appreciate your continued s upport with your C ity's official vote.
As you know, Temple City has always supported me in representing yo ur city and the other cities

a resolution, which must be received by December 18, 2018, at 12:00 p.m. via hand delivery,

especially with the extremely expensive stormwater re g ulations we are facing. I think it is
important for our representative to be involved in the multiple issues we face as we build
re lati o nships to make a difference.
