PATRICK WICKENS
For City Council


Dear District 3 Resident,

My name is Pat Wickens, and I'm running for City Council in District 3.  This council seat is open because Mike Gin has served two terms and cannot run again.

I have lived in Redondo Beach for over 20 years.  My wife, Dede Moore, is a physician at the Little Company of Mary Urgent Care Center and we have a house on Paulina Avenue.  We are active in local running, cycling and triathlon clubs.

Along with some great volunteers, I supported Chris Cagle and the Citizens Group in the petition drive to rescind the Heart of the City Plan and get Chris elected to the City Council.  I am the only candidate that has taken this position.

I am proud to have the endorsement of Chris Cagle.

I am running on the following principles:

Quality of Life...  Our city government has not altered the original Heart of the City Plan which can be re-approved as early as June, 2003.  I will work with Chris Cagle to see that this plan for almost 3,000 new homes and 5,000 cars is changed.
Trust...  I wil serve with integrity, honesty and commitment.  I have no real estate development interests, no obligations to business organizations or empoyee unions, and no ties to developers, power plant owners, etc.  I will represent the the residents and homeowners.
Communication & Accessibility...  Since becoming eligible for early retirement, I have the time, energy and resources to contribute as a full-time City Councilman.

In addition, I have a background of 30 years in business management, education, leadership, and community service which is unique and includes:

> Commissioner, Redondo Beach Public Works Commission
> Beach Cities Health District Finance Committee - overseeing a $45 million budget
> MBA Degree, Indiana Univeristy... BS Degree, Purdue University
> Aerospace Department Manager, Hospital Management District Manager
> Teacher, UCLA and El Camino College/US Army National Guard

Please remember to vote for Patrick Wickens
