To Whom It May Concern:
I have been informed that Tim Burkhart is being considered for the Santa
Clarita Planning Commissioner appointment.
Tim has worked for Six Flags for the last 22 years and has reported directly to
me since 1993. He has a strong work ethic, good business and analytical
skills and is often asked to represent the Park on community related matters.
In addition, he is involved in both short and long term strategic plans for the
Six Flags California Entertainment Complex.
Also, Tim's opinion on operational issues is well respected throughout the
entire Six Flags organization.
Based on Tim's dedication to his job and community, I would not hesitate in
recommending him for the Planning Commissioner position.
Sincerely,
Del Holland
Vice President & General Manager

To Whom It May Concern:
This letter is written as a recommendation of Tim Burkhart.
I have known Tim for over ten years. During that time he has been a trusted colleague, an active
community leader, and a good friend. Working and living within the Santa Clarita valley has
given him a sense of community ownership. He frequently discusses the growth and development
of this valley with a true interest in the betterment of our lives.
Serving on the local Chamber of Commerce (including holding the position of Chamber
President) has allowed him to understand the business needs of the community. He has
demonstrated a clear understanding of the need for sound planning in the process of community
growth.
Tim is active in youth development and supports community charities.
Iwo strongly recommend him as a member of the community planning process.

To Whom It May Concern:
I am writing to express my support and recommendation for Tim Burkhart
regarding the Santa Clarita Planning Commissioner appointment. Over the
past ten years it has become very apparent that Tim has a passion for the
City and it's well being. When discussing issues his views have always been
very objective with the Cities best interests at the forefront.
Tim's astute leadership and broad-based management skills have not only
served him well personally, but have also had a very positive impact on the
Community during his recent tenure as President of the Chamber of
Commerce. However, probably his greatest asset is his ability to approach
situations/challenges strategically -- always maintaining an open and
objective view to maximize results.
I strongly recommend Tim for the Planning Commissioner position and feel
his participation in City Government would be a great benefit to this growing
community.
