Dear Mayor Darcy and Council:
OFFICE
OF THE
MAYOR
The Pomona City Council is pleased to announce its endorsement of Vice -Mayor Nell
Soto for the South Coast Air Quality Management District Governing Board of Directors.
Nell is a hard-working, industrious member of our City Council and has applied the same
energy to her duties as the Eastern Region Cities Representative. She has done an
outstanding job as our representative and we believe she deserves re-election.
The Pomona City Council respectfully requests your support and endorsement of Nell
Soto for re-election to the AQMD Board of Directors at the next meeting of the City
Selection Committee on December 7, 1995. Recent legislation has changed the process to
accepting a simple majority of member cities and population. Please plan to attend this
meeting so that we can complete this exercise on the first round of votes.
Thank you in advance for your favorable consideration on this matter.
Sincerely,
/Eard C rtez
Mayor
