Read-Only Content All information on this page only is considered public information and will be released to the public, including being posted on the City's website. Name: Tod Beckett-Frank Indicate the name of the Committee/Commission you are interested in serving on: Cultural Arts Committee Parks, Arts and Community Services Commission Indicate why you wish to serve on this Committee/Commission. I have a BA in Music from CSUF and currently perform with the Southern California Philharmonic & the Saddleback College Symphony (when they are in session). I have served on the board for the South Orange County chapter of PFLAG in various roles (VP, Secretary, Treasurer) for about 8 years. My husband and I live next to Fairview Park. I also have a BS in Computer Science and worked in that field for more than 31 years at Quest Diagnostics. 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? Music related projects are of specific interest to me. Note: This contact information will not be posted on the City’s website or distributed to the public. However, this information is still subject to release pursuant to the California Public Records Act. Address: Phone (cell): 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. 1 GONZALEZ, GLADYS From:Adam Ereth <sandiegogeography@gmail.com> Sent:Monday, January 4, 2021 8:51 AM To:CITY CLERK 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, 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. 3 Kind regards, Adam C.

Name: Charlene Ashendorf Indicate the name of the Committee/Commission you are interested in serving on: Parks, Arts and Community Services Commission Indicate why you wish to serve on this Committee/Commission. PARKS, ARTS & COMMUNITY SERVICES embodies the heart of Costa Mesa. Residents and visitors alike are drawn to this community because of its many beautiful parks, public art viewings and the offerings of a myriad of services. The restructuring of the commission resulted in my expected term ending 2023 expiring prematurely! The last two years as Commissioner, liaison to senior/senior center, I have established strong relationships, forged many partnerships and represented the community served by the activities of the Costa Mesa Senior Center. Whether by writing bi-monthly articles for The Chronicle, regularly attending a variety of senior ZOOM programs or sharing information about the center and for the seniors, I was able to be the eyes and ears beyond staff as commissioner. The pandemic forced me to creatively seek ways to represent the needs of its population as well as working with my fellow commissioners and staff. So why do I wish to serve? With a makeup (perhaps) of new commissioners, experience will be important. I have the passion, knowledge and strong desire to continue to serve my community. I believe that my service as continuity, history and enthusiasm will be of benefit to the Commission. 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? In the current pandemic state, I would like to see projects that increase community engagement in a broader, more expanded way. Park tours, virtually; educational programming virtually; art and entertainment walks virtually. Activities and interests to all ages in partnership with nonprofits, businesses, and the school district to stimulate the interests in our parks and arts! But also, in the current environment, I would be very interested in seeking ways to engage members beyond the online world. People need more 2 than screen time. We need to be creative with "FACE" time, "FIELD" time. In a post-pandemic environment, our city will have to ramp up quickly to meet the demands on our parks, the maintenance, budgetary demands and new programming! From the perspective of the arts we need to be prepared to approve and execute a Cultural Arts Master Plan that will benefit our residents as well as proceed ahead at a quick pace. The arts and artists need our city to survive and thrive. We must be ready to not simply bring our parks, the arts and our services to its 2020 level but beyond 2021! The role of the commission will play an important part in keeping Parks, Arts and Services at the heart of this city.

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. Erik W.

Optional Resume 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.

As a Committee/Commission member, what ideas or projects are of interest to you? Page 1 of 2 Note: This contact information will not be posted on the City’s website or distributed to Elizabeth "Liz" Dorn Parker Parks, Arts and Community Service Commission I have a passion for how the quality of life for residents, children, and particularly seniors are transformed by coordinated access to parks, parkways, classes, and programs. As a nearly 37-year resident of the East Side of Costa Mesa, my family have participated in the recreational programs of the city, community services, accessed parks and parkways, the arts, and deeply understand the strengths and weaknesses of each of the commission’s responsibilities. I have had the pleasure of serving in many leadership capacities that all circle back around to the responsibilities, planning and future of this commission. An example is while serving as the president of the youth baseball (NHBA), I began the work to coordinate field use and maintenance between all of the youth sports, the needs of adult recreation programming, and the school district’s vast fields. By forming a working committee with representatives from the cities, the school district, and the youth sports we were able to create an innovative solution to the ongoing challenge of how to ensure the community’s needs are all met within the limited funds, space and facilities. In addition, I have served this community as an elected member of the Orange County Board of Education (retired now) for 32 years by providing innovative leadership and support of those ‘at- promise’ children. Much of the services these children require are far beyond the classroom, requiring coordination and collaboration with local organizations, other educational entities, and creative solutions based on research and data on what works for their needs. This same process of evaluation, assessment and planning is perfectly suited for the work of this commission. We have a unique opportunity with the current crises to re-imagine and innovate how the city can provide for the city’s residents. The commission has the chance of a lifetime to better understand the role of the city’s parks, programs, community services, parks, parkways, and the arts on ensuring a higher quality of life for all, especially for our seniors. By utilizing my skills and understanding of collaboration between entities, using my abilities to analyze data collected of past use of programs and parks, to then plan short-term and long-term for how to keep what works and how to create what was never thought possible within a realistic budget and timeline. It would be my honor to undertake the critical work of the commission to enrich the quality of life for all of our citizens of the city of Costa Mesa. Now that we have representative districts, I would like to see the commission re-organize their workload. Should the commission members continue to ‘over-see’ or represent certain parts of the parks and programing, I would volunteer to see how this listing can be organized by districts at this point. In addition, I am passionate about the programs available for our community. However, to better serve our citizens and better meet the needs of the budget constraints, I would reach out to other entities who will also be under financial stress to be offer the types of programs our research highlights we should be offering. I would volunteer to understand if we can collaborate to form a better set of offerings and programs as well as use of spaces of other entities that impact our city’s residents. In addition, much of this commission’s charge over-laps with other commissions, I would like to implement a ‘master committee’ made up of representatives of the other commissions. This Master Committee can then better coordinate resources, timelines, outcomes that make for an innovative and more effective and higher quality outcomes.

In college I studied geology and have worked in the Commercial HVAC Construction market for over 20 years!

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.

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 have worked in the past to support my community through political outreach and would love the opportunity to work with the Animal Services Committee to support and educate the community on protecting and providing for our animals. I am a proud parent of a rescued pitbull and have so much compassion for animals that have been mistreated, as mine once was. It is often that I see lost dogs on 19th street and have pulled over to help them find their owner or a new safer home. I love my community and our animals and feel I could be of great use on the Animal Services Committee. 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 Nicole Dunger_Resume.docx I think it is pertinent that we support the local shelters in finding homes for the animals in our shelters, through community outreach and online engagement. The pandemic has left a number of pets homeless and individual families have had to let go of their pets in order to survive financially. If we can create an online campaign to promote adoption or even donations to local shelters this could improve the lives of the animals that have lost their homes.

I spend a lot of time in undergrad serving my community on campus and I miss that type of work. Additionally, I'm and avid animal lover and would enjoy being a part of a group that works for the animals in Costa Mesa.

Optional Resume Alyssa McKay Resume.pdf I think planning events or programs to educate the public on topics such as pet licensing, pet vaccinations, and the importance of spay and neuter would be a project I would enjoy, especially given the extra challenge of creating something that is COVID-safe and as contact-free as possible. I feel that this is especially important given the amount of people adopting pets while working at home. Additionally, as the pandemic (hopefully) calms down this year and people return to physical workplaces, its possible that people may find that taking care of a pet while not working at home much more challenging. I think it will important to find a way to educate or find resources for people so that these quarantine pets do not return to the shelters or are otherwise abandoned.

City of Costa Mesa Application for Committee/Commission Appointment All information on this page only, is considered public information and will be released to the public, including being posted on the City’s website. Name: ANGELA MINJARES Indicate the name of the Committee or Commission you are interested in serving on: City of Costa Mesa 77 Fair Drive, Costa Mesa, CA 92626 1. 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. 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). I am very honored and proud to say that I have served on the Costa Mesa Animal Services Committee for the past two years as an alternate. Although I am happy to say that we have accomplished all but one of the goals we set forth, there are several projects and initiatives where we've just scratched the surface. Having this experience as a committee member and helping lay the foundation for the committee, I have had the opportunity to have a firsthand look at the initiatives and projects that need our attention the most and could be feasibly accomplished. I have been fortunate enough to start working on initiatives and projects, and I would love the opportunity to further develop, build, and implement these projects to build a more solid and sustainable platform for the future of the Animal Services Committee to better serve the animals who depend on us to be their voice. Personally, I was the only committee member to attempt a fund raiser, I was one of few members who attended a number of community events throughout my term to promote animal adoptions and provide community education, I created an outline for a PSA explaining our three-prong animal shelter system, I created a detailed outline and set of goals to implement a future volunteer program, and most recently I rescued a stray dog from our street and was able to see our wonderful work in progress, following her journey from the street to the Orphanage to see a much happier and healthier dog than when we found her. Additionally, I have over 1 O years' experience in non-profit and I believe that provides me with a unique view on how to accomplish projects and meet our goals with limited funds and resources. Lastly, I am passionate about animals, their well-being, and giving a voice to those that cannot speak for themselves. We as humans have a responsibility to the animal community who have no choice but to depend on us to do right by them, and I take this responsibility very seriously. I have thoroughly enjoyed serving my community and been proud to be part of something greater than myself. I would love to be able to continue in this capacity as an Animal Services Committee member to give back and use my time positively to serve others, especially those animals that so greatly need our help. 2.

Name: Becca Walls Indicate the name of the Committee/Commission you are interested in serving on: Animal Services Committee Indicate why you wish to serve on this Committee/Commission. I have been serving on the Animal Service Committee since it began. I believe there is still work to be done and the committee would benefit from individuals who know the history of the committee as well as who have been active in the committee. I believe in our animal service system and am proud that Costa Mesa is a no kill city. I have been an animal advocate, rescuer, and volunteer for many years. I have had an active role on the ASC as the chair, making videos with the city, participating in numerous events, establishing contracts, fundraising, articles for the scoop, among other tasks. I am committed to continuing the animal service progress in Costa Mesa. In my own time I volunteer with animal rescues and research a variety of animal and rescue/sheltering related topics. I am an avid follower of Best Friends Animal Society who is the leader in the nation on animal education, legislation, and rescue. I believe that my experience on the committee and in my personal roles will help me to continue to be of service on the Animal Services Committee. 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? I would like to continue to pursue the legality of Trap Neuter Return within the city of Costa Mesa. This can be accomplished through a partnership with the city council and changing the ordinance to allow for the live release of animals within the city limits. This would legally allow rescue groups to trap primarily community cats, have them vetted, altered, and returned to the community. This would ultimately reduce to cost of kittens within our sheltering system, reduce unwanted litters and nuisance cats in the community. This would also reduce the unnecessary deaths of healthy but feral cats in Costa Mesa. I would like to continue to 2 provide community education opportunities such as animal safety, spay/neuter benefits, information on low cost veterinarian care, animal volunteer opportunities, etc. I would like to continue to promote animal related fun in Costa Mesa which brings our community together. I would like to continue events like the Barktober Fest, Spring Bark Bash, and lawn events at the library.

Read-Only Content All information on this page only is considered public information and will be released to the public, including being posted on the City's website. Name: Jay Litvak Indicate the name of the Committee/Commission you are interested in serving on: Animal Services Committee Indicate why you wish to serve on this Committee/Commission. Having served on the ASC from its inception, I bring a historical/institutional understanding of the Committee's original mission in addition to the knowledge base I was brought on for initially. Primarily, I want to see our CM Animal Shelter (Priceless Pets) continue as long as they are doing the good work for our City and our animal population. As with any Committee appointment, I hope to be selected on the basis of what I have accomplished on the ASC thus far and what it is believed I am able to accomplish over the coming Term. In lieu of a resume, I will briefly list my qualifications and explain their relevance. I am a retired (licensed) veterinarian which allows me to understand the medical, behavioral, and structural (housing, caging, handling, laws, etc.) needs required by animals. I was a in private practice where I treated dogs, cats, exotics (rabbits, rodents, birds, reptiles, amphibians), and wildlife. I worked in the field with wildlife veterinarians and conservation biologists, and I worked in zoo and wildlife park settings (Oklahoma City Zoo, Cambridge Animal Services, Ontario, Canada). Because the ASC is often asked to advise on matters of domestic and non- domestic animals, my previous experience is of benefit. In the past, I have had a good working relationship with Dr. Rizk and was able to act as an intermediary when discussing some of the more complex medical issues as they related to the ASC. I realize there will be some challenges in the form of turnover both on the ASC and on Costa Mesa City Council. As difficult as it was to get things done in the past, this discontinuity has the potential to be problematic--or, it could turn out better than before. Overall experience, previous experience on the ASC, the ability to work with a broad array of stakeholders: These are the reasons I can be of effective service on the ASC. 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? 2 (1) Maintaining Priceless Pets as Costa Mesa's animal shelter. (2) Continuing education programs for the population at large. (3) Work with existing groups that are already doing good work to provide animals and caretakers with needed items and services (e.g., food, blankets, kennels, volunteers, etc). (4) Continuing to be willing to discuss issues where our involvement has been murky (e.g., coyotes, TNR, Bark Park, etc). (5) Finding ways to keep animals healthy in the middle of a Pandemic from veterinary care to providing food for those who are in financial difficulty. (6) Continuing to make the fact that we finally have a Costa Mesa Animal Shelter (Priceless Pets) a point of pride for Costa Mesa residents. (7) Be willing to continue advancing our previous goals in addition to any new goals that are deemed relevant by the ASC.

Phone (cell): E-mail Address: Date: 1 GONZALEZ, GLADYS From:Linda Kwoun <linda.cmasc@gmail.com> Sent:Monday, January 25, 2021 12:35 PM To:CITY CLERK Subject:Application for Costa Mesa Animal Services Committee Hello, My name is Linda Kwoun. I submitted my application online again. But I am also sending it to this email address as well because I was informed my original application submitted weeks ago was not delivered because of some technical difficulties. We have wonderful technology but sometimes it fails us. LOL. My home address is 2203 Raleigh Ave, Costa Mesa, CA 92627. Thank you, Linda Kwoun Indicate why you wish to serve on this Committee/Commission. I am an animal welfare advocate for many years, and I would like to continue to serve on the Costa Mesa Animal Services Committee. I have been an active committee member the last three years, serving on the Animal Adoption Promotion subcommittee and the Bark Park/Special Events subcommittee. I regularly attended meetings and actively contributed in several ways. I submitted over half a dozen educational articles for our newsletter, “THE SCOOP”, contributed to city informational video, and submitted informative/educational hand-outs for Priceless Pets Rescue. With the help of other board members of the Costa Mesa Bark Park Foundation, I helped contact rescues and other participants for the City Barktoberfest and Spring Bark Bash Events (K-9 costume contest, dog adoption, local vendors events). I attended and represented our committee at different City events throughout the years, such as the Concerts in the Park, Priceless Pets Rescue events, and other pet adoption events. One of my most recent projects I promoted is to add a positive-reinforcement dog trainer in our City Recreation Guide. Before the pandemic, I also volunteered at the Priceless Pets Rescue as a dog trainer/behavior consultant and continue to promote the pets on a regular basis. I also offered first-time dog adopters and volunteers from Priceless Pets Rescue a free training session. In addition, before the pandemic, I volunteered as a dog trainer/behavior consultant for another rescue in Riverside. I am setting up a virtual platform and will resume my volunteer services. Outside of the Animal Services Committee, I have promoted animal welfare and shared my passion with others. I am a member of the Orange County Bar Association (OCBA) and have served on the Community Outreach Committee for many years. One of the projects I co-chair is to organize the OCBA volunteers for the annual Irvine Animal Care Center Super Pet Adoption events held in June as well as currently organizing a collection/donation drive for the Orange County Animal Care Center. I recently offered to host an Animal Law webinar for the OCBA members and currently working on the project. I have also organized volunteer projects at shelters for members of the Orange County Korean American Bar Association as well as my college alumni group. I am a longtime board member of the Costa Mesa Bark Park Foundation and work with the City to organize adoption events and disseminate information concerning dog welfare. I am a supporting member of the International Association of Animal Behavior Consultants and the Pet Professional Guild. Locally I am a member of Dog Trainers Alliance of Southern California, Force Free OC. Recently I became a member of an international dog trainers group, Empowered Dog, to share information and provide training tips to pet parents all over the world. I continue to educate myself on the best practice of dog training/behavior modification, as well as for ways to help educate shelters and rescues. It has been a pleasure working with the other committee members, City staff and City Council members. I believe I have more service, knowledge, and experience to share and contribute to the committee. I hope to be reappointed for a second term. As a Committee/Commission member, what ideas or projects are of interest to you? 2 1)I am proud of our newer shelter/rescue system for the animals of Costa Mesa. I would like to help our city continue to improve our system, continue to strive for best practices standard and become the organization that others will want to emulate. I ambitiously propose the following types of programs: play group programs, more extensive enrichment/socialization/habituation opportunities for the pets in our care, and classes for people/families who adopt a pet. 2)One of the ongoing committee projects I would like to see completed and implemented is the Trap, Neuter, Release (TNR) Program. 3)Another ongoing project I would like to complete is adding a positive-reinforcement dog trainer in our City Recreation Guide—virtual as well as in-person after the pandemic is under control. 4)I plan to continue writing and submitting articles that would be informational/educational for members of our community concerning animal care/welfare and related matters. 5)I plan to continue to contribute to more education/training videos produced by the City. 6)I would like to continue to help build alliances among local animal-friendly organizations/rescues, businesses, and city governments to promote common goals, such as to promote adoption and education.

I have worked in the past to support my community through political outreach and would love the opportunity to work with the Animal Services Committee to support and educate the community on protecting and providing for our animals. I am a proud parent of a rescued pitbull and have so much compassion for animals that have been mistreated, as mine once was. It is often that I see lost dogs on 19th street and have pulled over to help them find their owner or a new safer home. I love my community and our animals and feel I could be of great use on the Animal Services Committee. 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 Nicole Dunger_Resume.docx I think it is pertinent that we support the local shelters in finding homes for the animals in our shelters, through community outreach and online engagement. The pandemic has left a number of pets homeless and individual families have had to let go of their pets in order to survive financially. If we can create an online campaign to promote adoption or even donations to local shelters this could improve the lives of the animals that have lost their homes.

I spend a lot of time in undergrad serving my community on campus and I miss that type of work. Additionally, I'm and avid animal lover and would enjoy being a part of a group that works for the animals in Costa Mesa. These are the primary reasons why I'm interested in serving on the Animal Services Committee.

Optional Resume Alyssa McKay Resume.pdf I think planning events or programs to educate the public on topics such as pet licensing, pet vaccinations, and the importance of spay and neuter would be a project I would enjoy, especially given the extra challenge of creating something that is COVID-safe and as contact-free as possible. I feel that this is especially important given the amount of people adopting pets while working at home. Additionally, as the pandemic (hopefully) calms down this year and people return to physical workplaces, its possible that people may find that taking care of a pet while not working at home much more challenging. I think it will important to find a way to educate or find resources for people so that these quarantine pets do not return to the shelters or are otherwise abandoned.

City of Costa Mesa Application for Committee/Commission Appointment All information on this page only, is considered public information and will be released to the public, including being posted on the City’s website. Name: ANGELA MINJARES Indicate the name of the Committee or Commission you are interested in serving on: City of Costa Mesa 77 Fair Drive, Costa Mesa, CA 92626 1. 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. 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). I am very honored and proud to say that I have served on the Costa Mesa Animal Services Committee for the past two years as an alternate. Although I am happy to say that we have accomplished all but one of the goals we set forth, there are several projects and initiatives where we've just scratched the surface. Having this experience as a committee member and helping lay the foundation for the committee, I have had the opportunity to have a firsthand look at the initiatives and projects that need our attention the most and could be feasibly accomplished. I have been fortunate enough to start working on initiatives and projects, and I would love the opportunity to further develop, build, and implement these projects to build a more solid and sustainable platform for the future of the Animal Services Committee to better serve the animals who depend on us to be their voice. Personally, I was the only committee member to attempt a fund raiser, I was one of few members who attended a number of community events throughout my term to promote animal adoptions and provide community education, I created an outline for a PSA explaining our three-prong animal shelter system, I created a detailed outline and set of goals to implement a future volunteer program, and most recently I rescued a stray dog from our street and was able to see our wonderful work in progress, following her journey from the street to the Orphanage to see a much happier and healthier dog than when we found her. Additionally, I have over 1 O years' experience in non-profit and I believe that provides me with a unique view on how to accomplish projects and meet our goals with limited funds and resources. Lastly, I am passionate about animals, their well-being, and giving a voice to those that cannot speak for themselves. We as humans have a responsibility to the animal community who have no choice but to depend on us to do right by them, and I take this responsibility very seriously. I have thoroughly enjoyed serving my community and been proud to be part of something greater than myself. I would love to be able to continue in this capacity as an Animal Services Committee member to give back and use my time positively to serve others, especially those animals that so greatly need our help. 2.

Name: Becca Walls Indicate the name of the Committee/Commission you are interested in serving on: Animal Services Committee Indicate why you wish to serve on this Committee/Commission. I have been serving on the Animal Service Committee since it began. I believe there is still work to be done and the committee would benefit from individuals who know the history of the committee as well as who have been active in the committee. I believe in our animal service system and am proud that Costa Mesa is a no kill city. I have been an animal advocate, rescuer, and volunteer for many years. I have had an active role on the ASC as the chair, making videos with the city, participating in numerous events, establishing contracts, fundraising, articles for the scoop, among other tasks. I am committed to continuing the animal service progress in Costa Mesa. In my own time I volunteer with animal rescues and research a variety of animal and rescue/sheltering related topics. I am an avid follower of Best Friends Animal Society who is the leader in the nation on animal education, legislation, and rescue. I believe that my experience on the committee and in my personal roles will help me to continue to be of service on the Animal Services Committee. 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? I would like to continue to pursue the legality of Trap Neuter Return within the city of Costa Mesa. This can be accomplished through a partnership with the city council and changing the ordinance to allow for the live release of animals within the city limits. This would legally allow rescue groups to trap primarily community cats, have them vetted, altered, and returned to the community. This would ultimately reduce to cost of kittens within our sheltering system, reduce unwanted litters and nuisance cats in the community. This would also reduce the unnecessary deaths of healthy but feral cats in Costa Mesa. I would like to continue to 2 provide community education opportunities such as animal safety, spay/neuter benefits, information on low cost veterinarian care, animal volunteer opportunities, etc. I would like to continue to promote animal related fun in Costa Mesa which brings our community together. I would like to continue events like the Barktober Fest, Spring Bark Bash, and lawn events at the library.

Name: Jay Litvak Indicate the name of the Committee/Commission you are interested in serving on: Animal Services Committee Indicate why you wish to serve on this Committee/Commission. Having served on the ASC from its inception, I bring a historical/institutional understanding of the Committee's original mission in addition to the knowledge base I was brought on for initially. Primarily, I want to see our CM Animal Shelter (Priceless Pets) continue as long as they are doing the good work for our City and our animal population. As with any Committee appointment, I hope to be selected on the basis of what I have accomplished on the ASC thus far and what it is believed I am able to accomplish over the coming Term. In lieu of a resume, I will briefly list my qualifications and explain their relevance. I am a retired (licensed) veterinarian which allows me to understand the medical, behavioral, and structural (housing, caging, handling, laws, etc.) needs required by animals. I was a in private practice where I treated dogs, cats, exotics (rabbits, rodents, birds, reptiles, amphibians), and wildlife. I worked in the field with wildlife veterinarians and conservation biologists, and I worked in zoo and wildlife park settings (Oklahoma City Zoo, Cambridge Animal Services, Ontario, Canada). Because the ASC is often asked to advise on matters of domestic and non- domestic animals, my previous experience is of benefit. In the past, I have had a good working relationship with Dr. Rizk and was able to act as an intermediary when discussing some of the more complex medical issues as they related to the ASC. I realize there will be some challenges in the form of turnover both on the ASC and on Costa Mesa City Council. As difficult as it was to get things done in the past, this discontinuity has the potential to be problematic--or, it could turn out better than before. Overall experience, previous experience on the ASC, the ability to work with a broad array of stakeholders: These are the reasons I can be of effective service on the ASC. 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? 2 (1) Maintaining Priceless Pets as Costa Mesa's animal shelter. (2) Continuing education programs for the population at large. (3) Work with existing groups that are already doing good work to provide animals and caretakers with needed items and services (e.g., food, blankets, kennels, volunteers, etc). (4) Continuing to be willing to discuss issues where our involvement has been murky (e.g., coyotes, TNR, Bark Park, etc). (5) Finding ways to keep animals healthy in the middle of a Pandemic from veterinary care to providing food for those who are in financial difficulty. (6) Continuing to make the fact that we finally have a Costa Mesa Animal Shelter (Priceless Pets) a point of pride for Costa Mesa residents. (7) Be willing to continue advancing our previous goals in addition to any new goals that are deemed relevant by the ASC.

I submitted my application online again. But I am also sending it to this email address as well because I was informed my original application submitted weeks ago was not delivered because of some technical difficulties. We have wonderful technology but sometimes it fails us. LOL. My home address is 2203 Raleigh Ave, Costa Mesa, CA 92627. Thank you, Linda Kwoun Indicate why you wish to serve on this Committee/Commission. I am an animal welfare advocate for many years, and I would like to continue to serve on the Costa Mesa Animal Services Committee. I have been an active committee member the last three years, serving on the Animal Adoption Promotion subcommittee and the Bark Park/Special Events subcommittee. I regularly attended meetings and actively contributed in several ways. I submitted over half a dozen educational articles for our newsletter, “THE SCOOP”, contributed to city informational video, and submitted informative/educational hand-outs for Priceless Pets Rescue. With the help of other board members of the Costa Mesa Bark Park Foundation, I helped contact rescues and other participants for the City Barktoberfest and Spring Bark Bash Events (K-9 costume contest, dog adoption, local vendors events). I attended and represented our committee at different City events throughout the years, such as the Concerts in the Park, Priceless Pets Rescue events, and other pet adoption events. One of my most recent projects I promoted is to add a positive-reinforcement dog trainer in our City Recreation Guide. Before the pandemic, I also volunteered at the Priceless Pets Rescue as a dog trainer/behavior consultant and continue to promote the pets on a regular basis. I also offered first-time dog adopters and volunteers from Priceless Pets Rescue a free training session. In addition, before the pandemic, I volunteered as a dog trainer/behavior consultant for another rescue in Riverside. I am setting up a virtual platform and will resume my volunteer services. Outside of the Animal Services Committee, I have promoted animal welfare and shared my passion with others. I am a member of the Orange County Bar Association (OCBA) and have served on the Community Outreach Committee for many years. One of the projects I co-chair is to organize the OCBA volunteers for the annual Irvine Animal Care Center Super Pet Adoption events held in June as well as currently organizing a collection/donation drive for the Orange County Animal Care Center. I recently offered to host an Animal Law webinar for the OCBA members and currently working on the project. I have also organized volunteer projects at shelters for members of the Orange County Korean American Bar Association as well as my college alumni group. I am a longtime board member of the Costa Mesa Bark Park Foundation and work with the City to organize adoption events and disseminate information concerning dog welfare. I am a supporting member of the International Association of Animal Behavior Consultants and the Pet Professional Guild. Locally I am a member of Dog Trainers Alliance of Southern California, Force Free OC. Recently I became a member of an international dog trainers group, Empowered Dog, to share information and provide training tips to pet parents all over the world. I continue to educate myself on the best practice of dog training/behavior modification, as well as for ways to help educate shelters and rescues. It has been a pleasure working with the other committee members, City staff and City Council members. I believe I have more service, knowledge, and experience to share and contribute to the committee. I hope to be reappointed for a second term. As a Committee/Commission member, what ideas or projects are of interest to you? 2 1)I am proud of our newer shelter/rescue system for the animals of Costa Mesa. I would like to help our city continue to improve our system, continue to strive for best practices standard and become the organization that others will want to emulate. I ambitiously propose the following types of programs: play group programs, more extensive enrichment/socialization/habituation opportunities for the pets in our care, and classes for people/families who adopt a pet. 2)One of the ongoing committee projects I would like to see completed and implemented is the Trap, Neuter, Release (TNR) Program. 3)Another ongoing project I would like to complete is adding a positive-reinforcement dog trainer in our City Recreation Guide—virtual as well as in-person after the pandemic is under control. 4)I plan to continue writing and submitting articles that would be informational/educational for members of our community concerning animal care/welfare and related matters. 5)I plan to continue to contribute to more education/training videos produced by the City. 6)I would like to continue to help build alliances among local animal-friendly organizations/rescues, businesses, and city governments to promote common goals, such as to promote adoption and education.

As a Committee/Commission member, what ideas or projects are of interest to you? 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.

I have also attached my CV with this email. Please let me know if you need anything else. Kind regards, Adam Ereth 3034 Club House Rd. Costa Mesa, Ca 92626 Cell: 714:423-0578 Em: sandiegogeography@gmail.com 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. 3 Kind regards, Adam C.

Name: Cynthia McDonald Indicate the name of the Committee/Commission you are interested in serving on: Bikeway & Walkability Committee Indicate why you wish to serve on this Committee/Commission. I have been a member of the Bikeway and Walkability Committee (“BWC”) since its inception and have been the Chair since 2018. I am a long-time Costa Mesa resident and while I enjoy walking and cycling in Costa Mesa, I am well aware of the many challenges and impediments that cyclists and pedestrians encounter. In 2018 the City adopted an Active Transportation Plan (“ATP”). The ATP set goals and objectives for the City to encourage a shift in modes of transportation. Active transportation is not only a means of transportation and recreational activity, but it is also a boost to the local economy. 2020 was the biggest year for cycling in the US since 1973. Costa Mesa needs to capitalize on this boom by increasing the number of its bike lanes so our safety rating with associations, such as People for Bikes, will improve. Bicycle tourism and cycling events were moneymaking businesses before the pandemic and will continue to be so. Among the duties of the BWC is to review capital improvement projects. Cyclists and pedestrians see the world from a perspective that is vastly different from motorists and we often point out opportunities for improvements to City staff. Through my experience on this committee, I have acquired knowledge about street designs that enables me to look for critical elements of safety. Our participation in Walk-to-School and Bike-to-School events are an opportunity to witness good street design in action. My work with large and small companies has taught me ways to achieve success in group projects and how to collaborate with City staff, business owners, and residents. My contacts from participation in school, community, and City activities make it possible to engage more residents in the efforts to increase walking and cycling. 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? 2 2020 was a year of many challenges, but the BWC has continued to work on projects. We just started assisting a consultant with the Pedestrian Master Plan, which will augment the ATP. The BWC continues to work on the goals set forth in the ATP, such as achieving Silver Level Bicycle Friendly Community, Walk Friendly Community status and HEAL City designation. All of these designations can be used for advertising for tourism. Prior to the pandemic, the BWC was planning an open streets event, similar to CicLAvia, to engage the community in active transportation and encourage residents and visitors to be patrons of our local businesses. In addition to these projects, since walking is the most popular and easiest ways to exercise, I would like to map heart-healthy walking routes in each neighborhood. This would only involve signage, but it would encourage more people to find a trail to a healthy heart. I appreciate your consideration for reappointment to the BWC. I believe my knowledge, enthusiasm, and commitment to Costa Mesa would continue to serve its residents and businesses well.

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). Costa Mesa deserves an active transportation network that is safe for all users, accessible throughout all parts of the city, and that residents will want to use. Our current network is not as safe as I know it can be. Over the last few months, I’ve read news articles about cyclists struck by cars and I can only help but think, “What if that happens to me?” I want to serve on this Committee so that no one has this worry in the back of their head while they are biking or walking in our city. I want bike lanes that are protected from traffic by barriers and that reach the intersection. Sidewalks and bike lanes free from obstacles to be avoided by those who use them. I want to help make sure that our network is safe. There are many residents whose only option is to use active transportation. Residents who cannot afford the costs of owning a car, the elderly, students who cannot drive. They rely on an accessible network that takes them where they need to go. We need to make sure that our network is equitable for all users, that all areas of our city are available to bike or walk to safely. Our network will not be successful if we do not have residents that want to use it. If we continue to have news articles about the deaths on our streets, to have sidewalks that are difficult to navigate, to have bike lanes that are not safe, to have an active transportation network that residents are scared to use, we will not be successful. I want to help make certain that our network will be used by residents. 2. As a Committee/Commission member, what ideas or projects are of interest to you? Filling in “missing links” - I want to make sure that we have a complete network of sidewalks and bike lanes that connect where people are to where they need and want to go. Connecting existing infrastructure and creating methods for people to get across existing barriers is very important. Vision Zero - We CANNOT tolerate any more deaths on our streets. We CANNOT allow our infrastructure to be subpar. I want to help make sure that our streets are safe and that no deaths or injuries happen again.

City of Costa Mesa Application for Committee/Commission Appointment All information on this page only, is considered public information and will be released to the public, including being posted on the City’s website. Name: David Martinez Ibarra Indicate the name of the Committee or Commission you are interested in serving on: Bikeway and Walkability Committee City of Costa Mesa 77 Fair Drive, Costa Mesa, CA 92626 Page 1 of 3 Safe Routes to Schools/Parks - After having looked through the Bikeway & Walkability webpage, I found the “Suggested” Route to School maps. It seems that they haven’t been updated in 10 years and that the routes are not “Safe” but “Suggested.” From where I live to my local elementary school there is no “Suggested” route, much less a safe one. I want to update these maps not just on paper but with infrastructure making the routes safe for children to get to school. Public transit - Having active transportation infrastructure next to public transit stops and routes will help “last mile” problems and encourage use of not only our network but the county’s transit network as well. Having easy connections to public transit will be beneficial to all. Protected Bike Lanes - Bike lanes that have no protection have no deterrent to cars driving in them. On streets that have both bike lanes and on-street parking, we should have the bike lanes next to the curb, not in between the fast cars and the area where a driver might open their door. Where there isn’t on-street parking and there are bike lanes, as on many of our major arterials, cars are moving much faster than cyclists causing worry to would-be riders. Having protected bike lanes would be safer for all cyclists and encourage many to ride. Bike Racks - With all of our new cyclists encouraged by the protected bike lanes, they will need somewhere to leave their bikes. We should make sure that every public area and private business that requests them have bike racks. I’ve seen bikes locked to signs and fences and want to make sure that they have a proper place in the future. Street Improvements - I would like to see future street improvements before the Committee. Adams, it can be advocated, has a missing portion between Royal Palm and Harbor. The recent improvements on Bear were good, but I’m sure a detailed review by the Committee would have shown that heading southward toward Baker, it would be dangerous for a cyclist to cross a lane of traffic to get to the first bike box in the city, and that there was room for a protected bike lane. So while the improvements were good, I would like to see in-depth committee reviews for them to be great. Wayfinding Signage - Signage meant for pedestrians and cyclists in areas such as the Santa Ana River Trail, Joann Street Trail, and more, to locate points of interest and streets. Other cities already have this on their trails, and I would like to see Costa Mesa include it on ours. Parking/Streateries - While not directly related to walking or biking, parking is a big issue in this city which can be helped by increased cycling and walking to local destinations. Especially with the continuation of streateries, many will be encouraged to walk and bike to nearby restaurants. Community Bike Rides - In the future, when it is safe to do so, I hope that we can continue our rides throughout the city.

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. Erik W.

Optional Resume 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. Note: This contact information will not be posted on the City’s website or distributed to the public.

We all worked hard to develop, write and edit the City's Active Transportation Plan. In 2017, I reapplied to the committee and was appointed to a one-year term. Again, I was a regular and very active member. In 2019, I reapplied to the committee for a two-year term and, again, was appointed to work hard on behalf of pedestrians and cyclists in Costa Mesa. In early 2020, I reapplied for another term but have no idea if that application is still "valid," so am submitting this. I have lived and walked in all parts of Costa Mesa for the past 53 years. (I walk an average of 10 miles a week...for chores, shopping and recreation.) My husband, Joe, bikes everywhere, every day, for chores, shopping and recreation. The City is now developing a Pedestrian Master Plan...RIGHT UP MY ALLEY! In my 53 years as a Costa Mesa resident (eastside, westside and College Park), I have walked all parts of Costa Mesa---from Sunflower on the north, Fairview Park on the west, Back Bay on the east. I know the city like the back of my hand. As a past member of the Bikeway and Walkability Committee, I worked with the Walk Audit Subcommittee and participated in multiple walk audits. As a member of the Presentation subcommittee, I developed several presentations for City Council and for public meetings of the entire Bikeway and Walkability Committee. ( I even remember Mayor Foley's remark at that public meeting after I had presented the Powerpoint: "That's the best Powerpoint presentation I have ever seen.") .

Name: Richard Huffman Indicate the name of the Committee/Commission you are interested in serving on: Bikeway & Walkability Committee Historical Preservation Committee 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. 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? 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.

Name: Syed Zia Hussain Indicate the name of the Committee/Commission you are interested in serving on: Bikeway & Walkability Committee Housing & Public Service Grants Committee Parks, Arts and Community Services Commission Planning Commission Indicate why you wish to serve on this Committee/Commission. 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. Provide any experience or qualifications you may possess that you think would be beneficial to this Committee/Commission.

Optional Resume Resume-UP.docx As a Committee/Commission member, what ideas or projects are of interest to you? 2 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.

As a Committee/Commission member, what ideas or projects are of interest to you? Phone (cell): E-mail Address: Date: 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.

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. 3 Kind regards, Adam C.

Name: Cynthia McDonald Indicate the name of the Committee/Commission you are interested in serving on: Bikeway & Walkability Committee Indicate why you wish to serve on this Committee/Commission. I have been a member of the Bikeway and Walkability Committee (“BWC”) since its inception and have been the Chair since 2018. I am a long-time Costa Mesa resident and while I enjoy walking and cycling in Costa Mesa, I am well aware of the many challenges and impediments that cyclists and pedestrians encounter. In 2018 the City adopted an Active Transportation Plan (“ATP”). The ATP set goals and objectives for the City to encourage a shift in modes of transportation. Active transportation is not only a means of transportation and recreational activity, but it is also a boost to the local economy. 2020 was the biggest year for cycling in the US since 1973. Costa Mesa needs to capitalize on this boom by increasing the number of its bike lanes so our safety rating with associations, such as People for Bikes, will improve. Bicycle tourism and cycling events were moneymaking businesses before the pandemic and will continue to be so. Among the duties of the BWC is to review capital improvement projects. Cyclists and pedestrians see the world from a perspective that is vastly different from motorists and we often point out opportunities for improvements to City staff. Through my experience on this committee, I have acquired knowledge about street designs that enables me to look for critical elements of safety. Our participation in Walk-to-School and Bike-to-School events are an opportunity to witness good street design in action. My work with large and small companies has taught me ways to achieve success in group projects and how to collaborate with City staff, business owners, and residents. My contacts from participation in school, community, and City activities make it possible to engage more residents in the efforts to increase walking and cycling. 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? 2 2020 was a year of many challenges, but the BWC has continued to work on projects. We just started assisting a consultant with the Pedestrian Master Plan, which will augment the ATP. The BWC continues to work on the goals set forth in the ATP, such as achieving Silver Level Bicycle Friendly Community, Walk Friendly Community status and HEAL City designation. All of these designations can be used for advertising for tourism. Prior to the pandemic, the BWC was planning an open streets event, similar to CicLAvia, to engage the community in active transportation and encourage residents and visitors to be patrons of our local businesses. In addition to these projects, since walking is the most popular and easiest ways to exercise, I would like to map heart-healthy walking routes in each neighborhood. This would only involve signage, but it would encourage more people to find a trail to a healthy heart. I appreciate your consideration for reappointment to the BWC. I believe my knowledge, enthusiasm, and commitment to Costa Mesa would continue to serve its residents and businesses well.

However, this information is still subject to release pursuant to the California Public Records Act. 1. 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. 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). Costa Mesa deserves an active transportation network that is safe for all users, accessible throughout all parts of the city, and that residents will want to use. Our current network is not as safe as I know it can be. Over the last few months, I’ve read news articles about cyclists struck by cars and I can only help but think, “What if that happens to me?” I want to serve on this Committee so that no one has this worry in the back of their head while they are biking or walking in our city. I want bike lanes that are protected from traffic by barriers and that reach the intersection. Sidewalks and bike lanes free from obstacles to be avoided by those who use them. I want to help make sure that our network is safe. There are many residents whose only option is to use active transportation. Residents who cannot afford the costs of owning a car, the elderly, students who cannot drive. They rely on an accessible network that takes them where they need to go. We need to make sure that our network is equitable for all users, that all areas of our city are available to bike or walk to safely. Our network will not be successful if we do not have residents that want to use it. If we continue to have news articles about the deaths on our streets, to have sidewalks that are difficult to navigate, to have bike lanes that are not safe, to have an active transportation network that residents are scared to use, we will not be successful. I want to help make certain that our network will be used by residents. 2. As a Committee/Commission member, what ideas or projects are of interest to you? Filling in “missing links” - I want to make sure that we have a complete network of sidewalks and bike lanes that connect where people are to where they need and want to go. Connecting existing infrastructure and creating methods for people to get across existing barriers is very important. Vision Zero - We CANNOT tolerate any more deaths on our streets. We CANNOT allow our infrastructure to be subpar. I want to help make sure that our streets are safe and that no deaths or injuries happen again.

City of Costa Mesa Application for Committee/Commission Appointment All information on this page only, is considered public information and will be released to the public, including being posted on the City’s website. Name: David Martinez Ibarra Indicate the name of the Committee or Commission you are interested in serving on: Bikeway and Walkability Committee City of Costa Mesa 77 Fair Drive, Costa Mesa, CA 92626 Page 1 of 3 Safe Routes to Schools/Parks - After having looked through the Bikeway & Walkability webpage, I found the “Suggested” Route to School maps. It seems that they haven’t been updated in 10 years and that the routes are not “Safe” but “Suggested.” From where I live to my local elementary school there is no “Suggested” route, much less a safe one. I want to update these maps not just on paper but with infrastructure making the routes safe for children to get to school. Public transit - Having active transportation infrastructure next to public transit stops and routes will help “last mile” problems and encourage use of not only our network but the county’s transit network as well. Having easy connections to public transit will be beneficial to all. Protected Bike Lanes - Bike lanes that have no protection have no deterrent to cars driving in them. On streets that have both bike lanes and on-street parking, we should have the bike lanes next to the curb, not in between the fast cars and the area where a driver might open their door. Where there isn’t on-street parking and there are bike lanes, as on many of our major arterials, cars are moving much faster than cyclists causing worry to would-be riders. Having protected bike lanes would be safer for all cyclists and encourage many to ride. Bike Racks - With all of our new cyclists encouraged by the protected bike lanes, they will need somewhere to leave their bikes. We should make sure that every public area and private business that requests them have bike racks. I’ve seen bikes locked to signs and fences and want to make sure that they have a proper place in the future. Street Improvements - I would like to see future street improvements before the Committee. Adams, it can be advocated, has a missing portion between Royal Palm and Harbor. The recent improvements on Bear were good, but I’m sure a detailed review by the Committee would have shown that heading southward toward Baker, it would be dangerous for a cyclist to cross a lane of traffic to get to the first bike box in the city, and that there was room for a protected bike lane. So while the improvements were good, I would like to see in-depth committee reviews for them to be great. Wayfinding Signage - Signage meant for pedestrians and cyclists in areas such as the Santa Ana River Trail, Joann Street Trail, and more, to locate points of interest and streets. Other cities already have this on their trails, and I would like to see Costa Mesa include it on ours. Parking/Streateries - While not directly related to walking or biking, parking is a big issue in this city which can be helped by increased cycling and walking to local destinations. Especially with the continuation of streateries, many will be encouraged to walk and bike to nearby restaurants. Community Bike Rides - In the future, when it is safe to do so, I hope that we can continue our rides throughout the city.

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. Erik W. Roberts 2 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 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. Note: This contact information will not be posted on the City’s website or distributed to the public.

As a Committee/Commission member, what ideas or projects are of interest to you? FLORENCE N. MARTI8N BIKEWAY AND WALKABILITY COMMITTEE Mayor Katrina Foley appointed me to the "original" Bikeway and Walkability Committe in 2015. I was an active member on several subcommittees as well. We all worked hard to develop, write and edit the City's Active Transportation Plan. In 2017, I reapplied to the committee and was appointed to a one-year term. Again, I was a regular and very active member. In 2019, I reapplied to the committee for a two-year term and, again, was appointed to work hard on behalf of pedestrians and cyclists in Costa Mesa. In early 2020, I reapplied for another term but have no idea if that application is still "valid," so am submitting this. I have lived and walked in all parts of Costa Mesa for the past 53 years. (I walk an average of 10 miles a week...for chores, shopping and recreation.) My husband, Joe, bikes everywhere, every day, for chores, shopping and recreation. The City is now developing a Pedestrian Master Plan...RIGHT UP MY ALLEY! In my 53 years as a Costa Mesa resident (eastside, westside and College Park), I have walked all parts of Costa Mesa---from Sunflower on the north, Fairview Park on the west, Back Bay on the east.

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.

Optional Resume 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.

Name: Syed Zia Hussain Indicate the name of the Committee/Commission you are interested in serving on: Bikeway & Walkability Committee Housing & Public Service Grants Committee Parks, Arts and Community Services Commission Planning Commission Indicate why you wish to serve on this Committee/Commission. 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. Provide any experience or qualifications you may possess that you think would be beneficial to this Committee/Commission.

Optional Resume Resume-UP.docx As a Committee/Commission member, what ideas or projects are of interest to you? 2 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 have also attached my CV with this email. Please let me know if you need anything else. Kind regards, Adam Ereth 3034 Club House Rd. Costa Mesa, Ca 92626 Cell: 714:423-0578 Em: sandiegogeography@gmail.com 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. 3 Kind regards, Adam C.

Name: Anthony Manrique Indicate the name of the Committee/Commission you are interested in serving on: Cultural Arts Committee Indicate why you wish to serve on this Committee/Commission. I have had the pleasure of working in Costa Mesa since 1981 and living in Costa Mesa since 1995. Throughout my life I have had a passion for the arts, and as the executive director of The All-American Boys Chorus I had the opportunity to put that passion to work for the benefit of our choristers and also for the benefit of our community. Costa Mesa is the cultural center of Orange County; with the marvelous Segerstrom Center for the Performing Arts, South Coast Repertory Theater, and many outstanding galleries and studios in our midst. In 25 years as CEO of The All-American Boys Chorus I developed, produced, and directed many events related to the performing arts (concerts, tours, festivals), and brought about collaborations with the Pacific Symphony, Orange County Women's Chorus, Pacific Chorale, Orange County Symphony, Orange County Fair and OC Fair lmaginology, Arts Orange County, the Festival of Children, and the Orange County Department of Education. I helped develop and implement music outreach educational programs, which were implemented locally and throughout the United States on over 34 concert tours and which served over 65,000 children since 1995. I was appointed to a committee that was jointly created by the Western Fairs Association and the California Arts Council to explore ways to bring more of the arts into county fairs throughout California as a means of increasing public awareness of the arts. I studied piano for 12 years and played in the National Guild of Music Teachers piano adjudications for 8 years as well as the Certificate of Merit program. I was also one of the accompanists for The All-American Boys Chorus. Now that I am semi-retired, I can devote more time to some of the committee's ongoing projects, especially our annual ARTVenture, for which I served on the steering sub-committee three times, and on our grants program, which I helped establish. 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? 2 As the "City of the Arts" it is important for Costa Mesa to continue to cultivate and foster a love for the arts among our citizens, and especially our youth. This goal is best accomplished by increasing awareness of, accessibility to, and participation in the performing and visual arts via a broad spectrum of programs and events at the local level. I greatly enjoy being a member of the Cultural Arts Committee, and I would be honored to continue working on further developing the many arts-related programs in Costa Mesa, and especially to work with the members of the committee on developing and implementing the city’s Cultural Master Plan, expanding our arts grant program, as well as continuing to explore and create new avenues and methods of bringing the arts to more residents of Costa Mesa; such as our very successful ARTVenture -- a fusion of arts and entertainment - held in collaboration with the Segerstrom Center for the Arts for the past two years.

Name: Arelly Ocampo Indicate the name of the Committee/Commission you are interested in serving on: Cultural Arts Committee Indicate why you wish to serve on this Committee/Commission. As a first-generation college graduate, whose personal and professional experiences are rooted in community, I wish to serve on Cultural Arts Committee to be a part of the decision-making committee that gives access to the arts by establishing programs and events. Growing up I had some exposure to the events put on by the City from my involvement at Estancia High School, Save Our Youth, Girls Incorporated of Orange County, and the Costa Mesa Police Explorers. My personal goal while on the committee is to think of ways to give more equitable access to community members of the Westside area. Through my experience as an Orientation Board member for Cal Poly San Luis Obispo’s New Student and Transition Program coupled with my role as Secretary of Diversity and Inclusion for Associated Student Government, I have acquired a high level ability in innovative visioning and people first decision making. As an Orientation Board member, I led, planned and executed a week-long orientation for 400+ underrepresented incoming students. In addition, I marketed, recruited, and established an alumni specifically for underrepresented students to continue their involvement with the program. As the Secretary of Diversity and Inclusion, I worked closely with the ASI President to develop events and resolutions for campus-wide initiatives, served on the Social Justice Program Funding committee where we managed a $14,000 budget for club funding, and personally managed a $7,000 fund for clubs, organizations and departments to use for diversity, equity, and inclusion work. Through these roles, I have acquired a high-level ability in innovative visioning and people first decision making. My educational experience has provided me with a wholesome set of skills in project planning, people managing, and civic responsibility. I bring these skills to committee as well as a love for our city and its people. 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? 2 Art is a huge part of cultural identity and thus is important for youth, especially from lower income communities, to see their art be represented and appreciated within the City. As a Save Our Youth (SOY) Alumni, I appreciate the partnership that currently exist with the Cultural Arts committee. The Youth Art Gallery is a project that interests me as it features the art of our local youth. As a Committee member, I hope to strengthen the partnerships that currently exist with our local youth serving organizations. Costa Mesa is a diverse city with many cultural events that need financial help. The Cultural Arts Committee Grant Program interest me because we can assist local organizations who otherwise may not have brought their idea to life. As we are amid a global pandemic, I imagine projects for the Cultural Arts Committee may look different. I am looking forward to collaborating and thinking of new innovative ways to continuing engaging Costa Mesa residents into the arts.

Name: Matthew Sheehan Indicate the name of the Committee/Commission you are interested in serving on: 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. 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 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.

I recently went back to school and obtained my Associate of Arts Degree in Studio Arts with Transfer. I also hold an Associate of Arts Degree in Liberal Studies. (both from Orange Coast College) My goal for this next chapter of my life is to immerse myself in the arts not only for myself but in a volunteer capacity as well. I have extensive volunteer experience in a variety of areas. As a former educator I also have a vast amount of expertise with organization, leadership, mentorship, communication and team work. My teaching career provided me with the opportunity not only to work with children and their families but adult students and employees as well. The opportunity to serve on the Cultural Arts Committee would provide me experiences to utilize my personal talents as well as become a part of the rich artistic history of Costa Mesa, interface with local fellow artists and the programs that support art in our community. Meeting new people and embarking on new adventures in this capacity would truly be a gift I would love to embrace! Thank you so much for your time and consideration.

Name: Nora Pullen Indicate the name of the Committee/Commission you are interested in serving on: Cultural Arts Committee Fairview Park Steering Committee Historical Preservation Committee Parks, Arts and Community Services Commission 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 have a great passion for the arts (visual, performing, literary, and more) and for ensuring that they are accessible and available to all. I strongly believe that art programs should be created by all people, for all people, and represent all people. Before moving here to live with my partner, I was the Executive Director of Del Norte County's arts council.

I am interested in what programs we can offer while still recovering from the pandemic.

Even though I come from a very rural area, I developed new programs (Contra Dances, Poetry Out Loud) and built on the 5 existing programs (Art in Public Places, Performance Series, Arts in Education, Arts in Corrections, Art for Veterans) that our arts council ran and I believe I will offer great new perspective for Costa Mesa. I am especially interested in the partnerships that can improve the arts experiences our community enjoys.

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. 3 Kind regards, Adam C.

Name: Anthony Manrique Indicate the name of the Committee/Commission you are interested in serving on: Cultural Arts Committee Indicate why you wish to serve on this Committee/Commission. I have had the pleasure of working in Costa Mesa since 1981 and living in Costa Mesa since 1995. Throughout my life I have had a passion for the arts, and as the executive director of The All-American Boys Chorus I had the opportunity to put that passion to work for the benefit of our choristers and also for the benefit of our community. Costa Mesa is the cultural center of Orange County; with the marvelous Segerstrom Center for the Performing Arts, South Coast Repertory Theater, and many outstanding galleries and studios in our midst. In 25 years as CEO of The All-American Boys Chorus I developed, produced, and directed many events related to the performing arts (concerts, tours, festivals), and brought about collaborations with the Pacific Symphony, Orange County Women's Chorus, Pacific Chorale, Orange County Symphony, Orange County Fair and OC Fair lmaginology, Arts Orange County, the Festival of Children, and the Orange County Department of Education. I helped develop and implement music outreach educational programs, which were implemented locally and throughout the United States on over 34 concert tours and which served over 65,000 children since 1995. I was appointed to a committee that was jointly created by the Western Fairs Association and the California Arts Council to explore ways to bring more of the arts into county fairs throughout California as a means of increasing public awareness of the arts. I studied piano for 12 years and played in the National Guild of Music Teachers piano adjudications for 8 years as well as the Certificate of Merit program. I was also one of the accompanists for The All-American Boys Chorus. Now that I am semi-retired, I can devote more time to some of the committee's ongoing projects, especially our annual ARTVenture, for which I served on the steering sub-committee three times, and on our grants program, which I helped establish.

Optional Resume As a Committee/Commission member, what ideas or projects are of interest to you? 2 As the "City of the Arts" it is important for Costa Mesa to continue to cultivate and foster a love for the arts among our citizens, and especially our youth. This goal is best accomplished by increasing awareness of, accessibility to, and participation in the performing and visual arts via a broad spectrum of programs and events at the local level. I greatly enjoy being a member of the Cultural Arts Committee, and I would be honored to continue working on further developing the many arts-related programs in Costa Mesa, and especially to work with the members of the committee on developing and implementing the city’s Cultural Master Plan, expanding our arts grant program, as well as continuing to explore and create new avenues and methods of bringing the arts to more residents of Costa Mesa; such as our very successful ARTVenture -- a fusion of arts and entertainment - held in collaboration with the Segerstrom Center for the Arts for the past two years.

Name: Arelly Ocampo Indicate the name of the Committee/Commission you are interested in serving on: Cultural Arts Committee Indicate why you wish to serve on this Committee/Commission. As a first-generation college graduate, whose personal and professional experiences are rooted in community, I wish to serve on Cultural Arts Committee to be a part of the decision-making committee that gives access to the arts by establishing programs and events. Growing up I had some exposure to the events put on by the City from my involvement at Estancia High School, Save Our Youth, Girls Incorporated of Orange County, and the Costa Mesa Police Explorers. My personal goal while on the committee is to think of ways to give more equitable access to community members of the Westside area. Through my experience as an Orientation Board member for Cal Poly San Luis Obispo’s New Student and Transition Program coupled with my role as Secretary of Diversity and Inclusion for Associated Student Government, I have acquired a high level ability in innovative visioning and people first decision making. As an Orientation Board member, I led, planned and executed a week-long orientation for 400+ underrepresented incoming students. In addition, I marketed, recruited, and established an alumni specifically for underrepresented students to continue their involvement with the program. As the Secretary of Diversity and Inclusion, I worked closely with the ASI President to develop events and resolutions for campus-wide initiatives, served on the Social Justice Program Funding committee where we managed a $14,000 budget for club funding, and personally managed a $7,000 fund for clubs, organizations and departments to use for diversity, equity, and inclusion work. Through these roles, I have acquired a high-level ability in innovative visioning and people first decision making. My educational experience has provided me with a wholesome set of skills in project planning, people managing, and civic responsibility. I bring these skills to committee as well as a love for our city and its people.

Optional Resume As a Committee/Commission member, what ideas or projects are of interest to you? 2 Art is a huge part of cultural identity and thus is important for youth, especially from lower income communities, to see their art be represented and appreciated within the City. As a Save Our Youth (SOY) Alumni, I appreciate the partnership that currently exist with the Cultural Arts committee. The Youth Art Gallery is a project that interests me as it features the art of our local youth. As a Committee member, I hope to strengthen the partnerships that currently exist with our local youth serving organizations. Costa Mesa is a diverse city with many cultural events that need financial help. The Cultural Arts Committee Grant Program interest me because we can assist local organizations who otherwise may not have brought their idea to life. As we are amid a global pandemic, I imagine projects for the Cultural Arts Committee may look different. I am looking forward to collaborating and thinking of new innovative ways to continuing engaging Costa Mesa residents into the arts.

Name: Matthew Sheehan Indicate the name of the Committee/Commission you are interested in serving on: 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. 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 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.

I recently went back to school and obtained my Associate of Arts Degree in Studio Arts with Transfer. I also hold an Associate of Arts Degree in Liberal Studies.

My teaching career provided me with the opportunity not only to work with children and their families but adult students and employees as well. The opportunity to serve on the Cultural Arts Committee would provide me experiences to utilize my personal talents as well as become a part of the rich artistic history of Costa Mesa, interface with local fellow artists and the programs that support art in our community.

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 feel like we have accomplished a lot, and want to continue our projection. I'm also interested in the Parks, Arts, and Community Services Commission. I have attended dozens of parks and recs meetings here in Costa Mesa as an advocate for the skatepark, and I regularly use parks and facilities in the city.

We revised the classic Arts in the Parks event, and it was a successful adaptation that even got bigger the second year. Artventure also continues to get bigger and bigger. For the commission, I'd be interested in exploring additions, expansions, or a sister skatepark in the city. I'd also like to see more public spaces for art.

As a 20 year resident of Costa Mesa, I have seen this beautiful city grow and progress in so many ways and I would love to be some small part of that. Although I do not have experience organizing large events, through my creative ideas and energy I believe I can be a strong asset to the Cultural Arts Committee . Art, photography and outside activities (hiking) are my passion. These passions can be combined to create and organize events for our community. During this pandemic we face so many challenges, we can unite and heal our community through cre ativity. 2. As a Committee/Commission member, what ideas or projects are of interest to you? As a committee/commision member, I would plan events to invite Costa Mesa residents to come outside, walk and enjoy nature, along with paintout and photography activities. As a long time customer of the Art Warehouse in Westminster I can find a way to gain sponsorship or cover some costs of materials myself ( for t hose interested in painting.)

Name: Stephanie Wenning Indicate the name of the Committee/Commission you are interested in serving on: Cultural Arts Committee Indicate why you wish to serve on this Committee/Commission. I have a great passion for the arts (visual, performing, literary, and more) and for ensuring that they are accessible and available to all. I strongly believe that art programs should be created by all people, for all people, and represent all people. Before moving here to live with my partner, I was the Executive Director of Del Norte County's arts council. While I love my current job and the city of Costa Mesa, I do miss being involved in the community arts programs and wish to serve my now home. Additionally, while my skills and experience mainly lie in administrative work, I also enjoy painting, sketching, and rendering.

Optional Resume Wenning-Resume as of May 2020.pdf As a Committee/Commission member, what ideas or projects are of interest to you? I am interested in what programs we can offer while still recovering from the pandemic. I am honestly not aware of what is already offered and would love to learn more in order to contribute new ideas. Even though I come from a very rural area, I developed new programs (Contra Dances, Poetry Out Loud) and built on the 5 existing programs (Art in Public Places, Performance Series, Arts in Education, Arts in Corrections, Art for Veterans) that our arts council ran and I believe I will offer great new perspective for Costa Mesa. I am especially interested in the partnerships that can improve the arts experiences our community enjoys.
