BACKGROUND:
The Planning Commission consists of community volunteers appointed by the City
Council to make decisions or advise the Council on land use and property development
issues. The Commission assures that new development is consistent with the City’s long-
range General Plan, State laws, and other public policies that advance the interests of
our community. Meetings are held on the second & fourth Tuesdays at 7:00 p.m.
SAN RAFAEL CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT / Page: 2
The terms of Shingai Samudzi and Kelly Shalk are set to expire at the end of October
2023. Shingai Samudzi expressed a desire to submit an application to serve as the District
3 representative, and Kelly Shalk did not wish to reapply.
In June 2022, the City Council approved staff’s recommendation to change the
composition of the Planning Commission to include District Representatives and recruit
for seats that would not unintentionally deem incumbents as ineligible to reapply.
Commissioner Samudzi resides in District 3, and Commissioner Shalk resides in District
2, so the City Clerk’s office recruited Districts 2 and 3 applicants for this round of
appointments.
ANALYSIS:
The City Clerk’s office opened recruitment and left applications for all boards,
commissions, and committees (BCCs) open, including the Planning Commission. The
City Clerk’s office received a total of seven eligible applications for the two vacancies,
and one of the applicants withdrew. Three (3) applications were submitted for District 2,
and three (3) applications were submitted for District 3.
If an at-large Planning Commissioner who resides in District 2 or 3 applies to serve as the
District Representative and is appointed, the City Clerk’s office would recruit an at-large
Planning Commissioner and schedule a special City Council meeting for interviews and
appointment.
Staff recommends the City Council interview the six applicants and make one District 2
Representative appointment and one District 3 Representative appointment with terms to
expire at the end of October 2027 on the Planning Commission.
FISCAL IMPACT: There is no fiscal impact associated with this item.
COMMUNITY OUTREACH:
The recruitment for the Planning Commission was advertised through mass email
notification, the City website, social media platforms, the Marin IJ, and physically posted
at City facilities.

Q10
Do you participate in any civic activities? If so, what are they?
I have a history of supporting varied activities in Upstate New York community before moving to San Rafael. I oversaw a grant budget
of $300,000 for non-profit organizations in upstate New York from 2018 to 2021. This provided support to organizations across 3
counties in Update New York. I partnered with multiple community colleges and high schools to build career pipeline for students and
bring new technology into schools, partnered with Court Appointed Special Advocates to provide them with IT resources. I also
assisted Salvation Army in writing a grant for $150,000 to build a new Domestic Violence Shelter, etc. I would be happy to share more
information on my experience.

Q13
Why are you interested in serving on a board or commission?
Before moving to San Rafael, I was living in the PA/Upstate NY area for 3 years and was greatly involved in making an impact in that
community. Upstate NY was heavily suffering from the opioid crisis and I was working to provide much needed education, support and
safety to it's youth and women. I bring a varied skillset to the table given my professional background and I like to utilize it to impact
the community I live in. I moved to San Rafael in February of 2021 and saw the impact COVID had left in the community, primarily the
loss of businesses in the area. The economic impact of COVID is fairly visible in San Rafael's downtown and I would love to utilize my
skillset in revitalizing this community and the economic gap.

Q13
Why are you interested in serving on a board or commission?
I have enjoyed serving on the DRB , and now the Planning Commission since 2019. My interest is in serving stems from my desire to
lend my point of view on issues that shape San Rafael's growth and development. This impacts issues close to my heart; economic
growth, housing, homelessness, cultural diversity, and equity. San Rafael is a special place, acting as the County seat and largest and
most diverse city in Marin. There are many issues that come along with those strengths that require forward-thinking empathetic
problem solving, and a willingness to take on issues from a place that is necessary and not always popular. Proffessionally, I have the
broad background to see issues from many sides and love to be able to use that expertise to make a difference. Additionally, making
an impact is at the core of what I pursue, and serving on the Planning Commission allows me to do just that. I want to be part of the
solution, creating and executing the vision for our City's bright future.
Q14
Describe possible areas in which you may have a conflict of interest with the City:
My business operates in San Rafael and there are hearings I may need to recuse myself from.
