I feel I am uniquely qualified to serve on this commission because of my past 20 years' experience in running a professional property management company. I am a Certified Property Manager, and my firm is an Accredited Management Organization. My experience in managing large homeowners' associations and commercial properties with complex issues of large tree, turf and irrigation problems give me the background to assist with the City's parks and recreation maintenance problems. I have also had experience with infrastructure buildings, streets and sidewalks. I have experience working with large, complex budgets that deal precisely with the aforementioned issues and possess the necessary analytical skills. I am an avid board and body surfer and have been involved with a number of local sailing clubs and the Orange Coast College sailing program. Also, I currently own a boat that is docked in Newport Harbor. Consequently, I use the harbor and related facilities on a regular basis. I live one block from the beach and utilize it on a daily basis. I am also a frequent user of the City -owned public tennis courts. I also assist my wife with Neighborhood Watch. She is our neighborhood block captain and has attended the Citizens' Police Academy. I know the complex issues that need to be dealt with on a fair and equitable basis to benefit all residents and visitors to Newport Beach's park and beach facilities. Thank you for your consideration. Sine rely, VII William E.

Toerge I am a strong believer in our system of municipal government. I realize that contributing to the system, whether as a member of the public or a city administrator, is necessary for the process to function efficiently. I have an established track record of active community involvement in my 21 years in Newport Beach. As a seven year member of the Corona del Mar Residents Association board of directors and as Chairman for the past two years, I remain active in major issues facing our city. In preparation for municipal service, I attended the community based organization, Leadership Tomorrow, where I developed a greater understanding of our municipal government. I was elected to the Leadership Tomorrow Executive Committee by my classmates and was asked to deliver our graduation address. In 1995, I, with current Mayor Gary Adams, was nominated by the city council as a candidate for planning commission. Even though I was unsuccessful, I received confirming votes from Phil Sansone, Clarence Turner and Evelyn Hart. I am sincere and consistent in my interest to serve the city of Newport Beach. The planning commission is where my knowledge and experience can best be utilized. I have a real estate background, I am patient, I am a good listener and I have emerged as leader in the civic organizations that I've participated in. I am a problem solver capable of digesting large volumes of information. I ask relevant and pointed questions in an effort to gain a clear understanding of issues and those affected by my opinions. I do my homework and when it is time to render an opinion, I do so confidently and decisively. I believe property rights are the back bone of a free market system. Without such rights, our country would not be the great country that it is. Property rights are not, however, unconditional and it is the responsibility of city administrators to draw the difficult and fine line between individuals seeking to expand their property rights and the public interest. Property and the developments within this city will be here long after we are gone and city leaders and administrators have the responsibility to fairly administer this process for the benefit of current owners and future generations. I appreciate your consideration and I would greatly appreciate the challenge and opportunity to serve on the planning commission. Michael L/.
