Interested Committees/ Commissions:
Bikeability and Walkability Committee
Cultural Arts Committee
Fairview Park Steering Committee
Finance and Pension Advisory Committee
Historical Preservation Committee
Parks, Arts and Community Services Committee
Planning Commission
As a Committee/Commission member, what ideas or projects are of interest to you?
I have several interests related to all of the commissions and committees I have applied to here. My principal
interest lies in the City Planning Commission and its efforts to manage affordable housing needs and goals.
From there, FPAC is appealing insofar as the group is charged with problem-solving novel issues related to
budgetary topics which are near and dear to me. On that note, I believe the pressure that SARS CoV-2 has had
in Costa Mesa will require additional eyes to make sure our City's public servants continue to be funded as
promised, and to look long-term for economically responsible and sustainable growth. Also, the Parks, Arts
and Community Services Commission deals directly with potentially complicated issues with community
services. I will thrive in taking part in working with the group of commissioners to keep things moving in a
positive direction, especially as it relates to programs for children and seniors.
Next, the Bikeway and Walkability Committee (BWC), the Fairview Park Steering Committee (FPSC), Cultural
Arts Committee (CAC), and the Historical Preservation Committee (HPC) are all interesting components of
what helps Costa Mesa continue to be a leading City within the region when it comes to community-related
services. The BWC and FPSC would be a good fit for me since I am an avid walker and jogger through several of
2
our local parks, including Fairview Park. I see firsthand some of the issues with transportation-related themes
around the City, and I believe my background in surveying and planning will do these committees justice. With
the HPC and CAC, I believe I can make a difference as well. My family moved to Costa Mesa in 1958 when my
Grandfather, Raymond Perry, was hired to build the Water District. My family and I grew up here in the City,
and I believe very strongly that we should do our part to preserve the history and art that comes from where
we live.
Indicate why you wish to serve on this Committee/Commission. Provide any experience or qualifications
you may possess that you think would be beneficial to this Committee/Commission.
To the Honorable Mayor Katrina Foley, Mayor Pro Tem Andrea Marr, esteemed City Council Members Chavez,
Reynolds, Gameros, Harlan, and Harper, and the City Manager and Staff:
I am honored to enclose my application for your consideration regarding several Costa Mesa committees and
commissions up for appointment. Civic engagement is not only a great responsibility that requires relevant
experience and a history of involvement and future promise of dedication, but an ongoing sense of civic duty
and pride to make recommendations and decisions on behalf of our current and future residents, and at the
pleasure of City Council. What follows here will show my professional background, how it relates to these
appointments, my level of involvement and dedication, and where my strengths might be best positioned to
carry out the City’s vision for a healthy, prosperous, and sustainable future.
As you will note from the attached CV, I have the distinction of having served in several capacities associated
with the appointments for which I am applying to you now. I have a professional background in geographic
sciences (cartographic, spatial, urban and public works planning, statistical analysis, cost analysis), public
health and environmental health sciences (climate change and environmental writing and planning, State
boards/commissions, public engagement), and a long list of having served in related capacities and jobs within
my career. Please note, I have served as chair, co-chair, or lead in many of these roles over the years.
Most recently, I have the honor and distinction of having been appointed as the Programs Director for one of
Costa Mesa's longest-standing and impactful nonprofits. In this role I am focused on solving local food
insecurity and homeless-related issues while maintaining fiscally responsible decisions. I carry out my work
while also keeping an eye on the future of how we fit into City and County needs, including our SARS CoV-2
safety protocols and how we serve an at-risk population within the confines of our community. Also, I have
been recently appointed to the Costa Mesa Sanitary District’s Citizens Advisory Committee and continue to
serve as State Mentor for South Carolina’s Green Steps Schools program for Air Emissions and Carbon
Sequestration. I perform these duties while working in other service-related capacities while finishing my
research dissertation in the next few months in the School of Public Health at the University of South Carolina.
What you will glean from my CV is a dynamic work history, and through these experiences the ability to
connect and simplify disparate pieces of information. Much of that has to do with having built my career
around being of service through problem-solving, working collaboratively and collegially in diverse groups, and
looking at issues from all angles before moving forward with a plan. I believe these skills (among others) will
be of great use to the Costa Mesa Planning Commission in addition to other boards and commissions. Please
let me know if you have any questions and how I might best serve your needs as a representative of District 1.

Indicate the name of the Committee/Commission you are interested in serving on:
Fairview Park Steering Committee
Indicate why you wish to serve on this Committee/Commission.
I want Fairview Park’s natural setting preserved and restored to benefit the quality of life in Costa Mesa. I have served on the
Fairview Park Steering Committee since 2017 and wish to continue the committee's direction set out over the past few years. The
Committee is poised to initiate recommendations for an updated master plan aimed at preserving passive use and habitat assets.
My 30-year long expertise in water resources and geology can benefit the City, community, and Steering Committee as my
background relates to engineering evaluation and land use preservation. My technical background would provide value to the City
Council through guidance and recommendations to resolve issues with park drainage, wetlands, vector, and land uses. In the past 15
years of my career, I have operated and maintained 20 large properties with multiple pond systems used for groundwater recharge
and flood control. All of these properties face engineering, environmental, and land use issues similar to those of the park. I am an
outdoor person who enjoys the park and would seek to maintain its passive uses such as hiking, dog walking, enjoying nature, and
model railroading.
Provide any experience or qualifications you may possess that you think would be beneficial to this
Committee/Commission. A resume (optional) may be attached. (Note: All information contained on the
resume is public information, will be distributed to the public and posted on the City’s website).
Optional Resume
As a Committee/Commission member, what ideas or projects are of interest to you?
My interest in projects includes engineering projects such as management of water drainage that minimizes erosion, pollution, and
vectors; managing bluff stability for the safety of passive users and preservation of habitat; correcting the wetlands to serve their
intent of water quality enhancement and habitat preservation without creating large maintenance costs.

Thank you,

As a Costa Mesa resident and business owner, I am called to help the City of Costa Mesa
implement the Fairview Park Master plan and establish Fairview Park as the crown jewel of the
City - a source of pride, a center of outdoor conservation and community-building, and a site for
cultural and heritage events that celebrate diversity, imagination and inclusiveness. I also see
this Committee, and the implementation of the Master Plan, as a means to safeguard the health
of our community, as park activities can drive educational discussions about the need for daily
activity and positive health outcomes, especially for our youth and seniors.
I am a seasoned business executive and entrepreneur who is well-versed in delivering to plan;
assessing Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats to success; and navigating to goals.
I also serve on the board of the Alzheimer's Association Orange County and believe in managing
grants to maximize outcomes. I have demonstrated financial stewardship through this role, as
well as my previous board of directors roles at JDRF Orange County, International Association of
Business Communicators and YMCA Community Services. Over the past year under COVID-19
restrictions, the importance of green spaces and greenfields for innovation have escalated the
importance of Fairview Park and this Committee.
FAIRVIEW PARK STEERING COMMITTEE
Indicate why you wish to serve on this Committee/Commission.
As a Committee/Commission member, what ideas or projects are of interest to you?
1. To ensure that the Master Plan directive of incorporating the natural and cultural elements of
other feeder parks and ecosystems are considered and preserved
2. To enlist and engage civic and business leaders in the support and promotion of Fairview Park
and its enculturation as a City hub for residents, families, visitors and the surrounding community
3. To steward the deployment of funds and development of social services that will foster
community engagement, civic pride, diversity and inclusion, and positive returns for the City

Indicate why you wish to serve on this Committee/Commission.
Hello, Planning commission and the Housing & Public Service Grants Committee are my top two preferences. I reside in district 2. I
am willing to take any length of term as the city sees fit. I seek to increase my involvement in city matters that affect those that
reside, work, etc. in Costa Mesa to further improve our great city. I have recently participated in two recent city council meetings
and found that many of the agenda items I had a unique, experienced perspective to offer the council. My input was appreciated
and useful to further the discussion so the council could resolve the issue in a timely fashion. I hope to do the same for one or more
of these committees, commissions I have requested. I am an Air Force overseas war veteran, have a degree in legal studies from UC
Berkeley with associate degrees from IVC in Spanish, Computer Information Science, and Physical Education. I have been elected
leader of many organizations including honor societies in college focusing on service to the community and an Orange County non
profit focusing on restoring developed and undeveloped lands, areas back to OC native plants and away from wasteful, harmful
invasive plant species. I have also personally served our community in many capacities including regularly donating platelets
hundreds of times this century, leading group cleanups/restorations of parks/wild lands, as well as delivering donated food to low
income Costa Mesa seniors with the Costa Mesa Senior Center for most of this C19 pandemic. I am educated, experienced,
motivated and prepared to be a valuable contribution to any committee/commission. I will be a stickler for the rules, procedures
when I serve and strive to improve those methods for better efficiency and performance. I thank you for the opportunity to serve.

As a Committee/Commission member, what ideas or projects are of interest to you?
My focus will be primarily on improving all things Costa Mesa for a more sustainable, healthy, efficient, and representative future for
all. Specifically upgrading our city building, restoration, procurement codes/policies for greater cost effectiveness for all stakeholders
in the long term with respect to energy efficiency, water efficiency, indoor air quality, safety, local material/product usage, etc. A
long term focus should be applied for such long term projects, purchases for the benefit of all involved. I find the focus is often too
much on short term or purchase price rather than long term/life cycle costs, benefits. With that said, all issues/items brought to my
attention while serving on a committee/commission will receive my full attention to explore, learn about, discuss and decide in a
timely fashion. I will be diligent with my assigned duties.

I strongly believe that residents of Costa Mesa deserve access to open space. The passive use nature of this park provides a unique opportunity for children and their parents
to exercise and explore nature together. Nature Deficit Disorder is a fascinating, and frightening, area of research centered on the idea that we are losing our association to
the natural world. I want all residents of Costa Mesa to access, and therefore appreciate and preserve, the natural world around them.

I was able to walk from my elementary school to the Environmental Nature Center (ENC) in Newport Beach. We took field trips there. We walked to the ENC from Mariners
Elementary. I would like the students of Victoria and Wilson Elementary (and maybe Adams El) to enjoy a similar experience at Fairview Park. It would be great to create
educational programs for local students centered on the natural and human history of the space.

Fairview Park Steering Committee
Indicate why you wish to serve on this Committee/Commission.
Costa Mesa is mostly a built-out city with little undeveloped land available for various new projects. The need for open space is
expanding while the actual open space is declining. As open space, Fairview Park is a 200+ acre park that provides passive
recreational activities in natural environs along with habitat for a variety of plants and animals, many of which are rare and
endangered. The park is large enough to cause the urban effects around it to be effectively muted. Fairview Park is a resource that
must be managed with community needs, both for now and into the future, insightful ecological choices, and effective resource
shepherding to ensure availability of those resources far into the future. I believe I would bring a number of skills and ideas to any
committee that is considering the present and future of any park in Costa Mesa, including Fairview Park. Business experience: 37
years in Pharmaceuticals--Sales, Training, Sales Management, Staff Management, Contracting, Distribution. Analysis, Advice, and
Implementation of Co. Programs/Projects Community Service: Costa Mesa City Council, 1990-1994 -- Full General Plan Update Costa
Mesa Senior Center Board -- Board Member 1992-1995 Costa Mesa Handicapped Access Appeals Board -- Board Member 1994-1998
El Toro Reuse Task Force -- Member 1992-1996 Community Activist 1988-2018--instrumental in passage of 2 citizen driven initiatives
I am a long term resident of Costa Mesa (40+years) and have watched various changes happening to our city (some good and others
not so good). As a resident, I want to maintain the quality of life we enjoy. Any part I may play in that would be an honor. I fully

Indicate why you wish to serve on this Committee/Commission.
The needs of our city are many and varied. My husband, Quentin Pullen, ran for mayor in this past election. I served as his campaign
manager. We decided to get involved in politics because we want to help improve our community. We may not have won, but we
are here to serve. I would like the opportunity to help make a difference. My entire life, I have been a lover of nature and the arts. I
was born in Romania and grew up under an authoritarian Communist regime. Nature and the arts were where we could escape.
Every day after school we went to the local park. We explored and took advantage of the courts to learn to play tennis. We ran
through fields, hiked, played in rivers and lakes, learned about the local fauna and flora. My parents may not have had much, but
they deeply valued education and firmly believed in exposing us to the arts. They took us to museums, the symphony, ballet, and the
opera. We visited historical sights on every vacation. I carry these experiences as an essential part of who I am today. I want to help
nourish these types of projects in my city, Costa Mesa, which has been my home now for 13 years. My professional background has
ensured I have acquired the necessary skills to be a meaningful contributor. I am currently a Business Systems Project Manager &
Integrator. Previously, I was the Vice President & COO of a local window film and security glazing products company. I believe in
collaboration, cooperation, and good communication, and have the drive to carry projects to successful completion.

I would be honored to work on any project that helps increase access to natural spaces, exposure and immersion in the arts, projects
that foster a stronger sense of community, and allow us to get to better know each other as neighbors.

I have lived in Costa Mesa my entire life and have been looking for ways to get involved in my community. I have a passion for nature and animals, so either or both of these
committees would be a great fit for me. I have been a teacher for 21 years, so the education aspect of these two committees holds particular interest for me. I am a
passionate advocate for both animals and the environment and would love to bring that energy to these committees. I am also a proficient writer and editor and would be
happy to offer those services as well. I have experience as a leader in my field and have also served on volunteer boards and educational advising committees. I am a strong
organizer, a great communicator, and have a talent for keeping people motivated and on-task. I am equally comfortable at the keyboard and getting dirty in the garden.

Walid Wasfy’s Application for Costa Mesa Commissions/Committees
1st Priority - Planning Commission
2nd Priority - Parks, Arts and Community Services Commission
3rd Priority - Bikeway & Walkability Committee
4th Priority - Fairview Park Steering Committee
Indicate why you wish to serve on this Committee/Commission
1st Choice - Planning Commission: I am a registered Professional Electrical Engineer with the State of
California. I'm working with Southern California Edison and San Diego Gas and Electric on hardening the
electrical infrastructure in Southern California to ensure better safety and reliability due to fire dangers.
I am very familiar with easement and right of way regulations for utility work. I review environmental
impacts on installing new power poles and underground electrical equipment on a daily basis. Hopefully,
Community Choice Energy (CCE) efforts get traction in the City. If Planning Commission input is ever
needed on CCE matters, my knowledge and expertise make me an ideal candidate for that issue.
2nd Choice - Parks, Arts and Community Services Commission: I am a very active and outgoing member
of my community. I wish to be more involved in creating and planning events that bring our community
together. Especially nowadays in the pandemic when we're mostly at home and not out mingling as we
would normally. The "Battle of the Ages - Intergenerational Trivia Contest" that was organized by the
Parks and Community Services was a great idea. Other events like it need to be put together to maintain
a sense of camaraderie and community during these times. Maybe do other pop-ups like the
"Badminton/Volleyball Pop-Up" events that take place. We can try other sports.
3rd Choice - Bikeway & Walkability Committee: I live off Rochester Street and Newport Boulevard. I am
very close to the 17th Street and Newport Boulevard intersection. This intersection is a nightmare to get
through. This is true whether you're walking, biking, or even driving for that matter. It's a very big and
very busy intersection with many businesses directly connected to it. I'm not saying anything new here.
Anyone who has been through this intersection knows what I'm talking about. We need to make safer
and easier on folks to get through to this intersection. I know plenty of people who live walking distance
away from Trader Joe's or Growers Direct who insist on driving there because they're scared of crossing
Newport Boulevard around that intersection. They want to be able to ride their bikes or walk to do their
grocery shopping, but they're too scared to do so. This shouldn't ever be the case. This is just one
example. There are numerous other examples in the city that involve smaller intersections and other
bigger intersections like the one I mentioned that need to be examined through a different perspective.
Maybe we need to implement other projects like the amazing "Reimagine 19th" project that the Costa
Mesa Alliance for Better Streets put together.
4th Choice - Fairview Park Steering Committee: This article in the LA Times is such a shame:
https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2020-11-15/costa-mesa-fairview-park-wetlands
"Costa Mesa’s Fairview Park Wetlands, once seen as a boon, is bogged down by deficiencies"
I am a registered Professional Electrical Engineer with the State of California. I have extensive
experience with installing and maintaining pump stations for a variety of applications, from nuclear
reactor cooling systems to wastewater treatment facilities, to small farming and irrigation systems. I can
provide valuable input for installing the float valve and pump system that was supposed to be installed
to recirculate water in the Wetlands system. After installation, I can also provide input on industry best
practice for maintenance on the project. I have worked on many industrial maintenance plans for
various pump systems.
As a Committee/Commission member, what ideas or projects are of interest to you?
- As a result of the civil unrest that was happening around the country that started in May 2020 due to
the killing of George Floyd, the Planning Commission introduced some very good ideas and discussions
about equity in the City. I would like to see this issue investigated and discussed further to ensure that
all of Costa Mesa's residents are afforded the same opportunities and are treated fairly.
- Focus more city resources on implementing active transportation across City streets. Everyone always
talks about adding more bike lanes to the street, and I agree with that 100%. Another simple measure
than I'm interested in is adding more street lights. There are a lot of dark streets and areas in Costa
Mesa where biking at night is dangerous due to how dark it is. Even if there are bike lanes in he street
and if the bikers are wearing high visibility gear, it can be hard for drivers to see bikers.
- Implement further future projects similar to the "Reimagine 19th" project.
- Investigate the feasibility of installing disc golf cages in Fairview Park to establish a public disc golf
course in Costa Mesa.

Subject:Adam Ereth - Committee/Commission application
Attachments:Adam_Ereth_CV_2021.docx
City Clerk's Office -
Attached/written in line here is my application for several commission and committee appointments to the City
of Costa Mesa (See responses below). I have also attached my CV with this email. Please let me know if you
need anything else.
Kind regards,
Adam Ereth
Interested Committees/ Commissions:
Bikeability and Walkability Committee
Cultural Arts Committee
Fairview Park Steering Committee
Finance and Pension Advisory Committee
Historical Preservation Committee
Parks, Arts and Community Services Committee
Planning Commission
As a Committee/Commission member, what ideas or projects are of interest to you?
I have several interests related to all of the commissions and committees I have applied to here. My principal
interest lies in the City Planning Commission and its efforts to manage affordable housing needs and goals.
From there, FPAC is appealing insofar as the group is charged with problem-solving novel issues related to
budgetary topics which are near and dear to me. On that note, I believe the pressure that SARS CoV-2 has had
in Costa Mesa will require additional eyes to make sure our City's public servants continue to be funded as
promised, and to look long-term for economically responsible and sustainable growth. Also, the Parks, Arts
and Community Services Commission deals directly with potentially complicated issues with community
services. I will thrive in taking part in working with the group of commissioners to keep things moving in a
positive direction, especially as it relates to programs for children and seniors.
Next, the Bikeway and Walkability Committee (BWC), the Fairview Park Steering Committee (FPSC), Cultural
Arts Committee (CAC), and the Historical Preservation Committee (HPC) are all interesting components of
what helps Costa Mesa continue to be a leading City within the region when it comes to community-related
services. The BWC and FPSC would be a good fit for me since I am an avid walker and jogger through several of
2
our local parks, including Fairview Park. I see firsthand some of the issues with transportation-related themes
around the City, and I believe my background in surveying and planning will do these committees justice. With
the HPC and CAC, I believe I can make a difference as well. My family moved to Costa Mesa in 1958 when my
Grandfather, Raymond Perry, was hired to build the Water District. My family and I grew up here in the City,
and I believe very strongly that we should do our part to preserve the history and art that comes from where
we live.
Indicate why you wish to serve on this Committee/Commission. Provide any experience or qualifications
you may possess that you think would be beneficial to this Committee/Commission.
To the Honorable Mayor Katrina Foley, Mayor Pro Tem Andrea Marr, esteemed City Council Members Chavez,
Reynolds, Gameros, Harlan, and Harper, and the City Manager and Staff:
I am honored to enclose my application for your consideration regarding several Costa Mesa committees and
commissions up for appointment. Civic engagement is not only a great responsibility that requires relevant
experience and a history of involvement and future promise of dedication, but an ongoing sense of civic duty
and pride to make recommendations and decisions on behalf of our current and future residents, and at the
pleasure of City Council. What follows here will show my professional background, how it relates to these
appointments, my level of involvement and dedication, and where my strengths might be best positioned to
carry out the City’s vision for a healthy, prosperous, and sustainable future.
As you will note from the attached CV, I have the distinction of having served in several capacities associated
with the appointments for which I am applying to you now. I have a professional background in geographic
sciences (cartographic, spatial, urban and public works planning, statistical analysis, cost analysis), public
health and environmental health sciences (climate change and environmental writing and planning, State
boards/commissions, public engagement), and a long list of having served in related capacities and jobs within
my career. Please note, I have served as chair, co-chair, or lead in many of these roles over the years.
Most recently, I have the honor and distinction of having been appointed as the Programs Director for one of
Costa Mesa's longest-standing and impactful nonprofits. In this role I am focused on solving local food
insecurity and homeless-related issues while maintaining fiscally responsible decisions. I carry out my work
while also keeping an eye on the future of how we fit into City and County needs, including our SARS CoV-2
safety protocols and how we serve an at-risk population within the confines of our community. Also, I have
been recently appointed to the Costa Mesa Sanitary District’s Citizens Advisory Committee and continue to
serve as State Mentor for South Carolina’s Green Steps Schools program for Air Emissions and Carbon
Sequestration. I perform these duties while working in other service-related capacities while finishing my
research dissertation in the next few months in the School of Public Health at the University of South Carolina.
What you will glean from my CV is a dynamic work history, and through these experiences the ability to
connect and simplify disparate pieces of information. Much of that has to do with having built my career
around being of service through problem-solving, working collaboratively and collegially in diverse groups, and
looking at issues from all angles before moving forward with a plan. I believe these skills (among others) will
be of great use to the Costa Mesa Planning Commission in addition to other boards and commissions. Please
let me know if you have any questions and how I might best serve your needs as a representative of District 1.

Indicate why you wish to serve on this Committee/Commission.
I want Fairview Park’s natural setting preserved and restored to benefit the quality of life in Costa Mesa. I have served on the
Fairview Park Steering Committee since 2017 and wish to continue the committee's direction set out over the past few years. The
Committee is poised to initiate recommendations for an updated master plan aimed at preserving passive use and habitat assets.
My 30-year long expertise in water resources and geology can benefit the City, community, and Steering Committee as my
background relates to engineering evaluation and land use preservation. My technical background would provide value to the City
Council through guidance and recommendations to resolve issues with park drainage, wetlands, vector, and land uses. In the past 15
years of my career, I have operated and maintained 20 large properties with multiple pond systems used for groundwater recharge
and flood control. All of these properties face engineering, environmental, and land use issues similar to those of the park. I am an
outdoor person who enjoys the park and would seek to maintain its passive uses such as hiking, dog walking, enjoying nature, and
model railroading.
Provide any experience or qualifications you may possess that you think would be beneficial to this
Committee/Commission. A resume (optional) may be attached. (Note: All information contained on the

As a Committee/Commission member, what ideas or projects are of interest to you?
My interest in projects includes engineering projects such as management of water drainage that minimizes erosion, pollution, and

intent of water quality enhancement and habitat preservation without creating large maintenance costs.

As a Costa Mesa resident and business owner, I am called to help the City of Costa Mesa
implement the Fairview Park Master plan and establish Fairview Park as the crown jewel of the
City - a source of pride, a center of outdoor conservation and community-building, and a site for
cultural and heritage events that celebrate diversity, imagination and inclusiveness. I also see
this Committee, and the implementation of the Master Plan, as a means to safeguard the health
of our community, as park activities can drive educational discussions about the need for daily
activity and positive health outcomes, especially for our youth and seniors.
I am a seasoned business executive and entrepreneur who is well-versed in delivering to plan;
assessing Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats to success; and navigating to goals.
I also serve on the board of the Alzheimer's Association Orange County and believe in managing
grants to maximize outcomes. I have demonstrated financial stewardship through this role, as
well as my previous board of directors roles at JDRF Orange County, International Association of
Business Communicators and YMCA Community Services. Over the past year under COVID-19
restrictions, the importance of green spaces and greenfields for innovation have escalated the
importance of Fairview Park and this Committee.

Fairview Park is a unique resource in Costa Mesa that has a great impact on its residents and surrounding communities. Personally our family frequents Fairview park and
have since the first 9 years we lived here as renters in Eastside Costa Mesa and this last year when were able to purchase a home on the college park neighborhood of Costa
Mesa. I can't think of a park I would like to learn more about and a community I would rather serve more than the community and City of Costa Mesa.

Indicate why you wish to serve on this Committee/Commission.
Hello, Planning commission and the Housing & Public Service Grants Committee are my top two preferences. I reside in district 2. I
am willing to take any length of term as the city sees fit. I seek to increase my involvement in city matters that affect those that
reside, work, etc. in Costa Mesa to further improve our great city. I have recently participated in two recent city council meetings
and found that many of the agenda items I had a unique, experienced perspective to offer the council. My input was appreciated
and useful to further the discussion so the council could resolve the issue in a timely fashion. I hope to do the same for one or more
of these committees, commissions I have requested. I am an Air Force overseas war veteran, have a degree in legal studies from UC
Berkeley with associate degrees from IVC in Spanish, Computer Information Science, and Physical Education. I have been elected
leader of many organizations including honor societies in college focusing on service to the community and an Orange County non
profit focusing on restoring developed and undeveloped lands, areas back to OC native plants and away from wasteful, harmful
invasive plant species. I have also personally served our community in many capacities including regularly donating platelets
hundreds of times this century, leading group cleanups/restorations of parks/wild lands, as well as delivering donated food to low
income Costa Mesa seniors with the Costa Mesa Senior Center for most of this C19 pandemic. I am educated, experienced,
motivated and prepared to be a valuable contribution to any committee/commission. I will be a stickler for the rules, procedures
when I serve and strive to improve those methods for better efficiency and performance. I thank you for the opportunity to serve.

long term focus should be applied for such long term projects, purchases for the benefit of all involved. I find the focus is often too
much on short term or purchase price rather than long term/life cycle costs, benefits. With that said, all issues/items brought to my
attention while serving on a committee/commission will receive my full attention to explore, learn about, discuss and decide in a
timely fashion. I will be diligent with my assigned duties.

I strongly believe that residents of Costa Mesa deserve access to open space. The passive use nature of this park provides a unique opportunity for children and their parents
to exercise and explore nature together. Nature Deficit Disorder is a fascinating, and frightening, area of research centered on the idea that we are losing our association to
the natural world. I want all residents of Costa Mesa to access, and therefore appreciate and preserve, the natural world around them.

I was able to walk from my elementary school to the Environmental Nature Center (ENC) in Newport Beach. We took field trips there. We walked to the ENC from Mariners
Elementary. I would like the students of Victoria and Wilson Elementary (and maybe Adams El) to enjoy a similar experience at Fairview Park. It would be great to create
educational programs for local students centered on the natural and human history of the space.

Costa Mesa is mostly a built-out city with little undeveloped land available for various new projects. The need for open space is
expanding while the actual open space is declining. As open space, Fairview Park is a 200+ acre park that provides passive
recreational activities in natural environs along with habitat for a variety of plants and animals, many of which are rare and
endangered. The park is large enough to cause the urban effects around it to be effectively muted. Fairview Park is a resource that
must be managed with community needs, both for now and into the future, insightful ecological choices, and effective resource
shepherding to ensure availability of those resources far into the future. I believe I would bring a number of skills and ideas to any
committee that is considering the present and future of any park in Costa Mesa, including Fairview Park. Business experience: 37
years in Pharmaceuticals--Sales, Training, Sales Management, Staff Management, Contracting, Distribution. Analysis, Advice, and

I am a long term resident of Costa Mesa (40+years) and have watched various changes happening to our city (some good and others

The needs of our city are many and varied. My husband, Quentin Pullen, ran for mayor in this past election. I served as his campaign
manager. We decided to get involved in politics because we want to help improve our community. We may not have won, but we
are here to serve. I would like the opportunity to help make a difference. My entire life, I have been a lover of nature and the arts. I
was born in Romania and grew up under an authoritarian Communist regime. Nature and the arts were where we could escape.
Every day after school we went to the local park. We explored and took advantage of the courts to learn to play tennis. We ran
through fields, hiked, played in rivers and lakes, learned about the local fauna and flora. My parents may not have had much, but
they deeply valued education and firmly believed in exposing us to the arts. They took us to museums, the symphony, ballet, and the
opera. We visited historical sights on every vacation. I carry these experiences as an essential part of who I am today. I want to help
nourish these types of projects in my city, Costa Mesa, which has been my home now for 13 years. My professional background has
ensured I have acquired the necessary skills to be a meaningful contributor. I am currently a Business Systems Project Manager &
Integrator. Previously, I was the Vice President & COO of a local window film and security glazing products company. I believe in
collaboration, cooperation, and good communication, and have the drive to carry projects to successful completion.

Animal Services Committee
Fairview Park Steering Committee
I have lived in Costa Mesa my entire life and have been looking for ways to get involved in my community. I have a passion for nature and animals, so either or both of these
committees would be a great fit for me. I have been a teacher for 21 years, so the education aspect of these two committees holds particular interest for me. I am a
passionate advocate for both animals and the environment and would love to bring that energy to these committees. I am also a proficient writer and editor and would be
happy to offer those services as well. I have experience as a leader in my field and have also served on volunteer boards and educational advising committees. I am a strong
organizer, a great communicator, and have a talent for keeping people motivated and on-task. I am equally comfortable at the keyboard and getting dirty in the garden.
Provide any experience or qualifications you may possess that you think would be beneficial to this Committee/Commission. A resume (optional) may be attached. (Note: All
information contained on the resume is public information, will be distributed to the public and posted on the City’s website).

Any projects involving education and conservation would fit right into my wheelhouse. It would be my pleasure to help keep the public educated about and involved in our
city's culture and natural beauty.

Walid Wasfy’s Application for Costa Mesa Commissions/Committees
1st Priority - Planning Commission
2nd Priority - Parks, Arts and Community Services Commission
3rd Priority - Bikeway & Walkability Committee
4th Priority - Fairview Park Steering Committee
Indicate why you wish to serve on this Committee/Commission
1st Choice - Planning Commission: I am a registered Professional Electrical Engineer with the State of
California. I'm working with Southern California Edison and San Diego Gas and Electric on hardening the
electrical infrastructure in Southern California to ensure better safety and reliability due to fire dangers.
I am very familiar with easement and right of way regulations for utility work. I review environmental
impacts on installing new power poles and underground electrical equipment on a daily basis. Hopefully,
Community Choice Energy (CCE) efforts get traction in the City. If Planning Commission input is ever
needed on CCE matters, my knowledge and expertise make me an ideal candidate for that issue.
2nd Choice - Parks, Arts and Community Services Commission: I am a very active and outgoing member
of my community. I wish to be more involved in creating and planning events that bring our community
together. Especially nowadays in the pandemic when we're mostly at home and not out mingling as we
would normally. The "Battle of the Ages - Intergenerational Trivia Contest" that was organized by the
Parks and Community Services was a great idea. Other events like it need to be put together to maintain
a sense of camaraderie and community during these times. Maybe do other pop-ups like the
"Badminton/Volleyball Pop-Up" events that take place. We can try other sports.
3rd Choice - Bikeway & Walkability Committee: I live off Rochester Street and Newport Boulevard. I am
very close to the 17th Street and Newport Boulevard intersection. This intersection is a nightmare to get
through. This is true whether you're walking, biking, or even driving for that matter. It's a very big and
very busy intersection with many businesses directly connected to it. I'm not saying anything new here.
Anyone who has been through this intersection knows what I'm talking about. We need to make safer
and easier on folks to get through to this intersection. I know plenty of people who live walking distance
away from Trader Joe's or Growers Direct who insist on driving there because they're scared of crossing
Newport Boulevard around that intersection. They want to be able to ride their bikes or walk to do their
grocery shopping, but they're too scared to do so. This shouldn't ever be the case. This is just one
example. There are numerous other examples in the city that involve smaller intersections and other
bigger intersections like the one I mentioned that need to be examined through a different perspective.
Maybe we need to implement other projects like the amazing "Reimagine 19th" project that the Costa
Mesa Alliance for Better Streets put together.
4th Choice - Fairview Park Steering Committee: This article in the LA Times is such a shame:
https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2020-11-15/costa-mesa-fairview-park-wetlands
"Costa Mesa’s Fairview Park Wetlands, once seen as a boon, is bogged down by deficiencies"
I am a registered Professional Electrical Engineer with the State of California. I have extensive
experience with installing and maintaining pump stations for a variety of applications, from nuclear
reactor cooling systems to wastewater treatment facilities, to small farming and irrigation systems. I can
provide valuable input for installing the float valve and pump system that was supposed to be installed
to recirculate water in the Wetlands system. After installation, I can also provide input on industry best
practice for maintenance on the project. I have worked on many industrial maintenance plans for
various pump systems.
As a Committee/Commission member, what ideas or projects are of interest to you?
- As a result of the civil unrest that was happening around the country that started in May 2020 due to
the killing of George Floyd, the Planning Commission introduced some very good ideas and discussions
about equity in the City. I would like to see this issue investigated and discussed further to ensure that
all of Costa Mesa's residents are afforded the same opportunities and are treated fairly.
- Focus more city resources on implementing active transportation across City streets. Everyone always
talks about adding more bike lanes to the street, and I agree with that 100%. Another simple measure
than I'm interested in is adding more street lights. There are a lot of dark streets and areas in Costa
Mesa where biking at night is dangerous due to how dark it is. Even if there are bike lanes in he street
and if the bikers are wearing high visibility gear, it can be hard for drivers to see bikers.
- Implement further future projects similar to the "Reimagine 19th" project.
- Investigate the feasibility of installing disc golf cages in Fairview Park to establish a public disc golf
course in Costa Mesa.

Finance and Pension Advisory Committee Application 2020
A sound investment strategy, prudent fiscal management, and spending is essential for
Costa Mesa’s future success. My education at the University of California honed my
analytical skills and my work experience as a financial analyst at an investment bank
are useful in reviewing financial statements, assessing investment and saving
strategies, as well as, addressing efficiencies in fiscal policies and procedures.
My work as Director of Development for the Newport Beach Film Festival honed my
leadership, listening, and collaboration skills necessary for working well in a group
situation. I am hard working, data oriented and motivated to positively contribute my
knowledge, skills and time.
Before serving on it, I closely followed the work of the Finance and Pension Advisory
Committee by attending meetings, reviewing agendas and reports including the OC
LAFCO Fiscal Trend Reports, business license tax information packets, and agenda
reports considering potential new revenue sources. To better understand Costa Mesa’s
financial workings as well as financial challenges, I’ve also examined the CAFRs for the
last six years. In broader strokes, I study both national and global economic trends, one
US example being the effect of quantitative easing (and subsequent tapering) on market
performance.
During my tenure on the Finance and Pension Advisory Committee since 2016 I’ve
worked on several subcommittees including one dedicated to starting a Section 115
Trust (to help with the mounting unfounded pension liability). Additionally, I focused on
examining business license practices and remittance of sales tax from the OC
Fairgrounds to make sure that Costa Mesa is receiving its fair share of funds. To that
end a firm was hired to report tax trends and go after any unrealized revenue, as well
as, a dialogue being opened with the OC Fairgrounds regarding best practices
regarding this matter.
I hope to continue my service to Costa Mesa through this committee and thank you for
your time and consideration.

Indicate why you wish to serve on this Committee/Commission.
As a proud resident of Costa Mesa, I wish to serve on the Finance and Pension Advisory Committee to aid my community in keeping
our City financially sound. My educational and professional background has allowed me to develop both qualitative and quantitative
skills that served useful in a variety of leadership roles where I was responsible for balancing a budget and conducting audits. In
addition to my experience, I also recently received a certification from the Ross Minority Program in Real Estate at USC. Although
real estate centric, this program taught me many of the fundamental financial principles that I believe will be valuable and
transferable to this committee. Principles such as the creation of financial models, understanding of complex debt and equity
financing, and the ability to analyze the valuation of distressed assets have all prepared me for this role. Lastly, if given the
opportunity to serve, I will always be an independent voice, willing to listen fairly with an open mind, and prepared to ask questions
that will protect our City’s finances. Thank you for taking the time to review my submission and I look forward to the opportunity.
Sincerely, Boris Gresely

I would like to serve on this committee for two reasons; as a resident I feel it is important to give back to your community (time,
knowledge, etc.) and secondly, I have a background in (and passion for) investments and finance having worked at Lazard Asset
Management in New York and then Morgan Stanley in California, that I would like to contribute to my community. We are living in
unprecedented times with a pandemic that has affected budget and spending, and I would like to help provide solutions, advice or
be a sounding board as needed to the City whilst it navigates these uncertain times and tries to provide for all its’ residents. I am
familiar with managing budgets and have done so for several organizations: chamber of commerce, our local elementary school PTA,
non-profit organizations and our own personal finances. I’m in-tune and aware of balancing competing priorities within an
organization while trying to keep pace with inflation, lack of yield and market volatility. I believe I can contribute to this committee
and their objectives.

I would be interested in ideas and projects where I felt I could contribute. I do not presume to be familiar with all of the issues and

Committee faces would be of interest to me.

Finance and Pension Advisory Committee
The fiscal health of the City of Costa Mesa and the economic development of the City are very important and were among my priorities while on Council. During my term, I
served as a council liaison to the FiPAC and attended the meetings regularly. I also met with FiPAC members outside of the meetings to solicit and listen to their input on
matters, including the City's budget. I voted on four budgets while on Council so I have insight into the challenges of council and staff, which I can bring to the FiPAC. I was a
member of the Pension Oversight Committee from 2013 to 2015, which was the precursor to the FiPAC. In that capacity, I worked with members of the POC to recommend
changes in the way we address our pension debt that were eventually put in place when I was elected to council. These measures have saved the City millions of dollars over
the years and will continue to do so. Finally,I have been a business trial attorney for 32 years and have owned my own firm since 1998. 23 years of having to make a payroll
and managing a service business in the private sector also qualifies me to serve on the FiPAC.
Provide any experience or qualifications you may possess that you think would be beneficial to this Committee/Commission. A resume (optional) may be attached. (Note: All

I'm particularly interested in helping the Council navigate through the difficult times that have come from the Covid-19 pandemic. The lingering reduction in tax revenue and
damage to our business base will continue to be a challenge for at least the next few years. The City staff and Council have some tough decisions ahead when it comes to
fiscal management and economic development. I would like to be in a position to assist with these decisions and to represent the voice of the residents on the important issue
of wise fiscal management of our City's finite resources.

I have been a Costa Mesa resident for over 20 years, with over 30 years in the area. I have two daughters, one of which is 9. With my
younger daughter I have been to every park in the city multiple times with her, so I'm very familiar with the area. I work well on a
team and I am very open to listening to other people's concerns. I was raised by both a Democrat and a Republican, I am an
independent and can work to make everybody happy. I've worked in construction my whole life and know what it takes to get things
done. In college I studied geology and have worked in the Commercial HVAC Construction market for over 30 years! I'm an avid
cyclist and have participated in the monthly rides (when we had them) with Arlis Reynolds and Jim Erickson. On our last ride
together for the 2020 Turkey Roll both had mentioned that I would be a good candidate for Parks, Arts and Community Services
Commission. But mostly, I just truly feel that this is an amazing City and I want to give back to it!
Provide any experience or qualifications you may possess that you think would be beneficial to this

As a Committee/Commission member, what ideas or projects are of interest to you?
First and foremost I would work to protect the wonderful history that we have in our city. I'd work to promote physical activity and
exercise with the citizens is of the utmost importance. I have lots of ideas for pump tracks, more skateparks and possibly some
exercise stations. But I also understand the voice of the people and their needs are extremely important to me. So I would approach
the position with a VERY open mind!

Cultural Arts Committee
Finance and Pension Advisory Committee
Indicate why you wish to serve on this Committee/Commission.
The two committees I am interested in serving on are the Finance and Pension Advisory Committee and Cultural Arts Committee.
The Finance and Pension Advisory Committee is of particular interest to me because I am interested in reviewing and providing
advice for short and long range financial planning and funding for the city of Costa Mesa. Serving on the Cultural Arts Committee is
also of interest to me because I believe municipal support for local artists to showcase their talents is a fantastic way to build a sense
of community between residents.

Sheehan, Matthew Resume.pdf
As a Committee/Commission member, what ideas or projects are of interest to you?
For the Finance and Pension Advisory Committee, I am interested in reviewing and providing advice for short and long range
financial planning and funding. My experience as a resident not involved at a local level has led me to believe that our decision-
makers are often too concerned with short term band aid solutions than tackling issues facing our communities in the long term. I
believe the values of an institution can be found within the budget, and I would work to ensure that the city of Costa Mesa's budget
and short and long term financial planning and funding are reflective of our city's values. My qualifications for this position are my
bachelor's degrees in Human Services Studies and Policy Studies and my experience working within start-up organizations. My
degrees have provided me with the tools needed to analyze proposals to determine their financial impacts and to ensure that our
2
most vulnerable community members are not left behind. In addition, my experience working within start up organizations has
allowed me to better understand how organizations can budget properly to ensure financial stability and set themselves up for long
term success. For the Cultural Arts Committee, I believe that communities should support local artists and public displays of their
work. I have seen that local artists are able to inspire residents to get behind a shared vision, improving resident's sense of
togetherness. In a recent article highlighting Orange County United Way's United to End Homelessness Initiative, I saw that a mural
illuminating the plight of community members experiencing homelessness was placed. I believe this type of work should be
supported and am interested in advising on when and where local artists will be able to showcase their talents.

Finance and Pension Advisory Committee
Indicate why you wish to serve on this Committee/Commission.
It has been an honor to serve on the FIPAC for several years. I believe the members of FIPAC work very hard to research very
important fiscal matters such as City reserves, tax rates, pensions, vacancy factor, IT Strategic Plan funding, 115 trust, capital and
operating budgets and sales tax at OC Fairgrounds. I value the opportunity as a taxpayer to work with other Costa Mesans to advise
the City Council. I appreciate that the City Council has followed through with some of our recommendations and addressed our
concerns. Our meetings are efficient and discussions robust. We are a productive committee because each member of the FIPAC
brings a specific financial wisdom which well represents Costa Mesa taxpayers. With COVID affecting how the City serves its citizens
with fewer resources, it is even more important that citizens be involved and give input to the City Council. As a former council
member, I would be honored to be appointed to another term. Sincerely, Wendy Leece

Interested Committees/ Commissions:
Bikeability and Walkability Committee
Cultural Arts Committee
Fairview Park Steering Committee
Finance and Pension Advisory Committee
Historical Preservation Committee
Parks, Arts and Community Services Committee
Planning Commission
As a Committee/Commission member, what ideas or projects are of interest to you?
I have several interests related to all of the commissions and committees I have applied to here. My principal
interest lies in the City Planning Commission and its efforts to manage affordable housing needs and goals.
From there, FPAC is appealing insofar as the group is charged with problem-solving novel issues related to
budgetary topics which are near and dear to me. On that note, I believe the pressure that SARS CoV-2 has had
in Costa Mesa will require additional eyes to make sure our City's public servants continue to be funded as
promised, and to look long-term for economically responsible and sustainable growth. Also, the Parks, Arts
and Community Services Commission deals directly with potentially complicated issues with community
services. I will thrive in taking part in working with the group of commissioners to keep things moving in a
positive direction, especially as it relates to programs for children and seniors.
Next, the Bikeway and Walkability Committee (BWC), the Fairview Park Steering Committee (FPSC), Cultural
Arts Committee (CAC), and the Historical Preservation Committee (HPC) are all interesting components of
what helps Costa Mesa continue to be a leading City within the region when it comes to community-related
services. The BWC and FPSC would be a good fit for me since I am an avid walker and jogger through several of
2
our local parks, including Fairview Park. I see firsthand some of the issues with transportation-related themes
around the City, and I believe my background in surveying and planning will do these committees justice. With
the HPC and CAC, I believe I can make a difference as well. My family moved to Costa Mesa in 1958 when my
Grandfather, Raymond Perry, was hired to build the Water District. My family and I grew up here in the City,
and I believe very strongly that we should do our part to preserve the history and art that comes from where
we live.
Indicate why you wish to serve on this Committee/Commission. Provide any experience or qualifications
you may possess that you think would be beneficial to this Committee/Commission.
To the Honorable Mayor Katrina Foley, Mayor Pro Tem Andrea Marr, esteemed City Council Members Chavez,
Reynolds, Gameros, Harlan, and Harper, and the City Manager and Staff:
I am honored to enclose my application for your consideration regarding several Costa Mesa committees and
commissions up for appointment. Civic engagement is not only a great responsibility that requires relevant
experience and a history of involvement and future promise of dedication, but an ongoing sense of civic duty
and pride to make recommendations and decisions on behalf of our current and future residents, and at the
pleasure of City Council. What follows here will show my professional background, how it relates to these
appointments, my level of involvement and dedication, and where my strengths might be best positioned to
carry out the City’s vision for a healthy, prosperous, and sustainable future.
As you will note from the attached CV, I have the distinction of having served in several capacities associated
with the appointments for which I am applying to you now. I have a professional background in geographic
sciences (cartographic, spatial, urban and public works planning, statistical analysis, cost analysis), public
health and environmental health sciences (climate change and environmental writing and planning, State
boards/commissions, public engagement), and a long list of having served in related capacities and jobs within
my career. Please note, I have served as chair, co-chair, or lead in many of these roles over the years.
Most recently, I have the honor and distinction of having been appointed as the Programs Director for one of
Costa Mesa's longest-standing and impactful nonprofits. In this role I am focused on solving local food
insecurity and homeless-related issues while maintaining fiscally responsible decisions. I carry out my work
while also keeping an eye on the future of how we fit into City and County needs, including our SARS CoV-2
safety protocols and how we serve an at-risk population within the confines of our community. Also, I have
been recently appointed to the Costa Mesa Sanitary District’s Citizens Advisory Committee and continue to
serve as State Mentor for South Carolina’s Green Steps Schools program for Air Emissions and Carbon
Sequestration. I perform these duties while working in other service-related capacities while finishing my
research dissertation in the next few months in the School of Public Health at the University of South Carolina.
What you will glean from my CV is a dynamic work history, and through these experiences the ability to
connect and simplify disparate pieces of information. Much of that has to do with having built my career
around being of service through problem-solving, working collaboratively and collegially in diverse groups, and
looking at issues from all angles before moving forward with a plan. I believe these skills (among others) will
be of great use to the Costa Mesa Planning Commission in addition to other boards and commissions. Please
let me know if you have any questions and how I might best serve your needs as a representative of District 1.

Finance and Pension Advisory Committee Application 2020
A sound investment strategy, prudent fiscal management, and spending is essential for
Costa Mesa’s future success. My education at the University of California honed my
analytical skills and my work experience as a financial analyst at an investment bank
are useful in reviewing financial statements, assessing investment and saving
strategies, as well as, addressing efficiencies in fiscal policies and procedures.
My work as Director of Development for the Newport Beach Film Festival honed my
leadership, listening, and collaboration skills necessary for working well in a group
situation. I am hard working, data oriented and motivated to positively contribute my
knowledge, skills and time.
Before serving on it, I closely followed the work of the Finance and Pension Advisory
Committee by attending meetings, reviewing agendas and reports including the OC
LAFCO Fiscal Trend Reports, business license tax information packets, and agenda
reports considering potential new revenue sources. To better understand Costa Mesa’s
financial workings as well as financial challenges, I’ve also examined the CAFRs for the
last six years. In broader strokes, I study both national and global economic trends, one
US example being the effect of quantitative easing (and subsequent tapering) on market
performance.
During my tenure on the Finance and Pension Advisory Committee since 2016 I’ve
worked on several subcommittees including one dedicated to starting a Section 115
Trust (to help with the mounting unfounded pension liability). Additionally, I focused on
examining business license practices and remittance of sales tax from the OC
Fairgrounds to make sure that Costa Mesa is receiving its fair share of funds. To that
end a firm was hired to report tax trends and go after any unrealized revenue, as well
as, a dialogue being opened with the OC Fairgrounds regarding best practices
regarding this matter.
I hope to continue my service to Costa Mesa through this committee and thank you for
your time and consideration.

Indicate why you wish to serve on this Committee/Commission.
As a proud resident of Costa Mesa, I wish to serve on the Finance and Pension Advisory Committee to aid my community in keeping
our City financially sound. My educational and professional background has allowed me to develop both qualitative and quantitative
skills that served useful in a variety of leadership roles where I was responsible for balancing a budget and conducting audits. In
addition to my experience, I also recently received a certification from the Ross Minority Program in Real Estate at USC. Although
real estate centric, this program taught me many of the fundamental financial principles that I believe will be valuable and
transferable to this committee. Principles such as the creation of financial models, understanding of complex debt and equity
financing, and the ability to analyze the valuation of distressed assets have all prepared me for this role. Lastly, if given the
opportunity to serve, I will always be an independent voice, willing to listen fairly with an open mind, and prepared to ask questions
that will protect our City’s finances. Thank you for taking the time to review my submission and I look forward to the opportunity.
Sincerely, Boris Gresely

Indicate why you wish to serve on this Committee/Commission.
I would like to serve on this committee for two reasons; as a resident I feel it is important to give back to your community (time,
knowledge, etc.) and secondly, I have a background in (and passion for) investments and finance having worked at Lazard Asset
Management in New York and then Morgan Stanley in California, that I would like to contribute to my community. We are living in
unprecedented times with a pandemic that has affected budget and spending, and I would like to help provide solutions, advice or
be a sounding board as needed to the City whilst it navigates these uncertain times and tries to provide for all its’ residents. I am
familiar with managing budgets and have done so for several organizations: chamber of commerce, our local elementary school PTA,
non-profit organizations and our own personal finances. I’m in-tune and aware of balancing competing priorities within an
organization while trying to keep pace with inflation, lack of yield and market volatility. I believe I can contribute to this committee
and their objectives.

I would be interested in ideas and projects where I felt I could contribute. I do not presume to be familiar with all of the issues and

Committee faces would be of interest to me.

matters, including the City's budget. I voted on four budgets while on Council so I have insight into the challenges of council and staff, which I can bring to the FiPAC. I was a
member of the Pension Oversight Committee from 2013 to 2015, which was the precursor to the FiPAC. In that capacity, I worked with members of the POC to recommend
changes in the way we address our pension debt that were eventually put in place when I was elected to council. These measures have saved the City millions of dollars over
the years and will continue to do so. Finally,I have been a business trial attorney for 32 years and have owned my own firm since 1998. 23 years of having to make a payroll
and managing a service business in the private sector also qualifies me to serve on the FiPAC.
Provide any experience or qualifications you may possess that you think would be beneficial to this Committee/Commission. A resume (optional) may be attached. (Note: All

I'm particularly interested in helping the Council navigate through the difficult times that have come from the Covid-19 pandemic. The lingering reduction in tax revenue and
damage to our business base will continue to be a challenge for at least the next few years. The City staff and Council have some tough decisions ahead when it comes to
fiscal management and economic development. I would like to be in a position to assist with these decisions and to represent the voice of the residents on the important issue
of wise fiscal management of our City's finite resources.

I have been a Costa Mesa resident for over 20 years, with over 30 years in the area. I have two daughters, one of which is 9. With my
younger daughter I have been to every park in the city multiple times with her, so I'm very familiar with the area. I work well on a
team and I am very open to listening to other people's concerns. I was raised by both a Democrat and a Republican, I am an
independent and can work to make everybody happy. I've worked in construction my whole life and know what it takes to get things
done. In college I studied geology and have worked in the Commercial HVAC Construction market for over 30 years! I'm an avid
cyclist and have participated in the monthly rides (when we had them) with Arlis Reynolds and Jim Erickson. On our last ride
together for the 2020 Turkey Roll both had mentioned that I would be a good candidate for Parks, Arts and Community Services
Commission. But mostly, I just truly feel that this is an amazing City and I want to give back to it!

As a Committee/Commission member, what ideas or projects are of interest to you?
First and foremost I would work to protect the wonderful history that we have in our city. I'd work to promote physical activity and
exercise with the citizens is of the utmost importance. I have lots of ideas for pump tracks, more skateparks and possibly some
exercise stations. But I also understand the voice of the people and their needs are extremely important to me. So I would approach
the position with a VERY open mind!

Indicate why you wish to serve on this Committee/Commission.
The two committees I am interested in serving on are the Finance and Pension Advisory Committee and Cultural Arts Committee.
The Finance and Pension Advisory Committee is of particular interest to me because I am interested in reviewing and providing
advice for short and long range financial planning and funding for the city of Costa Mesa. Serving on the Cultural Arts Committee is
also of interest to me because I believe municipal support for local artists to showcase their talents is a fantastic way to build a sense
of community between residents.

Sheehan, Matthew Resume.pdf
As a Committee/Commission member, what ideas or projects are of interest to you?
For the Finance and Pension Advisory Committee, I am interested in reviewing and providing advice for short and long range
financial planning and funding. My experience as a resident not involved at a local level has led me to believe that our decision-
makers are often too concerned with short term band aid solutions than tackling issues facing our communities in the long term. I
believe the values of an institution can be found within the budget, and I would work to ensure that the city of Costa Mesa's budget
and short and long term financial planning and funding are reflective of our city's values. My qualifications for this position are my
bachelor's degrees in Human Services Studies and Policy Studies and my experience working within start-up organizations. My
degrees have provided me with the tools needed to analyze proposals to determine their financial impacts and to ensure that our
2
most vulnerable community members are not left behind. In addition, my experience working within start up organizations has
allowed me to better understand how organizations can budget properly to ensure financial stability and set themselves up for long
term success. For the Cultural Arts Committee, I believe that communities should support local artists and public displays of their
work. I have seen that local artists are able to inspire residents to get behind a shared vision, improving resident's sense of
togetherness. In a recent article highlighting Orange County United Way's United to End Homelessness Initiative, I saw that a mural
illuminating the plight of community members experiencing homelessness was placed. I believe this type of work should be
supported and am interested in advising on when and where local artists will be able to showcase their talents.

It has been an honor to serve on the FIPAC for several years. I believe the members of FIPAC work very hard to research very
important fiscal matters such as City reserves, tax rates, pensions, vacancy factor, IT Strategic Plan funding, 115 trust, capital and
operating budgets and sales tax at OC Fairgrounds. I value the opportunity as a taxpayer to work with other Costa Mesans to advise
the City Council. I appreciate that the City Council has followed through with some of our recommendations and addressed our
concerns. Our meetings are efficient and discussions robust. We are a productive committee because each member of the FIPAC
brings a specific financial wisdom which well represents Costa Mesa taxpayers. With COVID affecting how the City serves its citizens
with fewer resources, it is even more important that citizens be involved and give input to the City Council. As a former council
member, I would be honored to be appointed to another term. Sincerely, Wendy Leece
Provide any experience or qualifications you may possess that you think would be beneficial to this
Committee/Commission. A resume (optional) may be attached. (Note: All information contained on the

Subject:Adam Ereth - Committee/Commission application
Attachments:Adam_Ereth_CV_2021.docx
City Clerk's Office -
Attached/written in line here is my application for several commission and committee appointments to the City
of Costa Mesa (See responses below). I have also attached my CV with this email. Please let me know if you
need anything else.
Kind regards,
Adam Ereth
Interested Committees/ Commissions:
Bikeability and Walkability Committee
Cultural Arts Committee
Fairview Park Steering Committee
Finance and Pension Advisory Committee
Historical Preservation Committee
Parks, Arts and Community Services Committee
Planning Commission
As a Committee/Commission member, what ideas or projects are of interest to you?
I have several interests related to all of the commissions and committees I have applied to here. My principal
interest lies in the City Planning Commission and its efforts to manage affordable housing needs and goals.
From there, FPAC is appealing insofar as the group is charged with problem-solving novel issues related to
budgetary topics which are near and dear to me. On that note, I believe the pressure that SARS CoV-2 has had
in Costa Mesa will require additional eyes to make sure our City's public servants continue to be funded as
promised, and to look long-term for economically responsible and sustainable growth. Also, the Parks, Arts
and Community Services Commission deals directly with potentially complicated issues with community
services. I will thrive in taking part in working with the group of commissioners to keep things moving in a
positive direction, especially as it relates to programs for children and seniors.
Next, the Bikeway and Walkability Committee (BWC), the Fairview Park Steering Committee (FPSC), Cultural
Arts Committee (CAC), and the Historical Preservation Committee (HPC) are all interesting components of
what helps Costa Mesa continue to be a leading City within the region when it comes to community-related
services. The BWC and FPSC would be a good fit for me since I am an avid walker and jogger through several of
2
our local parks, including Fairview Park. I see firsthand some of the issues with transportation-related themes
around the City, and I believe my background in surveying and planning will do these committees justice. With
the HPC and CAC, I believe I can make a difference as well. My family moved to Costa Mesa in 1958 when my
Grandfather, Raymond Perry, was hired to build the Water District. My family and I grew up here in the City,
and I believe very strongly that we should do our part to preserve the history and art that comes from where
we live.
Indicate why you wish to serve on this Committee/Commission. Provide any experience or qualifications
you may possess that you think would be beneficial to this Committee/Commission.
To the Honorable Mayor Katrina Foley, Mayor Pro Tem Andrea Marr, esteemed City Council Members Chavez,
Reynolds, Gameros, Harlan, and Harper, and the City Manager and Staff:
I am honored to enclose my application for your consideration regarding several Costa Mesa committees and
commissions up for appointment. Civic engagement is not only a great responsibility that requires relevant
experience and a history of involvement and future promise of dedication, but an ongoing sense of civic duty
and pride to make recommendations and decisions on behalf of our current and future residents, and at the
pleasure of City Council. What follows here will show my professional background, how it relates to these
appointments, my level of involvement and dedication, and where my strengths might be best positioned to
carry out the City’s vision for a healthy, prosperous, and sustainable future.
As you will note from the attached CV, I have the distinction of having served in several capacities associated
with the appointments for which I am applying to you now. I have a professional background in geographic
sciences (cartographic, spatial, urban and public works planning, statistical analysis, cost analysis), public
health and environmental health sciences (climate change and environmental writing and planning, State
boards/commissions, public engagement), and a long list of having served in related capacities and jobs within
my career. Please note, I have served as chair, co-chair, or lead in many of these roles over the years.
Most recently, I have the honor and distinction of having been appointed as the Programs Director for one of
Costa Mesa's longest-standing and impactful nonprofits. In this role I am focused on solving local food
insecurity and homeless-related issues while maintaining fiscally responsible decisions. I carry out my work
while also keeping an eye on the future of how we fit into City and County needs, including our SARS CoV-2
safety protocols and how we serve an at-risk population within the confines of our community. Also, I have
been recently appointed to the Costa Mesa Sanitary District’s Citizens Advisory Committee and continue to
serve as State Mentor for South Carolina’s Green Steps Schools program for Air Emissions and Carbon
Sequestration. I perform these duties while working in other service-related capacities while finishing my
research dissertation in the next few months in the School of Public Health at the University of South Carolina.
What you will glean from my CV is a dynamic work history, and through these experiences the ability to
connect and simplify disparate pieces of information. Much of that has to do with having built my career
around being of service through problem-solving, working collaboratively and collegially in diverse groups, and
looking at issues from all angles before moving forward with a plan. I believe these skills (among others) will
be of great use to the Costa Mesa Planning Commission in addition to other boards and commissions. Please
let me know if you have any questions and how I might best serve your needs as a representative of District 1.

Indicate why you wish to serve on this Committee/Commission.
The needs of our city are many and varied. My husband, Quentin Pullen, ran for mayor in this past election. I served as his campaign
manager. We decided to get involved in politics because we want to help improve our community. We may not have won, but we
are here to serve. I would like the opportunity to help make a difference. My entire life, I have been a lover of nature and the arts. I
was born in Romania and grew up under an authoritarian Communist regime. Nature and the arts were where we could escape.
Every day after school we went to the local park. We explored and took advantage of the courts to learn to play tennis. We ran
through fields, hiked, played in rivers and lakes, learned about the local fauna and flora. My parents may not have had much, but
they deeply valued education and firmly believed in exposing us to the arts. They took us to museums, the symphony, ballet, and the
opera. We visited historical sights on every vacation. I carry these experiences as an essential part of who I am today. I want to help
nourish these types of projects in my city, Costa Mesa, which has been my home now for 13 years. My professional background has
ensured I have acquired the necessary skills to be a meaningful contributor. I am currently a Business Systems Project Manager &
Integrator. Previously, I was the Vice President & COO of a local window film and security glazing products company. I believe in
collaboration, cooperation, and good communication, and have the drive to carry projects to successful completion.
Provide any experience or qualifications you may possess that you think would be beneficial to this

I would be honored to work on any project that helps increase access to natural spaces, exposure and immersion in the arts, projects
that foster a stronger sense of community, and allow us to get to better know each other as neighbors.

Indicate why you wish to serve on this Committee/Commission.
I moved to Costa Mesa about 50 years ago, after growing up in Corona del Mar. I graduated from UCI and raised two wonderful sons
here. I have been active in school and civic affairs, cycled and walked neighborhoods, and attended many council and commission
meetings. I watching the city grow and evolve from open fields and quaint bungalows to a vibrant metropolis that is exciting but is
plagued with big-city problems. My professional experience includes a career as a general contractor, real estate broker, and
teacher, and along with my interest in civic activism, I have acquired an in-depth knowledge of all areas of Costa Mesa. I have
extensive of the physical layout of the city and the issues that it faces in connection with the incorporation of new bikeways and
multiuser trails. I am also on the board of directors of two local nonprofit organizations. The reasons why I want to continue serving
on the Bikeway and Walkability Committee are to implement the Active Transportation Plan, as supplemented by the Pedestrian
Master Plan that is in progress. For over five years the Committee has work to create a comprehensive plan that will benefit the
community for years to come, but much more work remains to implement the goals and policies contained in the Active
Transportation Plan.

The committee needs to help the City meet the challenge of updating the active transportation infrastructure in order to get
residents to transition away from a car-oriented culture. This mode shift is one of the policies in the Active Transportation Plan.

our neighborhoods. We need to take advantage of this shift and encourage residents to use cycling and walking as primary modes of
transportation. New technologies, such as battery-powered bikes and shared active transportation modes, need to be considered in
future street designs. The Committee has a subcommittee that has been working to bring a micro-mobility sharing to the City
Council for consideration. We need to continue this work as legislation passed last year has cleared up some of the liability issues
associated with shared micro-mobility. Companies are interested in bringing bike and scooter shares to the city and we need to be
able and cooperative in this effort towards mode shift.

Interested Committees/ Commissions:
Bikeability and Walkability Committee
Cultural Arts Committee
Fairview Park Steering Committee
Finance and Pension Advisory Committee
Historical Preservation Committee
Parks, Arts and Community Services Committee
Planning Commission
As a Committee/Commission member, what ideas or projects are of interest to you?
I have several interests related to all of the commissions and committees I have applied to here. My principal
interest lies in the City Planning Commission and its efforts to manage affordable housing needs and goals.
From there, FPAC is appealing insofar as the group is charged with problem-solving novel issues related to
budgetary topics which are near and dear to me. On that note, I believe the pressure that SARS CoV-2 has had
in Costa Mesa will require additional eyes to make sure our City's public servants continue to be funded as
promised, and to look long-term for economically responsible and sustainable growth. Also, the Parks, Arts
and Community Services Commission deals directly with potentially complicated issues with community
services. I will thrive in taking part in working with the group of commissioners to keep things moving in a
positive direction, especially as it relates to programs for children and seniors.
Next, the Bikeway and Walkability Committee (BWC), the Fairview Park Steering Committee (FPSC), Cultural
Arts Committee (CAC), and the Historical Preservation Committee (HPC) are all interesting components of
what helps Costa Mesa continue to be a leading City within the region when it comes to community-related
services. The BWC and FPSC would be a good fit for me since I am an avid walker and jogger through several of
2
our local parks, including Fairview Park. I see firsthand some of the issues with transportation-related themes
around the City, and I believe my background in surveying and planning will do these committees justice. With
the HPC and CAC, I believe I can make a difference as well. My family moved to Costa Mesa in 1958 when my
Grandfather, Raymond Perry, was hired to build the Water District. My family and I grew up here in the City,
and I believe very strongly that we should do our part to preserve the history and art that comes from where
we live.
Indicate why you wish to serve on this Committee/Commission. Provide any experience or qualifications
you may possess that you think would be beneficial to this Committee/Commission.
To the Honorable Mayor Katrina Foley, Mayor Pro Tem Andrea Marr, esteemed City Council Members Chavez,
Reynolds, Gameros, Harlan, and Harper, and the City Manager and Staff:
I am honored to enclose my application for your consideration regarding several Costa Mesa committees and
commissions up for appointment. Civic engagement is not only a great responsibility that requires relevant
experience and a history of involvement and future promise of dedication, but an ongoing sense of civic duty
and pride to make recommendations and decisions on behalf of our current and future residents, and at the
pleasure of City Council. What follows here will show my professional background, how it relates to these
appointments, my level of involvement and dedication, and where my strengths might be best positioned to
carry out the City’s vision for a healthy, prosperous, and sustainable future.
As you will note from the attached CV, I have the distinction of having served in several capacities associated
with the appointments for which I am applying to you now. I have a professional background in geographic
sciences (cartographic, spatial, urban and public works planning, statistical analysis, cost analysis), public
health and environmental health sciences (climate change and environmental writing and planning, State
boards/commissions, public engagement), and a long list of having served in related capacities and jobs within
my career. Please note, I have served as chair, co-chair, or lead in many of these roles over the years.
Most recently, I have the honor and distinction of having been appointed as the Programs Director for one of
Costa Mesa's longest-standing and impactful nonprofits. In this role I am focused on solving local food
insecurity and homeless-related issues while maintaining fiscally responsible decisions. I carry out my work
while also keeping an eye on the future of how we fit into City and County needs, including our SARS CoV-2
safety protocols and how we serve an at-risk population within the confines of our community. Also, I have
been recently appointed to the Costa Mesa Sanitary District’s Citizens Advisory Committee and continue to
serve as State Mentor for South Carolina’s Green Steps Schools program for Air Emissions and Carbon
Sequestration. I perform these duties while working in other service-related capacities while finishing my
research dissertation in the next few months in the School of Public Health at the University of South Carolina.
What you will glean from my CV is a dynamic work history, and through these experiences the ability to
connect and simplify disparate pieces of information. Much of that has to do with having built my career
around being of service through problem-solving, working collaboratively and collegially in diverse groups, and
looking at issues from all angles before moving forward with a plan. I believe these skills (among others) will
be of great use to the Costa Mesa Planning Commission in addition to other boards and commissions. Please
let me know if you have any questions and how I might best serve your needs as a representative of District 1.

Indicate why you wish to serve on this Committee/Commission.
The needs of our city are many and varied. My husband, Quentin Pullen, ran for mayor in this past election. I served as his campaign
manager. We decided to get involved in politics because we want to help improve our community. We may not have won, but we
are here to serve. I would like the opportunity to help make a difference. My entire life, I have been a lover of nature and the arts. I
was born in Romania and grew up under an authoritarian Communist regime. Nature and the arts were where we could escape.
Every day after school we went to the local park. We explored and took advantage of the courts to learn to play tennis. We ran
through fields, hiked, played in rivers and lakes, learned about the local fauna and flora. My parents may not have had much, but
they deeply valued education and firmly believed in exposing us to the arts. They took us to museums, the symphony, ballet, and the
opera. We visited historical sights on every vacation. I carry these experiences as an essential part of who I am today. I want to help
nourish these types of projects in my city, Costa Mesa, which has been my home now for 13 years. My professional background has
ensured I have acquired the necessary skills to be a meaningful contributor. I am currently a Business Systems Project Manager &
Integrator. Previously, I was the Vice President & COO of a local window film and security glazing products company. I believe in
collaboration, cooperation, and good communication, and have the drive to carry projects to successful completion.

that foster a stronger sense of community, and allow us to get to better know each other as neighbors.

Indicate why you wish to serve on this Committee/Commission.
I moved to Costa Mesa about 50 years ago, after growing up in Corona del Mar. I graduated from UCI and raised two wonderful sons
here. I have been active in school and civic affairs, cycled and walked neighborhoods, and attended many council and commission
meetings. I watching the city grow and evolve from open fields and quaint bungalows to a vibrant metropolis that is exciting but is
plagued with big-city problems. My professional experience includes a career as a general contractor, real estate broker, and
teacher, and along with my interest in civic activism, I have acquired an in-depth knowledge of all areas of Costa Mesa. I have
extensive of the physical layout of the city and the issues that it faces in connection with the incorporation of new bikeways and
multiuser trails. I am also on the board of directors of two local nonprofit organizations. The reasons why I want to continue serving
on the Bikeway and Walkability Committee are to implement the Active Transportation Plan, as supplemented by the Pedestrian
Master Plan that is in progress. For over five years the Committee has work to create a comprehensive plan that will benefit the
community for years to come, but much more work remains to implement the goals and policies contained in the Active
Transportation Plan.

As a Committee/Commission member, what ideas or projects are of interest to you?
The committee needs to help the City meet the challenge of updating the active transportation infrastructure in order to get
residents to transition away from a car-oriented culture. This mode shift is one of the policies in the Active Transportation Plan.
2
Since many of us now work from home as a result of COVID-19, we have seen an increase in the popularity of cycling and walking in
our neighborhoods. We need to take advantage of this shift and encourage residents to use cycling and walking as primary modes of
transportation. New technologies, such as battery-powered bikes and shared active transportation modes, need to be considered in
future street designs. The Committee has a subcommittee that has been working to bring a micro-mobility sharing to the City
Council for consideration. We need to continue this work as legislation passed last year has cleared up some of the liability issues
associated with shared micro-mobility. Companies are interested in bringing bike and scooter shares to the city and we need to be
able and cooperative in this effort towards mode shift.

City Clerk's Office -
Attached/written in line here is my application for several commission and committee appointments to the City
of Costa Mesa (See responses below). I have also attached my CV with this email. Please let me know if you
need anything else.
Kind regards,
Adam Ereth
Interested Committees/ Commissions:
Bikeability and Walkability Committee
Cultural Arts Committee
Fairview Park Steering Committee
Finance and Pension Advisory Committee
Historical Preservation Committee
Parks, Arts and Community Services Committee
Planning Commission
As a Committee/Commission member, what ideas or projects are of interest to you?
I have several interests related to all of the commissions and committees I have applied to here. My principal
interest lies in the City Planning Commission and its efforts to manage affordable housing needs and goals.
From there, FPAC is appealing insofar as the group is charged with problem-solving novel issues related to
budgetary topics which are near and dear to me. On that note, I believe the pressure that SARS CoV-2 has had
in Costa Mesa will require additional eyes to make sure our City's public servants continue to be funded as
promised, and to look long-term for economically responsible and sustainable growth. Also, the Parks, Arts
and Community Services Commission deals directly with potentially complicated issues with community
services. I will thrive in taking part in working with the group of commissioners to keep things moving in a
positive direction, especially as it relates to programs for children and seniors.
Next, the Bikeway and Walkability Committee (BWC), the Fairview Park Steering Committee (FPSC), Cultural
Arts Committee (CAC), and the Historical Preservation Committee (HPC) are all interesting components of
what helps Costa Mesa continue to be a leading City within the region when it comes to community-related
services. The BWC and FPSC would be a good fit for me since I am an avid walker and jogger through several of

our local parks, including Fairview Park. I see firsthand some of the issues with transportation-related themes
around the City, and I believe my background in surveying and planning will do these committees justice. With
the HPC and CAC, I believe I can make a difference as well. My family moved to Costa Mesa in 1958 when my
Grandfather, Raymond Perry, was hired to build the Water District. My family and I grew up here in the City,
and I believe very strongly that we should do our part to preserve the history and art that comes from where
we live.
Indicate why you wish to serve on this Committee/Commission. Provide any experience or qualifications
you may possess that you think would be beneficial to this Committee/Commission.
To the Honorable Mayor Katrina Foley, Mayor Pro Tem Andrea Marr, esteemed City Council Members Chavez,
Reynolds, Gameros, Harlan, and Harper, and the City Manager and Staff:
I am honored to enclose my application for your consideration regarding several Costa Mesa committees and
commissions up for appointment. Civic engagement is not only a great responsibility that requires relevant
experience and a history of involvement and future promise of dedication, but an ongoing sense of civic duty
and pride to make recommendations and decisions on behalf of our current and future residents, and at the
pleasure of City Council. What follows here will show my professional background, how it relates to these
appointments, my level of involvement and dedication, and where my strengths might be best positioned to
carry out the City’s vision for a healthy, prosperous, and sustainable future.
As you will note from the attached CV, I have the distinction of having served in several capacities associated
with the appointments for which I am applying to you now. I have a professional background in geographic
sciences (cartographic, spatial, urban and public works planning, statistical analysis, cost analysis), public
health and environmental health sciences (climate change and environmental writing and planning, State
boards/commissions, public engagement), and a long list of having served in related capacities and jobs within
my career. Please note, I have served as chair, co-chair, or lead in many of these roles over the years.
Most recently, I have the honor and distinction of having been appointed as the Programs Director for one of
Costa Mesa's longest-standing and impactful nonprofits. In this role I am focused on solving local food
insecurity and homeless-related issues while maintaining fiscally responsible decisions. I carry out my work
while also keeping an eye on the future of how we fit into City and County needs, including our SARS CoV-2
safety protocols and how we serve an at-risk population within the confines of our community. Also, I have
been recently appointed to the Costa Mesa Sanitary District’s Citizens Advisory Committee and continue to
serve as State Mentor for South Carolina’s Green Steps Schools program for Air Emissions and Carbon
Sequestration. I perform these duties while working in other service-related capacities while finishing my
research dissertation in the next few months in the School of Public Health at the University of South Carolina.
What you will glean from my CV is a dynamic work history, and through these experiences the ability to
connect and simplify disparate pieces of information. Much of that has to do with having built my career
around being of service through problem-solving, working collaboratively and collegially in diverse groups, and
looking at issues from all angles before moving forward with a plan. I believe these skills (among others) will
be of great use to the Costa Mesa Planning Commission in addition to other boards and commissions. Please
let me know if you have any questions and how I might best serve your needs as a representative of District 1.

I enjoy serving community for something that would better their lives. Being a part of the committee will give me a chance to raise
voice on things I believe could help Costa Mesa become a better place. I have lived in UK, Netherlands, Sweden, Cyprus and
Denmark and I believe although there is a big difference in American and other cultures but as human and community there are
many aspects of essential elements that we all commonly need for better our lives. Build environment can help in easing stress level
in community which in return bring positive results in our interaction and communication. I am a student in Cal Poly Pomona, for
Urban and Regional Planning/design. Completed my Architecture Associate degree from Orange Coast College. I also participated in
research and presented my finding at the OCC symposium 2019 (How to encourage walkability in Costa Mesa) and 2020 (Effects of
High Density Housing on Walkability in Costa Mesa). Right now I am running a meetup group named "Building Communities" that
focuses on how build environment and negative spaces, I give presentations to my members on topics concerning Urban design and
planning. I am also working on a RIO research with my professor on tiny house.

According to my research on "Effects of High Desnity housing on Walkability in Costa Mesa" I survey six locations and found out that
the old low density housing areas are more walkable than the new high density housing locations in Costa Mesa. Afew of the issues
that come to my mind for now as a Costa Mesa resident who has lived here for 8 years are 1) Costa Mesa needs to emphaize on
more foot traffic by making the sidewalks more safer and interesting. And 2) All residential sites in Costa Mesa need a community
park /outdoors areas and their community market place to minmize low density house owners to drive to local grocery stores. It is
studied that people living in low density houses tend to drive more often and have more cars.

Housing & Public Service Grants Committee
I just moved to Costa Mesa and I would love to be apart of impactful and positive changes for the city and its citizens. I myself have experienced how difficult it is to buy a
home in Costa Mesa and furthermore working through stringent planning and building requirements to improve upon that house. From affordable housing to new
development, I believe housing is the key to any city's appeal to prospective citizens. Furthermore, as a west side Costa Mesa resident - I think it is has a lot of potential in
this regard as well.

I would like to continue helping the City of Costa Mesa assist meaningful organizations through grants. Small grants from our city allow the organizations to do life-changing
good. The grants with the biggest impact per dollar are the meals provided to seniors and homebound people, as well as support to local youth services. While I have never
faced food insecurity (and wouldn't mind losing a few COVID pounds) I understand the power of giving a meal to someone in need and the comfort it brings as one less
important thing they need to worry about in their day. The youth services impact our community on the other end of the spectrum, giving young people the opportunity to
stand out to employers. This empowers them to secure meaningful first jobs to greatly accelerate their career path years into the future.

Housing & Public Service Grants Committee
Indicate why you wish to serve on this Committee/Commission.
I wish to serve on the Housing & Service Grants Committee. I am interested in being part of the team that works to educate the
community in the activities funded by HUD. Housing is a big issue facing Orange County, and with the cost of living increasing each
and every day, the community should be knowledgable in what decisions are being made, and most importantly how these decisions
will affect them. There has been a lot of changes to housing in our city of Costa Mesa, which unfortunately most locals are unaware
of, until the changes have already been made. I hope that by being part of this committee, as a Costa Mesa long term resident, I can
bring in a new perspective into the decisions being made to better advocate for the residents of Costa Mesa. Being an advocate for
the residents of Costa Mesa, is nothing new to me. During my time working with Children's Bureau, I worked directly with many
Costa Mesa residents where HUD has had an impact in their lives. I was also part of a committee, during my years at CSUF, where
important decisions were made weekly, to allocate money judicially between clubs and organizations who needed funding for
research or conferences. These decisions were made with several careful considerations taken into account; by being part of the
Housing & Service Grants Committee I hope to bring the same careful considerations into the decisions made by HUD.
Provide any experience or qualifications you may possess that you think would be beneficial to this
Committee/Commission. A resume (optional) may be attached. (Note: All information contained on the

As a Committee/Commission member, what ideas or projects are of interest to you?
Being part of the Housing & Public Service Grants committee the ideas that most interest me are making decisions that impact our
homeless and our low income individuals and families. I have worked with referring clients to many of these HUD funded shelters
2
such as Mercy House, Families Forward, and Collette's Children's Home. There are many times when a client is calling asking for
help, that unfortunately clients are unable to meet certain criteria to qualify for housing. This is due to HUD restrictions. I hope that
with my experience working with those directly affected by HUD regulations, I am able to advocate in order to see less homeless
families and members in the community and keep them housed.

Indicate why you wish to serve on this Committee/Commission.
Hello, Planning commission and the Housing & Public Service Grants Committee are my top two preferences. I reside in district 2. I
am willing to take any length of term as the city sees fit. I seek to increase my involvement in city matters that affect those that
reside, work, etc. in Costa Mesa to further improve our great city. I have recently participated in two recent city council meetings
and found that many of the agenda items I had a unique, experienced perspective to offer the council. My input was appreciated
and useful to further the discussion so the council could resolve the issue in a timely fashion. I hope to do the same for one or more
of these committees, commissions I have requested. I am an Air Force overseas war veteran, have a degree in legal studies from UC
Berkeley with associate degrees from IVC in Spanish, Computer Information Science, and Physical Education. I have been elected
leader of many organizations including honor societies in college focusing on service to the community and an Orange County non
profit focusing on restoring developed and undeveloped lands, areas back to OC native plants and away from wasteful, harmful
invasive plant species. I have also personally served our community in many capacities including regularly donating platelets
hundreds of times this century, leading group cleanups/restorations of parks/wild lands, as well as delivering donated food to low
income Costa Mesa seniors with the Costa Mesa Senior Center for most of this C19 pandemic. I am educated, experienced,
motivated and prepared to be a valuable contribution to any committee/commission. I will be a stickler for the rules, procedures
when I serve and strive to improve those methods for better efficiency and performance. I thank you for the opportunity to serve.

As a Committee/Commission member, what ideas or projects are of interest to you?
My focus will be primarily on improving all things Costa Mesa for a more sustainable, healthy, efficient, and representative future for
all. Specifically upgrading our city building, restoration, procurement codes/policies for greater cost effectiveness for all stakeholders
in the long term with respect to energy efficiency, water efficiency, indoor air quality, safety, local material/product usage, etc. A
long term focus should be applied for such long term projects, purchases for the benefit of all involved. I find the focus is often too
much on short term or purchase price rather than long term/life cycle costs, benefits. With that said, all issues/items brought to my
attention while serving on a committee/commission will receive my full attention to explore, learn about, discuss and decide in a
timely fashion. I will be diligent with my assigned duties.

As a Committee/Commission member, what ideas or projects are of interest to you?
For the Bikeway & Walkability Committee - I look forward to comprehending the master plan and discussing how we can
adjust/update in order to provide an even better experience to pedestrians. In my opinion, our city is very car-dependent, and I'd
strive to make it more biker/walker friendly. For the Housing & Public Service Grants Committee - I'd utilize my experience as a local
real estate agent and construction management professional to help guide the use of public funds to where they would be most
impactful, meanwhile working to make this public knowledge widely known (rather than seemingly operating in private).

Profile
A dedicated team member, mentor, employee and friend, I’ve learned to
successfully navigate the commercial construction landscape with fair, direct
and intuitive communication. I’ve consistently delivered results and fostered
lasting relationships with my clients, both internal and external. Having
worked on relatively small teams with big workloads, I have been afforded
opportunities for growth in all aspects of both construction and
management, happily never pigeon-holed like many in our industry. As a
manager I discovered my love for mentorship and training, something that I
feel is imperative to every great team, office, and company.

I enjoy serving community for something that would better their lives. Being a part of the committee will give me a chance to raise
voice on things I believe could help Costa Mesa become a better place. I have lived in UK, Netherlands, Sweden, Cyprus and
Denmark and I believe although there is a big difference in American and other cultures but as human and community there are
many aspects of essential elements that we all commonly need for better our lives. Build environment can help in easing stress level
in community which in return bring positive results in our interaction and communication. I am a student in Cal Poly Pomona, for
Urban and Regional Planning/design. Completed my Architecture Associate degree from Orange Coast College. I also participated in
research and presented my finding at the OCC symposium 2019 (How to encourage walkability in Costa Mesa) and 2020 (Effects of
High Density Housing on Walkability in Costa Mesa). Right now I am running a meetup group named "Building Communities" that
focuses on how build environment and negative spaces, I give presentations to my members on topics concerning Urban design and
planning. I am also working on a RIO research with my professor on tiny house.

According to my research on "Effects of High Desnity housing on Walkability in Costa Mesa" I survey six locations and found out that
the old low density housing areas are more walkable than the new high density housing locations in Costa Mesa. Afew of the issues
that come to my mind for now as a Costa Mesa resident who has lived here for 8 years are 1) Costa Mesa needs to emphaize on
more foot traffic by making the sidewalks more safer and interesting. And 2) All residential sites in Costa Mesa need a community
park /outdoors areas and their community market place to minmize low density house owners to drive to local grocery stores. It is
studied that people living in low density houses tend to drive more often and have more cars.

I just moved to Costa Mesa and I would love to be apart of impactful and positive changes for the city and its citizens. I myself have experienced how difficult it is to buy a
home in Costa Mesa and furthermore working through stringent planning and building requirements to improve upon that house. From affordable housing to new
development, I believe housing is the key to any city's appeal to prospective citizens. Furthermore, as a west side Costa Mesa resident - I think it is has a lot of potential in
this regard as well.

I would like to continue helping the City of Costa Mesa assist meaningful organizations through grants. Small grants from our city allow the organizations to do life-changing
good. The grants with the biggest impact per dollar are the meals provided to seniors and homebound people, as well as support to local youth services. While I have never
faced food insecurity (and wouldn't mind losing a few COVID pounds) I understand the power of giving a meal to someone in need and the comfort it brings as one less
important thing they need to worry about in their day. The youth services impact our community on the other end of the spectrum, giving young people the opportunity to
stand out to employers. This empowers them to secure meaningful first jobs to greatly accelerate their career path years into the future.

Housing & Public Service Grants Committee
Indicate why you wish to serve on this Committee/Commission.
I wish to serve on the Housing & Service Grants Committee. I am interested in being part of the team that works to educate the
community in the activities funded by HUD. Housing is a big issue facing Orange County, and with the cost of living increasing each
and every day, the community should be knowledgable in what decisions are being made, and most importantly how these decisions
will affect them. There has been a lot of changes to housing in our city of Costa Mesa, which unfortunately most locals are unaware
of, until the changes have already been made. I hope that by being part of this committee, as a Costa Mesa long term resident, I can
bring in a new perspective into the decisions being made to better advocate for the residents of Costa Mesa. Being an advocate for
the residents of Costa Mesa, is nothing new to me. During my time working with Children's Bureau, I worked directly with many
Costa Mesa residents where HUD has had an impact in their lives. I was also part of a committee, during my years at CSUF, where
important decisions were made weekly, to allocate money judicially between clubs and organizations who needed funding for
research or conferences. These decisions were made with several careful considerations taken into account; by being part of the
Housing & Service Grants Committee I hope to bring the same careful considerations into the decisions made by HUD.
Provide any experience or qualifications you may possess that you think would be beneficial to this

As a Committee/Commission member, what ideas or projects are of interest to you?
Being part of the Housing & Public Service Grants committee the ideas that most interest me are making decisions that impact our
homeless and our low income individuals and families. I have worked with referring clients to many of these HUD funded shelters
2
such as Mercy House, Families Forward, and Collette's Children's Home. There are many times when a client is calling asking for
help, that unfortunately clients are unable to meet certain criteria to qualify for housing. This is due to HUD restrictions. I hope that
with my experience working with those directly affected by HUD regulations, I am able to advocate in order to see less homeless
families and members in the community and keep them housed.

Indicate why you wish to serve on this Committee/Commission.
Hello, Planning commission and the Housing & Public Service Grants Committee are my top two preferences. I reside in district 2. I
am willing to take any length of term as the city sees fit. I seek to increase my involvement in city matters that affect those that
reside, work, etc. in Costa Mesa to further improve our great city. I have recently participated in two recent city council meetings
and found that many of the agenda items I had a unique, experienced perspective to offer the council. My input was appreciated
and useful to further the discussion so the council could resolve the issue in a timely fashion. I hope to do the same for one or more
of these committees, commissions I have requested. I am an Air Force overseas war veteran, have a degree in legal studies from UC
Berkeley with associate degrees from IVC in Spanish, Computer Information Science, and Physical Education. I have been elected
leader of many organizations including honor societies in college focusing on service to the community and an Orange County non
profit focusing on restoring developed and undeveloped lands, areas back to OC native plants and away from wasteful, harmful
invasive plant species. I have also personally served our community in many capacities including regularly donating platelets
hundreds of times this century, leading group cleanups/restorations of parks/wild lands, as well as delivering donated food to low
income Costa Mesa seniors with the Costa Mesa Senior Center for most of this C19 pandemic. I am educated, experienced,
motivated and prepared to be a valuable contribution to any committee/commission. I will be a stickler for the rules, procedures
when I serve and strive to improve those methods for better efficiency and performance. I thank you for the opportunity to serve.

As a Committee/Commission member, what ideas or projects are of interest to you?
My focus will be primarily on improving all things Costa Mesa for a more sustainable, healthy, efficient, and representative future for
all. Specifically upgrading our city building, restoration, procurement codes/policies for greater cost effectiveness for all stakeholders
in the long term with respect to energy efficiency, water efficiency, indoor air quality, safety, local material/product usage, etc. A
long term focus should be applied for such long term projects, purchases for the benefit of all involved. I find the focus is often too
much on short term or purchase price rather than long term/life cycle costs, benefits. With that said, all issues/items brought to my
attention while serving on a committee/commission will receive my full attention to explore, learn about, discuss and decide in a
timely fashion. I will be diligent with my assigned duties.

I'm relatively new to Costa Mesa, my wife and I are transplants from San Francisco - we bought our first home here just three years
ago, and we're very proud to call Costa Mesa home. We love our house, we love our neighbors/neighborhood, and we love the
city....that said, I'd like to do my part to ensure that this city continues to progress down a path that we all know has huge longterm
potential. I haven't yet served on a city committee/commission, but I look forward to being able to provide a different perspective
from what may currently be represented in these groups. I realize that my application is arriving past the deadline - I did not see the

As a Committee/Commission member, what ideas or projects are of interest to you?
For the Bikeway & Walkability Committee - I look forward to comprehending the master plan and discussing how we can
adjust/update in order to provide an even better experience to pedestrians. In my opinion, our city is very car-dependent, and I'd
strive to make it more biker/walker friendly. For the Housing & Public Service Grants Committee - I'd utilize my experience as a local
real estate agent and construction management professional to help guide the use of public funds to where they would be most
impactful, meanwhile working to make this public knowledge widely known (rather than seemingly operating in private).
