When determining how to fi11 a Council vacancy two factors must be considered. This first is whether the council member is leaving office in the first or second half of their term. When council members leave office in the second half of their term, the appointed replacement serves the remainder of the unexpired term - Gov. Code § 36512(b)(2)(B). On the other hand, when a council member retires in the first half of their term, it is necessary to look at a second factor - whether the vacancy occurs at least 130 day prior to the next general municipal election. If the vacancy exists at least 130 days prior to the next general municipal election, then an appointment, if made, is only temporary. In that case, the appointee serves until the person elected at the general election takes office. Tf the vacancy exists less than 130 days before the next general municipal election, then the appointee serves the remainder of the unexpired term.

Hello Jack, Mark,Julie &Tenessa, I am writing to share my opinion on the decision you all will be making tonignt. I have a family commitment this evening otherwise I'd be sharing this in person. I know some of you well, and otners in name and reputation. I appreciate the service and time commitment you all make for the good of our community.Thank you. I am a local businessman and currently run The Adventure Challenge. I moved to Redding in 2003 and quickly adopted our City as my hometown. 1've had the great privilege of bringing a half dozen businesses to town and to have hired 500+of our citizens. I have met amazing leaders in town who are on a similar mission to improve our city, tackle hard issues, and better our community today and for the future. These leaders are the foundation of our community.Joshua is one of these leaders and I have had a front row seat of his impact. I've been a board member of his previous company. Ive coached little league with him the last 5 seasons. We've sat on several committees together. He has been my contractor in the 1.6M renovation project of the previous Oregon street antique mall and new Adventure Challenge HQ. I've sat with him during the planning phase of what is now Shiloh park, and saw him overcome challenges again and again. I've witnessed him develop key relationships throughout our city to make positive change happen and overcome issues that were previously thought not to be possible. I've seen him take on hardships and difficult issues head on. I've seen him handle bad calis, hard business decisions, legal disputes, high level negotiations all with a clear head, high integrity, and sound judgment. All this while working to build relational bridges, foster a closer community, and greatly improve our town...and still have time for his family(and volleyball). Having spent the better part of the last decade on boards, committees,job sites, ballfields, and large negotiations with Joshua...l can say wnoleheartedly that he is the real deal &wno we need on the Council. f d�r�`t l�eli�v�t��r�is� ��tt�r��a��i��fcar tF�e 5t�s���ar��ity cc���ci�tc�day..�th�n,���h��J��s�se�r�. ��r�����Y tc�di�cuss rr�y ex��rier�c�rr�esr��in dept� if i�'s h�l��ul.�f�t���es�, T�r�(�t4ari��Ilc� �-� Tir�N��rirro�ll� � TF�e�dver�fi�r����Il�r�g� 1� ��"��,���3t��r��hal��t��.�
