Why do you want to serve on a City advisory.body? I believe it important to include citizen participation in the city processes. 2. Why do you want to be a member of the ARC and what do you hope to accomplish? I'd like to participate in the development review process in the City. I think I can offer a unique perspective to the process because of my background in engineering, architecture and historic preservation. I hope to contribute a sense of partnership and mutual respect between the City and the design community. -- x 3. Have you ever attended a meeting of the ARC or another City advisory.body? What observations did you make? Yes. I have attended meetings of the ARC, CHC, Planning Commission and City Council, both as a staff member and a design professional (I worked for the City Public Works Department from 1970 through 19.77). The democratic process can appear cumbersome in general, but I have observed that the process runs more smoothly when both parties-are-considerate, forthright and professional. ATTACHMENT 2 supplemental questionnaiRe-auc Pam 2 4. What qualities,experience-and exiertise make you a good candidate for the ARC? I have a Bachelor's degree in Architecture,a Masters Degree in Structural Engineering and have worked professionally in the City since 1978 and have owned my own business since 1981. 1 have worked with many of the other design professionals in the City and'have worked on the design review process as a staff member, design professional and a commercial property owner. ,- 5. In your view,what are some key architectural issues in SLO? Scale is an issue that I think is important in the sense that the City of San Luis Obispo is at the point where it's growing from a town to a city and its important in that process to do whatever we can to maintain those things that give San Luis Obispo a special character. 6. Is there any additional information about yourself you'd like to share? (Please feel free to attach a resume,if you have one). As a professional, I have worked on the Jack House, the Dallidet Adobe, the Murray Adobe, City Hall, and several other commercial buildings downtown. As a volunteer, I have been active in the Friends of Las Casas de Adobe, the Point San Luis Lighthouse Keepers, the Chamber of Commerce Seismic Task Force, the San Luis Obispo Community Foundation and the Building Code Board of Appeals.

Some bitter sweet, some disappointing, most good. Throughout these encounters I have come to rely on Commission members with architectural training to best understand the various proposals before them. Be it aesthetics, building codes or construction costs, the design professionals are best trained to render expert opinion and judgement. For these reasons I feel it most important that several seats on the Commission be held by these skilled individuals. I hope you, the City Council, will consider my thoughts when making appointments to the Architectural Review Commission.
