WYNN, CITY CLERK OPTION OF THE CITY PRINTING AND MAILING THEIR OWN CAMPAIGN STATEMENTS FOR THE NOVEMBER 8, lg88, CONSOLIDATED GENERAL MUNICIPAL ELECTION RE COMME NDAT I ON: Pleasure of the City Council. BACKGROUNO: At their meeting on July 5, 1988, the City Council requested continuance of this item to the July 18, 1988 meeting, when Mayor Hoesterey would be in attendance. At an election semina~ at the Registrar of Voters in June, the City Clerk's office was informed that some cities who have consolidated their elections were printing their own sample ballots because it gave more exposure to their candidates. These sample ballots would be mailed by the City and would be separate from the remainder of the issues and candidate statements mailed by the County. Irvine is one of those cities. ' When a city has consolidated their election with the County, the candida~:es' statements are at the very end of the sample ballots. For Tustin, the cost for 1/4th of a page (200 words) is $350.00 per candidate (sample "1" is attached), or for 1/2 of a page (400 words), it is $700.00 per candidate. This does not include the mailing of the sample ballots which would be charged to the City. At the 1986 City election, the cost per candidate for printing and mailing the sample ballots was $329.88 for 200 words. The actual cost for just printing the statements was $163.24 per candidate, which was paid by each candidate (sample ."2" i s attached }. If the Council desires to print and mail their own separate sample ballot, the cost to each candidate for printing and mailing would be $350, which is the same cost as 1/4th of a page in the County sample ballot. / VW Att. SAMPLE "1'" STATEMENT OF CANDIDA'I',-. OR MEMBER OF THE CITY COUNCIL Proposed City of Dana Point LOUIS ROBERTS AGE: 36 OCCUPATION: Attorney at Law I was bom in California and attended Santa Monica High School. After graduation from the University of Washington I attended law school and have since represented injured clients from all walks of life. I served as the'president of Woodbddge Chateaux Homeowners Associa- tion, secretary and vice-president of the Orangetree Condominium Home- owners Association, and president of the Orangetree Master Homeowners Association. My previous residence in Irvine for 6 years and association with citizens there, developing a model community, have provided me with some foresight for community development which I hope can be utilized for the benefit of the proposed City of Dana Point. I served on the Board of Directors for the Exchange Club, which contrib- utes to the prevention of child abuse, and am a member of the Dana Point Chamber of Commerce. I will support slow planned growth, retail development for city revenues, an efficient public safety system, modern health facilities, educational ac- tivities, and the opportun!ty for a relaxed lifestyle to be enjoyed by all citizens in our proposed city. I pledge my best efforts as a Councilmember to the fulfillment of our dreams in maintaining the high quality of lifestyle we all desire and deserve. s/Louis Roberts STATEMENT OF CANDIDATE FOR MEMBER OF THE CITY COUNCIL Proposed City of Dana Point . ED CONWAY AGE: 39 OCCUPATION: Independent Businessman To some, Tuesday's election may not seem like a major event, but as one who has lived and worked in this community for the past nine years, your vote will set the course for our new city for decades to come. Dana Point is at a crossroads: Do we move ahead with a chance to determine our own destiny, or do we sit back and subject ourselves to the risk of being swallowed up by our larger, inland neighbors? For me, the choice is obvious. Our community has matured to the point where cityhood is vital. I have a long history of community involvement: President of the local Chamber of Commerce; President of the Dana Point Specific Plan Board of Review; Vice- Chairman of the County Harbors, Beaches and Parks Commission; director of numerous organizations, including the Arts Council and Capistrano Symphony. In 1987, I was named Dana Point's Citizen of the Year. As a local, independent businessman, I believe in common-sense govern- ment that encourages citizen participation, "managed" growth and fiscal responsibility. My record demonstrates my dedication to these principleS. I look forward to serving on our city council to make our community an even better place to live and work. s/Ed Conway STATI:,,,ENT OF CANDIDATE FOR MEMBER OF THE CITY COUNCIL Propos.ed City of Dana Point CHUCK CHAPIN AGE: 32 OCCUPATION: University Administrator "Community" is a very important concept to me and the very reason for my candidacy is that I want to protect ouriqdividual neighborhoods as we become a city. Our neighborhoods are too important to us - we need more stop signs on the busier streets running through our neighborhoods - the children need safe crossings. I will work to maintain the individual identities of our neighborhoods which is the source of our pride. Irresponsible con- struction must be stopped; citizens of the community must have a say in what structures are approved. No more mini-malls! The streets must be maintained and cleaned. Traffic flow along the PCH must be evaluated and improved immediately. The back-up into Dana Point onto.PCH fromthe freeway is ridiculous and must be changed now. Develop- ment along the already impacted streets must be discouraged. Protect the "Point"! We have one of the most beautiful open coastal areas left in our very own bluff above the harbor. Let's save this ecological area for the future. Education: BA Florida; MS Iowa State. I own my home in Capistrano Beach and prior to that rented in Dana Point being a resident here for five years. I work for Cai State Fullerton. s/Charles E. Chapin STATEMENT OF CANDIDATE FOR MEMBER OF THE CITY COUNCIL Proposed City of Dana Point JUDY CURRERI AGE: 45 OCCUPATION: Director Park Board Having participated continuously and actively in civic activities during my 13 years in Dana Point have proven my leadership skills and demonstrated sufficient knowledge of community needs to competently serve as a City Councilmember. For the past 3 years I have been Chair of the Incorporation Committee which has successfully brought the opportunity to become a city to this ballot. My belief is that local residents need easier access to and more influence upon the governmental process, which cityhood will offer. Our quality of life can be enhanced by attention to small amenities like street sweeping and a closer animal control shelter. My leadership can help solve larger issues: achieving Iow density but quality development, pressure on CaI-Trans to slow down traffic on Del Prado, stricter enforcement of signage ordinances in the commercial areas. I stand for meeting the needs of local resident while balancing the needs of a viable commercial sector.

SALLY ANNE MILLER S'[.~ ~ ~:MENT OF CAMERON CO'SGROVE CANDIDATE FOR THE OFFICE OF MEMBER OF THE CITY COUNCIL Name: Age: Occupation: Cameron Cosgrove 30 Irvine Planning Commissioner Education and Qualifications: As an Irvine resident since 1967 and an Irvine Planning Commissioner, I've demonstrated my commitment to the values that attracted us to Irvine: the promise of a planned community with ample open space, peaceful neighborhoods free of traffic congestion, and quality schools. I co-chaired the volunteer effort that gathered 11,000 Irvine voter signatures to qualify the California Parks and Wildlife initiative for this June's ballot. This statewide initiative - coupled with the City's own open space plan, which I also worked on - will save thousands of Irvine's open space acres, including our hillsides, orange groves and center-city agricultural lands. As a Councilmember, I will protect other important community interests. First, I will fight any attempt to bring commercial jet airliners to E! Toro - a catastrophic event for our neighborhoods. Second, I will work to restrain excessive development in Orange County. Third, I will insist upon strong fiscal practices to insure Irvine's prosperity, while allowing us to improve, police and emergency services, provide parks and recreation opportunities and initiate chiidcare and senior services. I am deeply committed to the promise of a planned community. On Election day, I hope you'll grant me the opportunity to serve as your Counciimember. CAMERON COSGROVE 5500-7
