It's not even about shareholder value (ask Jack Welch!). ™'°''"'^^^ Business success is achieved through the power of human creativity and organization and depends on individuals - people - complex beings in relationship whh an3dtoabie enviromnent called nature. No human experience can be fiilly rJresentedTa mafteLtical rsLTai:^^^^^^ Yet we realized only recently that besides the financial bottom line there should be nthi^r .rit.-i-. 0 set business goals and measure the results of human organizations ^e S'^ mp c Se urroundmg ecosystems and its influence on humans are factors rarely ptoTrtTeZte ^ corporate strategy. Intuitive Intelligence™ helps us move fi-om a conLSe fragmentd business approach that focuses on financial results as the ultimate goal, t^a bis ine,, view where people, society and „atui-al ecosystems are all part of le pict« Zey ee^ as only simply a resource, a means to an end. All aspects of business are inseparably taken into account as a whole for maximum efficiency and sustamabihty. W creative tjrocess of life. Many leaders focus on economic results believmg that it is the shortest SraS their goals. T^e paradox is that empowering people and relationships are the key r^Salcial results. In 2004 neuroscience was finally able to establish a fact known for miuS^ a bv Mdent civilizations: the human mind is more unconscious than it is conscious. For S«r eSSg^" nconscious in people is more effective than focusing on the conscious pi ofSSis is the paradoxical thought process. As psychologist David G. Myer puts it: "under the surface lies a lot of intelligence above a lot of delusion. ^^^S^IZ^S^^tinc.n.^r.s aspect of our lives we need to pay attention to subtle deSfa^d to our emotions, which ^.e indicative of our perceptions, whether conscious or SnscTouf Our emotions fashion our thoughts, which lead to our actions; our acUons tarn into S tJiat flnX shape our character.

It relies on VSte~rprocesses, yet it depends even more on the creativity of people and corporate cuS . Creativity fmds its inspiration beyond the motivation of financial gam or economic acMevement. It stems from dreams and ideals and pertains more to Utopia tiian pragmatism. Oraanizations seeking Innovation cannot rely only on a pragmatic leadership model rooted S aTurT^orSpproach (leadership by design). Such a leadership model sets gods and objectives; covers budgets and schedules and relies on flie aligmnent of teams to execute the CO porate Vision. Leadership by influence, however, is on the opposite side of the spectitun. It oe -ce v« any human organLtion as a living interconnected web and the relationship w th consumers al a dynamic collaborative system. And for that matter it focuses on factUtating and gu?S fee natural emergence of creativity to reach innovative business solutions. It puts L emphasis on engaging and influencing teams and consumers rather than motivating and cTnSg them. It conveys a strong sense of meaning within visions and goals to reach that pretaefchone of us wtere creativity thrives and can be awakened. In practical terms a leader, 7 guided by mtuitive intelligence, ensures that all systems and processes are in the service ofthe human factor and its ecosystem rather than an isolated attempt to rationalize business and reach financial goals. He or she inspires uniquely magnetic organizations fired up with enthusiasm and a strong sense of possibility. In fliis way, leading with intuitive intelligence creates virtoous circles and enables teams to beheve, manifest autonomy, and succeed. Intuitive Intelligence is a poweilul leadership attribute. It is not a tool to devise the future but an instrument that points our attention towards the invisible. Intuitive Intelligence brings us closer to understand the transformative and creative nature of our organizations as well as their interdependence with their environments. It is a means to take in unexpected information or paradoxical data and to feed our analytical and rational thinking with subtle creative perceptions. In this way intuitive intelligence bridges the rational and the irrational realms, the conscious and unconscious dimensions, the inner and the outer, the material and immaterial aspects of any business and allows for truly evolutionary leadership. In our next post well introduce a new tool to help foster Intuitive Intelligence, both in organizations and individuals: The Intuitive Compass™. Copyright © 2009 Francis ChoUe. All Rights Reserved.

Hosted readings by such distinguished Beatvotts as Lawrence Ferhnglietti, Allen Ginsberg, Robert Creeley & Robert Duncan ^ STATEMENT OF PURPOSE Cultural Arts Manager City of Carlsbad Thomas Mark Powers For the position of Cultural Arts Manager, I respectfully submit my resume for your consideration. My dance with the muse spans 40 yeai's with experience in every facet ofthe Arts As to my qualifications, first and foremost I am a Califomia artist/historian. I hold three degrees m fine art: a high school diploma firom North CaroHna School of the Arts, a BFA from Maryland Institute College of Art and a MFA from Laguna College of Art and Design. Additionally I have studied with California artists Wayne Thiebaud, Richard Diebenkom and Edward Dugmore. I am co-founder of Black Mountain College Museum + Arts Center in Asheville, North Carolina and have hosted readings and "happenings" by such distinguished Beats' as Lawrence Ferlinghetti Allen Ginsberg and John Cage. Other qualifications are my experience as a community organizer and preservationist. For the past 19 years, Ihave been the President of Black Mountain Productions, a Multiple Mtelligence/Arts Education based 501(c)(3) consortium created by Dr Howard Gardner at Harvard Project Zero. For ten years, I was active in the preservation of 19^"^ and early 20'^^ century California architecture. In 1985 I initiated the revitaHzation of downtown Sacramento by restoring tiie Merrium apartments, Sacramento's finest example of Prairie School architecture. When expansion of tiie community center thi'catened the Merrium with demolition, I found my media and theatrical skills an effective tool in my advocacy for its preservation. Recognition ofmy efforts has been acknowledged in periodicals such as Preservation News and the Sacramento Bee. I have done extensive work with tiie Sacramento city govemment. I initiated seminars in how to design historically sensitive/cost-effective stractures, which harmonized with a neighborhood's existing aesthetic character and architecture. My presentation before the city's Architectural Review Boai'd induced the board to require tiie owners of the new Hyatt Hotel, located in a historically sensitive area, to add $2.5 million wortii of aestiietic improvements to their structure before receiving city approval. I expanded on my architectural credo by developing a proposal to replicate a Prairie style apartment building on a site across from the California State Capitol I successfully negotiated $1.2 million for the construction of tiie building from tiie City of Sacramento as well as the right to remove all the antique fixtures from a National Register of Historic Places building the city was tearing down. These fixtures were incorporated into the new building. In 1995 the finished apai'tment building received the Governors' Award for excellence in design. That same yeai-, I developed a proposal to create the 19'^' Street Arts Corridor in midtown Sacramento. I also collaborated with state and local govemments to secure the initial funding for tiie arts corridor. My teaching experience began in 1993 when I taught art at Rock Hill High Schoo ^ Rock Hill, South Carolina. During tiiis period, I developed a visual art curriculum tiiat I entitied OPEN EYES. It is based on tiie pedagogical philosophy of Josef Albers tiiat he ^^^^l^P^^ f J^^^ ^ Bauhaus and Black Mountain College (BMC). The most notable result of my OPEN EYES effort was tiiat five of my students took top honors at tiie most prestigious student ait exhibition m tiie State My method for teaching OPEN EYES is hands-on, and my central and consistent effort is to teach metiiod and content. In particular, I invite students to realize tiiat tiie way they handle facts through creative application is as important as tiie facts themselves. In 1996 my Harvard-based non-profit art education consortium Black Mountain Productions (BMP) was granted $100,000 tiurough tiie Z. Smith Reynolds Foundation. My involvement m educational technology grew out of my work with OPEN EYES curriculum, hi 1997 I was offered an opportunity by White House Chief of Staff Erskine Bowles, Nortii Carolina Governor Jim Hunt, BellSoutii and Apple Inc. to take my OPEN EYES curricular approach to the State s under-funded schools via the North Carolina Information Highway (NCIH). In my capacity as BMP President, I served as an intermediary between all artistic, educational, corporate and governmental entities, handled all administrative duties as well as overseemg daily operations oftiie OPEN EYES project. I, also, wrote aU tiie grant proposals, budgets and met with tiie chief officers of foundations about requested funding. Upon request, I can provide you with a $13 million operating budget I created for Coronado School ofthe Arts. Anotiier aspect of tids work involved taking advantage of new possibilities in digital media and communications. For example in 1997,1 created one ofthe earliest interactive coast to coast teleconferences in "real time". BMP utilized tiieNCIH's fiber-optic system to video-stream tiieir statewide educational conference to Apple Corporate Headquarters m Cupertino, Califomia. Also, in 1997 BMP created tiie Nortii Carohna Teachers Resource, Assistance & Information Network (TRAIN) which delivered online professional development in Harvard- based arts education to teachers statewide and contained America's "first" web gallery. In 1998 TRAIN became LEARN (Leai-ners and Educators Assistance and Resource Network), a Worid- wide Website maintained by UNC-Chapel Hill. Recently, I reinstated BMP's 501(c)(3) tax status with tiie IRS. Since 20091 have collaborated with BMCM+AC on tiie RE-VIEWING International Conference, which was in part the subject of my MFA Thesis, based on the legendary BMC Summer Institute (Buckminster Fuller was the director) and the pedagogical concepts of Harvard Project Zero Classroom (which I attended in 2004) I was an art professor at Palomai' College. I am a docent ^iMission San Luis Rey and have been helping the padi'es raise monies for tiieir seismic retrofit. My fatiier worked at SIO/IGPP for Walter Munk and was a career Marine.

' ""^^^ U"^^^'*y °f North Carolina School of the Arts (UNCSA) alumnus to apply for the Chancellorship. I have enclosed my UNCSA Open Eyes mamfesto as my personal statement to provide insight as to what I would do as Cultural Arts Manager, it is written in Scots-Irish/Appalachian English (North Carohna vernacular) In 1748 my Scots-Irish family settled in North Carolina. As a Califomian, I would often be asked to translate California vernacular into North Carolina Scots-Irish when my educational consortium was m Charlotte. It is imperative to be able to communicate in the vernacular of a community That It speaks to greatness and not mediocrity. The fact that I am one of the original Carlsbad ' kids IS a chaotic intangible I would bring to the Cultural Arts Manager position. I lived in Carlsbad when the city was in its infancy, when eveiyone knew and cared for everyone else If we needed a basebaU field we all grabbed our shovels and built it! (Chase Field). More importantly, we had great schools that were based in the Arts. On April 1,2013,1 met with Council Member Lorraine Wood and Dr. Kathy Dobson to discuss tht City s plan for a college (Technion-Israel Institute of Technology) and creating a cross-genre Arts/Multiple intelligence education approach for the new Sage Creek High School The opportumties being offered Carlsbad are on a highly evolved level of global consciousness. This tevel of consciousness can only be accessed through the arts and intuitive intelligence The Cultural Ai-ts Manager will act as interpreter/facilitator/coordinator for these complex global opnons and offerings now before the city council. Without fully understanding the complex nature ofthe beast, Carlsbad will be ill-equipped to meet the demands ofthe digital age If Irwin Jacobs' Technion Institute is located in Carlsbad. Sage Creek High School will become a Global Leammg Charter Public School which indoctrinates students in relativism instead of inculcating them m an intuiuve approach to problem solving (project-based leaming). To quote Nietzche ..'T/ie surest way to corrupt a youth is to instruct him to hold in higher esteem those who think alike than those who think differently." Man, like a painting, can never be a finished creation. Education may lay the foundation of poverty or riches, industry or idleness, good or evil. It can also imbue the learner with the consciousness to create or only the limited capacity to copy. Thomas Wolfe, in his chaotic manuscript The October Fair, reaffimis the biblical passage- no prophet is accepted in his hometown" (Luke 4:24) when he exclaimed that "you can 'tgo home again." Carlsbad needs a Cultural Arts Manager who will protect ow community's cultural ethos by expanding its arts consciousness and reconnecting it with California's deconstructed sybantic culture. Only then can Carlsbad successfully perform on the global stage. It is time for me to finally return home and retire the city's outmoded arts council pai-adigm and focus on an intuitive approach that will restore om- sybai-itic lifestyle and strengthen our schools and businesses. I look forward to meeting with you to discuss my relevant qualifications and transcendental vision for Carlsbad. •7 would teach children music, physics and philosophy; but most importantly music, for the patterns in music and all the arts are the keys to learning." -Plato 3d ' I.

Tom and I have known each other since the late 1980s when I was Planning Chair for the longstanding local historic preservation organization, the Sacramento Old City Association. He was the key preservation advocate fighting first for the National Register apartment buUding at 14^' and K Streets, the Merrium Apartments, and then later for replacement housing projects (artist lofts) in the midtown of Sacramento. Back in the 1980s, citizen advocacy for historic preservation and in-fill housing was in its infancy. He, early on, saw the need to encourage increased residency downtown in order to create that critical mass of people needed to support and advance the arts in Sacramento. He is also a strong advocate for the expansion of the role of arts in the schools while promoting the use of cutting-edge communication techniques and infoimation technologies to facilitate that expansion. Tom is a unique individual. He has the uncanny ability to solve \msolvable' problems via 'outside the box' approaches. He is just a resourceful person whose energy, ability and passion have spawned everything from artist loft developments to school programs in the arts. In summary, I have found Tom Powers, basically through his tireless efforts to preserve many of the old buildings of Sacramento, to be a zealous, hardworking artist who exhibits tremendous commitment to personal causes. That commitment to date has resulted in the revitalization of downtown Sacramento. That is no small achievement. If he should ever commit such energy and devotion to directing the California Arts Council, then I harbor no doubt he will be a ti'emendous asset to advancing the Arts in our State. I hope you will give him the opportunity to be interviewed by your selection committee so they can also, first hand, get to experience his creativity and passion for this important public assignment. Yours truly, Dennis Neufeld Treasui'er Sacramento Old City Association (916)446-1054 3V 1 February 2011 Sandy Muryasz MiraCosta College 1 Bamard Drive Oceanside, CA 92056 Re: Thomas Powers Ms. Muryasz, I would like to recommend Thomas Powers for the position of Art History Instructor at your school I first met Tom when we were colleagues at Palomar College. He is obviously a personable man and I immediately liked him. As we got to know each other better, I realized that Tom has a passion for his art as well as a passion for teaching. This caused me to recommend that my own daughter take his Art Appreciation course, which she did, I had the opportunity to sit in on a number of those classes. What I saw was a professional who TTf i ''''f''^ '""^ ^^''^'"^ ' w°"derfully unique way: His students not only leamed about Art History but they tried their hands at the different types of art about which they were leaming Tom had designed a number of educational activities that were reasonable in expectations but also brought insight to the students. I believe that those projects assist in long-term retention of the material; I know my daughter still looks at and talks about her experiences from that class At the end ofthe course each student had completed a portfolio of projects and articles I was impressed with the breadth and depth ofthe topics covered in his class and realized that Tom had achieved another important educational aspect: The information had direct connections with student m erests For example, one topic was about tattoos and the art and meanings behind them as seen by different cultures. Th.s clever "hook'' increased student engagement with the materiai as well as brought excitement to what could otherwise be prejudged as a dull and boring topic Tom Powers has the knowledge, the experience, the talent, and the love of topic to become one of your prized teachers. Please give him the opportunity to show you his abilities and to bring an appreciation of art and its history to your students. Feel free to contact me about this letter and about Tom.

Education Technology Consultant Strategic Alliances Apple, Inc. 71 Wimbledon Court Roxboro,NC, 27573 April 9,2011 Hie Honorable Edmund Gerald *'JeiTy" Brown Jr. Governor, State of California State Capitol Sacramento, CA 95814 Dear Governor Brown, It is indeed my great pleasure to offer comment and opinion regarding your consideration of Professor Thomas Powers as the next Director of the Califomia Arts Council (CAC). Having known Tom for the last 17 years, I highly encourage you to continue your conversations regarding his employment with CAC. His insight into contemporary arts education theory and practice has a long and impressive history. From his earliest years as a high school art teacher to the position of President of Black Mountain Productions, Tom has exemplified the tenacity needed to build arts programs that are curricular in nature while embodying the latest in technology-based tools designed to reach audiences that have been historically disenfranchised. His exemplary program, OPEN EYES, endorsed by the noted education researcher, Howard Gardner, has garnered Black ' Mountain Productions national and international attention for its innovative concern for arts education. The program's design builds on the needs and expectations of today's youth through the use of distance education methodologies and a multiple intelligence curricular approach. Tom embraces the future of arts education with the passion and energy level typified by other great leaders who, in the words of Jim Collins, author of the best seller. Good to Great, understand that 'good is the enemy of great.' I cannot imagine another arts educator who can help lead the California Arts Council to fulfill its mission to "advance California through the arts and creativity." (http://www.cac.ca.gov/ahout/mission.cfm ) Please contact me for additional information if needed, Sincerely, BaiTy Adams, Bd.D. National Education Technology Consultant Apple, Inc. 3 OPEN EYES: Interactive Distance Education Project Black Mountain Productions' (BMP) OPEN EYES Project is an imiovative approach to help both classroom teachers and arts specialists infose the arts across the curriculum Hie project follows in the footsteps of Black Mountain College's community of learners approach providmg new and significant leaming in and through the arts. This learning will benefit teachers and students throughout the State of Cahfomia by utilizing the latest in web-based technology as well as the most creative ideas in education reform: multiple intelligences theory, project-based teaching for understanding, the power of new media and new technology and authentic assessment. This project comes at an opportune time for Califomia in its efforts to bring their schools mto the 21 century. Recent efforts to assess and reform our schools, such as the No Child Left Behind law and Title Five legislation have focused attention on Common Core subjects and rigorous testing, rather than leaming modaUties, brain development and scaffoldmg of knowledge. No effort has been made to address more fundamental questions regarding what we teach and why. My concem, given the relatively low predictability of the tests, is that there may be people who have tremendous talents- creative and practical talents—who, because they don't do well on tests, never get the chance to show what they really could do in important jobs. I believe that education is the foundation of our democracy, an opportunity for our youtii to reach tiieir full creative potential, but traditional education can be extremely isolating. Too often, schools operate as if tiiey are separated from their communities and tiie standard curriculum lacks relevance to real life. The arts are the key to tiiis effort, and web-based technology is the most direct and accessible way to make the arts available to teachers and tiieir students. The arts must be central to education. But how do we actualize that possibility? The first is by providing autiientic experiences in tiie arts as content areas equal in importance to study in other academic subject areas. For this, it is inherent that every school has its specialists in art, music, theatre and dance. These speciaHsts provide autiientic exi3eriences in their particular art forms, developing students' appreciation of the arts, tiieir artistic skills and tiieir capacity for expression and creativity. The second way is' equally important but more difficult to achieve. It is to prepare classroom teachers to infuse the arts into tiie existing curriculum. Not only has this been proven to enrich tiie educational experience by bringing the subject matter to life, it enables students witii different leaming styles and intelligences to become engaged in the learning of an important subject matter which might otherwise escape them. The arts also teach that neither words nor numbers define the limits of our cognition- a good example of infusing tiie arts into the existing curriculum can best be demonstrated through a collaboration BMP did with MIT Media Lab called Escher's World, The worid of M.C. Escher, artist and geometrician, is a place where students create art and mathematics simultaneously in a studio setting. Making matiiematics in such an expressive environment questions tiie very nature of what we mean when we say sometiiing is "mathematical." When children use matiiematics as a tool for self- expression, they discover the visual, intuitive and open-ended aspects of mathematical inquiry that are often missing from traditional mathematics classrooms. In this way, Eschefs Wor/^ explores how arts/media technology dissolves the boundaries between traditional school "subjects" and how these changes in turn force us to reexamine our understanding of what it means to think and to learn. Most classroom teachers have had Uttie experience in the arts and are not aware of tiie many possibilities for using the arts in teaching. The Black Mountain Arts Education Website meets this need head on. It provides lesson plans and resources by which teachers in every discipline can integr2U:e die ^ts into their cuiiicula. It fuither provides support materials for arts speciaUsts, allowing them to work more effectively within their disciplines. Moreover, this program will allow them to work more closely witii tiieir academic colleagues to make art a central part of leaming in the Califomia schools. Black Mountain Productions' goal is tiius to provide, via the Intemet, direct instruction access to resources for students and teachers and a fomm for all interested in art and art education. Our particular interest ties in teaching students and teachers how to use technology to fhe greatest advantage in all aspects of art instmction and production. The Black Mountain Arts Education Website will draw upon model lesson plans and cuiTicular units from teachers across the country. It will also Mnk teachers with arts-based educational organizations like Harvard Project Zero, Lincoln Center Institute and MIT Media Lab. Features of the website will include fhe following elements: A Multiple Intelligences approach to arts-based learning • MI theory provides a conceptual framework for the project, presenting the arts as cognitive domains in which intelHgence is apphed through solving problems and making products of significance to the culture. • MI provides a democratic model of education in which all students are enabled to learn in ways most appropriate to their strengths and backgrounds. At the same time, it fosters comprehensive education in which students develop not only intellectual, but personal and social qualities necessary for them to become good citizens in a democracy. • MI based curricular structures facilitate the integration of arts and academic subject matter while incorporating authentic assessment. Arts-Based Curricular Material • Arts based lesson plans and curricular units will be organized according to grade level and subject areas. These will include lessons built around creative writing, dance, drama, music and visual arts as applied to the full range of academic subject matter. Arts activities apphed to such important areas as conflict resolution, character development and community service will also be available. (BBBa • Lesson plans, units and activities wiU be presented in a conunon format dehneating: project goals, introductory information, materials, procedures and performance-based assessment criteria. • Diverse examples of student work, as well as references from professional artists, musicians, etc., will be provided as references. Arts-Education Resources • Bibliographic references to books, periodicals and otiier MteraUire that provide furtiier examples of arts-based instmction, as well as research demonstrating the importance of the arts to various aspects of education. • Arts-education websites hsted with brief descriptions and hyperhnks to the sites. • Bulletin Boards and Chat Rooms which teachers can pose questions or discuss arts- based curriculum with peers and university based arts educators. In these ways, Black Mountain Arts Education Website will significantiy contribute to Cahfomia's nationally recognized technology-based educational reform agenda. Most important, tiie project helps teachers throughout the state use tiie arts and multiple intelligence-based curricular approaches to help all their students learn. In 1852 the State of Cahfornia amended school law requiring teachers "to provide their pupils a practical education steeped in the Three R's," their duties also included moral training. Outlined in the 1871 Annual Report to the California Commissioner of Education, it states: "To endeavor to impress upon the minds of their pupils the principles of morality, trath, justice, and patriotism; to teach them to avoid idleness, profanity and falsehood; to instruct them in the principles of a free govemment, and to ti'ain them up to the comprehension of the rights, duties and dignity of American Citizenship." The Three R's are essential, but do not forget the A—the Arts. Do California schools still adhere to these virtues or do they now pander to social justice diversicrats, "—A particular habitue' of academia whose career is built largely through the manipulation of diversity programs", and to the teachers unions (CalSTRS/ATF)? John Kennedy said... "Today, as always, art knows no national boundaries. Genius can speak at any time, and the entire world will hear it and listen. Behind the storm of daily conflict and crisis, the dramatic confrontations, the tumult of pohtical struggle, the poet, the artist, the musician, continue the quiet work of centuries, building bridges of experience between peoples, reminding man of the universahty of his feelings, desires and despairs, reminding him that the forces that unite are deeper than those that divide. Thus, art and the encouragement of art are pohtical in tiie most profound sense, not as a weapon in the stmggle, but as an insUiiment of understanding of the futility of stmggle between those who share man's faith. Aeschylus and Plato are remembered today long after the triumphs of imperial Athens are gone. Dante outiived the ambitions of 13"^- century Florence. Goethe stands sei^nely above the politics of Germany, and I am certain that after the dust of centuries has passed over our cities, we too, will be remembered not for our victories or defeats in battie or in pohtics, but for our contribution to the human spirit. It was Pericles' proudest boast that, politically, Athens was the school of Hellas. If we can make our country one of the great schools of civihzation, then on that achievement will surely rest our claim to the ultimate gratitude of mankind. Moreover, as a great democratic society, we have a special responsibility to tiie arts, for tiie arts is tiie great democrat calling forth creative genius from every sector of society, disregarding race or rehgion or weaitii or color. The mere accumulation of wealtii and power is available to the dictator and the democrat alike. What freedom alone can bring is the liberation of tiie human mind and spirit which finds its greatest flowering in the free society. Thus, in our fulfillment of these responsibihties toward the arts ties our unique achievement as a free society." In tiie increasingly global, interconnected and technically accelerated future, BMP's ultimate goal is to develop a new model of schooling (cyber School of Hellas). This is fundamental as a result of advances in technology linked with our evolving understanding of intelhgence and learning. Schools have traditionally been places of information acquisition where teachers provided facts and figures to relatively passive students. With the Intemet and CD-ROM's abihty to provide more information than a teacher could dole out in a hfetime, schools must become more active environments designed for information management and application. Simultaneously, students must leam to use this information in creative ways with the help of teachers who now serve as facilitators, guides and co-learners. Black Mountain Productions feels strongly that all children should be given the chance to fulfill their creative potential. This can only be accomplished tiirough arts education. For too many decades, children in rural areas or those who are socially or economically disadvantaged have been deprived of this right and opportunity. Our project, when fully in place, will provide all children with the access and the opportunity regardless of economics, geographic or social strata. Thomas M.

USDOE Review of OPEN EYES IS o • < .L Thomas Mark Powers - Personal Statement In 1994,1 collaborated with Harvard Project Zero to create the OPEN EYES Project. It is a Harvard-based Multiple Intelligence/Arts curriculum and is ( - inspired by the pedagogical philosophy of Josef Albers that he developed at the Bauhaus and Black Mountain College. The OPEN EYES Project is a consortium of educators and artists dedicated to creating a "level playing field" for all our children. I have dedicated my life to helping "gifted" disadvantaged children realize their full potential. Tliis can only be accomplished tiirough education. For too many decades, children in rural areas or those who are socially or economically disadvantaged have been deprived of this right and oppormnity. My OPEN EYES Project is an innovative program which reveals and removes the hidden barriers to fairness in the classroom and will provide all children with this opportunity, regardless of economics, geographic or social strata. OPEN EYES offered an excellent multicultural approach for tearing down prejudicial barriers and creating an interactive dialogue between ethnic factions throughout Califomia and the Nation. We accomplished this through the Internet, video conferencing and multi-media presentations. Many of our OPEN EYES consortium member schools were predominately Asian, African American, Hispanic, and Native American. In 1996,1 had the privilege to teach in one of the first global classrooms. My class in Los Angeles was simultaneously linked, via fiber-optics, with students in London, Jerusalem and Pittsburg. The interaction between the ^ , students was incredible. For many students, it was an eye-opening experience. Based in the Arts, OPEN EYES appreciates and values cultural diversity above all else and does not discriminate because of gender, race, national origin, color, disability or age. Respectfully, Thomas Mark Powers When power leads man towards arrogance, poetiy reminds him of his limitations. When power fiarrows the areas of man's concern, poetry reminds him ofthe richness and diversity of his existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses. For art establishes the basic human truths which must serve as the touchstones of our judgment. The artist becomes the last champion ofthe individual mind and sensibility against an intrusive society and officious state. John F. Kennedy's Address to Amherst College, October 1963.

Help center Emai) opiiorjs Report spam UC April 7,2011 The Honorable Edmund Gerald "Jerry" Brown Jr. Governor, State of California State Capitol Sacramento, CA 95814 Dear Governor Brown, Through the urging and support of many ofmy fellow Artists and Educators, I respectfully submit my letter of intent to become the next Director of the California Arts Council (CAC) I would look forward to tiie opportunity this position would give me to encourage tiie appreciation, study and presentation of the Arts in tiie State of Califomia. The talents and skills tiiat 1 would bring to the CAC Directorship are my creativity and my "abihty to solve unsolvable problems via outside the box approaches". I am an accomplished arts advocate as well as a proficient hstener. Additionally, I am a strong behever in collaboration and have the abihty to network, promote my agenda and provide you with a measurable result for the dollars invested in CAC. If you have reviewed the informal apphcation package I submitted to you in January, you will see how I took the circa 1910 Merrium Apartments and turned them into an icon for historical preservation in midtown Sacramento. Among the notable buildings I was able to help save from demohtion was the newly renovated East End Lofts on 15* & J' Streets (Governor Brown's residence). I also created a teleconferencing system utilizing borrowed components that could do what a $500-milhon-information highway could not do, which is cost effectively communicating coast to coast in real-time. The letters of support from SOCA Treasurer, Dennis Neufeld and Apple Computer's Dr. Barry Adams, reference these projects. Although I have excelled in many areas such as education, technology and community activism I am first and foremost an Artist and Painter. In fact, ifl am appointed CAC director I would be' the first Am^r to hold tiiat position. My artistic credentials include degrees in fine arts from North Carolina School of the Arts, Maryland Institute College of Art and Laguna College of Art +Design (reference my artwork). hi 2004 a study came out entitied THE ARTS: A COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE FOR CALIFORNIA II. The study generated several impressive statistics regarding California's State of the Arts, which is a remarkably vibrant economic engine that: • Adds some $5.4 billion to the State's economy • Supports more than 500,891 jobs • Generates nearly $300 million in State and Local taxes • Ranks California as the nation's leader with more aits-related businesses and more people employed m die creative industries than any other state (98,949 companies). 6^ hnpressive indeed, but how has Califomia's State Arts agency, fhe CAC contributed to our S?s success in ihe Arts. Unfortunately, only Orwellian black^hiters (WackwM^^^^^^^ ability to beheve tiiat black is white... and to forget tiiat one has ever believed the contrary ) can look at tiie State ofthe Arts numbers and see any CAC mput While the stahsUcs show tiiat tiie A^s clearly pay their own way in Cahfomia, the State seems to only provide hp service m retum for the $300 million the Arts pay in State and Local taxes. Here are the black and white numbers. The State of Califomia currently spends less flian six cents per Califomian on die Aits. The current CAC budget is only $5.4 million and Cahfomia, tiie World's 8th largest economy, now ranks 50* in tiie nation for per capita arts support. To make matters worse, the lion's shai'e of Califomia's arts and cultural tax revenue m tiie coffers of Municipal Cultural Arts Commissions; and tiie CAC has only marginal oversight of what has now become an estimated $118 million discretionary fund tiiat would meet tiie budgetary allocation needed to create an Arts Endowment. Questions as to the competency of those mnning the CAC abound. Over tiie course of the last 7 years, they have managed to lose over 80% of thek funding. A sti'ong, creative leader with a clear vision is called for if the CAC is to survive and prosper. I see two options for the CAC: one is to continue as a venue for the distribution of Arts License Plates and political patronage or it can become a viable arts agency which would effectively educate our children, extend tiie arts to every Califomian and, most importantiy, become a powerful vehicle for generating revenue for Califomia's economy. I have a plan for creating a viable, effective and financially autonomous arts council. The arts are the great equalizer calling forth creative genius from every sector, disregarding race or religion or wealth or gender. Califomia has a large diverse population and many under- represented cultures have not been featured in public art. It is time to move away from the status quo and encourage creativity, as well as representation of all Californians. In 19961 had the privilege through The Role ofthe Artist in the Digital Age Conference, io teach in one of the first global classrooms. My class in Los Angeles was simultaneously linked, via fiber-optics, with students in London, Jemsalem and Pittsburg. The interaction between the students was incredible. For many of my students, it was an eye-opening expenence. The CAC could access at least $300 million in arts capitalization if it was properly directed so as to fully realize its tax revenue generating potential. That would be more than ttie 20 times of tiie curtent CAC budget needed to create an Arts Endowment. If I am appointed Duector of CAC, 1 would utihze my $5.4 million budget to: • Make the CAC self sufficient tkough the ^eation of an Arts Endowment. • Restructure and expand the CAC to become the Califomia Endowment for the Arts and empower the State Arts Agency to capitahze Federal, State and Municipal Arts and Culture Funding, (also includes CDE Arts Education appropriations). • Generate funding for the CAC by partnering witii the $300 billion higher education industry and online education companies to create cyber campuses utihzmg BRAC mihtary bases,(Presidio, Fort Ord and MCAS El Toro). ^'L th • Create a consortium of artists, educators and technologists to mn tiie CAC. • Restore fhe Arts as a major element in education. Upon graduation from Maryland histitute. College of Art m 1978, my dream was to retum home to Cahfomia and leam tiie Califomia Palette from UC Davis Art Professor Wayne Thiebaud. I moved to Sacramento in August of 1980 and rented a small artist loft over tiie Luna Cafe on 16 & N Streets. As I walked around Capitol Park for the first time, I will never forget looking up at State Building No. 1 and seeing the words carved into its granite fagade, "Men to Match My Mountains." As Califomia faces its Darkest Hour, we need Californians who will dedicate themselves to the task of restoring our beloved State to once again being, truly, tiie Golden State. I would welcome the oppormnity to climb that mountain with you. Sincerely, Thomas Mark Powers When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations.

It is direct and honest, so if I am appointed councllmen, everyone knows the score and what to expect. I am not working for them and the man behind the curtain. I am working for my fellow Carlsbad kids and I will Initiate a program/paradigm to fix our broken schools. When i was 18 years old, I met the great Bauhaus artist and educator Josef Albers, I asked him: how do I become a great artist? He simply said: "Open da Eyes Tommy" which means expand your consciousness so you can handle the challenges that you will confront in life. The average Carlsbad kid is facing life's challenges with no better than a sixth grade education (California ranks 46th in the "Quality of Education"). I have strived my whole life to overcome my Carlsbad education. The City Council Is also trying to become a global player with about the same education equivalency. OPEN EYES is what I did in Sacramento, I came in and opened eyes (expanded the consciousness) so the city could begin to revitalize their blighted urban core through artistic/creative solutions. I have known Mark Packard since I was 6 years old and I have never liked him nor has he liked me. So be it, His family was on the other side ofthe fence from mine over the development of La Costa back in the 1960s. He has blocked all my efforts to help my hometown through my artistic gift. So he needs to be exposed as a Barbarian at the Gate ("a barbaric race of men with immense and tutelary power, which takes upon itself alone to secure their fortune and watch over their gate,") He needs to recuse himself from the selection process. After 8 month you can run me out of town, just like the Hong Kong developers and Chicago/La Costa Outfit did in Sacramento in 1988 (smile). I need to be warming Farah's seat by tomorrow's meeting.

I love the City of Carlsbad. Every day, I am proud to call this beautiful city my home. There is no nicer place to live, recreate, and raise a family. Serving on the City Council of this world-class city would be a tremendous honor. The City of Carisbad is a highly-effective institution. I have followed the city's business for years and have always marveled at the Council's ability to make the right decision, every time. On so many fronts, the City serves as a model for other public agencies. It must continue to lead the way. With my experience in state and local government and with a commitment to public service, I can "hit the ground running" and immediately begin serving the public. Many years ago (approximately 2005), I was able to sit down with and interview former Mayor Bud Lewis for a column i was writing for the North County Times. Mayor Lewis' insights as to how an effective city council operates - like a team, he said, that sinks or swims together, with the Mayor as serving as "coach" - has been an Inspiration to me ever since. Additional Information; Please provide anv additional information vou wish covering vour qualifications, interest, community/professional organization or training related to this appointment. My wife, Ruby, and I have three children, all of whom attend local public schools. My son Andrew, age 17, is a junior and a member of the marching band at Carlsbad High School. My middle child, Spencer, age 12, is in the 6* grade at Valley Middle School and recently got straight A's on his report card. My daughter Mia, age 7, loves gymnastics and dance and is in the second grade at Kelly Elementary. My wife works as a clinical trials software tester for Edwards Life Sciences. My parents, Ian and Susan, live nearby in the Ocean Hills neighborhood of Oceanside, My father is a retired Santa Monica Police sergeant. I regularly swim and practice yoga at a local 24 Hour Fitness. As a Senior Deputy County Counsel at the County of Orange, and on behalf of the Orange County Sheriff- Coroner, I regularly handle personnel matters involving sustained allegations of deputy sheriff misconduct. I have repeatedly defended the Orange County Registrar of Voters in election lawsuits. (In fact, two landmark decisions involving cases I handled for the Registrar of Voters were published by the Court of Appeal.) I regulariy advise the Board of Supervisors on Brown Act compliance. Outside of my work; I have prosecuted several public interest lawsuits against local agencies. For example, in 2007, when the Board of Trustees at MiraCosta College awarded its former Superintendent/ President a $1.6 million severance package, I challenged the illegal buy-out in court and won a judgment requiring the former college administrator to repay to the college the consideration she had received under the illegal settlement agreement. 7^ More recently when the Chief Executive Officer of the TriCity Healthcare District posted securiW guards ^s^e of e dTs ri^ Board meeting room to prevent a duly-elected member of t e Board of D,rectors from palipating in closed session meetings, I brought a successful public interest lawsuit and obtamed a w^it of mandate compelling the healthcare district to readmit the duly-elected member to Board s closed session meetings. I also have a record of accomplishment as a member of the Board of Trustees at MiraCosta College. 1 au hored and the Board adopted, a new policy prohibiting Trustees and designated employees from e eiv ng g fts from persons doing business, or seeking to do business, with the college. S,nce my uno 0 ed election in 2012, the Board has held the line on faculty salanes =f " redirected the administration to pursue cost-effective state-of-the-art modular solutions to address the otg distrkt's facilities needs, and redrawn Trustee area boundaries, moving from an at-large election yter^ to a system of district elections. On behalf of my colleagues on the Board, 1 successfully negotiated a new contract (with no salary Increases) with the districts Superintendent/President. Prior to joining the MiraCosta Board of Trustees, 1 taught two semesters of Business 140 (Business Law) at MiraCosta College. In 2005-2006,1 wrote a regular opinion column for the Worth County Times. While an evening student at the McGeorge School of Law (from where I graduated in 2000 in the top ten Tercent of my faw school class), 1 worked in the California State Assembly as a Legislative Aide to Assemblyman Brooks Firestone (R-Santa Barbara). When Assemblyman Firestone elected to not seek a third term, 1 joined the Fair Political Practices Commission and served as the Commission s Legislative Colmator. in that position, 1 developed an expertise in the Political Reform Act, the law that covers campaign finance, financial conflicts of interest, and gift limitations. If appointed to the City Council, I would Immediately resign my position as a member of the Board of Trustees of the MiraCosta Community College District. For additional information, please see a copy of my resume (attached). LEON J.

Dming my Council campaign, I walked the streets of Carlsbad for the better part of a year. I met and surveyed local residents, homeowners and business owners. I was able to assess what the population of Carlsbad really looked for m a civic leader. The characteristics that were most talked about, were: Honesty, Open and Responsive Govemment, and a Caring Nature. These are all characteristics that I believe in, truly possess and will strive to uphold. As a veteran and operator of small busmesses for more than a decade, I understand what it takes to be a leader and to lead by example. I've leamed what it takes to make tough decisions and how to back up your decision with logical and factual reasoning. I've been taught what it takes to make initially unpopular decisions, but ultimately is in the best interested for those ai'ound you. I will use what I have leamed to improve our community and not shy away from decisions that are necessary and prudent. As a business operator in the Village of Carlsbad, I have a chance to speak with local residents on a daily basis. Most are always up for a community discussion and enjoy exchanging views and ideas. My position affords me the opportunity to have two fingers on the pulse of this city, particularly in the village. To me, this is not just an eight month commitment. It is a civic responsibility that carries a lot of weight and responsibility. It takes someone that is willing to dedicate themselves to the City of Carlsbad. In 2010,1 believe I showed this community that I have that dedication. I spent the time, energy and resources necessary to make a run at a City Council seat. I participated in every candidate forum and debate, enabling the citizens of our community the opportunity to hear what my vision was. I was rewarded with 6,528 votes, although it wasn't enough to be elected to a seat, it was well worth the effort. At the end ofthe day, your decision is based on the needs of OUR community. I honestly hope to have the opportunity to make a positive impact on the residents of Carlsbad, the business owners and the Carlsbad City Govemment. ^6 INTRODUCING ADAM J.

Arnold I am applying for the vacant seat on the Carlsbad City Council because I believe I am the best qualified contender for the job. Through my work as a Planning Commissioner and as a member of the U-T Editorial Board, I understand the workings of Carlsbad's city government both from the inside and from the outside. I believe Carlsbad is the best-run city in San Diego, fiscally prudent and ever-cognizant ofthe economic challenges that may lie ahead, and I would like to see the city continue on that path. I believe we need a strong, smart, voice on the City Council with the proven ability to work well with others through both compromise and collaboration - as well as the conviction of his or her principles, which are in line with those of the mayor and the rest of the council. Six years ago I ran for City Council and fmished fourth in a six-way race. I was a novice, but the campaign provided me with a wonderful and valuable plunge into city politics. I soon got to know the players, the path, the policies and the procedures, that have made Carlsbad great, and have since immersed myself in the community, working with the Rotary Club of Carlsbad and then winning appointment to the city Planning Commission in early 2011, a position fi'om which I resigned in February 2013 to join the Editorial Board of the U-T San Diego. I am a native of San Diego who has lived in Carlsbad since May 1994.1 am a proud and committed resident who has spent a life in community service, coaching youth sports when my kids were little and later assuming various leadership positions at my children's school, St. Patrick Catholic School, and the YMCA's Adventure Guides father-and-son program. To this day, I remain involved on that level: I have returned for a second term as President of the schoors Parent-Teacher Group (my youngest son. Hunter, is now in sixth grade) and am leading the Trail Blazers program for the Y. I have been manied nearly 23 years to Diana, and have three sons - aside from Hunter, I have Conner, almost 16, and Justin, 18, both students at Cathedral Catholic High School. I have a binding love for my city and the passion to help lead it; since moving my magazine to a home-based operation, I no longer have to travel to Orange County and work out of my home in Carlsbad, which affords me plenty of time for my councii duties. I humbly ask for your support to allow me to fulfill my dream of public service and work alongside you in writing Carlsbad's next chapter.

We have lived in many different cities prior to moving to Carlsbad, but this is the first one we can honestly call a community. There has been a tremendous foundation laid by Bud Lewis, Matt Hall and the previous City Council members. My intent Is to build on that foundation not break it apart. That doesn't mean I don't have ideas or resolve. Although I think it is more important to continue the synergy that has turned Carlsbad into the standard of well-planned and well-run communities. Working on teams is a strength of mine and one that I would look forward to on this council. Continuing to draw more businesses to Carlsbad and in turn more affordable housing to keep the employees here would be a focus throughout my tenure on the City Council. Working toward the ultimate goal of making this a truly livable streets community would also be high on my agenda. And although Legoland has done their part in attracting tourism to the city there Is still much work to do to espouse the virtues of Carlsbad for a vacation destination. An initiative begun at Jefferson Elementary School called MOTION, Fitness for the body, mind and spirit, that all kids participate in before classes in the morning is a concept I would like to see rolled out to all elementary schools. My 30 years of experience in the business sector centered on operations and fiscal management will serve me well as a member ofthe City Council. In the communitv mv volunteer efforts currently are: - Vice-Chair on the Traffic Safety Commission - School Site Council member at Aviara Oaks Elementary - City Stuff volunteer at AOE - Founder and Race Director of the Carlsbad Grand Prix and Carlsbad Family Fun Ride - Board of Directors of Swami's Cycling Club. One of southern California's largest dubs and a 501(c)3 organization - FNL football coach for 1"* and a"** graders In addition to the Traffic Safety Commission, I am prepared to drop or hand over any other of my endeavors that might be considered a conflict of interest.

We love the Carfsbad community," stated Fred Muir, long-time Aviara resident and active community leader. He, his wife, Camilla, and their three children, Jack, Alexandra and Dylan, have made a life in Carlsbad that includes taking advantage of all tiie area has to offer- hiking and cycling trails, the beach and the many shopping and dining options. According to Fred, the wonderful school district is another reason the family settled in Carlsbad. The Muir children attend Aviara Oaks Elementary (AOE) and Fred and Camilla are happy to volunteer there as much as possible. In fact, Fred just finished teaching the AOE third graders about Carisbad history, its government and businesses tiirough a program called GitySUjff. The CityStuff program is a partnership with the City of Carlsbad and Junior Achievement and engages children v/ith hands-on lessons about how citios work. In addition to his involvement at AOE and with his children's various sports teams and activities, Fred is also a cornerstone in the Carlsbad community "With budget cuts and overall economic difficulties these past years, volunteerism is more important than ever. When 1 see a need,! try to fill it," explained Fred. Two of his volunteer passions are for Swami's Cycling Club and the Traffic Safety Commission. Swami's Cycling Club is one of the hosts of the upcoming Inaugural Grand Prix of Cycling, and Fred is the event director for this exerting event scheduled for Sept. 7 and 8. Fred also serves as the commissioner for the Traffic Safety Commissran. This group works to keep the roads safe for pedestrians and cyclists through road Improvements, such as widening and buffering bike ianes, as well as safety awareness initiatives. When Fred is not volunteering oi' hftting the road on his bike, he can be found spwiding time with his family. "We are members of La Costa Resort, so we spend a lot of time at the pools, gym and restaurants thei'e. Ffsppin' Pizza. Islands and Rubio's are aiso hosts of Muir family dinners when we go out," related Fred. Regardless of whetiier Fred is dining af. a local eateiy, organizing a community event or running along the beach, one thing is certain: he arvd his family love tfie citizens and community of Carlsbad!

My whole life has been spent living and working in this city, and now I'm raising my two young boys here. In Carlsbad there is a culture of opportunity, responsibility, and safety that i grew up with, and that I have a passion for instilling in future generations. I've been involved in my community since I was a young woman. Several years ago, a terrible crime happened to my family. A horrible injustice was perpetrated upon me that I could not let stand. I went public and I went to my legislators. In 2012, a bi-partisan bill was unanimously passed in California as a result of my case that will ensure no other crime victim will ever have to endure the same treatment I did. I fought for that law despite the fact that it does not change the outcome of my own case. It simply was the right thing to do. The experience of passing that legislation made me realize that I have more to give. I want to help my fellow citizens. I am tough. I am an effective leader. I have been onthe Board of the Carlsbad Republican Women Federated for 16 years. I was elected to two different terms as President. I led that large organization for four years. I've been an investment money manager for twenty years with the largest brokerage firms on Wall Street. The more responsibilities I take on, the more I feel capable of accomplishing. I have the resources, the will, and the energy to be an effective member of City Council. I have common sense. I have an extremely qualified background In business and finance. I'm a mother raising young children like so many in our city are. And finally, I have the life experience to be a thoughtful voice on this City Council.

Ifs time for me to give back to my commimity. I have lived in Carisbad for over 13 years. During that time I have assisted tiie Mayor and Coundl members on subjects upon which I had specific knowdedge, usualiy water. Now that I am retired, having been in govemment service for over 30 years, I feel I can help the Coundl continue to malce Carisbad a great place to live, work, and visit. I can bring to the Coundl decades of experience dealing with employee unions; special districts; and city, county, state and federal government staffs and elected offidals. As a Registered Civil Engineer, Planner and former General Manager of two water districts, I feel comfortable working with all of these groups. As I have explained in more detail in the attached "Getting from Silos to Solutions/' my philosophy is one of being inclusive and working with ali parties to reach mutually beneficial solutions. The city of Carisbad has had and continues to have exceptional leadership in Councils and staffs, past and present. We have a vibrant city that is recognized in the county for being well-planned and forward-thinking. I want to be part of that; I want to continue to make Carlsbad tide preferred destination for businesses, families, and visitors. Fourteen years ago, when my family was considering a move from East County to North County, my wife asked if we could move to Carisbad. She had fallen in love witil this city over the years when we visited on weekends and short day trips. Luckily, we were able to make that move and have enjoyed every day of our time here. I want to help the Council make sure tiie city continues to provide that kind of experience to future visitors, workers and residents. We have a great city and I would like to be part of the team that continues to help the city continuously improve in the future. I look forward to serving the citizens of Carisbad. Keith Lewinger ''Getting From Silos to Solutions'' A Working Philosophy by Keith Lewinger We have all been there. We are responsible for finding a solution to a complex issue involving public agency vs. public agency, public agency vs. private company, or management vs. labor, etc. only to hear the other side's responsible party say, "That's someone else's issue, we can't discuss that." For instance, you may have a water storage capadty issue. A neighboring agency may have a water supply issue or even a wastewater disposal issue. Viewed separately, as "isolated silos," tiiese separate problems may have mutually exclusive and very expensive solutions. However, if you eliminate the political positioning and tear down the silos, there may be mutually advantageous solutions that may never have been apparent before. The potential savings in time and litigation costs, not to mention the ability to implement cost-effective regional or sub- regional solutions, can be staggering. In these times of dwindling resources and increased expenses in local government, our citizens expect us to be open to and, in fact, search out innovative solutions to complex problems. They expect us to explore innovative lower-cost solutions to complex regional and sub-regional problems with our neighboring agencies. It's your choice: you stay in your silo and come up witli all the reasons why a certain solution cannot move forward or you look at the issue from a new perspective and implement innovative solutions. You will either be known as a bureaucrat or a public servant. I choose to be a public servant I have spent over 40 years in the water and wastewater industry focusing on negotiations with multiple public agencies, private companies and employees witii an emphasis on finding "outside- the-box" solutions that benefit all the parties. One of the first steps in the process is tearing down the silos. By coordinating ali of their interests, we get all the parties to recognize that there is a direct benefit to them in finding a solution to the problem. f have helped negotiate numerous agreements among many different parties, including labor unions, special districts, dties, the state of California, and federal agencies. I have helped negotiate agreements involving labor contracts, changes in service area boundaries, groundwater conjunctive use projects, recycled water supply and use, agency consolidations, water supply development, and wastewater system capadty. I am a registered Civil Engineer and a Certified Planner in the state of California. I have been General Manager of two special districts, both providing water, wastewater, and recycled water semces, aM also mrrmiif sit on the Boards of Directors <Nf ilie San Diego County Water Audtorily and the M<3tropoliLtaii Water District of Southem C^alifontia. Contact Information: Keith LewiuKer Phone • ' ' Cell • Carisbad, CA 92009 eMail: MMMMMHWMk R£SUM£ EXPERIENCE: 1999 to 2011: General Manager. Fallbrook Pubiic Utility District. Genial Manage of one of til^ county's t<^ agricultural districts. With a staff of 71, the District provides potable and reclaimed water service to over 10,000 customers, half of whom are agricultural. The district also qperates a wastewater tieatment plant providing tertiary effluent to irrigation customers both within and outside the district. The district is currently negotiatmg agreements with Camp Pendleton to jointly develop a 13,500 acre- foot^year conjunctive use project in the Santa Margarita River. Retired July 2011. 1989 to 1999: General Manager. Otav Water District. General Manager of one of the largest water districts in San Diego County. Otay Water District, with a staff of over 160, is responsible for potable aM reclaimed water service to over 30,000 metered customers and a service area of over 128 square miles in southeast San Diego County. In addition, the District operMes an advanced waste^vater treatment plant that reclaims 100% of the tertiary-treated water it produces. Wldi a $25 million operating budget, Otay's rates wane among die lowest in the county. Additionally, its $20 million per year capital improvement program (CIP) was fiilly master planned through ultimate deveiopment. The CIP was fiinded throi^h a combination of Annexation fees, Capacity fees and borrowing using both fixed aiad variable rate bond debt. These various forms of financing ensured that each end user paid his fair share of lhe cost of facilities. Over the nine years while GM, the District entered into many joint use agreements with neighboring agencies to take fiill advantage of regional l^ilities with excess capacity and share in the use of expensive equipment. These agreements saved Otay in excess of $100 million in new capital facilities and equipment while securing a reliable supply of water for future development. The most recent of these agreements was with die City of San Diego. This agreement provided for delivery of up to 20 MGD of treated water to Otay at less than noimal rates. This one agreement will save Otay in excess of $50 million. Otay and the Helix Water Districts constructed a 4.1 acre $3 million Xeriscape Conservation Garden to educate our customers regarding the efficient use of irrigation water. The District also executed a lease agreement with a golf course developer to build and operate a golf course on open space land owned by the District. 1980-1989: Assistant Director of Planning. Irvine Ranch Water District. Ta^ involved managem^ of a staff^ of 21 planners, engineers, and tedinical si^port ^ personnel.

I would like to be appointed to City Council to work with members of our community in this forum and collaborate with city leaders to transform innovative ideas into measureable city successes. As a former legislative staffer for the California State Assembly and a trained policy analyst, I have the experience necessary to develop and manage the cit/s public policy needs. I currently teach Political Science on a part-time basis for our local community colleges and have the time and energy to dedicate to our City Council. 1 hope to work with the council, leaders, and community members to continue to foster the values that have resulted in the protection of natural landscapes and dedicated open-space. Together we can plan and prepare for the vital concerns of drought, sustainable business development, and population growth in our city. As a tourist destination and more recently, a hub for biotech, Carlsbad serves a variety of hospitality and business interests. I believe that we can develop and implement policies that will continue to boost the local economy and bring long-term growth in the life sciences sector. This growth will in turn fuel the service and hospitality Industry that provides both residents and visitors with a host of options for entertainment and relaxation. I would like to serve on the Carlsbad City Council because I have an interest in the future of Carlsbad as 1 plan to reside and raise my family here. I feel that it would be a great honor to serve in this position and represent our residents and our city. Carlsbad is clean and beautiful.

Piease expfaln why you want to be appointed to aty Council: A separate sheet may be attached. I came to tiiis area in 1975 and in 1983 deliberately selected Carlsbad as my permanent home and tiie place where I would raise my family. Then, it was a much smaller town; a classic Soutiiem Califomia ocean-front community witii a casual lifestyle, miles of open beach, fresh air and year- round sunshine and virtually no traffic. It was an easy place to love, and the schools were reputed (deservedly) to be excellent. Altiiou^ the latter part of my career took me traveling extensively, Carlsbad remained unquestionably home. We live today in the same house we bought in 1983 and tiiere is not much chance of us ever leaving. About a year ago, foitified by my tiien.-recent Carlsbad, ^.cadamy experience, I approadied several City Coundl members and certain city staff p^sonael concerning die condition of some of our beadi and beadi front areas. Somewhat to my surprise, tiie ideas w<3:e positively received and I was enciMiraged to make a foonM pres^,atiott to die Council in full sessimi. I found tiiat by proposing solutions for tiiose topics, I had struck a resonant chord within tiie Council and echoed the preferred recreational desires ef many of Carisbad's residents. Last wedc I was notified that a budget autiiorization has been made to begm addressmg some of tiiose issues. Altiiou^ it was a fairly small victory, apparaitly an mdividual CAN make a difiference in this city. I wi]^ to see Carisbad recover and retain the sense of community and the quality of life tiiat I discovered here. My personal intent is simple: I wish to contribute to making Carisbad an even better place to live and work. I carry no baggage; bring no pre-set agenda. While I lack previous experience m public service, I can offer useful skills for dealmg with large (and sometimes reluctant) organizations, a well-developed sense of responsibility and a strong desfre to pay back mto the community tiiat has given me so much. As an engineer, I am a builder. Addressing the need for improvements along tiie beach forced me to consider tiie entfre infrastmcture of Carlsbad's beach front. Quality oftiie surroundings, facilitated access, people movement, trafiSc management, ease of paridng, etc., etc., all become mterrelated as Carlsbad continues to grow and attract more visitors. If selected, I would work to integrate those issues so as to compete economically with our neighbors, assure tiie viability ofthe Village and enhance tiie attractiveness of our city as a whole. ^ Additionai Information: l^ease provide any additional Information you wl^ covering your qualifications, Interest, community/professional organization or training related to this appointment.

He has worked In the office of Mayor Susan Golding, In Meg Whitman's recent Gubernatorial campaign, and served as the Orange County Co-ChaIr ofthe "Entrepreneurs and Innovators Coalition" for the recent Senatorial campaign of Carly Fiorina. Mr. Adams can be reached at: Reason for seeking appointment to city council (^^'i I believe that the current opening on the City Council provides an opportunity for me to give back to the community with both my time and expertise. Given my unique personal background, formal legal and business training, and local business experience, I believe that I will bring a perspective to the Council that Is not fully encompassed at present, and that I will help make more fully comprehensive the Council's understanding of the consequences and effects of the actions it takes, or fails to take. While I believe that I can add a lot to the Council, that alone would not be enough for me to get Involved in politics, local or otherwise, given the destructive nature of the endeavor today. But there are additional factors that I cannot In good conscience continue to complain about, but then fail to act upon. Namely, life is progressively getting more difficult for average people in this country, rather than the opposite. A majority of middle class Americans now believe, with good reason, that their children will not do better than them. It Is harder to run your business, harder to raise your family, harder to earn a living, harder to keep your home, harder to even water your lawn, trim the tree In your front yard, or wash your car in your own driveway. And It continues to get worse each day where despite the absolute incontrovertible incompetence of Government in handling virtually any ofthe functions It undertakes currently, it constantly, ploddingly, resolutely seeks to take on more, to control more of our lives. It becomes Increasingly apparent to those of us not In public service that our elected officials at all levels of govemment either completely fall to perceive this trend, or actively choose to Ignore or further it. They pass legislation, rules and regulations, and edicts that others must live under but which will never apply to themselves, with little understanding or concern for the unintended consequences. They have become complacent and arrogant in their positions. Self-assured that they know what Is best for us, they focus upon taking only the actions necessary to keeping their positions, rather than relying upon and trusting in the determination and ability of the people from whom they derive those positions and authority. Moreover, they have no apparent concern for, or even cursory understanding of, the first principles that the United States was founded upon... limited government, freedom from an overreaching sovereign & individual liberty. They have lost sight ofthe idea that any actions they take must be consistent with, or in furtherance of, those first principles. In short, I do not seek to jumpstart my political career in this position, or to build my resume. Nor do I seek to be a confirming vote for the pet projects of my friends, neighbors, or other Council Members. I do not seek personal fulfillment, or personal enrichment, or an end to boredom. Rather, 1 pledge to be a voice for rational decision consistent with the first principles of limited government, fiscal responsibility and Individual liberty. To that end I hereby respectfully and humbly submit my name for consideration for the Interim City Council Member position. Thank you for your time, for your service, and for your consideration.

Estate Attorney and Real Estate Broker To City Council Members: It is an honor to be able to submit my application for selection to fiii the vacant seat on the City of Carisbad City Council. I have been a resident of Carlsbad since 2005 as my family relocated from Los Angeles in order to establish new roots in a family oriented community and to be part of a dfsCinguiKhed school district - two things that were missing from life in the big city. ! realty kF\ew nothing about Carlsbad aside from visiting the area as a child with my Italian immigrant parents as my father was 3 master tailor and came to see his customers m La Costa. Returnliig to Carlsbad in 2005,! was impressed with Just how well Carisbad grew and developed responsibly, (t (s a beautify! community u^ere both young and old can enjoy the fruits of labor developed over the years from this very O'ty CouncH. Since moving to Carlsbad, I decided to seek out ways in the community where i couki parlay my in-house legal experience as a mortgage banking and credit union attorney at a time when the real estate market meltdown was be^'nnlng to rear its ugly head. As a resuit, i became actively involved as a real estate attorney advisor for HUO's Housing Of^^ortunities Collaborative from 2008 to 2011 In which I provided pro bono legal ad^'ce to distressed homeowners. I received a Certificate of Special Congressional Recognition for my hours of service from Congresswoman Susan Davis, in furtherance of nny passion for serving the community, I was appointed to the San Diego Tax Assessment Appeals Board by the Board of Supervisors of the County of San Diego for Board No. 1, Supervisor Bill Horn's district, in 2008 and still serve to date as needed by the Board. The Assessment Appeals Board is a quasi-judicial body which conducts hearings on property assessment disputes. This particular position has allowed me the opportunity to make a fair, and impartial decision on ali property assessment disputes appealed, between taxpayers and the Assessor's office, in January 2009^ in an effort To help alleviate the San Oiego County Court system with the budget cuts which would impact the much needed judicial services in our community, I was appointed as a Temporary Judge In the North County Small Claims Court to adjudicate small daims matters and have received an Award in 2012 from the Honorable Aaron H. Katz, Supervising Judge, for my service. Aside from my pro bono services within the community, I run two local businesses, a full time law practice and a full time real estate brokerage which continue to serve both legal and real estate needs In Carisbad and surrounding areas. In fact, my Yelp reviews speaks for itself as to my ongoing commitment to help as many customers as possible by providing quality legal advice particularly to the underprivileged who may not otherwise have access to an attorney. In addition to running my businesses, I am a PTA member and parent volunteer at Pacific Rim Elementary where my three daughters attend. Additionally, I am a member of the PacRim Realtor Education Appredation Program to help the school raise funds to support STEAM (Science, Technology, English, Arts & Assistants and MORE). For the past two summers, 1 have also been a proud supporter of the Carlsbad TGIF Jazz in the Parks as a business advertiser in the souvenir program to help with the continued support of the event within our community. Lastly, and most dear to my heart, I have been an advocate for children with spedal needs, patttculady tiiose wrth headog foss. For die past 6 years, 1 have been fcrying to create awareness and understanding for this often underrepresented disability amongst children within the school and with community members. My three daughters are all heanng impaired in varying de^-ees and t^iey ha^ taught me d\e most important lessssns in life - to be passionate, understanding, and selfless and to improve the quaHty of life of those w^io are not so fortunate. •s It is because of t^e vast and extensive experience from both a professional and personal background l^tat I truly brieve I will bring a unique perspective to diis Oty Coundl position.

SIGNATURE: DATE: Please complete application and submit to the following address: City Clerk's Office City Hall 1200 Carlsbad Village Drive Carlsbad, CA 92008 (760)434-2808 clerk@carlsbadca.gov Piease expiain why you waat to be appointed to City Council: I moved to Carlsbad in September 2012 after living in Michigan and Illinois for 19 years. Needless to say I fell in love with the sheer beauty of this magnificent place which I now call home. I have lived in several cities in the US as well as in Asia and Africa before arriving in Carlsbad. So I immediately knew tfiat Carlsbad was a special place. Though not a surfer or a swimmer I felt a sense of connection with the Ocean which was made all the more delightful by the smiling and welcoming faces ofthe residence. Although I have worked in the private sector all my life, I was brought up in a family where service to one's neighbors and community was considered a virtue. "Do unto others as you would have them do to you" was instilled very early on in my life. As such, throughout my corporate and consulting career I had actively taken part in "giving back to the community" efforts and partnerships in Michigan, Illinois and now in Califomia. This ideal is what made me shift careers from engineering to corporate social responsibility and sustainability eleven years ago. I now work with businesses on how to strategize and operationalize domg good while still making profits. The calling to be a public servant has been grovdng in me for some time now. I heeded this call by going back to school and getting a Master of Public Administration degree from Harvard University's John F. Kennedy School of Govemment in 2010. The motto of this great school is "Ask what you can do". Keeping with this tradition many of the school's alumni have gone into public service. I want to be appointed to the City Council because I want to be of service to my community. I recently fmished my contract as Lead Consultant with Infosys Limited. I was looking for an opportunity to serve as a committee or board member with-the city when I happened to see the posting for this position. Given my training and desire to serve it seemed fitting for me to apply for the position. If considered, I will devote 20-25% of my time to the position. Last year, I was at a conference on sustainability where Mayor Matt Hall was present. How do cities become more sustainable will be the paramount question ofthe next decades. How do we become good stewards of our God-given natural resources and of our diverse citizenry are issues that every city should be addressing and diligently working towards attaining. I believe that I could add value in these areas as a City Coimcil member. Apart from these issues, I have an extremely strong business management background as well as over 15 years of experience in spearheading many change and implementation efforts in the areas of quality, compliance, corporate social responsibility and diversity in the manufacturing, retail and tech industries. Currently, I have a consulting and coaching practice, GreenDreamsE, on corporate social responsibility and authentic leadership and a non-profit, GreenDreamsWomen, which supports micro-entrepreneurs in Sri Lanka, where I was born. I also possess excellent communications skills. I have been a key negotiator in my position as Global Compliance Manager at Sears Holdings Coiporation for resolving violations to international standards and have worked with NGOs, govemments and stakeholders to form community and private-public partnerships. My negotiation skills were toher honed by participating in Harvard Law School's Program on Negotiation (PoN) workshop in 2009. Above all, I bring to the table integrity based leadership and a passion to serve my community and my country. If selected I would work my heait out for the people of Carlsbad. Additional Information covering my qualifications, interests, community / professional organization or training related to this position: The biggest asset I bring to this position is my training at one of the best schools for public service in this country. Harvard Kennedy School of (jovenmient. My training at the school has prepared me well for a life as a public servant. I also have access to experts and resources from the school to advice and educate me on subjects and topics that I might need more insight on. I regul^ly keep in touch with classmates who are in other state and local govemments which has been an education in itself Courses that I took at the school include leadership, conflict resolution, private-public-partnerships and negotiations. I am a foundmg member and Chief Operating Officer of the Harvard Kennedy School Community of San Diego which was formed last year. We had a kick-off event with a discussion on "The Priorities for the Next Mayor of San Diego" with Interim Mayor Todd Gloria and City Attomey Jan Goldsmith at the University Club on October 16,2013. As the COO, I was responsible for organizing the event and the event was a resounding success. The Harvard Kennedy School Community of San Diego is a non-profit organization founded to promote mutually beneficial relationships, dialogue on issues of pubUc concem, and civic virtue through the diversity, intellectual curiosity, and sense of service inherent to the alumni community of the Harvard University John F. Kennedy School of Govemment and those with whom they bond in Greater San Diego. A position with the City Council will be complementary to my activity with the HKSCSD. As I have described in the previous section I have worked in the private sector for the majority of my career in the Automotive, Retail and Tech industries. I have a firm grasp of manufacturing practices, global supply chain risks and compliance as well as management systems. As department head I have managed teams of engineers and professionals as well as global teams in based in different time zones. I have a Bachelor of Engmeering in Electronics and Communications Engmeering from the University of Madras in India and a Master in Science in Engineering Management from Westem Michigan University. For further information, I have attached my resume for your consideration here. I have a wide array of interests from reading to politics and public service to spending time in nature. I patronize our local stores and farmers markets with gusto. I am also a member of the Carlsbad Chamber of Commerce. I had recently spent time in my coimtry of birth, Sri Lanka, establishing a non-profit to help women affected by war. I have set up a project in partnership with a local organization there to train women in making and marketing handmade greetmg cards. The income from selling the greetmg cards is the primary source of income for most of these women. I am very interested in micro- entrepreneurs and social ventures. I am eager to work with the city on such efforts as well as developing private-public partnerships with businesses and other entities. I also enjoy mentoring young and mid-career professional women to find their true calling and to work towards realizing their potential. I believe in every human beings potential to be whoever they choose to be. Above all I love my adopted country and my city Carlsbad and wouid like to give back to my community in whatever capacity I am called to serve.

My professional career was in government where I spent 43 years with the State of California. During that time I gained experience in: Work Measurement (budgeting for staffing needs). Contracts (analyst), Personnel (State Personnel Board), Research {Project Director of the Elderly Housing Research Project in collaboration with the Sacramento Housing Authority), Civii Rights (Deputy Civil Rights Officer) Program Outcome Evaluations (reviews of the 58 counties' compliance with Federal requirements) and Regulatory Enforcement (Regional Manager for Community Care Licensing for San Diego and Imperial Counties.) One of my most rewarding moments was when I headed a multi- departmental task force charged with proposing a consolidation of care provider background checks. It had competing interests from the Department of Justice, Education, Social Services, Developmental Services and various legislative and consumer groups. The resulting report was presented with no dissent from any participating entity. Then Assembly Member Tom Woods sponsored legislation promoting the recommendations. It pleases me greatly to be commended as someone able to bring clarity to complex and sensitive discussions In meetings. My experience with State, county and city level challenges has informed my appreciation for the often competing complexities that any government proposal entails.

With the 8 years I've spent living in Belarus after just being born in the United States, and prior to my residence In Californta, had caused me to see just how unruly and unjust a sodeties politics may become If the common dtizen is not induded wilhin its interests. After pditical prosecution, my mother and I, with the help of the American Embassy In Minks fled to the United States. As time passed within my residence in the United States, I began to realize that the people of Eastern Europe and United States were not so different In their dally struggles, both wanted to have a secure foundation for their lives, and the lives of future generations to come. Hdwever the main distinction was the open and free capitalistic democracy ofthe United States compared to the Betarusian dictatorship which suppressed the wants and needs of the general population. Within my residence in Carlsbad I believe I witness the model American city which holds in a gentle balance of a thriving sodety, from whidi derives my goal. With the position within the City Coundl I wish to address the cun-ent issues that affed our city and Its population's, as well as addressing the future generations of our dtlzens, which many fear are underrepresented and unmentioned within our country. My tasks wouid guide me to utilize ali my energy towards keeping Carlsbad in its prosperous state, and most importantly make it a future model American town which will represent the United States by example and success. As I'm applying to ttiis position I wish to represent myself as one ofthe common dtizens of Carlsbad, representing all no matter their status. As in this position I might not be able to be the saver of lives, but I can attempt to do the next greatest feat of improving them for all.

I am registered to vote and reside in the City of Carisbad. I humbly submit for your consideration my application for appointment to fill the current vacancy on the Carisbad City Council. I have no experience holding office - appointed or elected - at any level of government. Nevertheless, I do believe that 1 can make a valuable contribution to the city and its residents and I am deeply committed to serving the community and to contimiing the work that you and your predecessors have undertaken to make Carlsbad fhe wonderful place it is. Among other things, my legal training gives me the ability to step into the position without a great need for any additional training. I am intimately familiar with and have given a great deal of thought to the structui e of our democracy, from tlie U.S. Constitution to federal regulations and state law to local ordinances. I undei'stand how representative bodies fit within this structure and how decisions by these bodies are meant to be made from a procedural standpoint. 1 am an expert at drafting, negotiating and interpreting conti-acts and understanding, interpreting and applying statutes and regulations. As a lawyer, I am committed to tlie highest standards of ethics and protection ofthe public interest, and my values and temperament have been shaped by my dedication to my profession. Moreover, the kind of law I have practiced and the clients I have sei-ved makes me deeply knowledgeable about business issues, particularly those affecting small and medium sized businesses (including how local regulation impacts upon on their operations and future prospects and how to create a favorable economic enviionment to foster giwvth and development). I have worked with businesses that operate in the industries that are the lifeblood of our city and are among its largest employers, including cotmtless technology and biotechnology companies. I care about keeping these businesses here and, if anything, doing even more to foster and improve the conditions that will continue to make Carisbad a hub for innovation and inspired thinking. (I am also a lifelong golfer and I am passionate about keeping our city at the center of that industiy.) Finally, I believe that I can provide a fresh perspective to the Council. My wife and I decided to move back aftei' 13 years away (after graduating from Rancho Buena Vista High School, I spent seven years at Harvard College and Harvard Law School followed by six years as an attorney practicing in Los Angeles) when we learned we were expecting our fii-st child, a daughter who was born at Tri-City Hospital last November. This puts me in a unique position: f am an outsider who cares deeply about what is important to the community because I plan to call it home for the rest of my life. Carlsbad is where my daughter will grow up, and go to school and, hopefully at some point veiy far into the future, choose to start her own family.

Tonight is night that all 38 Carlsbad citizens speak to the City Council about their qualifications to step in to the Council seat vacated by Farrah Douglas. You decided to appoint the new Council Member, rather than costing us thousands upon thousands of dollars to hold an election. Thank you. My message to you is that there are 38 courageous men and women stepping up to the plate to take over this role. It certainly isn't because of the money and probably not for the prestige. It's for the opportunity to use their skills and their knowledge of our city to keep it going strong. Someone to join you In your conviction and someone who has PROVEN that they have those skills and understanding of where Carlsbad heads. One exemplary candidate is Lisa Rodman. Lisa, I do believe, is the only candidate who has gone through numerous public elections as she is a member of the CUSD Board of Trustees. It's also a demanding role and Lisa has proved time and time again that she can do demanding jobs! While there are a few other very strong candidates, we know Lisa works very hard for our city, runs a Carlsbad non-profit organization and is also the President of one of the Carlsbad Rotarys. That's the tip of the iceberg. Lisa Is here to listen and she is readily here to act! Lisa serves all of us in ways known and unknown! Also, while not the most important by any means, it would be appropriate to replace Farrah with another strong female - one who is known by a very large percentage of Carlsbad residents. She is resilient and she can stand up to any potential negativity that may occasionally come the way of the Council. Thank you for your consideration!

Crystal is not only a smart, sawy business-woman, she has also proven to be a powerful advocate for victims escaping domestic \4olence. She quickly leai'ned how to navigate the halls of Sacramento to successfully pass her bill AB 1522 (Atkins) in 2012. Tlicmks to Crystal, injured spouses no longer have to suffer the additionid injustice of paying her abuser alimony. But, let me be clear on one thing. Crystal is not a victim; she's a woman of integrity, and posesses the many talents and insights that would greatly benefit the Carisbad community Some ofthe at- tributes that make her ideal for pubiic service are: her personal ethics, her experience with financ- es in the business world, her compassion for others and ability to act productively on that, and her willingness to have meaningful discussions on hai*d topics. I've seen Crystal successful channel her passion for justice in ways that were both productive and selfless, and I m sure she 11 do the same for the citizens of Carlsbad if given the opporunity. I am a proud supporter of Crystal Harris, a women of substance and a leader.

Dear Honorable Mayor Hall and Council Members, It is my understanding that this Tuesday, you will be considering the applicants applying for the recently vacated city council seat, I ask that you please take note of one very spedal candidate, and that is Ruth Milam. It has been my good fortune to know Ruth for 15+ years, I became acquainted with her via a series of volunteer activities beginning with high school cheerleadlng and the Carlsbad 5000 and moving on to a number of local nonprofits, Ruth is quick to spearhead volunteer committees and rally her fellow workers to get the job done. In fact, if you were to look up volunteer in the dictionary, Ruth's smiling face, would most likely be right there. Ruth is down to earth, calls them like she sees them, and has a grassroots resume that comes from hard work and an earnest commitment to service, her community and has no personal agenda. I think you will find her; • Educated • Up to date • Refreshing and in possession of a great sense of humor! • Reminiscent of Julie Nygaard and Ramona FInilla, which, I think, speaks to her quiet, very persuasive and effective work ethic. Appointments are a unique opportunity for you, as a councii, to make an appointment, on behalf of the citizens of Carisbad. It is unique because you can pick a candidate based on what is best for Carisbad, not based on politics, popularity, and pockett>ooks. It's up to the members of the council to pick one of us, to represent us, and continue to keep Carlsbad at the forefront of innovative and forward thinking ideas, always. She will do the job and won't quit. She may be the best dark horse you've ever bet on. I will personally answer any questions you may have and may contact" me at the number above.

McClellan) Application for Employment with the City of Carlsbad For the position of: Cultural Arts Manager Thomas 'Tommy'' Powers My name is Thomas Mark Powers but since I was a kid, growing up in Carlsbad, I have been called Tommy. I am an artist and a teacher. When my family first came to Carlsbad in the early 60's, the population was 9,000;—60% of those were Hispanic, it is now only 13%. The land in and around Carlsbad was filled with avocado orchards and poinsettia fields. At the heart and soul of this community was the barrio. It was where the community came together. It was where the things that were most important to the community were located: Chase Little League Field, Pine Junior High and the Carlsbad Library. Then came the Orange County developers. The City always seemed to be more interested in what the O.C. developers wanted than what the people of the barrio needed. The O.C. developers had the City build them a $70 million dollar golf course, the most expensive municipal golf course ever built in the United States, but not a dime went to maintain, restore or revitalize the barrio. And with the developers came the La Costa Carpetbaggers; people who turned Carlsbad into a sea of oversized faux Tuscan tract homes and a seemingly endless procession of golf courses. People who were neither from here or ever raised a family here. And those that came here in the 70's and 80's began to call themselves "Old Carlsbad". But they were not. I am "Old Carlsbad" and Connie Trejo is "Old Carlsbad" and Ofie Escobedo and the Martinez family, they are "Old Carlsbad". Those other people were merely opportunists attempting to co-op Carlsbad's legacy for their own profit. I lived in Carlsbad when the city was in its infancy, when everyone knew and cared for everyone else. If we needed a baseball field we all grabbed our shovels and built it. Our "shovel-ready" community projects were not subsidized by the City nor did we have to pass a bond measure to pay for them. More importantly, we had good schools, that were based in the Arts. When I was 18-years-old, I met the great Bauhaus artist and teacher, Josef Albers. I asked him the proverbial young— aspiring—artist question: How do I become a great artist? Albers simply replied: "Open da Eyes ^ Tommy." Which means: expand your consciousness so you can comprehend and meet the challenges you confront. Carlsbad now confronts numerous challenges on a global scale. For 50-years, the City has let the Carpetbaggers, like Irwin Jacobs, create ready-mixed-and-fixed projects like the Crossings, De-Sal plant and the Graduate School. O Currently, no one in the City hierarchy can even begin to understand the complexity of these "Buddied-up" projects, because no one possesses the intuitive consciousness to grasp their matrixes. Both the Crossings and De-Sal plants are already set in multi-million dollar concrete but the Graduate School can be saved! I already have created the curricular rubric/paradigm for the college and I have even designed the campus. ^^^^^ ^^^^ When I was battling the City of Sacramento over their downtown revitalization plan, I lost many battles but I won the War! Then City Manager Doc Wisham, was quoted in the Sacramento Bee stating that: "/ am not so committed to any city project that I would be willing to battle Tommy Powers over something he was passionate about''—I am passionate about Carlsbad! For all too brief a time, Carlsbad, was an idyllic paradise. But this isn't about Paradise Lost, this is about Paradise Sold. In closing—the American orator, Louis Nizer, said that: "A man who works with his hands is a laborer; a man who works with his hands and his brain is a craftsman; but a man who works with his hands and his brain and his heart is an artist." Ifl am selected to be your next councilman, I will work with my hands, my brain and my heart to serve the citizens of Carlsbad. You Can't Get There From Here "Jennifer Bartlett's New York friends are often surprised to leam that she grew up in Southem California. How could that laid-back sybaritic culture (as we tend to view it from the East Coast) have produced an artist ofher energy, analytic rigor and undissembled ambition?

For 10 years I'd devoted my life to painting, living on food stamps, enduring a string of rejections from the accountants who have a stranglehold on the big gallery scene. An now Leo Corelli, the Art Pope of Manhattan, the man who could make a career with a smile (or destroy one with a raised eyebrow) had agreed to give me a one-man show. Goodbye, ketchup sandwiches; hello milk-fed veal. So I had to tell a lie. One little lie. What did it matter? Now the world would have a chance to see Afternoon With Trees and Time/Light #17 and Blue Boogie and Jean-Paul Sarte Takes A Bath. In a few years, who would know? Who would care?

Appeared in San Francisco Chronicle, Fall 1989 Thomas M. Powers SACRAMENTO OLD CITY ASSOCIATION April 5, 2011 The Honorable Edmund Gerald "Jerry" Brovm Jr. Govemor, State of Califomia State Capitol Sacramento, CA 95814 RE: Letter of Recommendation, Thomas Mark Powers Dear Govemor Brown, I strongly urge that you appoint Thomas Mark Pov^ers as your new Director of the Califomia Arts Council. Tom and I have known each other since the late 1980s when I was Planning Chair for the longstanding local historic preservation organization, the Sacramento Old City Association. He was the key preservation advocate fighting first for the National Register apartment building at 14* and K Streets, the Merrium Apartments, and then later for replacement housing projects (artist lofts) in the midtown of Sacramento. Back in the 1980s, citizen advocacy for historic preservation and in-fill housing was in its infancy. He, early on, saw the need to encourage increased residency dovmtovm in order to create that critical mass of people needed to support and advance the arts in Sacramento. He is also a strong advocate for the expansion of the role of arts in the schools while promoting the use of cutting-edge communication techniques and information technologies to facilitate that expansion. Tom is a unique individual. He has the uncanny ability to solve 'unsolvable' problems via 'outside the box' approaches. He is just a resourceful person whose energy, ability and passion have spawned everything from artist loft developments to school programs in the arts. In summary, I have found Tom Powers, basically through his tireless efforts to preserve many of the old buildings of Sacramento, to be a zealous, hardworking artist who exhibits tremendous commitment to personal causes. That commitment to date has resulted in the revitalization of dovmtown Sacramento. That is no small achievement. If he should ever commit such energy and devotion to directing the Califomia Arts Council, then I harbor no doubt he will be a tremendous asset to advancing the Arts in our State. I hope you will give him the opportunity to be interviewed by your selection committee so they can also, first hand, get to experience his creativity and passion for this important public assignment. Yours tmly, Dennis Neufeld Treasurer Sacramento Old City Association (916)446-1054 BOB SYLVA C Flaky croissants have done more for the moral revival of downtown Sacramento than any number of hiyh-rolling widget salesmen with their plas- tic name-tags and hospitality suites at the Holiday Inn. In August of 1981, a venture- some geneticist named Trong Nguyen opened La Boulangerie on the bleak corner of 14th and J streets. The shop boasted fetching blue and white tile, French roast coffee, and a variety of freshly- baked croissants. It's safe to say that up until then most [)eople in Sacramento didn't know what a croissant was, much less how to properly pronounce it with flar- ing nasal affectation. With its equivalent of imported doughnuts. La lioulangeric gave rise to a curious trend: People from all over actually ventured downtown to savor croissants and coffee. The migration of live, washed bodies was most discerni- ble on weekends, when the area heretofore had most closely re- sembled the aftermath of a neu- tron bomb. Ultimately, the amaz- ing success of La Boulangerie prompted a spate of croissant clones and further encouraged the revival of small pockets of the city's urban core from derelict storefronts to cute boutiques. Today, the city of Sacramento, citing lost potential revenue with its current, limited- sized facility, and the economic appeal of the tourist dollar, plans on installing a $40- million, 100,000-square-foot convention cen- ter expansion on the block anchored by La Boulangerie. The project would demolish most everything on the block. Perhaps fear- ing the wrath of God, the city granted a dis- pensation for venerable St. Paul's Episcopal Church at the corner of 15th and J. It's been observed before that this partic- ular block, bounded by 14th and 15th, J and K — along with La Boulangerie, retail out- lets include a popular bookstore, an ice- cream parlor, a gourmet chocolate shop, a camera store, a bar and cafe, a haircutting salon, a small professional office, and a five-story apartment house — is the only block in the entirety of Sacramento's down- town that really "works." Furthermore, it Cutting out the core of Sacramento exemplifies the kind of frothy heterogeneity that urban planners have long advocated for the area's eventual, if ever, revitalization. Indeed, one would have to travel some dis- tance up to midtown to find another block of equal allure and urbanity. Given the greater, albeit dubious, benefit of attracting more convention dollars to Sacramento, the razing of La Boulangerie appears a small price to pay. It can always move to another location. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said for many of the other enterprises on the block — most no-" ticeabty the Merrium Apartments. Its de- struction would. be a regrettable loss, of both a piece of local history and a landmark of rare architectural grace. The Merrium Apartments, at lOl? 14th St., were built in 1912 by prominent attor- ney Chauncey H. Dunn and named in honor of his wife. For its time, the 42-unit apart- ment house featured some big-city ameni- ties, including a basement icehouse, a down- stairs switchboard, and two elevators. It was once a presti- gious address. But it's the build- ing's stately exterior, designed by local architect FVederick Harri- son, that continues to impress. In- spired by Louis Sullivan, the Mer- rium is composed of an intricate tan brick facade, with a twin-col- umned entry and a spacious mar- bled lobby. Most noteworthy is the structure's awesome project- ing cornice of terra cotta embel- lished with typically Sullivanes- que ornament. Next to the gray-slab convention center, the Merrium appears almost impos- ing. The building's architectural novelty aside, its overriding value is in furnishing smart housing for people who want to participate in that adventure known as the "24- hour city." Conventioneers, by definition and thankfully, come and go. With its character and charm, the well-maintained Mer- rium attracts precisely the kind of resident of whom the city is in such short supply: the young, am- bitious, and employed. One such tenant is Carmen Vataloro, 35, manager of I^e Grand Confection- ery, a pricey chocolate shop a few doors down from La Boulangerie. Vataloro finds herself facing the grim pros- pect of losing both her apartment and her place of employment. She is understandably disturbed. "My life was just getting going here," says Vataloro of her new job and her $340-a-month apartment, which has oak floors and brass fixtures. "And I feel like I have a home for the first time. If there's a fight to be had, I'll fight for this building. This is a part of Sacramento's history." Then there's the perspective of Sacramen- to artist Pat Mahony, who has gained con- siderable repute for her numerous, creamy canvases of the Merrium Apartments. "The building was a breakthrough for me," Ma- hony has said. "It's been an unending source of inspiration. I never tire of it. I've come to love its patterns, its repetitions, the shad- ows cast by the awnings on its facade. I have painted that building for a good five years, in all light and weather conditions. I could paint that building with my eyes closed." That, alas, may prove a fortunate stroke. • C105€T crcQtion/ "the /pQce organizer/' • 30 to 50% MORE HANGING AREA • 3 to 4 TIMES THE SHELF AREA YOU NOW HAVE. • NEATER KIDS • VISA AND MASTERCARD ACCEPTED • REASONABLE PRICES CALL 635-0200 FOR FREE IN HOME ESTIMATE VISIT OUR SHOWROOM 11311 TRADE CENTER DR.

"See it?" he asks. "Do you see it? I couldn't believe when I first saw it." Sure enough, just below the roof on the south side is a smidgen of an old sign that spells out his name: T-O-M. Artist and manager of the Merrium Apartments, Pow- ers chooses to take this as an indication that his stand against the city of Sacramento must be grounded in the cosmos as well as in history. The five-story Merrium Apartments, built 75 years ago, is in the way of the city's preferred expansion of the Sacramento Community Convention Center across the street. Powers is working with a coalition of tenants and preservationists to save it. Ironically, the Merrium is on the city's list of buildings to be preserved and on a block that reflects the city's goal of mixing residential and commercial use in the downtown area. Aesthetics and big business are on a collision course at 1017 14th St., and Sacramento will have to wait until late summer for the outcome. That's when the City Council will publicly consider an environmental impact report and make a decision. At stake is the existence of a restored, fully rented building that is home to 46 people. At stake is the config- uration of the convention center, whose man^ement de- mands a 100,000-square-foot addition to compete with major California cities for business and tourist dollars. Clouding the Merrium's future further is the fact that it is in the process of being sold. To Solon "Doc" Wisham, assistant city manager, the Merrium's future should feature a date with a wrecking ball. He believes that enlarging the community center on the building's site would be logical and less costly than alternative proposals. "You can't make an argument against the charm of the Merrium. I've been in it several times, and the inside is more unique than the outside. It pains me to think about the Merrium not being there," says Wisham. "But, there's a higher level of benefit t» expand that way than go another way to save one building." To Powers, this means war. The city has purchased some of the property around the apartment building. Citing state law against piecemeal acquisition of a whole project before the environmental impact report. Powers' friends in the Sacramento Old City Association have threatened to sue if the City Council chooses the site. "We're fighting to maintain downtown as a sea of san- ity amidst the suburbs," says Powers, who likes being called the mayor of the Merrium. "I'm a purist and a fa- natic on this. This is my artistic statement, my crusade. The Merrium is one of the few remnants of elegance in the city, and we won't let the city turn it into a stagnant, redundant piece of tilt-up concrete."

Like most of the building's residents, Sabala sees the world from her feet instead of a car window. Like most of those who live around her, Sabala considers the Mer- rium a rite of passage of sorts. A first home after home. "I work nearby at I.Magnin," she says. "I'm also taking a word-processing course and hope to go into paralegal work. The Merrium is perfect for my life. It's a very inti- mate place, down to my enjoying overhearing the fellow in Apartment 20 singing in the shower every day at 10 a.m." If Sabala had to move, she'd miss that.

THE SACRAMENTO BEE MAGAZINE 11 The elegance of the old building is captured in apartments like this, the residence of Carmen Vatalaro, which has almost a museum quality. Corrina Sabala has decorated her apartment to restore a 1912 look. Highlights are the hutch with leaded glass vrindows and the hardwood floor with dark walnut inlay. Toni Snyder, in her living room, says: "I love the fact that Fm not the first person to live in this room and that this is what everyone trying to rehab old places wants." 12 MARCH 6,1988 Progress?

Named for his wife, who was the niece of the first gover- nor of Nevada, it opened in 1912 as an in-town respite for the hoity-toity of Sacramento who lived in the country. Dunn, known for his leadership in the Methodist Episcopal Church, chamber of commerce and YMCA, wanted quality. He chose architect Clarence Cuff, whose unfulfilled hope ironically was to design a community center for Sacramento. Together they selected the Lou- is Sullivan-style architecture to study painting with Wayne Thiebaud at the University of California, Davis. During his first five months as manager, Powers evicted 15 people. "When I took over, apartments were like caves, and their inhab- itants were street-type people liv- ing on the edge," says Powers. "I used to have to walk around the halls with a baseball bat for pro- tection. It was a circus of charac- ters, and I moved them out and replaced them with stable people who are an asset to downtown." By the time Powers began man- aging it, the building's green- and-white awnings, installed in the '40s, had been replaced by the royal-blue variety. But the origi- nal marble lobby with its desk and directory of residents was in place. Rents escalated to an aver- age of $280 for a studio and $380 for a one-bedroom. Ray Stone Inc. reports invest- ing about $300,000 in the building There's never going to be another building like the Merrium in Sacramento.' with its wide cornice because the shadow would help protect the Oilding from the Valley sun. nenities included an on-site ice plant with daily delivery. Constructed of steel and rein- forced concrete with a brick fa- cade, the Merrium was one of the first buildings in town with an automatic elevator. (It has two.) Cuff designed it around a center well about 10 feet square that acts as ventilation for apart- ments surrounding it. The trade- off is that apartments around the space have no view of the street. Since Frank Lloyd Wright worked for Louis Sullivan and carried out many of his designs, it seemed natural for Cuff to choose Wright's design for leaded glass in the built-in hutches. The Dunn family held on to the building until 1952, when they sold it to attorney Wilbur Brand. Ray Stone Inc. purchased the building in 1981 for about $600,000 for a limited partnership of 10 Sacramentans, including doctors and judges. The Stone partnership intend- ed to convert it into offices, but the high vacancy rate among new office buildings in the central city in the early '80s convinced them to restore the apartments and up- grade the building's image. Rents were about $65 a month and resi- dents were, in Powers' words, "off le wall." Powers was a tenant in the building before he became the manager in 1985. Five years earli- er, he had left his job as public- relations director of the Raleigh Little Theater in North Carolina and restoring 35 of the 41 apart- ments. The company decided to sell the Merrium because it was losing $3,000 a month in rents and because of its clouded future, according to Hank Fisher, Stone's general partner. "The Merrium is a beautiful building," says Fisher. "Rumors of the city wanting to expand the community center our way have been going on for years. We had a bunch of legislators who wanted to move in, but went elsewhere. If the city had tried to get the build ing by eminent domain, it could have gotten hung up in court for 20 years. Recently we spent $5,700 to replace the steam boiler. We just wanted to get out of it before we lost more money." Ken Wong, 31, says his pur chase of the Merrium for $1.3 million is still in escrow. As pres- ident and principal owner of Ca- mino West development compa- ny, Wong says his firm manages about 5,000 apartments, mostly in the Carmichael and Greenhaven areas. Last June, Wong made lo- cal news when he announced a joint venture with Hopewell Holdings of Hong Kong, which paid $5 million for a 29-acre Pocket Road site on which con struction has begun for an apart ment complex. Hopewell Hold- ings, which Wong described at the time as being "sold on Sacra mento," had 1986 revenues of $1.2 billion. At the least, Wong says, the building is "a good investment" that he could recover merely by holding and selling. It's prema- Continued on page U ONE BETTER Honestly, it's the best perm ever!

Contirmed from page 13 ture, he says, to talk about what city-hall insiders are talking about — that Wong is now in a position to propose building and leasing the $40 million communi- ty-center addition to the city. Wong says he plans to be more reactive than pro-active with the city" and has no plans to change the building's operation before the City Council considers the Merrium's future. "Let's just say that certainly the Merrium will see action in the near future, and I like action," says Wong. "It's like buying a stock before a merger. I hate to sound like an opportunist, but this looks like an opportunity. It's a handsome building, but its fu- ture is more in the city's hands than the owner's." Wilfred "Slim" Marsden, 76, tallies almost as many ill- nesses as years he has lived at the Merrium. "I have colon cancer, arthritis and cataracts," he says. "I've had seven strokes and 11 heart at- tacks. Other than that, I'm fine." Marsden, who used to work in bookstores, has lived in his third- floor studio apartment on a $575 a month state-disability payment for 15 years. When he has the strength to get out of bed, he walks with the aid of a rubber- footed cane to Capitol Park. "There used to be 10 of us older folks in the building, but now there's four," he says. "We used to be some gang." Today's togetherness is differ- ent. More than a year ago, a law student on the first floor heard Marsden's yells for help on the side of the building. Returning late at night from Reno with $333 in his pocket, Marsden was tar- geted for mugging. His young neighbor left his apartment, tack- led the assailant on the Memorial Auditorium lawn, and held him down until police arrived. "I got enough worries without worrying about what happens to this building," says Marsden. "One thing — if the city throws me out, they have to find a place for me. I know my rights." WHAT THE CITY staff has proposed since 1979 is to close 14th Street and demolish every- thing on the block except St. Paul's Episcopal Church on the corner of 15th and J. "You don't condemn God," says Assistant City Manager Wisham with a grin. There are two alternatives — to go north via an elevated walkway across J Street or to add on to the existing community center in a westerly direction, as the Sacra- mento Old City Association has suggested. Sam Bums, who operates the convention center, says the SOCA proposal — which also suggests adding residential housing near the Merrium — splits meeting rooms and requires phased con- struction that would interfere with his bookings past 1991. Burns' criticism of the northerly alternative is that it suggests sep- arating exhibit halls, and conven- tioneers wouldn't go for that. If exhibit halls could be contigu- ous and meeting rooms in the same vicinity. Burns says he might go for a site besides the Merrium's. Not Wisham. "To cross the street north is gnarly," he says. "It causes ago- nizing design considerations." Going north would also inter- fere with a proposed office build- ing. Going west raises many ques- tions to Wisham, including the impact on the second phase of cy- lindrical, high-rise office towers proposed between 12th and 13th. "Our position is that there's never going to be another building like the Merrium in Sacramento," says Steve Sanders, president of SOCA and an urban planner for the state's General Services De- partment. "We believe our alter- native plan can work and that the city's is simplistic. We think we're in danger of losing the last ves- tiges of 19th century and early 20th century heritage downtown." Regardless of the apartment building's fate, Wisham says the low-scale character of the block will change eventually. If the city [ AI ft IA ITTTIHt) IEIB1SI ISIHIEIAI FH JjAjM N.Y.

Jim Naify, who owns Beers Book Center and the property that La Boulangerie made famous, confirms this possi- bility. Naify and his brother have pro- posed an 18-story high-rise with a three-level retail area on J Street between 14th and 15th. They have also leased a brick building at 15th and L streets that could ac- commodate all the businesses cur- rently leasing from their family near the Merrium and provide parking, as well. "We're acting to protect our own interests because the city has shown us it is not to be trusted in these matters," says Naify. "We cleaned up a shabby street and were ready to sit on it before the city started talking about ex- panding the community center our way. "If the city went for eminent do- main on our property, we would make the argument in court that it would have to pay for the high- est use of the property — like a high-rise — not necessarily the current use." envelopes the Merrium. Then the bells from St. Paul's ring six times. It's one of Toni Symonds' favor- ite times of the day. Symonds, 26, has lived in the Merrium for two years. Senior consultant to the Assembly Housing and Communi- ty Deveiopment Committee, she inhabits a one-bedroom facing the community center. "I used to live in a studio off the courtyard and smell everyone's dinner and make believe I (was) back in Rome," she says. "There's such a sense about this place. I feel like it's my fortress. I love the fact that I'm not the first person to live in this room and that this place is what everyone trying to rehab old places wants." w hen Java City roasts coffee around 6 a.m., the aroma THE MERRIUM is to Pat Ma- hony what Campbell's Soup was to Andy Warhol. In New York City, one of her paintings of the building sold re- cently for more than $2,000. A Sacramento artist, Mahony has traveled to Paris, Italy and Argentina in search of the perfect building for her studies of facades. She has painted hundreds of them and the Merrium remains her ul- timate. "I come back again and again to the Merrium," she says. "It is the standard by which I judge the others. Maybe that's because when I painted it for the first time in 1982, my style and technique coalesced." Or maybe it's the effect of light and wind on the awnings. For that's what first caused her to stop the car and look again. Mahony only knows that the Merrium has affected her life and art, and she feels she owes it. Ironically, her most recent paint- ing of it is entitled, "Don't Cry for Me." Mahony swears that it wasn't intended as a political statement. "The awnings were blowing in the wind, and I painted them, and my mother mentioned they looked like teardrops. It was all an acci- dent." Several months ago, that paint- ing was the centerpiece at a "Save the Merrium" 75th birthday party organized by Powers at St. Paul's. The California Chamber Players performed and nearly 100 sup- porters nibbled a cake shaped and color-frosted to look like the building. Among the guests was Peter Dunn, the only living relative of the family that built the apart- ment house. Merrium was his grandmother. "I think it's a fine building," says Dunn, a 62-year-old insur- ance agent. "On one hand, I hate to see it torn down. I'm sure my grandfather was proud of it be- cause it was so modern for its time. On the other hand, I under- stand the city's position, too. I have mixed emotions. I don't know exactly what's the right thing to do for the future."^ Hilary Abramson is a staff writer for the magazine.
