My main interest is in helping the city council to direct the development and growth of the city. Additionally to assist in guidance for the city council and city residents to provide a well planned and aesthetically pleasing living environment. I have lived in and near small towns for almost 50 years, during that time I have witnessed growth that has been sometimes appropriate and well planned , in other instances growth has overpowered the planning process. I would like to see Port Angeles maintain its heritage while providing for the well being of residents, their children and grand children. What in your background or experience do you think would help you in serving on this board? There are three main areas that will be helpful in my serving as a commissioner. 1. My past education and professional experiences are paramount. My specialty throughout my life has been the outdoor environment of people, its appropriateness, how it functions and its aesthetic effects. I graduated from, Cal Poly State University, one of the most respected Architecture and Planning Universities on the west coast. My 21 years as a business owner and my experience in landscape construction and design can be of benefit in my service. I have been a real estate broker and have broad knowledge of land ownership issues, land uses, ordinances, zoning and the planning process that occurs in a city. Being self-employed with success in business management and construction has honed my ability to make decisions. I have taught design and construction at the university level for 17 years and enjoy the opportunity to share my knowledge and experience. 2. 1 have been a volunteer in several different capacities throughout my career. Most important might be my service as a member of the Architectural Review Commission for the City of San Luis Obispo from 1988-1992. 1 served as the ARC committee chairperson for 1-1/2 years. My experience in working on the San Luis Obispo Downtown General Plan Review Committee and Tree Committee has provided added exposure to city issues and solutions. I have also been active in the California Landscape Contractors Association and the Association of Professional Landscape Designers serving on various committees and officer positions on both the state and national levels. I spent a number of years in the Obispo Beautiful Association. 3. In the course of activities I have been fortunate to travel extensively throughout the United States and also internationally which has provided me with an enormous resource of experiences and knowledge upon which to draw. pale(] spioN auen(] Ae)j -a:)uel.iodwi jo aq Aew jeqj suoilsanb jeuopppe Rue jamsue pue SaMlejuasaidai/slepti4o Alp ql!m laaw of Adde4 aq pinom 1 -sluap!sai Alp ajnlnj pue Build jo j Al!unwwo3 jallaq e aAeq 01 VOjja Ue UI uoissiwwo:)a4l of a9palmoul pue a:)uaijadxa Aug Supq pue jauoissiwwo:)Suiuueld e se 1!:)uno:)aqj joj anus of Al!iunlioddo a4l alepaidde 4anw AjaA p1nom 1 -awil alqel!eAe 10 Aluald 41!m aur SaAeal q:)tqm 4luow.gad sjn04 OZ-ZT Inoqe sayej Aluo juawl!wwo:)guiuieji/Suipeal AUDI -sasino:)auil-uo ut uveal pue s:)Iqdeis jaindwoo ade:)spuel peal 11ps op 1 walsAs A4!sjaAiun elujoj!ieD a4i woij pailiai we i aNm -uoissiwwo:) aqj UO aAJaS 01 paiinbaij avail jo junowe a4i si siauoissiwwo:) ile joj ujaauo3 auo -uotle-3ildde jnoA BuipieUi alew 01 4sim noA sjuawwo3 leuoi4!ppe Aue ppe of aoi;joa;aseald -ssa:)ojd Su'Jea4 a4l guijnp indui :)ilqnd pue ssauisnq 'jenp!AIPUI 01 aAIj!SUaS Suiaq al!qm Al!unwwo:) aye 10 SISaJalut isaq a4l pue 'sa:)jnosai jo uotle/uasuo:) *seaje aAll!SUaS PUIW ut daal pjn04s siau0isslwwO:) SaAll3a[qo pue satinp sl! u'41!M -yens jo aouejeadde aqj pue AI!Allae pue linpuoa le:)14la uO pa:)eld sl sise4dw3 -sl!wil Al!:)aqj ui4l!m s2uipunojjns ajeS SUIP!AOjd pue jUaWUOJIAUa a4l jo Al!lenb aqj 'p@qsijdwo3je sl laAeji moo 'Aeld 'jjoMaAIj a1doad ajaqm joj aq 111m uja:)uo3 suoissiwwo:) a4i -juaw:peda(] Ouiuueld aqj Aq uajej suope wojj sleadde sieaq osle uOlsslwwO:)a41-1!3uno:)Al!:)a4l of uotpe spuawwo:)aj pue 2utuoz 'asn pue,l 'juawdolaAap Al!:)jol (ueld jejauaE)) sanssi Rumeld aguej SUOI SMaIAaJ osle uoissiwwoo a41 -jeug aie awos 'I!auno:)Al!:) a4l of suotlepuawwo:)aj aie suope awoS -siaumo Aliadoid pue 'sassauisnq Isluap!saj Al!:) 'jo 1!jauaq a4l JOI pue Suluia:)uo3 suoispap sajew uoissiwwo:)Suiuueld a4i -uoissiwwo:)jo pjeog jeln3!:Wed s14110 sallilpsuodsai a44 10 guipuelsiapun inoA sl 3e4m
