Carol Connors, Twice Victoria Aguilar, Tony's daughter Oscar Nominated Singer & Songwriter, Star Number 143 TONY AGUILAR, RESIDENT OF PALM SPRINGS FOR 33 YEARS. 1. THE PROPOSITION OF PALM SPRINGS TRANSITIONING FROM AN AT-LARGE ELECTORAL SYSTEM TO A DISTRICT-BASED SYSTEM FOR MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL HAS MERIT. 2. DISTRICT REPRESENTATION WOULD PROVIDE EQUAL REPRESENTATION OF OUR VARIOUS COMMUNITY GROUPS SUCH AS THE HISPANIC AND AFRICAN AMERICAN COMMUNITIES. THE PRESENT COMPOSITION OF THE CITY COUNCIL IS NOT REPRESENTATIVE OF THE PALM SPRINGS COMMUNITY. 3. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT A PROPOSAL HAS BEEN MADE TO ROTATE THE MAYOR'S POSITION AMONG THE CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS. TERRIBLE IDEA AN ONE WHICH IS BASED ON THE PERSONAL AGENDA OF SOME COUNCIL MEMBERS. 3. OUR CITY IS KNOWN WORLD WIDE. THE MAYOR'S POSITION HAS BECOME A FULL TIME ELECTED POSITION. MAYOR MOON WAS ELECTED AS MAYOR BY A WIDE MARGIN OF OVER 1,000 VOTES. HE WAS A POPULAR CONDIDATE. HE IS EVEN MORE POPULAR TODAY AS THE SITTING MAYOR. j4ujre @ sjlu�fX m oeehj�� TO THOSE ON THE COUNCIL WHO ASPIRE TO THE MAYOR'S OFFICE LET ME SUGGEST THAT YOU CAMPAIGN AT THE APPROPRIATE TIME AND CONCENTRATE ON PEFORMING YOUR DUTIES TO YOUR ELECTED POSITION AS CITY COUNCIL PERSONS. MANY OF US PALM SPRINGS RESIDENTS DETECT DIVISENESS ON OUR COUNCIL. TIME TO WORK AS A TEAM TO THE BENEFIT OF THOSE OF US WHO ELECTED YOU AND THE CITIZENS OF PALM SPRINS . IT IS ALLEGED THAT THE CITY IS HAVING MEETINGS AND CONSIDERING FIRING THE FOUNDING 12 MEMBER NOT FOR PROFIT BOARD WHICH HAS ADMINISTERED THE PALM SPRINGS WALK OF STARS PROGRAM FOR 26. SUPPOSEDLY, THE CITY AND THE PALM SPRINGS CHAMBER OF COMMERCE WOULD THEN TAKE OVER THE PROGRAM. IF TRUE SUCH ACTION WOULD BE ILL ADVISED. THE FOUNDING ORGANIZATION HAS SERVED OUR CITY WELL ADMINISTERING THIS IMPORTANT, VITAL AND POPULAR PROGRAM. IF THIS INFORMATION IS TRUE HEARINGS ON THIS MATTER ARE ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY. THANK YOU. TONY C. AGUILAR, JR.
