Official Ballot Statement

Robert E. Boeddiker	Age: 76
Occupation: Retired Insurance Broker

Education & Qualifications:

I did my undergraduate work at the University of California at Berkeley and I
received a law degree from the University of San Francisco. I am a retired Lt.
Colonel in the Marine Corps reserve. My Marine Corps experience included active
duty during World War II and the Korean War. Other civic activities included
work with the Hoover Boys Club and as President of the Kiwanis Club.

I take great pride in the accomplishments of the fire district since I was
first appointed to the board in 1993. Since that time a seventh station was
added, equipment was upgraded, the paramedic program was enhanced, and the
search and rescue task force was enlarged. Additionally we initiated
legislation to improve fire protection in our schools and to remove the safety
hazard of non-release window bars. All the improvements were done within budget
and without using voter approved benefit assessment tax money.

My devotion to this area goes back to 1949 when my wife and I first started our
family. If you reelect me to the board I know I can continue to contribute to
the quality of life and safety that we all enjoy in the Menlo Park Fire
District.
