Dear Mayor Lewis and the Carlsbad City Council:
With heavy heart, I must tender my resignation fiom the City of Carlsbad Arts
Commission. I have taken a job in another state and thus will no longer be a resident of
Carlsbad.
I am very appreciative of and thankful for having been given the opportunity to serve all
of you and this great city, albeit for a short time. Being an Arts Commissioner has been a
learning experience and I believe that the Commission under the guidance of Chair Gary
Hill and future Chairs will have a great positive impact on the quality of life in Carlsbad
for many years to come.
My wife jenny and I have truly enjoyed our time in Carlsbad and have been touched by
how quickly the community was willing to take us in as one of its own. We can only
hope that the next place we live will come close to the high quality of the Carlsbad city
government and community.
For the short term, I may be reached at the address and phone number above. When we
have a new permanent address, I will let Marilyn Strong know for any future needed
correspondences.
Sincerely, n
Kelvin w7& T. Okamoto
Arts Commissioner
