I have enclosed my resum~ for your review, as well as copies of two recent articles I prepared, and The Fountain Pen, which I edit. The City Clerk position demands a unique combination of interpersonal and technical skills that I am confident I possess. I have demon- strated those skills in: my service as Acting City Clerk for the City of Fountain Valley (permanent City Clerk was on an extended medical leave). This service was during the months just before a municipal election, and I successfully met that challenge. my clear knowledge of regulatory compliance procedures and municipal operations. my keen listening skills and comfortable style of personal interaction which permits me to easily nurture personal contacts among residents, the media, the League, governmental agencies, interest groups and legislative bodies. a flexibility to adapt in the ever-changing public service environment. As a nine-year Tustin resident, and a television follower of City Council meetings, I am in touch with the pulse of the community. My children attended Tustin schools and our family's contributions to community life have enabled us to know a very diverse, wide swath of the Tustin community. I am confident that my history of committed service in public administration, and specifically in Fountain Valley's Acting City Clerk capacity, demonstrate that I can provide quality service for the City Clerk's role. Thank you for the opportunity to be considered for this position. Sincerely, Susan G.

Lynn t's all too familiar: Stagnant or shrinking city budgets and a not- yet-growing economy leave all kinds of public agencies shook up. In the face of such continued bad news, however, the Fountain Valley City Council remained firm that the agency could: (1) find new revenue sources for its general fund; (2) continue to provide the full array of city services; and (3) remain solvent. And it has done just that in part through a public agency partnership that transformed a white elephant into a valuable community resource. A 10-square-mile bedroom community of 54,000 in the heart of Orange County, Fountain Valley aggressively pursues eco- nomic development opportunities (e.g., the recent addition of a Price Club, a recreation- al vehicle sales "super" lot and other retail stores), but increasing city expenses and diminishing financial resources called for cooking up a new revenue source. Since 1984, an 8,100 square ft. building (a former city police headquarters) had stood vacant. But last year, when the city reviewed a list of potential revenue generators, it seemed plausible the building could gener- ate a new revenue stream while the city retained building ownership. City officials probed the community for potential users, and almost immediately, a viable prospect surfaced. The potential tenant was Coastline Community College -- a union of several satellite campuses located throughout Orange County with a main "headquarters" campus in Fount'fin Valley. With an enroll- ment of more than 15,000 students every semester -- and few main-campus class- rooms -- Coastline is chronically short of space. Although elementary school use dur- ing evening hours could resolve Coastline's space shortage problem, adult students are resistant to attending classes in elemen- tary schools. So it was thought that a new LEAGUE OF CALIFORNIA CITIES city-and-college partnership would rejuvenate a tired, old police facility into a Civic Center campus. As the lessor, the city negotiated several points that streamlined contract process- ing. Thus, the city quickly enabled the college to revitalize the civic cen- ter while still maintaining some measure of control. Clearly, finding a suitable com- munity-oriented partner and negotiating terms that accommodated civic obliga- tions were crucial to the win-win character of the facility conversion project. From concept through to cash flow into the city's General Fund, however, Fountain 'qlley and Coastline encountered three _,rmidable hurdles: 1.The existing building required major renovations. An unusually long, nar- row. irregular building complete with indi- vidual, tight jail cells and many choppy, dim offices, the facility presented a challenge in renovating it for an educational setting. Because the Civic Center is within a redevelopment area, the Redevelopment Agency assisted in financing (;300,000 worth of building renovations to make the police facility suitable for an educational setting. The agreement with Coastline called for the college to pay ten equal lease payments to the city over a 10-year period. These lease payments would be added to the General Fund. 2. The project had to yield a win-win situation for both partners. The pro- ject's feasibility hinged on the condition that both partners would be able to enjoy new benefits. From the outset, the union As Fountain Valley's Environmental Programs Manager, Susan Lynn produces a quarterly environmental newdetter, and urdtes articles on -- diverse subjects of municipal interest. A CSU ?ullerton MPA alum, Lynn edits the citywide newsletter, and prepares the city's grant and a ward submissfi~ns. The project had to yield a win-win situation for both partners. The project's feasibility hinged on the condition that both partners would be able to enjoy new benefits. between Fountain Valley and Coastline was expected to produce ample payoffs for both parties. In fact, since the Civic Center campus began operating in March, 1993, the city has drawn lease revenue, and Coastline transformed an ungainly building into seven functional classrooms and four faculty offices. Unlike the partial solution that elementary schools could offer in the evenings only, the old police building can now serve 220 students each hour of operation for day, evening and weekend classes. 3. College programming needed to address community needs. To support its commitment to community, the city was adamant that the proposed educational facility maximize opportunities for Orange County residents and workers. Coastline met community needs by innovating a pilot program providing the nation's first "2 + 2" interactive video bac- calaureate degree program, "CREATE." The "2 + 2" program enables students who have fulfilled their lower division require- ments at Coastline to transfer to a four-year university, California State University, Dominguez Hills. Through live interactive courses over telephone lines from Dominguez Hills to Coastline Community College in Fountain Valley, students may complete their bachelor's degree require- ments while physically attending classes at Coastline. The three-year pilot program is funded by a $100,000 grant from General Telephone. This program will not only save students the 40-plus-mile round trip to Dominguez Hills, but will also reduce traffic, air pollution and 'wasted" driving time. As an indicator of the successful part- nership, a Coastline Community College spokesman notes, "Coastline feels very fortunate to be in partnership with a visionary city committed to supporting the educational goals of its citizens.' Subjects offered thus far are telecommunications. travel, building inspection technology., real estate and accounting. The project was clearly successful on every front: Coastline gained much-need- ed classroom space, the city added a rev- enue stream, and residents have the opportunity to attend classes close to home. With the addition of the Civic Center Campus, Coastline classes are offered at nearly a dozen locations, includ- ing community facilities, business sites and industrial centers, enabling Coastline to have greater flexibility in serving Orange County's changing needs. Coastline's courses are not only seen throughout Orange County and the United States, but its award-winning tele- courses are also viewed in Canada, Australia, Hong Kong, and Southeast Asia. From the city's perspective, the out- come has been irrefutably rewarding. One council member emphasizes,"This under- taking is a profound example of public institutions working together to create distinct advantages for each organization and the total community."

EY VEGETATION O VERGRO I/VTH STANDARD5 The City's Vegetation Overgrowth Program enables clear, unob- structed sidewalks and public rights-of- way. When City inspectors observe excessive overgrowth, they no- tify the residents that abatement will be necessary. 4 The following guidelines will help you comply xvith the City's vegetation standards- ~ Climbing vines may not protrude more than foUr inches from the wall, and may not overhang so as to touch the ground. ~ Tree branches must be at least eight feet above sidewalks and fourteen feet above arterial streets. ~ Greenery must be trimmed back from svalls and sidewalks to enable safe passage on the public rights-of-way; greenery must not block any public signs. ~ Vegetation trimmings may not clutter sidewalks or streets, and must be discarded appropriately. NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH NEWS ACK-TO-SCHOOL SAFETY TIPS: Bicycles As the new school year starts up, itis even more critical than usual to use common sense and follow all safety rules. Every year, more than 5,000 people are injured in US bicycle accidents -- most of which could have been prevented if the bicyclist had been riding on the right side of the road, traveling in the same direction as motor vehicle traffic (CVC 21202 (a). Riding a bike on a sidewalk is permitted, but the rider must proceed in the same direction as traffic (or face a possible ticket and fine). To keep things simple, just remember that a bike rider must obey all of the same laws as the driver of a car (CVC 21200). Helmets An important reminder to all parents of children who are bike riders: California Vehicle Code 21212 requires that all children under the age of 18 wear an approved bicycle helmet when riding on public trails, bikeways, and streets. Helmets for bicyclists should be approved by SNELL Memorial Foundation or the American National Standards Institute (ANSI). Effective January 1, 1995, helmet violations are an infraction, with penalties up to $25. Remember, bicycling is an enjoyable, healthy activity for the entire family. Make the sport last a lifetime by developing a helmet habit today! PROTECT YOUR VALUABLES --- Operation I.D. This octet of local clerics ~ also known as the Foun- tain Valley Po/ice Department Volunteer Chaplains ~ provide grief counseling, conJlict mediation, and a host of other services for citizens, of J~cers, and other City personnel, as needed. CITY CONTINUES POLICE CHAPLAINCY PROGRAM A crisis or call for assistance in Fountain Valley may bring the Services of a Police Department chaplain. These volunteers, all local clerics, stand ready to serve citizens, officers, and other department personnel. The two-year old Chaplaincy Program yields many posi- ...... e benefits, e.g., grief counseling. To provide the most :ctive response to persons in need, each chaplain has undergone training in protocol, tactical instruction, crisis care briefing and police equipment orientation. You may contact the Chaplain's Office by telephoning 965-4487. Did you know that the City Police Department loans engravers to Fountain Valley residents for engraving ownership numbers on personal items7 ... To obtain an engraver, just ask for one at the Police Department public counter (in the station's main lobby, 10200 Slater Ave.). You'll need a photo I.D. with a Fountain Valley address when checking out an engraver. The appropriate number to engrave on personal items is your driver's li- cense (or California I.D. card) number. Remember to engrave the letters "CA" ahead of your driver's license number. To help safeguard your home: Obtain Operation i.D. warning stickers from the Police Department; post stickers near the entry doors warning that your property is marked (bur- glars do not like to take property xvhich has been engraved). Don't help potential burglars by making it easy to enter your home: Remember to lock doors and windows! NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH NEWS POLICE EXPLORERS If you are between the ages of 14 and 20 years, and are interested in learning about a modern law enforcement agency, the Fountain Valley Police Explorer Post may be looking for you! The post is now accepting applica- tions for membership. Weekly meetings are held at the Fountain Valley Police Department Shooting Range ev- ery Tuesday evening from 5 - 8 pm. Explorers work a variety ofassignme,nts, including riding along with regu- lar officers. For additional information, contact Se- nior Officer Debbie Eskridge at 965-4484. HOME ~ECURITY ALERT! Your electronic garage door opener may not be as se- cure as you think! A new device, called a "Code Grab- ber,'' is now available and is being used for break-ins! The Code Grabber works like this: When residents open their garages, thieves parked nearby use Code Grab- bers to record the special codes transmitted by the "real" door openers. By using the "grabbed" codes, thieves can later open those garages where codes were copied. To help safeguard your garage: · Replace your opener with one containing a "code rotator." A code rotator changes the code each time it is used, so the Code Grabber is useless. (Call a secu- rity company for details.) o Watch for strangers within a few hundred feet of your garage. If you are suspicious, open the door later. · Unplug/turn offthe opener when on vacation or when special protection is needed. o Ask neighbors to watch for unusual activity. Some- thing as simple as recording a license number could put a thief out of business.

TRAFFIC SAFETY REMINDERS With the start of the new school year, each driver and pedestrian needs to be extra cautious and alert at all times, but most especially in the morning rush hours. You can help keep Fountain Valley streets safe by: t/Driving defensively; t/Making safe lane changes; t/Approaching intersections cautiously; t/Stopping behind crosswalks and limit lines; and t/Checking bike lanes before making right turns. Remember that effective January 1, 1994, it is illegal to ride in the rear of a pick-up truck [unless the truck has stationary seats secured to the truck bed and approved seatbelts, CVC 23116 (a)]. Also, the most important thing drivers can do to avoid frustration in heavy traffic is to leave a few minutes early. Drive carefully, and help Fountain Valley have a fatality- free school year. -~UPPORT LITERACY..
