Why do you want to serve on a City advisory body? I have retired from my work and am making San Luis Obispo as my PERMANENT home. This City is probably the best in the United States to live in and I would like to see it remain that way. I feel that with all my past experiences that I can offer this to the City so that decisions made by our City Council continue to be in the best interest of the Citizens and therefore continue to maintain this City as the best place in the US to live. I also believe that it is everybody's duty to provide what ever help they can to help our elected officials run the City. 2. Why do you want to be a member of the MTC and what do you hope to accomplish? I feel that with my experience and training.that I can be a valuable asset to the City by serving on the MTC. I do not have any"personal agenda"that would influence me in any decisions made and would therefore be able to better balance the needs of the Citizens with the needs of the Community as a whole. 3. Have you ever attended a meeting of the MTC or another City advisory body? What observations did you make? I am presently a member of the MTC as an alternate at large and have attended every meeting since becoming a member March 14, 2001. r' Attachment 1 Page 3 of 3 Supplemental questionnaire-mtc page 2 4. What qualities, experience and expertise make you a good candidate for the MTC? I am able to listen to all the facts and opinions and make a decision weighing them with the requirements of the City and the City Council.

In your view,what are some key transportation issues in SLO? - Getting as many people as we canto ride the transit buses instead of using their cars. The more people that use the buses the more the traffic congestion is relieved in town and the less pollution is put into our air. 5.

Having served an a City Advisory Body for nearly year,I find that City volunteers are well appreciated Also,there is great satisfaction in knowing that I am doing my part to help our City. 2. Why do you want to be a member of the MTC and what do you hope to accomplish? I want to be a member of MTC because transportation is an area of personal interest and because I brink it is a place where my contributions can make a difference. I hope to continue a good system,making it more effective for the needs of the local community. There are some possible additions I might like to explore,and I hope to continue to improve communication and connections with other systems in the County. 3. Have you ever attended a meeting of the MTC or another City advisory body? What observations did you make? Yes,I have been a member of this committee. I observed that it is important to develop good working relationships,and that things often move along quite slowly in a formal stnuture such as a City system 4. What qualities,experience and expertise make you a good candidate for the MTC? I am able to get along with people and I am accustomed to the federal funding process. 5. In your view,what are some key transportation issues in SLO? I think the key transportation issue is the choice of how this community will grow. The State has given its our local districts fairly high planning numbers for housing units. If those units are built out as single family dvm1 ings with little regard for the impact on roads and air quality,we will get gridlock. If we plan for more dense development along roads designated as transportation corridors,we have a chance at having a bus system that operates often enough and along convenient routes that work: This is,of course,bigger than the scope of the mass transportation committee. 1 have learned that our scope is primarily to advise on the operation of the City has service in accordance with the federal mass transportation guidelines. I believe that,as presented,our system has a high rate of ridership and that it would be difficult to encourage a substantially higher percentage of riders given the loop system,the limited hours of service with nothing more than a fairly expensive taxi system as back up,and,for the Route 3 area,spacing of buses more than one hour apart,and Countywide service limited to a few trips a day with limited coordination due to political boundaries. I believe that parking is a transportation issue;as well- The parking garages have contributed to the vitality of San Luis Obispo's downtown area (I remember the before and the after). I think that when one compares San Luis Obispo with tourist cities such as Carmel and Monterey or with the university campuses,it is apparent that having good parking makes a city seem friendly. My opinion is that we should build enough for a larger city. Then when the people come to make a bus system and other options more feasible,we could work harder to raise rates and encourage carpooling and bas service. 6. is there any additional information about yourself you'd like to share? 1 enjoy living in San Luis Obispo and woald like to work so that it will continue to be an excellent city in which to live.
