I have been involved with city issues starting with the General Plan Update in 2001. I believe I represent a large cross section of citizens who live within the City of Arroyo Grande. My experience with the Planning Commission and the public hearing process makes me ideally suited for serving the citizens of Arroyo Grande. I have learned to balance the often competing interest of various stakeholders involved in the process, while making sound decisions. I have a strong work ethic and have a record of doing my "homework" on important issues facing the city. For these reasons, I respectfully request your consideration during the appointment process.

Mr. Brown is an asset to our community. Just 1 week after we relocated to the City of Arroyo Grande, Mr. Brown recognized our heart for the village area and made us aware of the Stilwell house. Since that time, he has been active in the planning, moving, and even the renovations of our new home. Mr. Brown understands the vision and policies of the City of Arroyo Grande and has been very helpful with our new development. He has been instrumental throughout the entire process of making the vintage Stilwell house our home. We feel very fortunate to know Mr. Brown as our neighbor and friend. We strongly believe that the city of Arroyo Grande would be just as fortunate to have Mr. Brown representing this great city. If you should have any questions regarding this letter of recommendation, we invite you to contact us directly anytime. armest regards, el 4111Att %`lX11, � : I • Dul 7 erling Lori Sterling Kelly Wetmore From: dondirkse @sbcglobal.net Sent: Tuesday, May 04, 2010 3:33 PM To: Kelly Wetmore Subject: Website Message Council: Please consider Planning Commissioner Tim Brown for the Council vacancy. -Don Dirkse & Anna Unkovich 637 Asilo No virus found in this incoming message.

It is imperative that these communities make the right decisions balancing community need and its financial abilities. The City also needs and deserves a competent individual who possesses the business experience necessary to make such decisions. I believe that my background, experience and energy will prove to be an immediate asset to the City and its residents, and make a difference on the City Council and in the community. I have elected to apply for the appointment to the City Council because I want to help manage and plan the future of the City. When moving to California a few years ago, my family and I were impressed by Arroyo Grande's businesses, schools, parks and community- sponsored recreational events. Consequently, we chose Arroyo Grande as our new hometown. And in raising our child here, I want to also help ensure that the City grows and develops in a responsible, sustainable fashion for future generations. Section 2- Qualifications or Experience Please see the attached resume for complete information on my qualifications and experience. Section 3- Community Involvement I am not currently serving on any boards or commissions. I am a former member of the Senior Action Council of Kenosha, WI, an advocacy group for senior citizen initiatives and interests. And for several years I served as an Election Judge in Lake County, IL. While in graduate school I was the founder and President of the University of Wisconsin - Parkside's Graduate Business Student Association and Graduate Business School Alumni Association. Both of these associations were formed to help the University's graduate business school align its goals and objectives with that of the student body and alumni.

My qualifications, as outlined below, make me highly qualified for your consideration. I have served on the Planning Commission for nearly five years and as Chair for over two. As a long term member of the PC, I have the experience with current city issues essential for the Council appointee. I have proven leadership as chair, managing meetings and personalities effectively and efficiently. I approach planning with an open mind, an ear for public comment, and a knack for compromise, balance, and problem solving. These skills are essential for City Council, and combined would allow me to "hit the ground running" in June. My professional background is in education. I have my B.A. in History from UCLA, and a Master's Degree in Educational Leadership and Administration from Cal Poly, where I graduated with honors. I have held numerous leadership positions over and above my teaching contract, all of which contribute greatly to my preparation for leadership at the Council level. In addition, my family is in both real estate and private retail business, giving me a strong background and appreciation for those issues as they apply to city government. It is my belief that our civic duty as a members of either Planning Commission or City Council is to be grounding elements for our community. It is our role to be open minded, fair, and sensitive to all members of our constituency, regardless of our personal political values. As Councilmember, I would extend and expand my leadership experience to most effectively serve the City. Perhaps most significantly, my appointment would preserve the balance of the current Council as validated by the citizens in the last election of 2008. In summary, my leadership experience, tenure on Planning Commission, and personal skills would most effectively serve the community of Arroyo Grande as the next City Councilmember. Respectfully submitted, Caren
