"An election in January or February would guarantee an even lower turnout.." [My concern.; what data is this
<br />statement based upon? Has Roseville — or a comparable community -- ever had a special election in January or
<br />February, and has Ms. Curti reviewed that data in making this statement. If so, it is justified. If not, it is personal
<br />opinion.]
<br />"That [historical process of appointment] has worked for more than 50 years, why should it change now? ?� [My
<br />concern: Ms. Culrti has elviery right to an opinion about whether, the appointment process "works". So do the
<br />citizens ofRoseville. Unfortunately, the citizens are not being allowed to submit their views i-n writing for retention
<br />as the, official record, ]
<br />"Som�e pleoplle have argued that Craig Klausing is appointing his own successor. I would argue differently ... so
<br />the public knew, what they were voting for when they votedl," [Aga.in,, this is Ms. Curti's personal opinion and not
<br />one that reflects the official views of the City. Therefore, I believe that it doesn't belong in the record.]
<br />Please note, and Please feel free to share with Ms. Curti if you deem it appropriate,, that I do not intend in any
<br />manner, to object to her having an opinion on this important topic. I applaud her for such, as I will applaud all
<br />citizens who care enough about the. city and its processes to have a personal viewpoint. I object only to the
<br />,access Ms.. Culrti has taken to express her views in the official city record, a vehicle of publication that is not
<br />available to other citizens and should be used only to record the business of the city.
<br />Thank your for your attention to this matter.

<br />SuI bject: Special Election and Continuation of Primary Elections
<br />Mayor and Coluncil Members,
<br />ll am unable, to attend tonight's public hearing because of other clommitrnents.
<br />I am against spending such a, large, amount of money for a special election. I am totally against holding an election,
<br />special or general, without a primary. We have already been down that road and I am shocked to see such an item in the
<br />budget cut recommiendatillons, I believe, I heard Mr. tough verbally make such a. recommendation, but would like to know
<br />who actually included it in the list of budget cuts. Itos inclusion toy tally ignores the feedback given by Roseville residents
<br />when the mayor and Mr. Schroeder worked to get rid of primary, elections.
<br />KE
