REMINDER TO VOTE!
Lisa Bartlett for OC 5th District Supervisor
As previously explained, your boaters association has decided to endorse Dana Point Mayor Lisa Bartlett in the upcoming election for Orange County Supervisor. Our reasons include her significant background in harbor affairs, a complex and often confusing subject to put it mildly, as well as her understanding and support of recreational boating needs. The election is just around the corner and Lisa has asked us to share the message below.
As a 25+ year resident of Dana Point I understand the value and joy our harbor brings to boaters, residents, and visitors alike. As a member of the Dana Point City Council I have devoted my time to maintaining the coastal atmosphere we hold dear to our hearts, while supporting and improving the development of our local economy.
The County of Orange, in association with the City of Dana Point, has decided to make the revitalization of Dana Point Harbor a priority. With this in mind, it is crucial for South Orange County to elect a new County Supervisor who has first hand knowledge of the harbor and its history, the Coastal Commission, and truly understands the needs of the boaters who use the harbor on a daily basis. In part, this is why I value and support the Dana Point Boaters Association. Collaborating on this project with this organization will add remarkable value to the long-term success of this project. I understand that the design and installation of the new docks are of great importance to the recreational boaters as it has been confirmed that the existing docks may not be in a maintainable condition after the next five years. This is why we need to get this project off the ground and running before it is too late.
Considering phase one of the harbor revitalization plan focuses on the development of the landside improvements, it is critical that the waterside improvement phase follow without delay. Funding sources for both phases of the project need to be identified, put to work and made available to the public.
The county budget is very constrained and with so many other priorities it is important that we have the best leadership to represent us so this south Orange County asset is not abandoned halfway through the revitalization process without fully addressing the needs of the harbor community.
I have a Bachelor's degree in Finance, a Masters degree in Business Administration. I am a Certified Project Management Professional (PMP) and a licensed Real Estate Broker. I spent 15 years as a corporate executive for an international computer software company and currently serve as a partner at a real estate and investment firm. As the only candidate for Orange County Supervisor who meets all the criteria for serving America's fifth largest county, I have the ability and foresight to address the needs and build consensus among the boating community, I respectfully ask for your vote.
If you have any comments, questions or suggestions about the Harbor Revitalization Project or other harbor, city or county issues, please do not hesitate to contact me directly. Also, please remember, vote Lisa Bartlett for Orange County Supervisor on November 4th.

Mayor, City of Dana Point
