Due to Mc Rindone's leadership and Seniority he fully represents the City's best I ~ ~~=" 1 ~ ` ~ '"'' '' interest on all of these critical leadership committees. Failure to have Mr. Rindone's leadership on all of these committees would eliminate the City of Chula Vista's best Interest on this multifaceted regional organization. I+~i,.,. It is of critical importance to have Longevity in serving on the MTS Board. Previous City of Chula Vista Councils reappointed Jerry Rindone to safeguard the City of Chula Vista place in maintaining our continued access and influence in decisions made by the MTS complex organization. ' Jerry has successfully served for the last twenty two years in this position. He was [he lone advocate on the Executive Board for the single Trolley system with [he ~ % !' ~ ~ - new 5-70's Low floor cars on [he Blue Line and upgrading all Trolley Stations. I This work has begun and will significantly improve the image in our gateway corridors "H" Street and "E" Street.

Mr. Rindone's continued participation on our Board will be critical for the agency as we attempt to weather today's economic climate and fiscal uncertainty. For twenty years Mr. Rindone has served Chula Vista well as its representative on the MTS Board. He has achieved a level of leadership -- as Vice Chair of the Board (17 years), Chair of the Budget Development and Finance Committees, and MTS appointee to SANDAG -- which has placed him in an advantageous position to advance the cause of transit in Chula Vista and the Southbay. That continued leadership has been a source of strength for our agency as we have developed our system. I believe that essential projects, such as the Blue Line Trolley Renewal that is underway today, could not have been achieved without the assistance of Vice Chairman Rindone. Chula Vista and the entire region will benefit from Mr. Rindone's continued participation at MTS. His combination of sound fiscal judgment and genuine care for the people of the South Bay and this region will continue to promote a sustainable public transit system for the future. He has been a persistent and effective advocate for Chula Vista. I urge you to reappoint Mr. Rindone to the MTS Board so that we can continue together to serve the community's needs.

Commissioner Padilla's record for accomplishments for our City and the Community are of great magnitude. Since the day of his appointment he has hit the ground running. Commissioner Padilla was instrumental in the Environmental Impact Report Certification, the decommissioning of our timeworn South Bay Power Plant, and the approval of our critical Bayfront land swap trade. Commissioner Padilla was able to accomplish these great tasks while building understanding and consensus to the importance of our Bayfront project. Commissioner Padilla will serve this year as the Vice Chairman of the San Diego Unified Port District. Based on all of his accomplishments in a short period of one year, he will continue to ensure Chula Visla's influence during this critical time for the continued leadership for our city. The City of Chula Vista deserves a World Class Destination Bayfront. Your reappointment of Commissioner Padilla will carry forward our efforts to see this dream come to fruition. We respectfully request your leadership in the reappointment of Commissioner Stephen Padilla for a full term. Sincerely, Lisa Cohen CEO Chula Vista Chamber of Commerce t };a`) 1 ;,<~ C. iyh~ ~,
