Cam Noltemeyer Treasurer	Carmillis "Cam" Noltemeyer is a long time resident of Southern California and a resident of Santa Clarita since the City was incorporated. She retired last year from a career in pensions and accounting. She joined SCOPE and the Sierra Club after moving to Santa Clarita. It became apparent that there was a great need for these organizations in our community. Prior to moving to Santa Clarita she served on the San Fernando Parks and Recreation Commission and City Council. She was the strong voice of taxpayers that fought to protect City property from being given away to special interests and to preserve the integrity of the single-family residential neighborhood. While on the Parks and Recreation Commission she made sure that funds from the prior sale of sections of Recreation Park were used to develop Pioneer Park as mandated by a referendum of the people. While on the City Council she used the initiative and referendum process to sponsor a law, approved by the voters, giving the people complete control of a valuable piece of property in the civic center. She also used that process to preserve a valuable piece of City owned water well property from being sold to developers for apartments. That property is currently being developed as Heritage Park. She was never afraid to challenge "the establishment" during her tenure in public office. In 1998, during Women's History Month she was honored by the City of San Fernando for her outstanding service and contributions to the City and for standing steadfast for principles that have made our country great. In Santa Clarita she has been active in the Committee for Safe Schools. She is greatly concerned about the school sites being approved in the City of Santa Clarita and in the county. Current laws are not providing the protection needed from environmental pollution.
