As a resident of Lake Morena since 1978, I am running for a seat on the
Campo/Lake Morena Planning Group to serve as a voice for the people in
the community. I have worked locally for over twenty years while raising my
three daughters. During that time, I was involved in the PTA and Girl
Scouts and I am currently an active member of the Mountain Empire /
Campo Kiwanis. My vision for our community is to see balanced growth

As an advisory group to the County Planning Commission, I believe
the Campo-Lake Morena Planning Group has a chartered
responsibility to both seek and listen to Community input regarding
land use issues in our area. I don’t think this is happening under the
current board. As the County population continues to grow, growth

Jean Bates
I am running as an incumbent for the Campo/Lake Morena Planning
Group. My last four years have been served with integrity and I pledge
to continue to serve the needs of the community. We need to plan
ahead to make this area a better place to live. My late husband and I
moved to this area in 1947 with our earth moving business operating
out of our 120 A. ranch. We were responsible for building many of the
Soil Conservation engineered dams which were needed for flood
control. The original athletic fields at the old Mt. Empire High school at
Camp Lockett were constructed by us. My children attended Campo
elementary school where I served as PTA president. The Campo
Athletic Association was organized under my direction and I started

members to the Planning Group who will represent a broader spectrum of our community. As a long-term
resident and an employee of a local business, I believe that I can offer unique insight into the diverse needs
of the Campo/Lake Morena area. Furthermore, if elected, I will listen to the people and do my best to
represent their concerns and desires for our future. I ask for your vote for balanced growth and a better
community.

of our community while enhancing the quality of life for all of our residents. Supported by public input, well
founded decisions by this group of elected members are essential to the future of our area. I am prepared
to work with the Planning Group to ensure our input to the Planning Commission represents community
desires and concerns, and not those of any individual or small group of residents.

the first Little League team in Campo. My employment with the Roberts Clothing manufacturing plant in the
old Lockett warehouse gave me not only a skill that I used in later employment but also showed me how a
clean industry can provide jobs for the community (in that case over 50). One of my goals is to encourage
that type of employment so that our employable community members can stay on the "Hill".

also an active member of the Campo/Lake Morena Business Association and have just become Red
Cross certified for shelter operations.
I believe in growth at a manageable rate while preserving our rural lifestyle. I see a need for the creation of
local businesses and jobs in our area. I will listen to and represent the whole community of Lake Morena
and Campo. Thank you for your vote.
