thus know of his passion, dedication,and abilities. He is most qualified and would bring the council valuable experience and insight which is desperately needed in these financially troubling times. Dan has clearly demonstrated his desire and willingness to serve as council member and he has the support of the voters of San Luis Obispo. He deserves your support as well. Please listen to the 5,161 voters who supported Dan in the election and to the overwhelming majority of those who have spoken in his behalf in recent letters sent to the council as well.

What follows is the conversation asIheard it built around core questions. RE: qualities and values most important for a public servant . . . 1. Communication is viewed by Patty as a top skill, building positive avenues with public, Council and City staff. With levels and groups diverse, time available is critical in grocery stores, writing letters - dealing with hopes, fears, needs. With Council, understanding each is different - make a braid, weaving strengths, building trust. Ask questions of staff, recognizing knowledge & building confidence with the public. 2. Big Picture and Long-Term Vision illustrates the policy focus of Council effort. While it is tempting to micro-manage (in school board experience), not the function of elected leadership. 3. Acting for Good of the Whole requires building trust as all staffers are encouraged to share sacrifices. Some staff might have a sense of entitlement/have vested rights/contracts. Biggest challenges as change is inevitable.. . . no one is special. RE: Life Experience and having "lived out" her values . . . Service as a School Board member: Superintendent was mentor who asked questions that made her think. Was given dictum "don't close schools": building an organization that stands together, was Board Chair when there was a 10% budget cut - $6 million. Amazing Board was cautious (previously cantankerous), built communication and was unified on cuts . . . had a common goal built through interactive process. Patty learned much about the decision to NOT close Hawthorne School while merging students at Teach and Bishop's Peak . . . and closing Pacheco. RE: Important issues she views for Council action . . . 1. Budget Priorities: Bringing pension into line, considering 3% increase anticipated via PERS and 49% of City staff close to retirement in the next five years. Need to replace with two-tier system. Another big concern . . . Measure Y, up for renewal 2014. 2. Look at revenue sources, firm them up: Essential Measure Y approval detailing more than infrastructure, creek enhancement, nuts and bolts focus. Need to go back to voters in 4 years, begin strategy now. 3. Planning - Update Land Use & Circulation Elements: In Circulation element consider pedestrians, bicycles as well as cars. Begin concerted effort to identify neighborhoods . . . can shore up transportation, cultural aspects of community living. Each neighborhood can identify with spirit of diverse mix. Patty sees her budget perspective and comprehensive depth of experience as a strong asset. Her relationship to braiding values/action synthesizes significant results. I offered to share this narrative with her before distributing to allow her to comment. She indicated she would appreciate same . . . Dan Carpenter. . . 2 p.m. to 3 p.m., Friday, December 17, 2010 City Hall Conference.Room Dan brought a written document answering the questions he received in advance. What follows is the conversation as I heard it built around the core questions and his prepared document. RE: qualities and values most important for a public servant . . . 1. Integrity is viewed by Dan as the moral and ethical standards that one adheres to that also reflect his treatment of other people. The standards indicate his church/spiritual life, his service as a city representative on commissions and his dedication to family. 2. Transparency is his openness about how he processes issues and concerns. 3. Availability is critical to his commitment as a public servant. He noted his telephone # appearing on his campaign yard signs, his being fully attentive at Council meetings and encouraging residents to call him at home. RE: Life experience and having"lived out" his values . . . "As a leader in my family, church, workplace and volunteer organizations, I treat every human being with the highest level of dignity and compassion. I'm committed to a honest offering of openness and availability, even when circumstances are not convenient." We talked about his service with People's Kitchen and Prado Day Center and his treatment of homeless recipients with respect - as an equal. RE: Important issues he views for Council Action . . . 1. "Bring staff salaries and pensions into line with economic constraints." Dan feels we need to negotiate salaries at a more reasonable level, in line with community wages. 2. "Restore neighborhood wellness." Dan views this as a mix of people who work together and respect each other . . . an increased sense of community with a healthy diversity. He has a concern about excessive abuse of personal property that exists in areas historically fraught with student/family lifestyle differences. 3. "Provide an environment for economic development of businesses that nurture head of household jobs." Dan sees fiscal health as a major priority. As an addendum, Dan & I discussed Council culture and the management of Council sessions. Dan described his style/communication as direct and concise. I offered to share this narrative with him before distributing to allow him to comment. He indicated he would appreciate same . . . Kevin P. Rice . . . 2:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m., Wednesday, December 15, 2010 City Hall Conference Room Kevin noted that his application for City Council appointment was a statement to call attention to voters who support a democratic electorate process. RE: qualities and values most important for a public servant . . . 1. Integrity/Honesty - serving the people with no other interests, a strong component of values from constituents. 2. Capacity/Intelligence - a person who can understand issues, is up-to- speed on current City concerns and votes on information/materials as they are presented. One needs to be mentally astute and capable. 3. Team-builder/consensus - One who can acquiesce . . . be able to compromise in deliberations and acknowledge the other sides point of view. RE: Life experience and having "lived out" his values . . . All of the above qualities are components of Kevin's profession as a Fire Fighter. They are core values. Firefighters go into individual homes during a fire and are trusted to be honest about home and personal belongings. Each must have the honesty to acknowledge mistakes to achieve the team- building required during fire and emergency medical runs. Consensus in operative procedures is critical. Five or six members are in each engine company. . . they live together. . . accept diversity of personal habits, clean up, do dishes, etc. RE: Important issues he views for Council action . . . 1. Budget - Council needs to be pro-active with public to put Binding Arbitration up to the voters in conjunction with Measure Y. Not sure many understood the black & white nature of Binding Arbitration. Council should check temperature of the public. 2. Place Citizens/Taxpayers in priority position. Focus on findings of the Fiscal Task Force, working with the Dalidio to develop within city limits. Agrees with the sentiment of the fee initiative proposed by the Property Owners' Assn. Feels no one in SLO should make more than the California Governor - Jerry Brown - making $187,000 per year. City Manager's salary is considered excessive. Pay attention to public services ie transit and the Advisory Committees. 3. Kevin's top priority is to amend Charter Section#406 that speaks to the appointment to Council vacancies. Kevin feels his qualifications/resume are strong enough for Council appointment. He attends many governmental meetings in SLO and other cities. When offered an opportunity to review the narrative, Kevin indicated he was comfortable not doing so. RECEIVED DEC 2 0 2010 Letter to the Editor December 2, 2010 SLO CITY CLERK Regarding the article titled, "It's Time to Stand Behind Jan Marx" (December 1): We couldn't agree more. Had Ms. Marx given up her council seat and not been elected mayor, the city would have lost a smart, capable, dedicated public servant. Her replacement is equally critical to the composition of the council and the future of San Luis Obispo. We trust that the council will use their independent judgment to make the best choice for our fair city but we believe the community is best served by appointing attorney Patty Andreen. Andreen has both knowledge of the law and familiarity with the budget process. During her tenure as a SLCUSD trustee, she sought solutions that were grounded in sound fiscal sense as the board deftly navigated $10 million budget cuts. She is no stranger to voters either having been elected to the school board to represent SLO as well as garnering 49.03% of the vote when she ran for 3rd district supervisor. Andreen is a coalition builder and a constructive force who consistently displays grace and wit under pressure -- rare and precious commodities.

Is this not an affront to democracy? Given this undemocratic situation the only fair and just course of action for the council is to appoint the candidate with the next highest votes in the last election, Dan Carpenter.

Unlike the indisputable results of an ELECTION, appointments open up potential pitfalls that may become subject to later dispute. I have not yet had opportunity to review the Dec. I council meeting video (no minutes are available yet), however I have noticed potential irregularities: (1) Councilman Ashbaugh, on Dec. 1, voiced concerns over some sort of voting ambiguity that might occur which I am unable to recall without reviewing the video. His concern was not addressed as the meeting was rushed to adjournment. (2) A Dec. 16 memo (via Katie Lichtig) alters the process outlined by the City Clerk's staff report. (3) I spoke with city staff last week who were unable to convey a concrete picture of how the process will occur when pressed for specific details. The Clerk's staff report details a "ranked" voting procedure which is completely contrary to the procedure outlined on page 1 of the staff report in the Dec. 16 memo. (4) There appear to be numerous possible ambiguous circumstances that are unaddressed by the procedure published. If one of these pitfalls occurs, I see no legitimate means to resolving circumstances not already addressed in the Dec. 1 procedure. (5) Even matters as simple as the order in which applicants speak may become subject to later "fairness" complaints. I am highly concerned that if dispute or disparity occurs not addressed by published procedure--or, is resolved via a "seat-of-the-pants" action by the council--the ensuring appointment could be vulnerable to quo warranto via the State Attorney General. Short of that, certain public disparagement of the process and voter disenfranchisement will ensue. I strongly encourage staff and Council to scrutinize the process before tomorrow's hearing to ensure ambiguities are identified. However, it may be too late for corrections as the Dec. 1 procedure was already voted upon. In any case, let's make sure everyone has the same understanding of the process before it begins. Alternatively, the Council could choose not to appoint and defer to an ELECTION of the People--which is indisputable. Kevin P.

As he actively campaigned for the position during the last election AND took the 3rd highest number of votes from the residents, it.stands to reason he should be awarded the seat recently vacated by Ms. Marx. The reasoning of course is that had the seat been open prior to Ms. Marx running for office, he would have won it outright. Any other decision would appear unfair, smack of favoritism and most certainly result in negative press possibly even at the national level. Now is NOT the time to engender additional distrust of government or further sully the impression of California's leadership in the eyes of the country by appearing biased and voting against the intention of the residents. Again, had the seat been vacated, he would have been fairly VOTED in to city council. Do the right thing and appoint him in your next meeting. Regards, Shawn McNabb From: Kevin P.

Patty Andreen would make an ideal city councilwoman due to her experience and personal characteristics. We served together on the San Luis Coastal Unified Schools Board of Education, where she was an intelligent and thoughtful consensus builder. These skills were critical in our ability to cut 10% from our 60 million dollar budget, and would be important in the city's struggle to close a 2 million dollar budget shortfall. Ms. Andreen was instrumental in developing an excellent relationship with the four school district bargaining groups. An ability to have fruitful labor negotiations will be essential in resolving the city's difficulties. She also skillfully communicated to the public the hard choices made by our board. Patty Andreen is well known to voters in the city of San Luis Obispo, having been elected to the school board in 2000 and nearly elected as a county supervisor in 2004. Difficult choices need to be made, and Ms. Andreen has the analytical, cooperative, and communicative skills combined with the experience to deal with the serious situation facing the city of San Luis Obispo.

Plus, we have a bail- off plan that takes about eight seconds and is safe in tunnels and we conduct a safety briefing with all passengers. Over 200 miles logged, no incidents.

We are of the opinion that this seat should go to the candidate with the next most votes, this being Dan Carpenter.

His record on the CHC speaks to his commitment to SLO city and we think that he has proven himself by running a clean campaign and attending nearly every important city meeting.

RECEIVED NOV 2 31010 SLO CITY CLERK November 22, 2010 City Council City of San Luis Obispo Dear San Louis Obispo Council Members: As you deliberate on the choice of an appropriate individual to assume the council seat to be vacated by Jan Marx's assumption of the position of Mayor we the members of the SLO Cultural Heritage Committee (CHC) would like to bring to your attention the committee's assessment of Dan Carpenter,a potential candidate for this appointment Dan was a member of the CHC for a term in the early 2000's was reappointed back in April 2009. He has provided leadership to its deliberations as Chair since April 2010. In this role he has been attentive to community concerns of a variety of issues that have come before the committee,has provided the direction and leadership to CHC as they deliberated on the Historic Preservation ordinance and guidelines,an important step to the city becoming eligible for federal preservation funds. Dan's leadership of the CHC and his demeanor towards the members has been inclusive,supportive and allowing good participation. He has helped three new members who have joined the committee during his chairmanship. His claims to the appointed seat on the SLO commission seems to us to be strengthened by the fact that Dan did run for the office,garnered a substantial number of votes (loosing by a mere 225 votes). We are impressed by the fact that Dan ran his campaign grass-roots,with little emphasis on raising funds but rather, working on face-to-face,door-to-door solicitation of support This seems to be appropriate for SLO where we value the immediacy of local democracy. We hope these factors can be taken into your consideration when making this important appointment.

Dan Carpenter said that he would only spend $1000 on his campaign and he should be praised and emulated for. this. When I think about the hundreds of millions of dollars that are spent: on American political campaigns) I wonder how many homeless people that- money could have helped and how many poor people that money would have fed. Dan Carpenter is extremely well qualified to be the 5th council- person and I urge all of you to appoint him unanimously. Sincerely, wY n DECEIVED architect architecture-planning DEC. 13 1010 9 December 2010 SLO CITY CLERK. Mayor Jan Marx City of San Luis Obispo 990 Palm Street San Luis Obispo, CA 93401 RE: Council Appointment of Dan Carpenter Mayor Marx, First off, congratulations on your election as mayor of San Luis Obispo. I welcome the new energy and ideas that you will bring to our city as mayor and I wish you the best in your new role. Your elevation to mayor though leaves a hole that I would like to see filled by Dan Carpenter. As a.local architect, I have seen Dan in action as chair of your Cultural Heritage Committee (CHC). He is consistently calm in demeanor, a listener of all views, an accomplished mediator, and a fair judge of projects that come before him. His leadership toward creating the new Historical Ordinance and Guidelines was exceptional. Dan has a background in San Luis Obispo that the council needs. His knowledge of the city is great; he has seen our city evolve over time and he is willing to put in the time and effort to make our city even better. I often see him in the morning walking through the town, observing and enjoying those elements that make our city unique. He truly its "of the town". With such a small percentage of cast votes separating Council Member Smith and Dan Carpenter in the election, it is clear the citizens of San Luis Obispo have embraced Dan as ready to lead as an equal member of the council. It is my hope that the new council will recognize his local support and appoint him to the position. Again congratulations and thank you for your time, Gregory D.

But in politics,"appearances"are everything. Don't let one of your first votes as a Council appear to be an act of"cronyism".Without speaking to the qualifications of either candidate,both Andrea Miller and Paul Brown testified during a recent public hearing in favor of selecting Dan Carpenter simply because this was the "right thing to do". Dave Congalton spoke for 15 minutes on a recent radio broadcast favoring selecting Dan Carpenter.And numerous letters to the editor of the Tribune have recommended Dan Carpenter to fill the vacant Council seat.The only letter indirectly in support of Patty Andreen which has been published over the past several weeks was submitted by Patty Andreen. I say"indirectly", because Patty's letter primarily addressed support for the appointment process.She did not explicitly support her own candidacy..But contrary to Patty's suggestion that Dan Carpenter was the"loser"in this past election, Dan Carpenter is clearly the"runner-up". And,in the worst case scenario,your decision to appoint someone other than Dan Carpenter could result in a voter referendum that the City can ill afford.
