ATTACHMENT "A" TO 09/18/01 MINUTES MEMORANDUM September 18, 2001 Mr. Michael Dalla National City City Clerk 1243 National City Blvd. National City, CA 91950 Dear Mr. Della After considerable thought and soul-searching, I have decided to resign from my position as a member of National City Council. After almost three years of learning and working hard for the best interest of the people of National City, I decided to take my life into a new direction. A direction that includes important improvement in my personal and professional development, a new vocation and a new home. It is with a mixture of both happiness and regret that I tender this resignation effective Thursday, September 20, 2001. I leave my office with many pleasant memories. The experience has been rewarding in many ways. Although I believe that I still have many things to offer the city, I also believe that leaving my position will give me the opportunity to devote more time to care for my terminally ill mother and to work on remedying mistakes I have made personally and professionally. Thank you for all the help and many personal kindnesses. CC: City Mayor Council Members City Manager City Attorney Director, Personnel Department
