Statement of JEFFREY S. BERNARDINI, Candidate for Treasurer, Short Term Occupation: Legal Administrator Education and Qualifications: The City Treasurer position was created by the people of the City of Morgan Hill to have a person who is independent of the City to watch over its investments. This position is a safeguard against any improprieties that may occur. I am committed to making sure that all investments made for the city, that are overseen by the City Treasurer, are prudent and safe. My education is in business, paralegalism and leadership. For over twenty years I have watched Morgan Hill grow, as a resident of this area. It is my goal to make sure that the City of Morgan Hill will be in a strong financial position as we head into the 21st century. The position of City Treasurer is one way that I can contribute to this goal. Being a self employed entrepreneur in this community for twenty years, I have been responsible for overseeing budgets, investments, employees and all facets of business. I believe that this experience makes me a qualified candidate for this elected position. I have been with my wife for over 17 years and have two daughters growing up in this community.
