DISCUSSION On August 18, 1998, the City Council adopted a process for making an appointment to the City Council to fill an unexpired term created by the resignation of Kathy Smith. At that time, a public hearing was set for September 8, 1998 to consider applicants to this position. During the week of August 24" the City Clerk received statements from nine citizens requesting appointment to this unexpired term which ends on December 1, 2000. They are: Barry Karleskint Evelyn DelMartini Mary Ellen Gibson Kenneth Schwartz Sally Stoner Charlie Senn Lark Jursek Orval Osborne Christine Mulholland The applicants are listed above in the order of the randomized alphabet drawn by the Secretary of State on August 13, 1998. This is the order in which each will be asked to address the Council for five minutes stating their willingness to serve and presenting their qualifications. The Council may ask questions of the candidates at this time. After the applicants have spoken, each Council Member will be asked to circle three names on a transparency containing the names of the nine applicants. The transparencies will then be placed on the overhead and the City Clerk will tally the votes. The name of the candidate receiving the most votes will be nominated and a vote taken. If this motion carries, the council will take a separate vote on a resolution making the appointment. Council Agenda Report—Appointment to Council Vacancy Page 2 In the event the Council cannot reach agreement on an appointment, the item may be continued throughout the month of September. If no appointment has been made by September 30th, Council must call a special election to be held in January, 1999. FISCAL IMPACT If the Council makes an appointment to fill this vacancy, the fiscal impact would be minimal. However, a special election, whether conducted for the City by the County Elections Division or an election contractor, is estimated to cost from $65,000 to $75,000.

The university presence provides an academic vitality that is unique. Our geographic location creates a tourist destination of spectacular beauty and hospitality. As the county seat the city is a place of governance, a dynamic downtown business sector, and the hub of social services and non-profit agencies that work collectively to meet the needs of a growing and diverse population. The task of the city council is to marshal the energy and the resources that surround us to continue the legacy of environmental quality and business vitality that together make San Luis Obispo a very special place. The city is facing significant challenges. Water resources, traffic issues, road quality, parking, and the protection of our unique neighborhoods compel thoughtful thinking and careful planning. The question at hand relates to our future. What kind of city will we be? I moved to San Luis Obispo In 1974. 1 have served as chair of the city's Human Relations Commission and have worked at Cal Poly, as a local banker, and for a non-profit agency. These perspectives meld to give me a balanced and diverse perspective regarding our city's needs. Please accept this as my application for the council position vacated by Kathy Smith.

We have had a family vacation scheduled in northern Canada for several months and will not return until September 11th. Consequently I will be unable to attend the September 8thmeeting. Derek Senn, my oldest son, will appear on my behalf and hopefully answer any questions or concerns you may have. There is no phone where we will be on vacation but I will have periodic access to a fax machine. If you need to reach me please contact Alison Burton at my office: 781-6116. Thanks for your consideration. Sincerely, Charles L. 7 RECEIVED AUG 2 6 19gg SLO CITY CLERK August 25, 1998 To: San Luis Obispo City Council Re: Council Appointment Good government requires balance and consensus building. While the current council has been effective and cooperative, it includes no one actively involved in private business. I would bring this perspective to the Council. This application is submitted for the same reason I applied for the Planning Commission--I believe I possess attributes that will help the City. My real estate, legal,and mediation background have provided the skills to work logically and effectively toward sound decisions on complicated and controversial problems. My colleagues on the Commission electing me chairman on two occasions and indicating they are pleased with my performance evidence this. My wife Ginny and I have balanced the time required to raise four children, maintain my business,and effectively serve the community. Our last child has left for college and I am self-employed, giving me time and the flexibility needed for City Council responsibilities. Since 19871 have assisted over 150 local entities from non-profit organizations and governmental agencies to small and large businesses in locating suitable facilities. This has provided a varied network and broad understanding of the many facets of the city. I have learned to work effectively with all. The future of San Luis Obispo is important to me. I would like to assist in making decisions which will benefit the entire community. Respectfully submitted, "CharlesL. (resume enclosed) CHARLES L.

I believe that I am the best choice for City Council for the following reasons: (1 . ) I have the experience that comes with being the grandfather of eleven wonderful grandchildren, one of whom recently graduated from Cal Poly. (2 . ) I have the experience which comes from being a resident of beautiful downtown San Luis Obispo for over 15 years. ( 3 . ) I have a Masters Degree in Agricultural Engineering from the University of Idaho. (4. ) I was an Engineering Officer in the U. S. Air Force, and received an honorable discharge. ( 5 . ) I have over 15 years experience teaching drafting and working with engineers as a draftsman, including a few months at the Diablo Canyon Nuclear Power Plant. ( 6 . ) I was ordained in 1994 as a minister by Roandoak of God of Morro Bay. Thank you for considering me f r membership in the City Council . Sincerely, Lark D.

My family has made SLO our home for ten years now, and I hope we stay here. How do I love thee? Let me count the ways. I love the size, small enough so I can often meet my friends around town. I love the friends we have made. I love the fact that I can ride my bike from home to work and to downtown in 15 minutes. I love all the small businesses, making a unique living and working experience.. I want to help shape the decisions made as the City moves into the future. I support the principles of a just and sustainable society. Therefore I oppose the shopping center on the Dalidio farm. I oppose taking water from a raised dam on Santa Margarita Reservoir. If we increase our population, then we must conserve water more, and use dual-piping to use more nonpotable water. Think globally, act locally. Annexation should be done so benefits, not just costs, accrue to the current City residents. Because I love politics, I look forward to devoting lots of time to civic life. I feel I would be a good representative, devoted to the common good.

I do not work a paying job. My time is my own, which I give first to raising my teenage son, and then to volunteering in various positions. This community would be better served by a greater diversity of opinion on the council than has been apparent in recent times. There are many folks who feel disenfranchised, who feel their interests are not being well represented. I will bring a strong voice for the causes of neighborhoods and the environment. This will be my 12th year volunteering in our schools, in the classroom, library, as PTA treasurer and president, School Site Council member and chair, and occasionally helping to influence school board policy. I also have given time to organizations such as AYSO and SLO Citizens for Medical Marijuana, and occasionally helped out Grass Roots II and the People's Kitchen. I have served as board member and chair of ECOSLO, spent years attending public meetings as an educated community advocate on UNOCAL and neighborhood/social issues, and am now serving on the county's dater Resources Advisory Committee. I am ready and willing to serve our community. I will bring decidedly different points of view to help broaden discussions of important issues.

From my observation,Sally has been an active participant in the life of San Luis Obispo for several years. She is well respected by those with whom she has worked in various organizations and while holding positions on city committees. She is deeply committed to the well being of San Luis and would,I believe, prove to be a thoughtful,creative,and productive member of the City Council. She is well acquainted with people in many businesses and civic organizations and in the community at tinge. She would,I feel,serve as a valuable point of reference with residents of diverse opinions. She appears to me to be someone who would be independent of special interests and would logically weigh the various alternatives in any given situation. That,it seems to me,is a valuable attribute for a city council member to have. You are sire to receive many phone calls and letters of support for Sally. Please add my hearty endorsement to those others and respond by appointing her to serve the remainder of Kathy Smith's term. Thank you for your consideration of this letter.

This will reduce the perception that we are making up rules during the process in order to achieve a political advantage and should also assure that the appointment process proceeds smoothly, thus avoiding the expense of a special election. As a point of departure, I suggest the following ground rules be considered at the beginning of the meeting: First Ballot: ,. • Nine candidates, each council member votes for three. • If no candidate gets three votes on the first ballot,proceed to a second ballot considering only those candidates receiving two votes on the first ballot. Lubsequent Ballots: • If two or less candidates obtain two votes, each council member votes for one. • If three or more candidates obtain two votes each, council members votes for two. In this way,we"narrow the field"to determine which candidates have the greatest opportunity to obtain a majority vote of the Council.

My late husband was an attorney who handled business transactions, and I believe that we first met through work activities and subsequently became friends. I was thrilled when Evelyn announced she wished to serve on the City Council. She has an excellent reputation in the community as a fair, honest and hardworking individual who has spent a great deal of time and effort following city issues and promoting policies favorable to working families and small businesses. Evelyn understands what it's like to try to make a living here .while working in the private sector. we need this kind of perspective on the City Council. She has lived here a long time and is, I believe, motivated by a genuine desire to serve rather than any desire to promote herself. On a more personal note, I know Evelyn to be a compassionate individual who has done a great deal "behind the scenes^ to help the less fortunate in our city. T am confident -that she would exhibit this same sense of responsibility and caring for our community in making her decisions. I nope you will give Evelyn Delmartini your serious consideration.

Sally has always been one to"get involved"whether it was at PG&E where she worked for twenty years or the community in which she resides. This is evidenced by the many committees and commissions on which she has served. Not only is she motivated to "get involved"but is also very effective in accomplishing tasks because of her ability to interact and work with people in resolving critical issues. She does this by listening to all input on issues and then proceeds with a reasonable"middle of the road" approach. As natives of San Luis Obispo, we are interested in seeing this community remain the special place it has always been.
