Former position as Commissioner for the Parks Beaches and Recreation Commission for 8 year term, two years as chairperson afforded me an opportunity to experience the inner- workings of the City's operations while achieving specific goals. As a candidate in the 2000 City Council race for District 5, I earned the 3`' highest number of votes out of 9 candidates; less that a 1,000 votes from the District 5 winner. I believe this establishes a positive voter response to my positions held on issues affecting the city's future.

City Council Summary I have been quite active in Newport Beach and feel that my vast experience in problem solving, negotiating, community and government experience and "hands on" service will be invaluable as a member of the City Council. I currently serve as a member of the Economic Development Committee, Zoning Review Committee, Centennial Committee, BIIA, 552, plus my Chamber activities. As a member of the Commodores Club of the Newport Beach Chamber of Commerce, I designed and oversaw the construction of the BBQ Grille donated to the Newport Beach Firemen. Since that time I have expanded the Grille to have the capacity to do pancake breakfasts by acquiring a griddle and modifying it to fit the Grille. The Firemen's Grille is now being used throughout the community. Additionally when the firemen were delayed in their project to restore their 1921 Firetruck due to the lack of available parts, l was able to find a "parts" truck to complete their restoration. I have no business conflicts in the City of Newport Beach since my business activities are outside the City. I am a fiscal conservative and have the ability to get the most "Bang for the Buck ". I have worked throughout the community in several civic organizations and committees. Through this volunteer work, I have been able to identify problems in the community and, contrary to others who have vied for this position, have solutions for these problems. As a former Mayor of the City of Paramount, I laid the groundwork for redevelopment of the entire city which was the remnants of a dairy community. This required modifying the Zoning and General Plan for the community that was inherited from the County of Los Angeles prior to incorporation. As President of the Jaycees, the Jaycees built the first new park in the community which led to the parks program in existence today. I started the tree planting program planting over 500 trees throughout the community (trees were planted using a method that prevented them from raising the curb and sidewalks, something we could use here in Newport Beach). The following I perceive as some of the current issues that need leadership and need to be resolved: Airport: We need to be diligent in our efforts to maintain the status quo regarding the expansion of the airport and number of flights, flight pattern as well as the flight curfew. Whatever effort it takes, we need to gain control of the airport activities and become the lead agency for decisions made regarding the health and welfare of Newport Beach. General Plan: This is the future of our community. We need to provide the leadership in the community to expedite the General Plan, streamline it and bring it to the public. This is going to require workshops and an outreach program throughout the community. This needs to be a priority in order to bring it to a vote next year. I feel that my previous experience qualifies me for this task. Traffic: A great concern for our community is the PCH traffic through Newport Beach. I feel that I have a solution that would eliminate up to 201/o or more of the traffic through Corona Del Mar and Mariners Mile. I feel that this could be done at NO Cost to the City. Doors need to be opened and this can be accomplished only by a member of the City Council with support of the council members. City Hall: I made a presentation in front of the City Council regarding the construction and financing of a new City Hall. As a member of the City Council I am confident that I could use my experience to bring this project to fruition with no initial outlay from the City and institute a program to aid in retiring the debt through wise use of the parking structure. I believe that a considerable amount of the debt could be retired by income from the parking structure and yet making it available to the public doing business in City Hall for free. These are just four issues that face our community. I believe as a member of the City Council I can succeed in a resolution to these and other issues. During my previous council experience, availability to members of the community is essential no matter how large or small the issue. It is my job to be available at all times to listen individually, meet with community groups (in which I will still be active) and work to resolve community problems and maintain Newport Beach as the prestigious community where we live. I feel that it is important to work with City staff in resolving community problems, programs and issues. They are the backbone of the community. As a member of the City Council, it is our job to provide direction through the City Manager for the operation and development of the city. The City of Newport Beach enjoys a well qualified, professional and caring staff. I have developed a special respect for them through my activities as a member of the recent Centennial and Rose Float committees, Relay for Life and other committees and contacts I have made through the years. In conclusion, I have the experience, knowledge, patience and vitality to serve this community. I would like the opportunity to do so.

As a two time 5th District Council Candidate (1996 & 2000) and a life long Republican., I would very much appreciate the opportunity that this aDDOintment would offer. In the 2000 election I garnered nearly, 4500 votes without taking any contributions; spending about $2,000. of my own money. My opponent spent over $100,000. and got a little over 12000 votes I believe the electorate in District 5 and throughout the city liked what I had to say. They want a representative who can look to the future and recogrrize significant issues and take action before they become Droblems. Many of the issues that were at the forefront' of the 2000 and 2004 elections were first brought` forth by me back In 1996. These issues include controlled development, which does not mean no development. The current General Plan update will do much t'o alleviate this as a problem; so that Greenliaht elections can be held to a mimimum. Another idea which was first discussed by me during both the 1996'and 2000 elections was the use of private sector philosophy (outsourcing) to implement more efficient and cost effective use of budgeted funding. I would love the chance to work on these issues with my fellow council members, along with ongoing[ traffic, airport, bay and harbor problems.

CA 92708 Tel.: (714) 964 -4215 This letter is written in behalf of Robert Schoonmaker, 1119 North Stanford Avenue, Fullerton, California who is applying to your college district for a position as Instructor in Business Administration. My relationship with Mr. Schoonmaker has extended over a period of better than a year, ranging from almost daily contact to several times weekly. While our formal relationship has been on a faculty- student basis, our informal discussions outside the classroom have been more on a peer basis as there are similarities in our backgrounds and experiences that do not hold true for the average student. Mr. Schoonmaker possesses an experience background that argues well for working with people, such as would be required if he were to join your faculty. While much of his formal work experience has been as an engineer with the type of organization that require such expertise, he has developed the skill and ability to think in, organizational, corporate, and business terms. His personal traits and characteristics include, among others, dependability, reliability, accuracy, thoughtfulness, perceptiveness, and honesty. His personality is pleasing and he is an "out -going person" with a calm and polite manner. His academic work habits are superior, ranging from punctuality in meeting all class requirements to delivering on time in an orderly, organized manner outside work requirements. He is a well above - average student exhibiting superior analytical skills communicated in a logical, understandable manner. I believe that Mr. Schoonmaker would be a strong addition to your faculty team. Within the confines of this letter, I recommend him without reservation. Sincerely, &�""&/" 4"(_� Edward H. Barker, Ph.

Mr. Schoonmaker completed the required coursework for the Master of Science in Business Organizational Management in 1993, at the University of La Verne. I have had numerous conversations with Mr. Schoonmaker with respect to teaching, and I am aware of his very significant motivation. He has a natural ease with presentations and with communicating material to others. The experience he has in counseling and career guidance for college interns combined with his experience in classroom instruction seems especially appropriate for the position at your institution. While he was a student at the University of La Verne, he was hard - working, conscientious, and a dynamic participant in the classroom. His grades in the MS degree program reflect those attributes positively as do the comments I have received from faculty with respect to his overall performance. I can therefore recommend Mr. Schoonmaker for consideration to the position without reservation. If I can provide you with any additional information, please do not hesitate to contact me at (909) 593 -3511, extension 4212.

Speak Up Newport Board of Directors 2003 -2005 Statement of Qualifications And Reasons For Wishing To Serve On The Newport Beach City Council I bring a unique set of skills and experiences to municipal government with over 25 years of continuous involvement in municipal affairs. I have experience as an urban planner, a planning and land use consultant, the director of a municipal planning and redevelopment agency and a member of municipal commissions that review development projects and advise city councils. These experiences provide me a perspective from all aspects of municipal government that few others possess. I studied Architecture and Urban and Regional Planning at California State Polytechnic University San Luis Obispo and California State Polytechnic University Pomona. 1 have a Bachelors Degree in Environmental Design with an emphasis in Urban Planning from California State Polytechnic University Pomona and did post graduate work in Urban and Regional Planning at the same institution. Upon completing his college education I was employed by the City of Huntington Beach California Planning Department. In 1976 1 was appointed Director Of Planning and Environmental Resources. At that time the department was one of the largest municipal planning organizations in the state. During my tenure I supervised the creation and adoption of the General Plan for the entire city, the writing and adoption of a new Zoning Code, the creation and adoption of the Local Coastal Plan, the writing and adoption of a new City Sign Ordinance and administration of the city's Housing and Community Development Block Grant Program. I also was at the same time the city's first Redevelopment Agency Director and oversaw the creation of five Redevelopment Project areas and the adoption of two Redevelopment Plans, including the Downtown Redevelopment Plan. have extensive experience in municipal budgeting and administration, including experience as part of an interdepartmental budgeting team of department heads who had to develop severe budget cuts in anticipation of the passage of Proposition 13 and still provide levels of service to the community that residents expected. My experiences provide me a strong knowledge base in the workings of all departments typically found in a municipal organization. Prior to working at the City of Huntington Beach I worked for CST Engineering, Newport Beach, California doing site and subdivision planning and design. In 1978, after my tenure at the City of Huntington Beach I became Director of Land Development for Cadillac Fairview Homes West, Newport Beach California. I was responsible for or part of the team for the planning entitlement and development of planned residential community projects in California ranging from 100 to over 3000 homes. In 1984 1 began planning, entitling, and developing planned residential communities specializing in balanced communities containing housing, commercial services, employment, schools, parks and needed community infrastructure. In these capacities I have planned and developed planned residential projects ranging from 400 to 4200 residential lots. In addition, I have provided urban planning and land use consulting services to numerous clients over the years. During these years my planning and entitlement activities required a close working relationship with various municipal and county governmental organizations which kept me abreast of the changes in laws and procedures affecting municipal government. I have been a member of the City of Newport Beach Planning Commission since July 1995, and was selected by my colleagues to serve three terms as chairman. I have served on the city's 1997 Zoning Code Update Committee and General Plan Advisory Committee. Currently I am on the city's Local Coastal Plan Advisory Committee and the Ad Hoc Committee For Revisions To The Zoning Code. I have been a member of the City's Economic Development Committee since 1995 and have been Chairman since 1998. 1 am also involved in the Corona del Mar Business Improvement District and have helped create the Vision Plan for the improvement of the business district. I am also a member of the board Of Directors of Speak Up Newport. After my employment with the City of Huntington Beach and prior to moving to Newport Beach I was a citizen member of the City of Huntington Beach Design Review Board. I have been a resident of Newport Beach since November 1979, residing in Corona del Mar until December 2000 at which time I moved to District 5. As a long time resident of Newport Beach I have an interest in community affairs. I am interested in maintaining and improving the quality of life of the residents of our city. This involves the understanding of the complex relationships between environmental and economic concerns that need to be balanced to maintain a community that is a desirable place to live and is fiscally strong and balanced. I believe that over that past decade of my service to the community I have demonstrated the dedication, knowledge and leadership qualities needed to become a part of the current city council. Although I have only been a resident of District 5 for the past 4'/2 years, my decade of community service in Newport Beach has continually involved District 5 and I feel I have a strong foundation of understanding neighborhood concerns and the issues facing the district and would be an excellent choice to represent its constituents.

Include any special qualifications you have which are particularly appropriate to the position for which you are applying (IF MORE SPACE IS NEEDED, PLEASE ATTACH A SEPARATE SHEET). I believe that my leadership abilities and considerable experience in city, business, and government related affairs would help me to make a significant contribution to the City of Newport Beach, as a City Council Person. I understand well what it takes to make a city work. Newport Beach currently has challenges that require City Council Members to stay close to their constituency, as well as to the city, county, state, and federal officials. I know how to bring people and resources together, in order to make things happen to benefit the City of Newport Beach. I have the time, the experience, and the passion to help Newport Beach continue to be the outstanding city that it is. I have the integrity, the dedication, and the knowledge it takes to be a successful Council Person for the City of Newport Beach. As many of you know, I ran for the District 6 seat for the Newport Beach City Council in 2002. 1 am the only candidate currently under consideration for the District 5 seat, that has received over 10,000 votes from the residents of Newport Beach, which may alleviate any concerns about the Newport Beach City Council appointing a person versus having a special election at this time. During my campaign, I realized that I could truly make a number of contributions to the City of Newport Beach, and thus quickly went to work. I was immediately appointed to the board of directors and executive committee, as treasurer, for the Corona del Mar (CDM) Chamber of Commerce for 2003, 2004, and 2005. 1 was also appointed and then elected as Vice President to the Corona del Mar (CDM)Business Improvement District Board of Directors for 2003, 2004, and 2005. In that role, I worked, in conjunction with the City of Newport Beach, to assist in the relinquishment of PCH. Additionally, I decided to launch the first Coastline Car classic, which grossed over $50,000, for the CDM Chamber in 2004. 1 am again chairperson for the 2005 Coastline Car Classic, to be held at big Corona Beach in Corona del Mar on 9/11/05. For the past 2 years, I have been chairperson of the board of directors for the CDM Centennial Foundation, which raised over $450,000. Included in this effort is the development of a $200,000 Centennial Clock Tower Plaza. I served as a City Council Person for Fountain Valley for almost 9 years, of which two years, I was Mayor. While on the Council, I served on the Sanitation District, SLAG, League of Cities, and numerous other boards. I was also the Founding Chairperson of the Cable TV (P.C.T.A) Board, which constituted a joint powers agreement with the cities of Huntington Beach, Fountain Valley, Garden Grove, and Westminster. My former Council experience afforded me the opportunity to work at the city, county, state, and federal government levels. I understand what it takes to coordinate and bring together the constituency and multiple levels of government, in order to meet the major needs of a city. I was also elected by the residents of Laguna Nigel to the Board of Directors, which was, in essence, the Laguna Nigel Community Council until Laguna Nigel became a city. Regarding my business experience, I have over ten years in marketing and real estate with Shell Oil Company and over 4 years in the same capacity with Jack- in -the- Box. These two opportunities enabled me, at a young age, to learn how to work with many cities in planning. In addition to this experience, for twenty years, I was involved with the development of shopping centers, apartments, and condominiums, all of which were environmentally approved. I have the time, the talent, and perhaps, most importantly, the desire and inspiration to serve the City of Newport Beach, as the next Council Representative for District 5. It is critical to preserve the air and water quality, manage traffic, and approve an effective general plan, in order to continue to provide the quality of life that the citizens of Newport Beach expect. It would be a privilege and an honor to work with you in serving the City of Newport Beach. Thank you for your serious consideration of my qualifications.
