I enjoy participating in local government and in my 10 years of service have missed only 2 regular meetings. Since I have absolutely no conflict of interest, I have been able to vote on every single issue presented to the Council. This election is not based on any single issue. The problems facing Carlsbad are many and complex: Growth management; water reclamation; sewer capacity; land requisition for centralization of City facilities; additional park development; and to encourage light industry and commercial development in order to provide employment and enhance the city economic base. Certainly, then, with 3 of 5 votes being determined in this election, experience can best serve the city. Following is a sample of my voting support: Joint recreational facility-use by schools and City Developer fees for anticipated school land Growth management Paramedic units Public facility fees Alcohol banning on Carlsbad beaches Expansion of Camino Plaza, Car Country, and selected light industry Voter determination on mergence of our 2 water facilities Against re-location of Senior Citizens group. si Claude A.

My experience and education provides the basis for serving my community on the Carlsbad City council. The best formal leadership training I had was winning a scholar- ship to the CORO Public Affairs Foundation for Women. This was an intensive ten week course in San Francisco which stressed community relations, leadership, and "making things happen." The best political experience was directing two field offices for a County Supervisor in Santa Clara County. Taking leave of absence, I was his suc- cessful campaign manager for re-election.

JR MEMBER OF CITY COUNCIL City of Carlsbad JEFF CRISMAN Occupation: Management and Investment .Consultant Education and Qualifications: Carlsbad is at the crossroads of Its existence. On April 8th you will have an opportunity to decide not only the future of our city for the next four years, but to decide our direction for future generations. Carlsbad has been involved in ongoing sewer and growth problems; ongoing LaCosta problems; ongoing redevelopment and pool problems. The list of unfinished items can go on and on. My point is, with the inevitable growth Carlsbad is facing we can no longer rule by 'REACTION.1 We must now implement firm plans. I believe these problems can be solved by bringing the proper background and 'willingness to work,' to the City Council. I have been a resident of Carlsbad for the past eight years. My past experience includes being a former High School Government Teacher, a Realtor Associate, owner of a Management Consulting Firm and a Manufacturing Firm. Presently I am a Board Officer of a Carlsbad Non-Profit Private School, a Management and Investment Consul- tant, and involved in various community activities. Do I teel I can solve all of our problems? Of course not, but I wilf devote all the time necessary and utilize my past experience to work toward solving our current and future needs. si Jeff Crisman STAL...cNT OF CANDIDATE FOR MEMBER OF CITY COUNCIL City of Carlsbad SYBIL VIRGINIA BUDMAN Occupation: Social worker; Urban Planner Education and Qualifications: My education and qualifications are diversified, including a Master's degree in Public Administration, Political "Science; and experience with Urban Planning and Social Work.

Therefore, I want to make certain that we maintain a fine quality of life here. Enjoying politics, I have researched and studied the issues. My talents lie in compro- mise, and resolving problems based on communication. I advocate Neighborhood Crime Watch, highlighting Citizen-Police cooperation. I want to preserve what is delightful about Carlsbad, an uncrowded, unhurried, uncon- gested relaxed Old World atmosphere; but balanced with healthy managed Growth, downtown redevelopment, modern prestigious neighborhood shopping areas, Supermar- kets, a better image to attract tax dollars, benefiting all our citizens. Retired now, I can devote full attention to Council duties, bringing dedicated conscien- tious efforts. So, if you place confidence in me, I pledge to be available anytime, responsive to you and all City problems. si Sybil Virginia Budman STATEMENT OF CANDIDATE FOR MEMBER OF CITY COUNCIL City of Carlsbad STATEMENT OF CANDIDATE FOR MEMBER OF CITY COUNCIL City of Carlsbad BILL BROWN AGE: 54 AGE: 42 Occupation: Sales Representative Education and Qualifications: I was born and reared in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and graduated from Temple University, Philadelphia, with a B.S. degree in Business Adminis- tration.

For the past 25 years I have been employed as a Sales Representative, the last 5 of which have been with Ducommun Metals in San Diego. I favor controlled growth, election of Council by population of districts, improved sewer facilities, improved and expanded fire and police personnel and equipment, improved and expanded park and playground facilities, good paramedic protection, zoned areas for low income and medium cost housing, including manufactured housing, permanent zoning for existing mobile home parks and guidelines for local taxation as set forth by Proposi- tion 13. I oppose massive conversion of apartments to condominiums, sacrifice of the rights of young, low income, and seniors on fixed incomes for the benefit of special interests and affluent groups. si Bill Brown J. W. (WES) SMITH Occupation: Master Optician, small businessman Education and Qualifications: I know that on occasion I find myself saying, "I don't have time for this or that, that I have other important things or specific interests groups to attend." This is understandable and I think you will agree, but it is hard to understand when a group of people constantly have no time for anything except themselves or their specific interests groups. It is especially difficult to understand when these people were elected to give some of their time to all of the people. The present group in the city council have found it easy to give little of their time for the elderly, people on a fixed income, low rent housing, or those people who live in mobile homes parks. By the election of J. W. (Wes) Smith you will find a candidate who can listen and find the time to act for todays problems and the future NOW-NOT LATER! si J. W. (Wes) Smith STATEMENT OF CANDIDA..

Guerra r- ?r ,e I- e IMPARTIAL ANALYSIS OF MEASURE A The City Council has placed a proposition on the ballot which would make the Office of City Clerk appointive. Currently the Carlsbad City Clerk is elected to office. If the voters of Carlsbad approve, the Office of the City Clerk may be made appointive. The City Council would then be authorized to appoint the City Clerk themselves or they could, by ordinance, give the City Manager the power to make the appointment. The duties of the City Clerk, as pro- vided by law, would remain unchanged. IMPARTIAL ANALYSIS OF MEASURE B The City Council has placed a proposition on the ballot which would make the Office of City Treasurer appointive. Currently the Carlsbad City Treasurer is elected to office. If the voters of Carlsbad approve, the office of the City Treasurer may be made appointive. The City Council would then be authorized to appoint the City Treasurer themselves or they could, by ordinance, give the City Manager the power to make the appointment. The duties of the City Treasurer, as provided by law, would remain unchanged. FULL TEXT OF MEASURE y ADVISORY VOTE ONLY Should the Governor and the Legislature of the State of California be advised that: It is the will of the people of the City of Carlsbad that the Governor and the Legislature apportion the existing six cents sales and use tax so that two cents rather than the present one cent be allocated to be used by cities and counties for priority local ser- vices rather than by the State for state services or to the state surplus. It is understood that if the Governor and the Legislature so act, any funds resulting therefrom which would cause the City to exceed a spending limit imposed by a vote of the people of the City of Carlsbad or the State shall be returned to the people or ex- pended for capital improvements, as provided by law. Further, it is the will of the people that the Governor and the Legislature enact such allocation into law no later than the first of May, 1980 to avoid the unnecessary enactment by the people through the initiative process to cure legislative default. IMPART'.; ANALYSIS OF MEASURE C The City Council has placed this advisory proposition on the ballot. Presently cit receive one cent of the six cents sates and use tax. This proposition would requi that an additional one cent of the six cents sales and use tax be apportioned to cit and counties. The proposition is advisory to the Governor and State Legislature, increase in the total sales tax is proposed.
