I am writing to express my support for Item IXA, the appointment of Professor Eric Silkenson to the Huntington Beach Mobile Home Advisory Board. I had the great privilege to meet Professor Silkenson on the campaign trail in 2020. While the candidates initially were limited to virtual debates. I later met Professor Silkenson in real life at a dinner hosted by Mr.And Mrs.Jerome McKinish at their home. Professor Silkenson remains a friend. Professor Silkenson has been a schoolmaster at Edison High School for several years. Professor Silkenson is very knowledgeable about many Huntingtonian issues.. Professor Silkenson•s background as a schoolmaster will bring a unique perspective of the needs of children to the Huntington Beach Mobile Home Advisory Board. Once again, I urge the Huntington Beach City Council to approve the appointment of Professor Silkenson to the Huntington Beach Mobile Home Advisory Board. CC:The Honorable J.
