Dear Everyone,
I am sure you are aware that Councilman Pepin played a key role in the mess between the local businesses and the
McNamara/Santistevan team. Brian, I am sure your intention may not have been to be part of setting up these
businesses to be used ,financially harmed and have contracts broken etc. However, that is what clearly has occurred.
This is backed up with detailed documentation. I have read all the documentation. This is definitely real.
Kevin McNamara has made it clear to the press and residents that Lifetime will be submitting their proposal in the
fall.
I purposely did not name Council Pepin when I spoke in the council meeting. As I felt it was up to him to disclose
his relationship with Santistevan and his role.
I respectfully ask that WHEN the Lifetime Proposal comes that Councilman Pepin recuse himself from the vote
based on his involvement.
Typically municipalities are not involved between businesses and their contracts. However, due to Brian's role,
unfortunately the city is involved by default.
D2SEAT :
I respectfully ask that the council not take the route of placing a replacement for Barry Leonard. I ask that the
democratic process of special election be chosen.
Per a council persons statement, a special election will not happen due to the cost/a budget issue.
This is why I submitted a letter via email to the City Manager and City Clerk to be given to the BRC. However,
members never received my email. I was informed my email wasn't passed to the BRC because a special election
wasn't a budget issue. So you can see my confusion. Is it a budget issue or isn't it? In other cities a special election
is apart of the role of a BRC member; in terms of budgeting and financial evaluation of one. Is that different here? If
so, who makes that fiscal decision and do they provide the budget information justifying that decision to the public?
Thank you,
Alison Park

As you consider how to fill the District 2 City Council seat recently vacated by Council member
Leonard, you may be inclined to appoint someone due to cost, expediency, or politics. But you must
also consider that none of these are strong reasons to bypass the voters of District 2. We can't
suspend democracy simply because it's expensive or inconvenient.
The Board of the Poway Democratic Club strongly urges you to opt to hold a special election to fill
the vacant seat. The voters of District 2 deserve the opportunity to put forth their best candidates
and ultimately to vote for the one they feel will make the best decisions on their behalf.

City Manager Chris Hazeltine
City Council Alan Fenstermacher
I have read the agenda report from Alan Fenstermacher for the June 6, 2023 City Council
Meeting Agenda Item 15, and am concerned that council members may wish to
appoint someone to fill the seat left vacant by Barry Leonard's departure. I feel very
strongly that the residents of Poway District 2 should decide who our next City Council
representative should be, rather than allowing the current council members to appoint
someone of their choosing. The last time that the council appointed a new member rather than
filling the seat by an election was in 2018, prior to completing the transition to electoral
districts, and I think we all remember the ill feelings that caused. While it may be acceptable
to appoint candidates to at-large positions, I believe it would be tantamount to
disenfranchisement of the voters in District 2 to allow the council, the minority of whom
reside in District 2, to choose a representative rather than allowing the people to choose their
own representative.
The selection of City Council Members must be done in a fair, above board, democratic
election. It could be done quite easily, expediently, fairly, and economically by a mail-in ballot
sent to all registered voters in District 2 if cost is a major concern. The agenda report states
that the County Registrar of Voters estimates that a special election may cost between
$175,000 -$300,000. Given that Poway's annual budget (for 2022) was $98,000,000,
even the highest estimate would only be 0.3% of our budget, a minuscule cost to
guarantee that the residents of District 2 are not denied their constitutional right to elect their
representatives in government.
Please do the right thing and allow the residents of District 2 to select their own representative
on the City Council as is our right as American Citizens.
Thanks,
Carl Browning

Barry Leonard
District 2 Council Seat-Item 15 on Tuesday"s agenda
Monday, June 5, 2023 9:08:56 AM
Dear City Clerk and Council (former council) members:
This coming Tuesday, under Item 15, the Council will discuss how to address the
District 2 vacancy created by the resignation of Councilor Leonard. This event comes
at a critical juncture for the City and it is important that this vacancy be filled via a
democratic process rather that by an appointment. Circumventing an election is in
essence a crude form of voter suppression. At the last District 2 election, in 2020,
there were two candidates, the incumbent, Mr. Leonard and a challenger Mr. Factor.
Once the ballots were counted Mr. Leonard prevailed with 4,247 votes with Mr. Factor
receiving 3,188 votes. Voter turnout for Poway, overall, was 89% clearly
demonstrating that the City has engaged and active voters.
An appointment only requires a majority of council members and the Mayor to cast
votes in favor of an individual so instead of over 7,000 citizens casting a vote for their
chosen candidates we have a situation with only 3 people needed to appoint an
individual to fill the open position. This is not a democratic process and may well be
viewed as a cynical approach to maintain business as usual rather than respect the
wishes of the electorate.
An outcome of the Council's previous use of the appointment process is that the
appointees have in effect accepted a poisoned chalice and end up subject to both
direct criticism and a topic for social media comments. One should consider the
remarks from Mr. Leonard at his final council meeting where he noted, ill-informed
malcontents posting on social media. The appointment process will only compound
this situation which appears driven by parsimonious and opaque communication from
council members and my personal view is that the "malcontents" are quite simply
concerned citizens.
Some final comments: (San Diego Union Tribune, February 19th 2023)
From the Mayor of Chula Vista, Mayor John Mccann served on the City Council
when all three appointments took place. Each time, "there have been concerns
about transparency and fairness of the process," he said. "The best vetting
process is an election," he added. "The lesson I've learned is that elections are
better than appointments."
From the League of Women Voters: (referring to the Chula Vista case): "The
League of Women Voters supports choosing officials by a vote of the people,"
League President Kim Knox said in an emailed statement.

Dear Mayor Vaus, Councilmember De Hoff, Councilmember Frank, and Councilmember Pepin,
The process for filling the open District 2 vacancy will be discussed tomorrow at the City
Council meeting: Agenda Item 15.
There were approximately 8,000 voters in the 2020 D2 election, and voter participation was
extremely high. The residents of District 2 obviously care greatly about who they want to
represent them.
If Council decides to appoint, it is key to understand that 3 of the 4 people making such a
decision have NO DIRECT LINK to D2 citizens-we did not elect Mr. De Hoff, Ms. Frank, or Mr.
Pepin. Thus, we do not have representation on Council to make this decision for us.
And as can be seen with the current discourse on the Life Time issue, many D2 residents are
extremely unhappy with the direction Council seems to be taking. It is obvious our previous
councilman and Council have not kept up with the interests, concerns, and culture of our
changing district.
We teach our youth that the best form of government is one that we the people elect. We
teach honesty, fairness, and responsibility to others.
Please respect our common value system . Decide to follow a democratic process -a public
election.
Jana Johnson
District 2 Resident

Dear MayorVaus and Councilmembers De Hoff, Frank, and Pepin,
The League of Women Voters supports filling a vacancy through an elective process
whenever possible. This is consistent with a fundamental value of democracy, which
the League strongly supports, that voters should have the final say on who should
represent them. A special election should be held to elect the next council member for
District 2.
In order to maximize participation in the special election, we respectfully ask that the
City allocate adequate funding for publicity.
The League of Women Voters is available to facilitate candidate forums, if requested.
Sincerely,
Kim Knox

While neither of these two aspects directly involve D 1. I think that even though a minority of
my neighbors are also not directly affected. It would be good and in line with my desire to
have a City Government that "listens". THAT:
1. We put the filling of the Vacated city council seat for D2 on the ballot.
2. We have another vote regarding Prop P and the Farm.
Also, I have Jury Duty, so I hope that I can make it home in time to make it to the meeting.
I would like to speak to an additional item during public comment -specifically an idea about

Subject: Filling Council Vacancies
Poway Mayor and Councilmembers,
Councilmember Leonard's announcement that he will be resigning his position
sets up the situation I dislike most about Poway politics. Historically, the council
has put their thumb on the scale of democracy by filling vacancies by
appointment instead of a special election. This means as few as three people get to
select who will fill the seat. Of course, once the person is in the seat, they now
'have the power of incumbency.
The argument against special elections has always been "it costs too much."
While cost must always be considered, elections are a "cost of doing business" in
a democracy! Now that we have council districts, the cost would be one-quarter of
a citywide election. If a special election is mail ballot only, the costs would be
even further reduced. I think we have enough money in our reserve fund to cover
the cost of a special election.
The County Supervisors have given us examples of preserving democracy when
vacancies occur. The first case is when Sheriff Gore retired. The Supervisors
appointed an Interim Sheriff who was not a candidate for the position of Sheriff.
As a result, nobody running for Sheriff had a head start in the election for a full
term. The second case is with the recent resignation of Nathan Fletcher. With over
18 of 30 June 6, 2023, Item #15
a year left in his term, they chose to fill the seat with a Special Election. The
winner of the election will now be selected by the voters in the district and not as
few as three Supervisors.
I know vacancies can be viewed as a Golden Ticket to sitting council members,
but I urge you to resist that impulse. Please protect democracy by filling the
vacancy via special election. If you must appoint an interim council member,
please only accept applications from people who affirm that they will not run for
the position in 2024. Yes, I know people change their minds (lie), but at least it
will be visible to everyone.
My preference is to conduct a special election. Let interested people work to get
approval of voters in the district and not work behind the scenes to get approval of
three councilmembers.
Best regards,

We have been residents of Poway for 50 years, living on the old StoneRidge Golf Course. We have been very
disappointed with Bob Manus as well as the City Council for what you have approved regarding The Farm! We feel
that we as longtime residents believe that the replacement for Barry Leonard should be by a vote of the people in
District 2 and not by the City Council which has happened several times in the past. We frankly are sick and tired of
the good old boy mentality that is affecting our quality of life. Therefore we strongly believe a special election

should be filled by the residents of that district, not by the fewer council members who are not representing that
district.
Sincerely,
Claire Weiner
