As mayor of the largest city in San Joaquin County, I would be
honored to serve on the SJ Valley Air Pollution Control Board. Our
region needs to be at the table when policy discussions occur on how
to improve valley air quality without compromising our economic
development as a region.
To give you some personal history, I grew up on a family farm in
Merced, attended college in Fresno, lived and worked in Modesto,
and have resided in Stockton for over 32 years. My family has
invested in valley agriculture and business for some 65 years.
-My background as a retail business owner in Stockton for the past 28
years gives me a perspective on what should be realistic outcomes
when balancing environmental law with practical implementation. My
experience in dealing with state and federal regulatory agencies
allows me to bring a business perspective as well as an elected
official's knowledge of environmental mandates.
Our valley is struggling today to rise above an economic disaster area
designation; we must work to balance the needs of our residents, our
businesses, and the environment.
Thank you for consideration of my appointment to the Air Pollution
Control Board.

My name is Elbert Holman, Jr. I am a lifelong resident of Stockton, Calif.
attended local, secondary schools and also attended Cal Poly (SLO), and UOP.
am presently retired after a 34yr law enforcement career. I spent 20yrs with the
Sart Joaquin County Sheriff Department and 14yrs with the San Joaquin County
District Attorney's Office. I retired in 2005 as the Chief of the Investigations
Division. 1 am also a graduate of the prestigious FBI National Academy. In January
2009 I was appointed bythe Stockton City Council to fulfill the unexpired term of
Counciilmember Steve Bestolarideswho was elected to the San Joaquin County
Board of Supervisors in the last election.
The San Joaquin Valley is projected to be one of the fastest growing areas in the
U.S. and with that growth will come potential problems that could seriously affect
our quality of health as it relates to the quality of the air in the valley. Ifeel that
an efficient and effective strategy for the management of air quality in the valley
is needed. The San Joaquin Valley has experienced the effects of a weak economy
so any strategies have to be made so as notto disrupt any prosperity that has
already been gained yet still be creative enough to develop viable alternatives to
significantly reduce emissions and do so in a cost effective manner.
Over the course of my career I have had the experience of working with othersto
bring a solution to some complex problems. I would like to work with the
members of this board to addressthe unique needs of the San Joaquin Valley as it
relatesto air quality. I believe I can do this openly and Iwill respect the opinions
of others and Iwill look out for the interest of alIvalley residents.
want to thank you in advance for your consideration of my application for this
position.
