Hi School/2 years Jr. College

AS A MILLBRAE RESIDENT FOR 34 YEARS, I HAVE GROWN TO LOVE THIS CITY!

I am not a professional politician or an attorney. I am a local business
person, and a concerned citizen.

I am concerned that amid all the wheeling and dealing, our City Council has
lost touch with the average citizen. I am concerned about the civil treatment
of our citizens. I am also concerned about some of the actions that our City
Council has taken.

Examples:

	(1)  $59,977.00 for banners when the Senior Center was refused funding for
chairs.
	(2)  City Council Members employed by BART immediately after negotiating
with them.
	(3)  Approval of a parking garage with entry clearances too low for our
emergency vehicles.

Are you as concerned as I am about the direction the city is taking?

If you would like to be a part of a team effort to bring Millbrae into the
twenty-first century on time and under budget, and to restore respect for
citizens' rights to city government, please support my candidacy for City
Council on November 4th.

Please call me at 697-3375 with your concerns, questions or ideas.

/s/ Howard Atkins
