FOR MEMBER OF THE CITY COUNCIL JUDY CODY Age: Occupation: 49 Local Business Fiscal responsibility and accountability, commitment, integrity, and an ability to do what I've promised are not just campaign promises. These are examples of my track record in Claremont. I care about this community. I have served on the Board of Education and the Los Angeles County Commission of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs, and was a founder and chair of the San Gabriel Valley Coalition for Education. Now I want to use my energy, common sense, and experience to continue my civic duty on the council. With limited funding, we have an obligation to examine our city's tax dollars. I will work to balance community needs, as well as desires, with available community resources. Being a partner in a self-owned business has taught me to maintain service while controlling costs. I will work to stop unfunded mandates that needlessly tie up local money and to modify limitations on restricted monies on the local, regional and state level. Our city is dynamic. I want to continue coordinating efforts with all its varied segments, while focusing on safe and vital neighborhoods, youth, traffic, police protection, garbage, and other issues facing Claremont. I ask for yöur ?upport, together we can build a better community. /s/ Judy Cody FOR MEMBER OF THE CITY COUNCIL COREY CALA YCA Y Age~ 23 Occupation: Administrative Assistant Claremont is a diverse community composed of individuals of many different backgrounds, concerns, and-viewpoints. Despite this fact, a significant number of decisions made by our city council, particularly on controversial or contested issues, are approved with a unanimous (5-0) vote. If we look at other levels of government, we see more split votes and fewer unanimous votes. This welcome difference of opinion is better known as "democracy." Cønsistent unanimous votes suggest a "group think" mentality and discourage citizens with differing viewpoints from participating in the political process. To quote General George Patton, "if everyone is thinking alike, no one is thinking at all." Claremont has been my home for twenty years. I am a graduate of Foothill Country Day and Webb Schools. I received my degree in business administration from Loyola Marymount University in 1992. I am a parishioner of O.L.A. Catholic Church and served on the Local Suppression of Drug Abuse in Schools Advisory Committee for Los Angeles County from 1989-1992. I am seeking the position of councilmember to bring a fresh perspective to city government in an attempt to reflect the opinions of a greater number of Claremont citizens. I appreciate your support. /s/ Corey Calaycay FOR MEMBER OF THE CITY COUNCIL THOMAS WAYNE RIMRODT Age: 27 Occupation: Graduate Student If it is your belief that it is time for the bickering to stop between the City and the Claremont Colleges, then I am the candidate that you have been waiting for. It is my belief that the Colleges and the citizens of Claremont, if they work together instead of against each other, can achieve much more than any of us can imagine. In plain ordinary words, what I am advocating is communication. I believe that I am the best suited candidate (bridge builder) for this task. Not only am I a home owner in Claremont, but also a Ph.D. student in political science at the Claremont Graduate School and have experience in the governance of an academic institution. I have a masters in Public Administration emphasizing Public Management and have practical experience in city governance. This experience includes: Governmental Budgeting; Public Personnel Administration; Public Finance Administration; and Local Government Financial Management. Most recently, I acted as both assistant to the City Manager and consultant for the Town of Atherton. I have the training, knowledge, and experience to be on the Council, but of greater importance, I have the will and the desire to do the best that I can. /s/ Thomas Wayne Rimrodt FOR MEMBER OF THE CITY COUNCIL DIANN RING Age: O~cupation: 51 Mayor/Community Volunteer Claremont is a community that works. Facing new, often harsh, economic realities, we continue to move forward -- together -- by drawing on our collective talents and deep commitment to our past and future. Momentum in town remains vigorous: the building of a community-wide process for goal-setting and financial planning, and the ongoing efforts with the school district and other agencies to realize financial efficiencies and streamline service delivery. Our accomplishments are many: new affordable senior housing; hillside preservation; increased maintenance of streets and sidewalks; the retrofit of irrigation systems and landscaping that has saved 30% in water usage; the reopening of our landmark depot and arrival of Metrolink. Challenges remain. Exciting efforts are underway to meet our youth's needs. We need to support business in these difficult times, and we need to resolve issues so that both neighborhoods and colleges thrive. Working with you in neighborhood groups, youth sports, PFA, chamber of commerce, and other organizations has been my rich reward. I have come to know many of you, and I am awed by all you do for this community. I pledge to do the same, and welcome your continued support in making Claremont a great place to live and work. /s/ Diann Ring r i FOR MEMBER OF THE CITY COUNCIL ALGIRD G. LEIGA Age: 60 Occupation: Business Executive/Councifmember As a Councifmemb~r, I will continue to apply a business oriented approach to solving problems. I am actively involved in our community where I am President of the Claremont Community Coordinating Council, Chair of Pomona Valley Transportation Authority and a board member of both the San Gabriel Valley Association of Cities and Mosquito Abatement District. My community service experience will help me address issues associated with public safety, youth, city services, air quality, transportation and planning. I will use my business management experience to improve our financial health through sound budgeting, improved operating efficiencies and business development. Maintaining and improving public safety is a high priority. In cooperation with our schools, I want our community to implement meaningful youth programs and joint operating efficiencies. I will continue to listen to people to make our city more friendly to businesses and citizens. I have proudly served on the Council these last four years, and I have worked to keep Claremont a city we call home with safe streets, youth activities, senior citizen programs, well maintained roads and beautiful trees. I will maintain the qualities that drew us all to this community. I ask for your vote and ideas to continue to improve our city. Isl Algird G.
