1. Why do you want to serve on a City advisory body?

observations did you make?

Advisory Body Application—Supplemental Questionnaire (Attachment) JUC
1. Provide service to our community; Become involved in local government;
Contribute professionally to the field of recreational administration.
2. Upon reading the announcement in the Tribune, I immediately felt that serving on
the JUC would be an ideal opportunity to participate in local government, obtain
valuable practical experience in recreational policy and administration, and to do
something directly beneficial for my family, friends, and neighbors.
On the personal level, I live within walking distance of Sinsheimer Park, regularly
use the facility, and currently have school age children in the San Luis Coastal
Unified School District.
I hope to participate in the process of policy development and evaluation in a fair
and objective manner. I do not have any preconceived intentions or agendas. I
would approach this opportunity with an open mind and rely on my professional
experience and common sense to render balanced recommendations.
3. No. Unfortunately, there was no meeting schedule between the time I read the
announcement and the due date for application.
I have, however, observed city council meetings and board of supervisor
meetings. I have also lead board meetings for the San Luis Obispo County
Sheriff's Search and Rescue Unitas its Chairman. Additionally, I have had the
opportunity to represent the SAR Unit before the San Luis Obispo County Board
of Supervisors with our current Sheriff.
As for my observations and impressions: objectivity, civility, and patience are
essential to productivity. Attack problems; not people.
4. Please refer to my attached resume. In summary, I feel that my professional
experience(manager in state government and part-time educator in the field of
recreation administration); formal education (public administration), history of
community service, and personal attributes (integrity, analytical, objective) lend
themselves well to this committee assignment.
5. I would need to research the current recreational issues in greater detail to give
you a more informed answer. However, as a city resident and avid user of our
recreational facilities, several key issues come to mind, including: balancing
existing capacity for a variety of users (e.g., fields for youth sports teams); open
space acquisition and management, ongoing risk management (e.g., playground
equipment), and, as is common in most government services, prioritizing projects
within limited funding.
Upon reviewing the City of San Luis Obispo's Parks&Recreation website, I
noted that there were several projects and programs underway, including:
Improvements.at Laguna Lake Park; Lighting and improving two softball fields;
Design and construction of a park at the Rodriquez Adobe; playground
renovations at Throop, Anholm, Laguna Lake, and French Park; and a proposed
therapy pool adjacent to the SLO Swim Center at Sinsheimer Park. 2
