Recommendation Letter: Tim Manglicmot
May 19, 2026
choices a Planning Commission makes regarding General Plans, zoning updates, and capital projects shape the daily lives of families and the long- term vitality of the city.
During our years working together, I have always known Tim to be a meticulous researcher and an incredibly fair-minded person. He has a rare ability to look at highly complex, conicting pieces of information—whether an environmental report or a budget constraint—and approach them with complete objectivity. More importantly, he is a natural consensus- builder. He listens with genuine empathy to residents, city sta, and developers alike, ensuring that ordinary citizens feel heard, respected, and valued in the public process.
As a dedicated resident of Chula Vista, Tim cares deeply about the future of his community. He wants to ensure the city grows responsibly without losing the unique spirit that makes its neighborhoods special. He is a person of high moral character, an analytical thinker, and a true public servant who is motivated entirely by the quiet desire to leave his community better than he found it. He will bring a balanced, thoughtful, and forward- looking perspective to your deliberations, and I enthusiastically recommend him for this appointment without reservation. Please feel free to contact me if you require any further insight into his qualications.
Sincerely,
Jonathan M. Rewers, AICP
