TOPIC: PICKLEWEED ADVISORY COMMITTEE APPOINTMENT
SUBJECT: APPROVE APPOINTMENT OF MIGUEL HAU-GUTIERREZ TO THE

RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Approve appointment of Miguel Hau-Gutierrez to the Pickleweed Advisory Committee as a
youth member to the end of December 2024.
BACKGROUND:
In June 2021, the San Rafael City Clerk’s Office called for applications to fill one unexpired four-
year term on the Pickleweed Advisory Committee. The recruitment was for one member who
resides in the Canal neighborhood and the City Council expressed a desire to have it filled by a
youth member. The deadline for applications was left open until filled, and the City Clerk’s office
received one application.
The Pickleweed Advisory Committee provides valuable input in representing and advocating for
the Canal area resident’s needs and wishes for programs and services; and is a primary public
networking resource between the Canal residents, representatives from governmental and non-
profit agencies, and others. The Pickleweed Advisory Committee works in conjunction with the
City of San Rafael. Meetings are held on the first Wednesday of the month at the Albert J. Boro
Community Center in Meeting Room 3; however, due to COVID-19 the Pickleweed Advisory
Committee is meeting virtually until meetings will resume in-person.
ANALYSIS:
On January 10, 2022, Mayor Kate, Councilmember Llorens Gulati and Pickleweed Advisory
Committee staff liaison Steve Mason conducted an interview of Miguel Hau-Gutierrez and
recommended his appointment be approved by the City Council.
FISCAL IMPACT: There is no fiscal impact associated with this action.
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve appointment of Miguel Hau-Gutierrez to the Pickleweed Advisory Committee as a
youth member to the end of December 2024.

Q9
Do you participate in any civic activities? If so, what are they?
Summer 2021, I volunteered for DoveTail Learning in the We Are Resilient Teen Internship. This internship focuses on youth helping
adapt highly regarded adult mental health materials to be more accessible and engaging for my teen peers as a way to help them
manage stress and anxiety. This materials are free for any individual or high school classroom online.
Q10
List any civic organizations of which you are a member:
Non-profit DoveTail Learning
Q11
Education:
Terra Linda High School in San Rafael City Schools
Q12
Why are you interested in serving on a board or commission?
I want to give back to my community. My parents immigrated to this country 30 years ago and have lived in the Canal for 25 years. I
am the youngest in my family and my 3 older siblings all grew up in the Canal. I have heard about their experience living on different
streets in the Canal, attending schools here and participating in programs at pickleweed park. I also have learned what a community of
different generations of people of color love the most about the Canal and what they wish could be better. Summer 2020, my dad
passed away from Covid-19. I have seen how the pandemic has hurt my family, friends and neighbors in the Canal. My parents have
told me the importance of helping your community and I think representing my community and youth like me is a good way to help. I
am working hard in high school to go to a good college and come back to keep helping my community after.
