Ms. Gonzalez has been an excellent resource to students with disabilities attending California State University Northridge. In her position as ILS Coordinator at Independent Living Center of Southern California (ILCSC), she has worked diligently at providing very specific and unique support to our students with special needs. We have found her to be extremely dependable and very efficient when given a request in service to students. Cynthia is quite knowledgeable of various educational programs, community and social activities and demonstrates creativity and organization in her role as ILS Coordinator. We know that without the support and hard work from people like Cynthia Gonzalez - at ILCSC, our students lives would be alot more difficult to manage.

In working with Ms. Gonzalez and her clients, I have always found her to be very effective, organized, positive in outlook, compassionate, knowledgeable, and highly skilled. In her current position at ILP Ms. Gonzalez works with a very diverse population of clients with a wide range of disabilities. She provides not only, counseling, intake and evaluation of new (and often very difficult I) clients, instruction, and advocacy, she also functions as the organizer of community activities for the clients and assesses clients on a weekly basis on their progress in meeting their educational and other personal goals for independence. She is dependable, follows through in the completion of tasks. She is a fast learner, adapts easily to change. She is fluent in both Spanish and English and communicates effectively with clients and co-workers. Ms. Gonzalez is the kind of worker who goes "beyond the. call of duty" in her job. Additionally, she has excellent computer skills. Most of all, she is a wonderful person and a pleasure to work with. I recommend her highly. For further information please call me at (818) 781-8542.

Jim comes from a background regiment, of hard work and discipline. This approach in attitude and work ethic can be seen in Jim's motivations toward his goals and accomplishments as a responsible family man, career leader and involved community member.

As a parent Booster President of the Saugus High School Band and Flag Team, he has participated as an organizational group leader. volunteer member, and school liaison. With responsibilities comes choices and with choices comes consequences. The choice to step up or step aside, to take charge or take a seat, to make things happen or to watch things happen. Characteristic$ such as responsibility, reliability, and integrity can be seen on a daily basis in the form of Jim s involvement in various roles of leadership. He has been recognized by his peers for his contributions to the promotion and pursuit of excellence as a leader and as a interested, concerned and involved parent volunteer.

Throughout his entire professional career Brian has maintained the highest standards of integrity and hard work. Furthermore, the nature of his career gives him invaluable qualities which will make him an outstanding commissioner. As Assistant Superintendent, Brian has become an expert in personnel and budget management. In addition to his duties of planning special events for the. park, his outside contacts with local interest groups, such as the Friends of Castaic Lake, give Brian the unique perspective of -assessing the public's needs from both the administrative and the patron's sides of the coin.

Through these efforts the District has been able to install over $30,000 worth of playground "structures", and will be installing a 1/8 mile track this summer. Additionally, as a result of the Valley View Fund raising efforts, we will be installing an 800 square foot shade shelter on the playground prior to next September's opening. While Teresa's efforts to obtain a City employed crossing guard were unsuccessful, it did become clear to this District's Board that the pedestrian crosswalk used by our Valley View students to cross Friendly Valley Parkway was significantly dangerous enough that they have worked cooperatively with the PTA to pay for supervision at this crossing during the times most frequently used by students. In all my contact with Teresa I have found her to be a bright and very articulate individual who is very thorough and always able to keep focused on a goal,which in my dealings with her has been the improvement of the educational and safety environment of the students at Valley View School. She is a tireless worker and will give 110% to any project she undertakes. She writes exceptionally well and is able to make clear and concise public presentations. I believe Teresa would be an excellent representative for this community and am pleased to be able to recommend her for this position.

I understand she is seeking a position on the Parks and Recreation and Planning Committees for the City of Santa Clarita. As principal of Valley View School in Sulphur Springs, I have worked closely with Teresa for two years. Last year she was the PTA president. During that time I observed her leadership skills in various situations. Her meetings were efficiently run. She always kept things moving along while at the -same time allowing for input from all concerned. Teresa was the driving force behind the installation of $30,000 worth of new playground equipment for our students. She worked with school distr"ct arranging for them to front the installation costs, thus allowing the PTA to p :'t for the apparatus over the next twelve months. This year Teresa was an active member of the district Boundary Committee .group of parents and staff which met for four months to determine the feasibility of c ;,'Ing school boundaries to meet the challenge of increased enrollment in some dict schools., Several parents at Valley View disagreed with the Boundary Cc: ­i'i ttee's findings. Teresa wrote an addendum which became part of the report to ti -;a Hoard of Trustees. Teresa was instrumental in getting the Board to postpone multi -track, year round education at Valley View for one year. Just recently Teresa proposed to the Board of Trustees that if the district would pay for 25% of the cost of installing a track at Valley View, the PTA would pay for 75%. This proposal was adopted by the Trustees, and as a result, construction will soon be under way for a track. As you can see, Teresa is a very capable lady. She not only has great ideas, she also works hard to get them implemented, and all for the good of the boys and girls in the school community. I can see her caring equally for the Santa Clarita community if she were to get the position she is seeking. Sincerely, Q, Marilyn Mil cipal, Valley View.

We have worked together on a number of community service projects including the Valley View PTA and a boundary study committee for the Sulphur Springs School District. I always enjoy working with Teresa as she has proven to be a truly diligent advocate for the children in our community. She worked tirelessly on a number of special projects as president of the Valley View PTA including arranging the purchase of a $40,000.00 playground apparatus. The PTA had been trying for years to get the funds together for this purchase and Teresa made it happen. Teresa has evidenced her commitment to the well being of the community by her insistence a resolution be found when a school crossing guard position was eliminated. The administrative school personnel had changed and the bureaucracy had become more focused on the accounting problems put forth by the crossing guard than the issue of child safety. Teresa has an outstanding work ethic and social conscience. I feel most certain Teresa would excel in any community service project put forth to her.

I am certain that having worked with him for the past year you are most aware that this is a very special individual and that he served the City very well by his membership on the Planning Commission. Here at the College he is a critical member of our executive team and an important friend of higher education in the Santa Clarita Valley. Mr. Berger has served on the COC Foundation Board of Directors as a key volunteer since September of 1989. He is a major donor to the College of the Canyons Foundation and an important member of the executive committee of the board. He serves as Vice - Chairman of the Board of Directors and is the Finance and Investment Committee Chair. He also works on two event committees where he holds responsible chairmanships as well. His monthly reports to the Board are succinct, informative and well delivered and his attendance continues to be excellent, despite his very busy schedule. Michael Berger is an excellent motivational speaker. This past May he was the Keynote Speaker at the annual Honors Banquet where he gave a motivational speech to graduates going on to major colleges and universities. Our students were inspired and learned a great deal from Mr. Berger who urged them to set targeted goals for their future while turning each experience into a positive opportunity. He expresses his ideas and opinions clearly and convincingly even on difficult or controversial topics while still remaining one of the most well liked and well respected leaders in the Santa Clarita Valley. Mr. Berger is responsible and dependable and his honesty and integrity are beyond reproach. He is an asset to any organization who would be lucky enough to have him serve in any capacity. He is an inspiring leader, a hard worker and a positive thinker. He sees the good in society and cares deeply about our community and the citizens who live here. I recommend Michael Berger be re -appointed to the City Planning Commission whole- heartedly and without reservation. Please contact me if you would like further information or if I can assist you in any way in the future.

STUCKER, Application for Planning Commission (805) 253-7316 Fn% (805)254"4107 It is a distinct pleasure to recommend Mr. Ross Stucker for a seat on the Planning Commission. Mr. Stucker has been associated with this community for many years, practicing law in the Newhall Municipal Court, serving as a court commissioner, and participating in many community and charitable activities. Seldom do persons present themselves with the background, education, maturity and talent demonstrated by Ross. His credentials speak for themselves. Nis judicial experience with our court gave him a unique perspective on planning issues because he frequently heard matters involving congested roads, or other areas within the city that would be the subject of planning activities. But beyond his documented accomplishments, Ross is a highly motivated self-starter who knows how to work hard and work smart, and he demonstrates the highest integrity, loyalty and commitment to service. Without any question or hesitation, I wholeheartedly endorse Ross Stucker in his application to join the city team as a planning commissioner. V ry truly yours, Alan S.

I have worked with Teresa for the past five years during which time I have been the Assistant Superintendent, Business Services for the Sulphur Springs Union School District and Teresa has been President of the Valley View Elementary School PTA, Legislative Chairman of that same group and actively involved in a variety of PTA, District and Community projects. Teresa served on our District Boundary Study Committee during the 1996-7 and 1997-8 school years and has just recently been appointed to the William S. Hart Boundary Study Committee. During the time that she served on our committee she regularly attended meetings, participated in the full range of topics and was a major presenter of findings to our Board and at Community Hearings. Teresa has also been instrumental in organizing the Valley View staff and parent community in an ongoing effort to improve that sites playground. She has attended a number of our Board meetings to present checks that have resulted form fund raising activities that were specifically directed to purchasing improvements to the Valley View playground. Through these efforts the District has been able to install over $30,000 worth of playground "structures", and will be installing a 1/8 mile track this summer. Additionally, as a result of the Valley View Fund raising efforts, we will be installing an 800 square foot shade shelter on the playground prior to next September's opening. While Teresa's efforts to obtain a City employed crossing guard were unsuccessful, it did become clear to this District's Board that the pedestrian crosswalk used by our Valley View students to cross Friendly Valley Parkway was significantly dangerous enough that they have worked cooperatively with the PTA to pay for supervision at this crossing during the times most frequently used by students. In all my contact with Teresa I have found her to be a bright and very articulate individual who is very thorough and always able to keep focused on a goal,which in my dealings with her has been the improvement of the educational and safety environment of the students at Valley View School. She is a tireless worker and will give 110% to any project she undertakes. She writes exceptionally well and is able to make clear and concise public presentations. I believe Teresa would be an excellent representative for this community and am pleased to be able to recommend her for this position. .

I understand she is seeking a position on the Parks and Recreation and Planning Committees for the City of Santa Clarita. As principal of Valley View School in Sulphur Springs, I have worked closely with Teresa for two years. Last year she was the PTA president. During that time I observed her leadership skills in various situations. Her meetings were efficiently run. She always kept things moving along while at the same time allowing for input from all concerned. Teresa was the driving force behind the installation of $30,000 worth of new playground equipment for our students. She worked.with school district arranging for them to front the installation costs, thus allowing the PTA to pay for the apparatus over the next twelve months. This year Teresa was an active member of the district Boundary Committee, a group of parents and staff which met for four months to determine the feasibility of changing school boundaries to meet the challenge of increased enrollment in some district schools. Several parents at Valley View disagreed with the Boundary Committee's findings. Teresa wrote an addendum which became part of the report to the Board of Trustees. Teresa was instrumental in getting the Board to postpone multi -track, year round education at Valley View for one year. Just -recently Teresa proposed to the Board of Trustees that if the district would pay for 25% of the cost of installing a track at Valley View, the PTA would pay for 75%. This proposal was adopted by the Trustees, and as a result, construction will soon be under way for a track. As you can see, Teresa is a very capable lady. She not only has great ideas, she also works hand to get them implemented, and all for the good of the boys and girls in the school community. I can see her caring equally for the Santa Clarita community if she were to get the position she is seeking. Sincerely, Q, Marilyn Mil opal, Valley View.

We have worked together on a number of community service projects including the Valley View PTA and a boundary study committee for the Sulphur Springs School District. I always enjoy working with Teresa as she has proven to be a truly diligent advocate for the children in our community. She worked tirelessly on a number of special projects as president of the Valley View PTA including arranging the purchase of a $40,000.00 playground apparatus. The PTA had been trying for years to get the funds together for this purchase and Teresa made it happen. Teresa has evidenced her commitment to the well being of the community by her insistence a resolution be found when a school crossing guard position was eliminated. The administrative school personnel had changed and the bureaucracy had become more focused on the accounting problems put forth by the crossing guard than the issue of child safety. Teresa has an outstanding work ethic and social conscience. I feel most certain Teresa would excel in any community service project put forth to her.

Valencia Blvd. Santa Clarita, CA 91355 To Whom It May Concern: Paul A. K1olh Senior Pamor Joseph D. Campeau Associate Payor Geni Tanner Presdwd Dinaor Please accept this letter as an endorsement of Clyde Wright for the Planning Commission. Mr. Wright has been a member of our Building Committee for the past 7 years and was instrumental in the planning, design and construction of the new buildings on our campus. This was an especially difficult task as the new construction had to blend with all of the existing buildings. In addition to the Building Committee, Mr. Wright is also past -President of the Congregational Council, a demanding job, both in time constraints and dealing with personality and employment conflicts. His performance as President was exemplary. Please feel free to call me if I can be of any further assistance.

His has been a neighbor and a friend. As a homeowner in the Valencia North Valley, I have witnessed Mr. Wright's involvement as a member of the Architectural Review Board of our HOA. Mr. Wright has always taken the responsibility of enforcing the design requirements of our CC&R's very seriously and assisted many homeowners in finding an equitable solution. I would gladly recommend him as a Planning Commissioner.

As a coach, it was thrilling to see the improvement, dedication and involvement of our swimmers. As a -:new program, in a new school, we were drastically low in equipment and in funding. Without the involvement of our parents, I would not have been able to devote the time and effort to the athletes and our program would have suffered. Mr. Clyde Wright is one of those parents. He is Treasurer of the Booster Club and took our poor financial condition to heart. From his efforts in fund raising and community involvement, we were able to purchase the materials and equipment that were a very necessary ingredient to the success of our program. He would be a wonderful addition to the Planning Commission. Very truly yours, �A L% vL CCoa7chLori Ha rison CLYDE F.

I feel that it is a person's responsibility to help their community as to the best of their ability, this is evident in my previous recognition for work done on city formation. Changes in my job responsibilities now make it possible for me to devote more time to community issues. To me the redevelopment of Newhall will have impacts that affect the quality of life for this entire valley for many years to come. A community can not progress if it allows certain areas to regress. If my talents and efforts can help the city of Santa Clarita to move forward in increasing the quality of life here, I feel that it is my duty. QUALIFICATIONS OR EXPERIENCE APPLICABLE TO THE PURPOSE AND SUBJECT MATTER OF THE COMMITTEE: One of the keys in redevelopment is to attract new business into the redevelopment zone. I have 25 years experience in business mostly in the marketing/advertising arena. Through this experience I have been responsible for multi-million dollar revenue streams. In the course of this I have had to deal with revenue projections, cost analysis, resource allocation and project administration. In addition, through my current position, I have constant interaction with the business community and can be representative of their point of view to the work of the committee. I also have close dealings with economic development in two other cities and can be a source of comparison. I also work with various levels of government and have an understanding of their operation and how they interact.

Joe has been affiliated with The Community Redevelopment Agency of the City of Los Angeles and my Department for close to five years. Joe is a very diligent worker, not happy until a project is completed correctly. The L/ breath of knowledge that he has on redevelopment and specifically on redevelopment financing issues will prove beneficial to the Committee and your City as a whole. Furthermore, Joe is a consensus builder who has earned the highest respect of his superiors, colleagues and various outside constituencies. One of Joe's primary responsibilities at the Agency is preparing financial forecasts for new redevelopment project areas that the Agency has under consideration. He frequently discusses such financial forecasts at public meetings attended by both the advocates and opponents of redevelopment. Joe's awareness of the nuances of redevelopment law, especially AB 1290, has been and continues to be beneficial to the Agency. He has been able to identify various funding sources for projects at a point in the Agency's history when we must rely on sources other that tax increment to fund projects. The current emphasis of our Agency is on economic development and site-specific, revenue -supported projects. Joe's insight on these subjects has proven to be beneficial on a wide spectrum of projects. Once again I strongly recommend Joe Nocella for appointment to the City of Santa Clarita's Redevelopment Committee, and encourage you to place him on the sub -committee on finance. Please feel free to contact me at (213) 977-1883 should you wish to further discuss Joe's qualifications for this appointment. • Sincerely, Christine Esse( Chair Peggy Moore, Vice -Chair Raymond L.

Having known Joe for the past three years, I have been impressed with his work ethic and dedication to his job. Joe is always concerned about people's rights, and demonstrates this through his efforts to find equitable solutions for all parties involved. On a personal level, Joe is concerned about his community; working long hours as president of the Northbridge Homeowner's Association Board to insure that the quality of life in his neighborhood is the best that it can be. Joe and I speak frequently about the issues concerning the Santa Clarita Valley. He wants to make sure that ideas and concerns of the residents of Santa Clarita are heard and responded to, and wants to help facilitate this by becoming more involved with his community. Joe knows that the Valley is growing; and there are issues that the City must address that it did not have a few years ago. One of these issues is redevelopment. Joe will give the Committee unparalleled expertise. Having worked for the Community Redevelopment Agency of the City of Los Angeles for the past five years, and as an investment banker working with redevelopment agencies for nine years prior to that, Joe offers insight on resolving redevelopment issues that others will not have. Joe knows that economic development is the key to revitalization and business retention. We have had discussions concerning the redevelopment plans in downtown Newhall, and Joe has shared dynamic ideas that I believe will not only benefit Newhall but have positive domino affect for the City in general. I take great pride as a resident of the City to strongly endorse Joe Nocella as Member of the City's Redevelopment Committee. I welcome any questions you may have.

I applied in 1996 and was not selected. Enclosed, you will find four letters of recommendation. You will note they are dated 1996. I have contacted all four of the persons who recommended me in 1996 and they have stated they continue to endorse me and will provide an updated letter if necessary. I have also enclosed a listing of my qualifications and/or experience. I feel I would be an asset to this committee and will not require a time-consuming effort to bring me up to date on the committee since I have actively attended many of the Redevelopment Committee meetings and receive the minutes of the meetings. Our family has been a part of Newhall for 18 years. It is always a great pleasure to walk around Newhall and enjoy,the small-town atmosphere. We enjoy patronizing Newhall Hardware, Newhall Paint, Harry's Shoe.Repair, Allards Cleaners, and enjoy the Way Station. We miss the drug store, stationery store and the post office. We will enjoy and utilize the new Metro -link station and new businesses coming to the area such as the new restaurant and repertory theatre. I wish to be a part of the restoration of Newhall because I can see the potential for bringing back a vital economic base. We have the potential to work with the Latino community to add history and charm to Newhall. We can support a theatre district. Because of Santa Clarita's cultural and historic background, we can create a tourist attraction to rival all others. All of the above is within our grasp with hard work and perseverance. I have the ability to get along with and work with people on all sides of an issue. As the co-owner of a successful business (Dale's Maintenance Service, Inc.) for 28 years, I have the knowledge of what it takes to survive in a tough economy. As the manager of Dale's Maintenance, I have experienced all facets of running a business, including expertise in customer relations, accounting, setting appointments and mainstreaming with the business community. A strong economic base in the Santa Clarita Valley is in the best interest of our business as well as for all others within the Santa Clarita Valley. Thank you for your consideration.

Not only is he the City's in-house labor and personnel lawyer, but he also handles litigation, advises various commissions and committees in the City, and serves as a liaison to various departments. He is very dependable and makes himself available whenever needed. He has handled and assisted in matters related to land use and redevelopment issues and often has creative approaches to handling complex situations. I am familiar with the growth and development in the Santa Clarita area and certainly understand the importance of qualified members serving on your redevelopment committee. Based on my knowledge of his skills, I believe Larry Newberry is well suited to serve as a highly capable and very dedicated member of the Santa Clarita Redevelopment Committee. Please feel free to contact me at (626) 744-4130 if you have further questions. Sincerely, Michele Beal Bagneris City Attorney June 29, 1998 To Whom It May Concern: It is with aleasure that I recommend Larry Newberry for appointment to the Santa Clarita Redevelopment Committee. I have known Larry as a neighbor and a friend since we both moved into the Valencia area of the new city of Santa Clarita in 1987. Since then he has been active in community and neighborhood projects and events. As Santa Clarita has grown, I have often wondered if there was some way that our city could benefit from his experience as Assistant City Attorney for the City of Pasadena. For the first seven years I also worked in Pasadena and was aware of some of his work there. I know that he has been involved in many aspects of land use for that city, including the redevelopment committee, land use actions and litiaation. and city contracts with builders and redevelopers. I am also aware that Larry serves as an editor to the Municipal Law Handbook for the League of California Cities. He gives seminars on labor law and other municipal law topics. Larry has always been a very positive person. I have been impressed with his intelligent, progressive attitudes. He is honest and trustworthy. It has been a privileae and delight to be his friend, neighbor and supporter over the years. I feel that his experience and personal attitude would be of benefit to the City of Santa Clarita and therefore highly recommend him for service on this committee. Sincerely, l/ 4%JoAnn C.
