Ar AMR aavisoRy Body appticatlon — supptementat questlonnaine paizks & Recueatlon commission 1. Why do you want to serve on a City advisory body? I have lived in San Luis Obispo for over 15 years and have dedicated myself to organizations and causes that benefit the community. I feel I have had and will continue to have wonderful experiences with local nonprofits, City Departments, schools and private business leaders. My interest to become more involved with decisions that affect San Luis Obispo City is a natural progression from my past experiences to my future interest and caring for the community in which I live. 2. Why do you want to be a member of the Parks & Recreation Commission and what do you hope to accomplish? I believe in always being an active,positive participant in my community. I care about the issues involving the City of San Luis Obispo Parks and Recreation Department because people of all ages, socio-economic status, physical abilities and skit levels may participate in numerous community events and programs that are offered through the Parks and Recreation Department. I have benefited and seen others benefit from the numerous opportunities the Parks and Recreation Department consistently offers. I feel I may be able to offer a helpful and positive perspective in shaping the decisions that are made for the community of San Luis Obispo. I Have you ever attended a meeting of the Parks & Recreation Commission or another-City advisory body? What observations did you make? I have attended the City of San Luis Obispo Parks& Recreation Commission and City Council meetings on a regular basis. I have a good understanding about the issues and current projects affecting our community. I currently participate in the Jack House Committee meetings as the minute taker and general enthusiast of the beautiful and historic house and gardens. I have seen how many positive things may be accomplished with enthusiastic& committed volunteers. - �I 1 CHMEW supplemental questionnaiRe — paRks & REcaeation commission paGE 2 4. What qualities, experience and expertise make you a good candidate for the Parks & Recreation Commission? I have been an active participant in over 40 community service projects in San Luis Obispo County for the past 15 years. I have also worked closely with Parks and Recreation Department on outdoor projects and programs for volunteer participation within the past 5 years. While starting my college career at Cal Poly back in 1988, my first job in San Luis Obispo was as a camp counselor with the Parks and Recreation Department. Fourteen years later I accepted the position of Interim Public Information Officer with the San Luis Obispo Parks and Recreation Department. During this time I become very interested and involved with several of the current program developments currently being considered and completed. 5. In your view, what are some key issues in SLO relating to parks and recreation? Some of the key issues I see relating to the Parks and Recreation Department is the improvement plans for all the city parks, especially the Chinese Garden, Damon-Garcia Sports Field, public art, the Ludwick Center and the importance of open communication between community members and leaders. I feel that communication with community members about what is taking place locally is one of the most important issues any department faces. Some decisions are made that do not necessarily mae please everyone, but if there is a mutualrespect and open communication, changes and compromises are easier to accomplish. 6. Is there any additional information about yourself you'd like to share? (Please feel free to attach a resume, if you have one).
