Please explain why you want to be appo inted to City Council; a separate sheet may be attached.

The primary reason I wish to be considered for this appointment is to assure that no one wanting to run for the 02 seat in 2024 will have the advantage of incumbency . That's because I will not run in that election!
While I would only serve for less than two years, I don't intend to just keep the seat warm. I've been a Poway resident since 197 4. I voted for the city to incorporate. I've always paid attention to council decisions and attended many meetings or watched the video. Starting around 2008, it seemed that all decisions were "one-offs." It didn't seem like there was an over arching guiding plan. The General Plan was a good vision document, but it was old and needed updating. The hodgepodge growth of Poway Rd clearly supported the need for a new guiding plan. I ran unsuccessfully for a council seat in 201 0 with the condition of Poway Rd as my main issue. I was appointed to the Poway Road Ad Hoc Committee and was able to contribute to the new Poway Rd Specific Plan which will guide development along Poway Rd for decades to come (assuming that it's followed). I have provided input at council meetings on numerous subjects like human signs, video recording of council meetings, water conservation, affordable housing, Walmart expansion, Poway Rd, district elections, redistricting, and council appointments.

I'm confident that I can get up to speed quickly and be an active partner working to keep Poway a great place to live, work, and play.

Additional Information : Please provide any additional information you wish covering your qualifications, interests, community/ professional organizations or training related t o t his appo intment.

My four children attended Poway schools and graduated from Poway HS. Three grandchildren now attend Tierra Bonita School. While my children were young, I was very much involved with youth sports.

I volunteered as coach, referee, and served on multiple administrative boards. I scheduled games and coordinated fields and served as the president of the Presidio Soccer League which was the county-wide gaming organization for competitive soccer teams.

The 2007 Witchcreek fire motivated me to get more involved from a public safety point of view. recognized that if you want to be involved during an emergency, you need to be involved before the emergency. I joined the Sheriff Senior Volunteer Patrol at the Poway Station. I served for over thirteen years. I was the patrol's Administrator for the last ten years of my over 7,000 hours of service. As the SVP Administrator, I formed a management team focused on patrol management, process documentation, You Are Not Alone program, recruiting, and training. We were able to grow the number of Poway volunteers from 34 to 52 members and establish a functional SVP unit operating out of the 4S Ranch Substation with another 9 members. In addition to my administrative duties, I continued to perform one patrol per week, support special events, and respond to after-hours call-outs. 4 of 62

Why I want to be appointed to the City Council:

My wife and I moved to San Diego from Boston with our two young children in 1991 for an exciting new job opportunity. In our search for a home, we focused on Poway initially based on the reputation of PUSD, but were also attracted to the wealth of open space, hiking and horse trails, and the feeling of community. In March of 1992, we purchased the house we still live in today in Bridlewood Americana.

We love Poway and have many fond memories of hikes, picnics, and parties at Lake Poway Park and music events at the PCPA and other venues around Poway. If appointed to the City Council, my goal is to work with the city to ensure that young families, like we were 30 years ago, also have an opportunity to enjoy the beauty and benefits of raising their families here.

Professionally, I enjoyed a 40+ year career as an engineer. I did hardware design and software development, as well as project management and group leadership . I worked with critical capital equipment that was always in short supply. My role was to ensure availability and equitable sharing of these resources . I led teams that improved workflow and analyzed usage data to plan for new capital equipment purchases. I feel that my talents in this area as well as my ability to objectively study and research problems to find solutions could be useful to Poway should I be selected to serve on the council.

I retired in 2018, and have become more involved in our community . I have regularly attended City Council meetings, and have spoken on agenda items that are of concern to my Poway friends and neighbors. Some of the areas I'm most interested in are water conservation and extending recycled water to the LMDs, public transportation and working with MTS to improve service in Poway, smart traffic signals to improve traffic flow on our busiest streets, and where and how we manage development to allow Poway to grow while maintaining the environment we all know and love.

Additional Information (interests, community, organizations, volunteer activities) Interests and volunteer activities:
• 10 years Toastmasters International (served in various Club, Area, and District Officer roles) • 6 years Tech volunteer, San Diego Indie Music Fest
• 5 years PHS Grad Nite volunteer (1 year served as construction chairperson) • 4 years volunteering with PHS Choir and Theater groups with set construction at PCPA • 4 years volunteering with First Saturdays/ Help the the Homeless in downtown San Diego 7 of 62

Please explain why you want to be appointed to City Council; a separate sheet may be attached .

As a resident of Poway for 24 years, raising two children with my husband, I have often jokingly referred to myself as a chronic volunteer. Leadership roles in Girl Scouts and on school PTA and Foundation boards expanded in scope and impact to serving on the board of my neighborhood's HOA, the GVCA, the Poway Chamber of Commerce and the Poway Unified School District Foundation. Through these various experiences, I have come to understand the myriad of issues facing the city- from water rates, safety, LMDs, and city ordinances to development and prop FF measures-as well as positive and exciting opportunities for the community.

Over the last several years, I have also had the honor and privilege of meeting and interviewing many families, business owners and nonprofit leaders in the community and sharing their remarkable stories with the community each month. This unique opportunity has given me an even greater appreciation for the experiences, viewpoints and values of local residents, particularly in D2, and has affirmed a shared belief that Poway truly is a special place.

Getting involved has never been a means to a specific end for me, but rather a way to give of my time, talent and treasure to help better an organization and those it serves . As a volunteer leader, I have always participated behind the scenes as a decision maker, a doer, a communicator, a collaborator . If appointed to fill the D2 City Council vacancy through 2024, I pledge to continue serving in a positive and effective way. My goal is to bring my collective experience, and love of this community, with me to serve in the best interests of all residents of Poway. '

My objective in wanting to join the Poway City Council is simple : I want to keep Poway safe, clean, and one of CA's most livable and desirable towns. We have seen many towns and cities across CA be destroyed by poor political and fiscal management and Poway has done a great job to avoid these issues and my goal would be to help continue us on this path. I have no interest to run for an election or deal with the many challenges an election candiate faces. If I can however, be appointed to fill a short-term vacancy I would be proud to carry on the great work that has been done to keep our community safe and strong. My top three areas of importance are: 1) maintaining a sound and fiscal budget, 2) maintaining a strong fire and sheriff presense to keep our residents safe and protected, and 3) ensure our public infrastructure continues to be well-ma intained to serve generations to come.

I currently serve my communuty in the following roles: 1 )the Treasur er and Board member for the Honorary Deputy Sheriffs' Association, 2) Board member of the Burn Institute of San Diego and Imperial Counties, 3) the San Diego Council on Literacy, 4) the Poway High School PTSA, School Site Council, Parent Oversight Committee, and Parent Safety Committ ee. I serve on all these boards/committees pro-bono as I truly believe I have a civic duty to give back to my communities to make them a better place for our futur e generations . I don't believe in grand slams but truly believe that base hits can will ball games and in each of my endeavors I aim for base hits. I applaud the City Council for what they have done with our community over the years and would be honored to be part of these efforts over the next roughly 15 months. I also commit that I have no interest or intention to run in the next election. I appreciate the Council's consideration and would welcome the opportunity to serve our great community .

As one not likely to run a campaign for office, I feel that this would be a unique opportunity for me to serve on City Council. Most board positions that I have held were a result of others approching me to serve, rather than me seeking a seat. I have a long history of community involvement. I tend to listen much more than I speak and try to consider a broad range of ideas and input to form a balanced view before making important decisions.

Right now I have the time to devote to city matters as my business is mature and does not require an excessive amount of my time. My kids are grown and I still have the energy to be productive! I have no conflicts of interests that hold me captive to any special interest groups or individuals - actual or perceived. Integrity and trustworthliness are extemely important to me in my personal and professional life.

Given the relatively short-term nature of this appointment, with my experience I feel that I can quickly get up to speed on council matters to properly represent District 2 as well as the City as a whole.

Mayor Vaus and Poway City Council Members-
I am writing to advocate for an appoint ment to Poway's District 2 Counc il Seat. There are several reasons why I would like to be considered to represent the citizens of Poway. As the son of a Korean immigrant, I have always had the heart to serve others and give back to this amazing country that has provided so many opportun ities for me and my fam ily. At a young age, I was commissioned as an active-duty Army tank officer and still serve in the Army Reserve as a Battalion Commander in the rank of lieutenant colonel, leading over 500 soldiers. My service over the last 26 years has taken me to 2 different combat zones and earned me a Combat Action Badge in Afghan istan. These experiences taught me a valuable lesson about servant leadership. True leaders know that servant leadership is the only way to lead. This foundationa l mindset will hopefully allow me to be an effective representative for the citizens of Poway.

In addition, I believe my background as a finance manager and recruiting director developed a strong conviction for financia l responsibility and an ability to think critically about any issue. These traits will allow me to immediately add value to any items brought for conside ration by the council. I've had the privilege to lead teams for some of the most well-run companies in the world. My first role after active-duty military service was at the Intel Corporation as a finance manager . I then led a recruiting team at Amazon in Seattle and then was recruited to San Diego as a recruiting leader for Northrop Grumman. I currently work as a Recruiting Director for Samsara, a hyper growth softwa re company that recently went through the IPO process . I hope my experiences over the last 20 years at these world-class organizations will allow met¢ immediately add value to the city council as we think through some pressing and challenging issues.

My family and I are intimately involved in the community and love living in Poway! Both of my children attend Twin Peaks Middle School. Joshua (14) has been involved wi}~ Poway's nationally recognized wrestling program for over 5 years. Emma (12) was recently recognized as Ms. Junior Teen Poway as part of the Kiwanis Scholarship Pageant. Moreover, I was recently appointed to Poway's budget review counci l and thoroughly enjoyed learning about the city's finances and budgetary planning cycle.

In summary, I am extremely grateful for the opportunity to be considered for an appointment to the Poway City Council. I am committed to working with the Council and the constituents of Poway to keep our city one of the safest cities in California and continuing with the common-sense policies that make Poway the best place to live in San Diego County. Moreover , it would bring my family a special sense of pride to be the first Asian American council member in Poway's history.

Sincerely,
Rob Polston

This year, we celebrate being 30 year residents of the wonderful city of Poway. We moved to Poway in 1993 from a very similar style city in Roseville CA. We've made this our home and raised our family here.

All three of our adult children were educated in the PowaY, USO school system (Chaparral elementary school, Twin Peaks middle school and Poway High schoo~. We are pleased and proud of the education they received and the foundation Poway provided - each successful in their post college adult lives. Our children were active in sports, music, robotics and activities that introduced me to many parents, teachers and residents of Poway. We've made life long friends with many in our community. We are also active in the horse community in South Poway.

Many of the reasons we selected Poway are still in place to this day even as the city has grown from ~40,000 to ~49,000. We enjoy the small town spirit coupled with a professionalism in the operation of the City. I've interacted with many people in City Hall through the years from Community Services, Development Services to Public Works. In each instance , I witnessed a level of professionalism , courtesy, and a true desire to help.

Now that I am retired from work, I am at a point in my life where I want to give back to the City in the Country: I believe I can bring a great deal to help the city strategize , and execute its plans and mission. welcome any questions and the opportunity to serve our great city; it would be an honor to help.

Additional Information: Please provid e any additional information you wish covering your qualifications, interests, community/ professional organizations ortraining related to this appointmen t. take great pride in the city I am happy to call home. Through the years, I've been involved and engaged n school programs, coached sports, provided time and resources to various activities be it help with school events , serve as team photographer, or just as a fan in the stands for Poway sports.

Dear Mayor Vaus and Council Members,
I am a resident of Poway District 2 and I would like to recommend that you appoint Carl Browning to the open City Council seat. I have known Carl for over 30 years.

I first met him when he moved into our Bridlewood
neighborhood. He is a good neighbor, always ready to help on any project. His engineering background, “can do attitude” and logical thinking will be an asset on the city council.

His family is very involved in our community,
often hosting small musical nights that we enjoy attending.

I highly recommend appointing Carl to the open seat as he will represent our district well. I trust him to make thoughtful decisions on behalf of all citizens in our community.

Thank you for considering Carl Browning,

I am a Poway District 2 resident writing to express my enthusiastic support for the appointment of my neighbor, Carl Browning, to the open Poway City Council seat. Over the past three decades, I have had the pleasure of knowing Carl as a close friend and a dedicated parent. Our children attended Poway schools together, which provided us with ample opportunities to witness Carl's outstanding qualities and unwavering commitment to our community.

Throughout the years, I have seen Carl exhibit genuine care and responsibility in every aspect of his life. As a parent, he actively engaged in the education and well-being of our children. Carl consistently demonstrated his dedication by actively participating in school events, volunteering his time and expertise, and fostering a supportive environment for all students.

One of Carl's most commendable attributes is his active listening skills and trustworthiness. He has an innate ability to lend an empathetic ear and truly understand the concerns and perspectives of others. This genuine interest in the well-being of our community, coupled with his thoughtful decision-making, makes him an ideal candidate for the Poway City Council.

I wholeheartedly believe that Carl Browning would make a fine council member. His caring nature, combined with his strong sense of responsibility, will ensure that he approaches the position with the utmost dedication and integrity. Carl's deep understanding of the needs and aspirations of our community, acquired through his active involvement as a parent and his deep roots in Poway, make him uniquely qualified for this role.

I kindly request the Poway City Council to consider Carl Browning's appointment to the vacant City Council seat. I have no doubt that his compassionate, responsible, and trustworthy demeanor will enable him to represent our community's interests effectively.

Thank you for your time and careful consideration. I am confident that appointing Carl Browning to the Poway City Council would be a decision that benefits our community. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you require any additional information.

Dear Mayor Vaus and Members of the City Council,
My name is Rose Maligat and I have been a Poway resident since 1985. I am also an active Poway voter. Due to a vacancy in the District 2 city council member position, I have heard that the city council will be appointing someone soon. I am strongly recommending Carl Browning to take this seat.

I have known Carl since 1998 and he has proven himself to be a caring and conscientious individual with a practical and analytical mind. I met Carl through his volunteering efforts at Poway High School and was impressed with his strong work ethic and dedication. He continued to volunteer at Poway High long after his children had graduated. We have remained in touch and I have attended gatherings at his house for non-profit events and other fundraisers. These events are always wonderfully organized and very popular.

Carl is an honest man with strong morals and integrity. He is dedicated to the city of Poway and I cannot imagine anyone more suited to fill this position.

Sincerely,
Rose Maligat

Some of you may know me through my participation in the Poway Community Leadership Institute (PCLI), work at City Hall, and membership on the Poway Road Corridor Study/Specific Plan committee. I know the caliber of the people that work for and lead our city.

I am writing to you because the City Council will be appointing a replacement council member in District 2. I highly recommend Carl Browning for this appointment.

I have known Carl for over 25 years. We worked together at technology companies throughout the 1990s and 2000’s and because he was so great to work with, we’ve been friends since then.

The attributes that made Carl a wonderful co-worker will make him an effective council member. He listens and evaluates situations from multiple viewpoints in order to find the best solution. He is curious, intelligent and has the technical knowledge to understand methods and resources that can make our city more efficient and work better for all our citizens.

I know Carl will make a great interim council member and you’ll enjoy working with him.
