RE: Seal Beach Pickleball Association
Dear Jill:
The controversy over my participation with the non-profit Seal Beach Pickleball Association ("SBPA") has
been disappointing and misinformed. As you know, SBPA was formed by a group of volunteers who
offered to help organize and promote the growing sport of Pickleball in the City. Although neither I, nor
any other SBPA volunteer, would ever receive financial compensation from SBPA or the City, l took the
advice of the City Attorney and completely abstained from the City Council's consideration of the MOU..I
even left the room while the contract was being considered to avoid even the appearance that I
influenced the decision.
There will be no compensation from the City to SBPA, and the volunteers who promote the sport of
Pickleball under the MOU will not be compensated. The MOU specifically requires SBPA to dedicate
revenue it earns to improving the Center and the sport. Thus, the rumors that I would somehow profit
off this MOU are false, and have been personally damaging tome. Itis unfortunate that my participation
in a community-based effort to promote a sport I enjoy has become a distraction from the good work
SBPA is already doing.
To eliminate further controversy and false rumors, I have resigned from the Board of Directors of the Seal
Beach Pickleball Association, effective immediately. SBPA will file amendments with the California
Secretary of State as soon as possible.
Sincerely,
MV/ria a
