Dear Mayor: �^
When you appoint your next Parks Commissioner, there should be no hesitation: Duane Harte is your
man! He is an excellent choice for this position.
What makes Duane the right choice? He is totally dedicated to the communities of the Santa Clarita
Valley. He is reliable, innovative and resourceful. Duane is a "team -player." He can lead or follow;
whatever the situation and the "needs of the many" dictates. And the fact that everyone likes him, is just
the "icing on the cake."
This recommendation comes from working with Duane Harte through his involvement with the Santa
Clarita Valley Chamber of Commerce. He serves as an Ambassador for the Chamber and Co -Chairs the
Chamber's Marketing Committee. He volunteers for many other charities and organizations as well
including the Friends of Mentryville and the Downtown Newhall Redevelopment Committee. Tough his
plate seems full, this should not dissuade your decision to place him on the Commission. We all know, "It
is a busy person who gets the job done."
Thank you for your consideration of my request and the appointment of Duane Harte to the Parks
Commission. Your decision will never come back to haunt you.
Sincerely, ,—,(//

Dear Mayor Darcy:
Recently I learned that a position on the Parks Commission was coming available. The
responsibilities of Parks Commissioner are significant in a fast growing community such as Santa
Clarita. The decisions made today will have long lasting impact on families for generations to
come.
Because of the above stated facts I take great pleasure in recommending to you the appointment
of Mr. Dwayne Harte to the position of Parks Commissioner for the City of Santa Clarita. He is a
long time resident of the area having raised his family here. He has a strong appreciation for this
community as has been repeatedly demonstrated by his involvement with the Newhall
Redevelopment Program, Friends of Mentryville, and the Chamber of Commerce. I have had the
pleasure of working with Dwayne on many community projects and have always been impressed
with his ability to work with others, logic, and most importantly, ability to get the job done.
Should you have any questions regarding this recommendation please feel free to contact me at
299-6310.
