Dear City Councilors,
Thank you for welcoming public input as you select your 5th council member to finish Michael
Dacquisto's term. I haven't addressed my city leaders since speaking in support of Turtle Bay almost
25 years ago and then the Sheraton Hotel a decade ago. Since those projects turned out pretty well
for the city, I'm hoping you'll welcome my opinion here as well, as I'm unable to attend tomorrow's
meeting in person.
Please appoint Erin Resner to fill the temporary council position i I've known her for over a decade
because of her family's involvement in the success of Turtle Bay, from which I retired in 2017. I also
served for years with her on the Cabinet (board) of The Women's Fund. And I've had the opportunity
to have a front row seat observing her copious volunteer work on behalf of local youth --CASA
volunteer, Children's Legacy Center, etc. MOSTLY... she's an experienced city council member!
You have a unique opportunity to fill this position with someone who can literally hit the ground
running. As a former mayor and councilor, and continuing community volunteer, Erin is already well-
versed in all the complex issues, rules & regs., and nuances of doing this exact work. I served as a
local nigh school board member for 9 years, completing a Masters in Governance certificate from
the California School Board Ass'n. I know how complex government and governance is! And YOU
know that better than all of us.
I've heard great things about Mr.Johnson and look forward to him serving us devoted Redding
constituents in various ways in the years ahead. But right now...right here...you have the chance to
continue your excellent governance of our hometown-of-choice without missing a beat! Erin is the
person to do thati
I sincerely hope you won't make the kind of decision our coun leaders have been making too often
lately, allowing personal preferences (or vendettas in their case)to lead you to select the obviously
less-qualified candidates for various important positions. (1've literally been embarrassed by how
their actions are reflecting on our community.) When all candidates demonstrate commitment and
one stands head and shoulders above the rest in experience, I would think your choice should be an
easy one. In our best interests, please select Erin Resner as your temporary fellow member of the
Redding City Council.
Thank you,
Bev (&Sonny) Stupek

Ni Tenessa,
I hope this email finds you well and enjoying your summer. I am writing to you in advance of tonight's Special
Meeting to express my desire for the Council to appoint Erin Resner to fill the vacant City Council seat to get us
through the fall election. It is my belief that appointing a past Council member with experience in the business of
our City is in the best interest of the constituents. Appointing a community member who is new to the governance
necessary to operate as a fiduciary of the people takes time to onboard. I am sure you will recall when you joined
City Council the learning curve you experienced. With that in mind, I would ask you to vote in support of Erin to fill
the vacant seat so we can continue with the significant and immediate decisions before our City Council.
Thank you for your consideration.
With gratitude,

Mayor Audette,Vice Mayor Winter, Mayor Pro Tempore Muns, &Counci) Member Mezzano,
This brief note is to express my support in your appointing Erin Resner to fill the vacant City Council
Member position.
In light of her previous experience with the City of Redding, including time as a former member of
the Council, I believe Ms Resner has the experience and the ability to quickly move into an active
Council Member position in the (short) remaining time of the vacant position. Given the significant
and immediate decisions pending with our City Council, it is important we have someone who can
"come up to speed"very quickly in order to keep our community moving forward.
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Stephen Campbell
