Proposition 0
(This proposition will appear on the ballot in the following form.)
Shall the office of City Treasurer be appointive?
ARGUMENT IN FAVOR OF PROPOSITION O
The City Council has asked the voters of Carlsbad to determine whether or not the office of
City Treasurer should be appointive. If a majority votes yes, it is the City Council's intention to
adopt an ordinance providing that the appointment shall be made by the City Manager on the
basis of professional qualifications in the same manner as otherwise applies to heads of the
other City departments.
CLAUDE A. "BUD" LEWIS
Mayor
REBUTTAL TO THE ARGUMENT IN FAVOR OF PROPOSITION O
The City bypassed the voters when they took control of the Water District last year. The
Council appointed themselves the Board of Directors and eliminated the separate election of
five independent water commissioners.
Now the City is proposing a "takeover" of the Office of City Treasurer. This action requires
voter approval, for state law guarantees Carlsbad voters the right to ELECT their City Treasurer
unless they specifically give up that right.
Proposition O asks voters to forfeit that right by making the Treasurer an appointed member
of city staff like other department heads. In addition to losing electoral control of the Office,
voters would be adding a hefty salary to Carlsbad's top-heavy payroll, since an elected City
Treasurer receives only token compensation.
No system of choosing a Treasurer is foolproof—bozos can be elected as well as
appointed—but democracy deserves the benefit of the doubt until the City proves otherwise.
The City has failed to show a compelling need to change the elective system that has served
Carlsbad well. The competence of the elected City Treasurer is not at issue.
The City has also failed to justify the additional expense of a highly paid investment manager.
It is a basic tenet of American democracy that qualified citizens (such as the present
candidates for City Treasurer) will seek public office and that voters will choose judiciously
among them.
The City Treasurer should continue to be chosen by and accountable to the voters of
Carlsbad. VOTE NO ON "O".
ARGUMENT AGAINST PROPOSITION O
VOTE NO ON "0"
KEEP THE OFFICE OF CITY TREASURER ELECTIVE
We've all heard the saying, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." Carlsbad has been electing its City
Treasurer since the city was incorporated nearly forty years ago. This is the fourth ballot attempt
to "fix" a system that works—by changing to onn that has gone wrong elsewhere.
Giving the City Manager or City Council the authority to hire and fire the City Treasurer will
open up control of the City's $80 million investment portfolio to political influence.
In Los Angeles, for example, the City Treasurer—who is appointed, not elected—was
persuaded to deposit millions in City funds in a savings and loan controlled by an old friend of
Mayor Bradley, who coincidentally served as a "paid advisor" to the same institution. We don't
need that in Carlsbad.
By state law, an appointed City Treasurer "is subject to the legally expressed wishes of the
appointing authority." An elected City Treasurer, on the other hand, is subject only to the voters
and the Government Code.
City funds are the taxes, fees, and other public monies owned collectively by the citizens of
Carlsbad. They should be controlled by a qualified resident of Carlsbad who is elected by and
solely responsible to the voters of Carlsbad.
Keep the democratic process. Vote No on "O".
ANNE MAUCH, Secretary
Project Future
REBUTTAL TO THE ARGUMENT AGAINST PROPOSITION O
The City of Carlsbad currently has an investment portfolio of $80 million. That's 80 million of
your dollars! Would you want just anyone handling that much of your money?
An elected treasurer need not show any qualifications for money management. He or she need
only be a resident of the City. Project Future claims that city funds should be controlled by a
"qualified" resident of Carlsbad. The only way to guarantee that a qualified professional is
managing your money is through the appointive process. Through this process, the person with
the desirable education, experience and ability will be given the responsibility of managing a
growing portfolio.
Choosing the person to manage your money should not be a political decision, but an economic
one. Make sure that the most qualified person manages your money.

Proposition P
(This proposition will appear on the ballot in the following form.)
P Shall the office of City Clerk be appointive?
ARGUMENT IN FAVOR OF PROPOSITION P
The City Council has asked the voters of Carlsbad to determine whether or not the office of
City Clerk should be appointive. If a majority votes yes, it is the City Council's intention to adopt
an ordinance providing that the appointment shall be made by the City Manager on the basis
of professional qualifications in the same manner as otherwise applies to heads of the other
City departments.
CLAUDE A. "BUD" LEWIS
Mayor
REBUTTAL TO THE ARGUMENT IN FAVOR OF PROPOSITION P
Our nation's Founders feared the consolidation of power in one governing body, so they
devised a system of checks and balances based on separate functions for separately
empowered branches of government.
Carlsbad, like most California cities, has only one governing body—the City Council. Our
closest equivalent to "separation of powers" is the direct, popular election of City Treasurer and
City Clerk.
There is a reason why state law provides for the election of these officials. The City Treasurer
safeguards City funds. The City Clerk safeguards the electoral process itself and controls the
public's ready access to public information on the Council's conduct of public business.
In Carlsbad the Council already has the power of the purse strings over the Office of City
Clerk. The passage of Proposition P would take away the Clerk's independent electoral power
base and eliminate one of the few checks and balances in local government.
An elected City Clerk is our best guarantee of an independent election official. An elected
City Clerk is our best guarantee of the ready availability of public information.
The Council has offered no compelling reason to change a system which has served so well
for so long. Retain your right to vote for Carlsbad's top election official. Shield the Office of City
Clerk from City Hall politics. VOTE NO ON PROPOSITION P.

ARGUMENT AGAINST PROPOSITION P
VOTE NO ON PROPOSITION P
KEEP THE OFFICE OF CITY CLERK ELECTIVE
The City Clerk plays a key role in the interaction between citizens and city government. The
City Clerk is responsible for
• conducting elections;
• processing citizen initiatives, referendums, and recall petitions; and
• ensuring the accuracy and availability of city records.
The City Clerk should be as free and independent as possible from the pressures of City Hall
politics.
An elected City Clerk is responsible to the voters directly. Appointed City Clerks are only
responsible to their appointing authority. Elective status, therefore, confers on the City Clerk
the possibility of a much greater degree of independence from the City Manager and the City
Council.
It seems inherent in the nature of all governments to expand, rather than reduce, their own
powers and authority. Since Carlsbad was incorporated, five city councils have sponsored ballot
measures to take away the voters' right to elect/re-elect the City Clerk. So far, the voters have
said No. This measure, too, should be resoundingly defeated to discourage future councils from
similar attempts.
Keep the Office of City Clerk elective in Carlsbad. Vote No on Proposition P.
ANNE MAUCH.Secretary
Project Future
REBUTTAL TO THE ARGUMENT AGAINST PROPOSITION P
The most qualified person for the job is not necessarily the one who gets the most votes. It
is true that the City Clerk plays a key role in the interaction between citizens and government.
For that reason, the Clerk must be someone who is knowledgeable and capable. With an
appointed clerk, this knowledge and capability would be assured. With an elected city clerk, the
only assurance you have is that he or she resides in the city.
Opponents of Proposition P argue that the city clerk should be as free and independent as
possible from the pressures of City Hall politics. Appointing the city clerk would take this position
out of the political arena!
In San Diego County, 12 of 18 City Clerks are appointed. They were chosen for their positions
through a competitive process which compared their knowledge, skills and abilities. This
process ensures that the most qualified person is chosen for the position, and takes politics
out of the position. The city clerk is still accountable to the voters, through the City Manager
and the City Council.
Make the office of city clerk appointive in Carlsbad.

JAMES R. SWAB Age: 50
Retired Comptroller/Accountant
Jim Swab has been an activist for eight years in the fight for open space, quality of life, and
reform of the City's pro-growth policies.
"Carlsbad is at the crossroads." Swab says. "We must learn from the mistakes of Los Angeles
and Orange Counties and change course before it's too late. Future development allowed by
the Growth Management Program will nearly double the population by buiktout and will increase
traffic on city streets by a staggering 811,634 trips per day."
Swab wants a full-scale citizens review of the General Plan and the establishment of
Neighborhood Advisory Boards. "It is the citizens who should determine the future of their city."
Swab has an accounting degree from Pennsylvania State University. After serving as a Navy
officer in Vietnam, Swab served ten years as the civilian Accounting Officer for Camp
Pendteton's hundred-million-dollar budgets.
Swab believes the City's fiscal policies are ill-advised and short sighted. "Spending should reflect
citizens' priorities."
James Swab has the right combination of education, experience, and commitment to serve the
community well.

During my tenure on the board, much has been accomplished toward our quest for excellence.
This district moved from near bankruptcy to financial stability, raised expectations for students
and improved staff morale. Test scores are now among the highest in the state while the drop-
out rate is among the lowest. In addition, we have built two elementary schools, a new District
Office/Senior Citizens' Center, and are making substantial renovations at Valley Junior High and
Carlsbad High School.

Dentist
Having been raised in Carlsbad most of my life, I was privileged to graduate with honors from
Carlsbad Unified School District in 1973. After graduating from Brigham Young University in
1978 and Washington University Dental School in 1982, my wife, Bonnie, and I brought our
young family back to Carlsbad. I joined our family dental group practice, where I became partner
in 1984. Bonnie and I now have six children, with all but the youngest one enrolled in Carlsbad
schools.
Serving six years on the school Personnel Commission has given me the opportunity to learn
how the school district functions in many areas. I have also attended most of the board meetings
during the past year to become familiar with board policies and procedures. I have become well
acquainted with the board members, and feel I can work effectively with them to help Carlsbad
schools continue the path of excellence we all want for our children.
Some of my goals for the school district are to improve the vocational skills programs for
students who are not college bound, increase parental participation in their student's education
(especially in the hispanic community), and help plan and prepare for the future growth of the
school district. I will also be a consistent voice for traditional family values and principles.
A family and personal tradition of service to community, church, Rotary, Boy Scouts, and others
have been very satisfying. I am fluent in Spanish and have worked much with hispanic people.
I hope you will help me to continue serving by voting for Mark Packard for school board trustee.
