Council Members,
March 29, 2023
My name is Patrick Manly. I am writing to voice my support for JoAnne
Mounce to be appointed as the council member for District 4.
I read through the applications filed by all four individuals, which
information is posted on the City of Lodi website, who hope to be
appointed to the vacant District 4 council seat. The three applicants
other than Ms. Mounce have some good qualities, based on what I read
in their applications.
But, Ms. Mounce has what the City of Lodi and the current council
needs at this point in time and what the other three applicants lack --
-Mergence. Ms. Mounce not only has experience in serving on the
council, which is well-known and well-documented, but Ms. Mounce has
experience in life that only comes with age. These two factors are why I
feel Ms. Mounce should be the clear choice to be appointed to serve as
council member for District 4.
My concern, and the concern of many Lodi residents, is that if one of the
applicants for the District 4 seat other than Ms. Mounce is appointed,
then the new, five member council will have four members with a
combined total of roughly three years of experience on the council.
Thanks for taking the time to read my letter and for considering my
thoughts.
Pat Manly
