TOPIC: PARK AND RECREATION COMMISSION INTERVIEWS

YEAR TERMS TO THE END OF OCTOBER 2023 AND ONE UNEXPIRED FOUR-YEAR

unexpired four-year term on the Park and Recreation Commission, with terms to expire October 31, 2023

BACKGROUND:
At the meeting of August 5, 2019, the City Council called for applications for the Park and Recreation
Commission to fill two four-year terms to the end of October 2023 and one unexpired four-year term to
the end of May 2022 due to the expiration of terms of Mark Bustillos and Mark Machado, and the
resignation of Nicholas Skewes-Cox. Nine (9) applications were received in the City Clerk’s Office by the
deadline of Tuesday, August 27, 2019 and incumbent Mark Bustillos did not reapply. Due to the volume
of applications received, a subcommittee of the City Council carried out an initial review of the nine
applications and selected six to be interviewed by the full City Council. However, one applicant withdrew
her application. If the City Council decides to appoint an alternate incumbent to a full-member term, it
would create an additional vacancy on the Park and Recreation Commission and the City Council has
the authority to appoint another applicant to fill that vacancy.

Why are you interested in serving on a board or commission?
I am interested in serving on the Park and Rec Commission because as a parent, I want to see a thriving
and active Park and Rec department in San Rafael, and as a professional in the field of recreation, I think
I could be add value to the commission. I am a (nearly) lifelong resident of San Rafael. I attended Sun
Valley Elementary, Davidson Middle School and San Rafael High School. At SRHS I was an active
member of ASB, including a year spent as the Student Member of the San Rafael School Board. After
college and 8 years in San Francisco, my husband and I moved to San Rafael because we wanted to
raise our family in a diverse and tight-knit community. San Rafael has not disappointed. We've enjoyed
countless hours exploring the City, walking downtown for Farmer's Markets, watching the Pacifics play
and enjoying the parks and open space. We spend our days jetting from school to sports to activities and
have been so happy to see the community thrive. Our children are now 5 and 8 and attending Sun Valley
where I serve as the Volunteer Coordinator for the PTO as well as spending two years as a Grade Level
Representative and as an in-classroom volunteer. I am a big believer in giving back to one's community
through volunteerism as it is critical to building and maintaining a community that serves all. I look forward
to expanding my scope of volunteerism as the kids head out to Davidson and SRHS in the future. This is
what drives me to seek a position on the Park and Rec Commission; I am invested in San Rafael and I
want to give my time and energy to renew that investment. I understand that the challenges facing the
department today run the gamut: budget concerns, modernization, diverse populations, to name a few. I
believe that I could help navigate these challenges and offer fresh perspective. Professionally, I have
managed a recreation facility as the General Manager for nearly 10 years. This experience gives me a
unique perspective as an end of the line decision maker and someone deeply involved in the day to day
management of a recreational facility. I have extensive knowledge of long-term budgeting and planning,
facilitate decisions balancing multiple groups of interested parties, manage a direct staff of seven and a
total staff of 35-90 (seasonally), and work to balance the needs of the business with the desires of the
users. Further, I have experience in large projects as I managed a multi-year $5 million remodel, replacing
an aging pool, remodeling our club house, and creating new social spaces for our families. It is such a
treasure for a community to have a thriving Park and Rec department. The opportunities offered by park
and rec to families, aging seniors and everyone in between, is one of the most important ways in which a
community stays happy and healthy. In addition to the ongoing important work of providing park and rec
opportunities for the public, the department is experiencing a handful of exciting opportunities to make an
impact on our community such as the contributions to the General Plan 2040, the merge with library
services and much more. I believe that I could be a valuable asset to a well-balanced and involved Park
and Rec Commission, and sincerely hope that I will be considered for the position. Thank you for your
time.

Why are you interested in serving on a board or commission?
There are many reasons. I have served as an alternate for the last several years and would like to be a
voting member. I am ultimately interested in helping in any way to shape San Rafael as a thriving,
welcoming and healthy community. As a long term Marin resident, parent of two school age children who
go to Coleman and use the childcare and the parks, I understand the strengths and challenges for the City
in these areas. I can serve as a liaison between the City and the County in areas of shared interest and
concern. I think we can improve partnerships between government. The built environment has
tremendous impact on public health, it is the spaces where people live, work, lean, and play that influence
health more than what happens in the doctor's office. I can help bring the public health lens to the work.
For example, things like mixed use agreements, park improvement plans, complete streets plans, etc. all
increase access to physical activity which influences obesity rates. I am pleased to hear about plans for a
specific park and rec plan. I would like to advocate for more "data-driven" planning with specific outcomes
and metrics that are charted overtime. It have really enjoyed learning more about how City government
works. Thanks for your consideration.
