Dear Mayor and Council Members,
FEB 0 Y 2013
SLQ CITY CLERK
AGENDA
CORRESPONDENCE
Dated --)d
I am sad to hear of Andrew Carter's leaving the City Council, but I certainly can understand why he is doing it, and I wish
him good luck in his new career.
I am also very concerned about the lack of truly competent candidates to replace Andrew. By competent, I mean
someone who has knowledge of City government, experience in related fields, and who has demonstrated serious
interest in the City by attending City Council meetings. Among all the candidates, only Kevin Rice has regularly attended
these meetings. Paul Brown and Andrea Miller have links to alcohol outlets, which are destroying our downtown, and
Jeff Arranguena and Amy Kardel have no experience whatsoever. The amazing part about Jeff Arranguena is that he ran
for City Council, but has not attended any of the Council meetings ever since. In view of his lack of knowledge on these
�ters, it is worrisome that he is not more curious.
Therefore, I urge you to name Kevin Rice, because he is the only one with knowledge of City Government and interest in
the City.
