Dear Ms. Sullivan,
I wish to correct an omission in the title of one of my references. Marilyn Manning is a member of the El Camino Hospital
Foundation Board. not the El Camino Hospital Board. The later is an elective position. Marilyn and I were appointed to
the Foundation Board in 2008.
Would you please attach this correction to my Application for the accuracy of the record. I have alerted Ms. Manning to
the error.
Thank you, Linda

Mayor and Council Members:
This letter concerns a Point of Order about tonight's selection process. Mayor King
must recuse herself from the entire proceedings. Manny Capella, one of the
applicants tonight, has told a number of folks that he will be a candidate for the
City Council in November and also said Kathleen King has agreed to support
him and work with him on his campaign. Since other applicants for this
appointment are announced candidates for the November Council election, it is
clear that the Council appointment may have a dramatic effect upon the November
election. On that basis, and because Ms. King has expressed a political affiliation
for one of tonight's applicants, Ms. King must recuse from tonight's proceeding. If
Ms. King or other Council members have any doubt, I would ask them to secure an
immediate opinion from the City Attorney as to whether her prior agreed to
political alliance with one of the candidates for this appointment is not sufficient
grounds requiring immediate and complete recusal. Ms. King should have known
that and should not have taken part in the decision about how to fill the vacancy,
what questions would be asked, etc. Those prior Council proceedings are now
hopelessly compromised.
Sincerely,
Jeffrey A. Schwartz
