Occupation: Businesswoman/Director, BCWD

Education and Qualifications:

"Coming together for a better Belmont" is my platform for the Belmont City
Council. I believe the citizens of Belmont have great ideas toward making our
City a better one ... and I support your bringing ideas to me as a council
member.

Background & Experience:

	* Belmont Homeowner, eleven years
	* Elected Board Member, Belmont County Water District
	* Appointed Representative, San Mateo County Chapter of Special District
Association
	* Corporate Career, thirty years, management of people and organizational
areas (including allocating and tracking a multi-million-dollar-
 budget)
	* Real Estate Broker
	* Member, Belmont Chamber of Commerce
	* Member & Board Member (past), Belmont Heights Civic Improvement
Association
	* Board President (past), The Knolls
	* Member, "The Ninety-Nines, Inc." International Organization of Women
Pilots

As one Director of Belmont County Water District (BCWD), I initiated and/or
supported the following:

	* Formed citizens committee to preserve the "Little People" fire hydrants
without sacrificing safety and identification of hydrants in emergencies,
	* Formed citizens committee to study and recommend short-term and long-term
project financing,
	* Streamlined personnel operations,
	* Moved to pay-for-performance compensation plan,
	* Relocated the operations yard from residential neighborhood, and 
	* Supported annexation by City of Belmont of those portions of Harbor
Industrial Area that are serviced by BCWD.

My career experiences and background allow me to examine issues from varied
perspectives -- my strength is in considering any and all input to avoid
"top-down" decision-making. I speak freely on behalf of, and in support of, my
community. Many residents are aware that I accept nothing as a "given" untilÜ
	* all questions have been asked and answered,
	* all facts revealed, and
	* all avenues traveled toward reaching a positive result.

Belmont (beautiful mountain) in the last century was a Village with some large
estates, and has today evolved into a desirable community on the Mid-Peninsula
in which to live and work. My IDEAL is to retain the 
Best-of-Belmont as we grow into the next century. By participating as a
candidate for the Belmont City Council, I am giving you a choice -- choice of a
candidate who considers the welfare and interests of the citizens of Belmont.

I bring fiscal responsibility as well as my honesty and integrity to the
Council. I respectfully ask for your vote on November 4th, so that collectively
we can work toward COMING TOGETHER FOR A BETTER BELMONT.

/s/ Eleanore Hahn
