I mentor students at Sequoia High School as part of the Electronic Arts Mentor Program, have served as coordinator for the Elementary Outreach program of Society of Women Engineers (organized a program involving 175 4th graders this past year), visit local schools as a guest speaker about space and NASA (Lee Mathson Middle School, Ohlone Elementary School, Cumberland School), docent for the NASA Ames Exploration Encounter, and have served as a teaching assistant at the Summer Science Program and as a substitute teacher at myoid high school. -1 ~ \ ) ) 4 What is it about the Library Advisory Commission that interests you? What qualities, experience and expertise would you bring to the Library Advisory.Commission? I would like to start taking a more active role in city matters, and this temporary position in the LAC seems like a perfect opportunity to contribute while deciding whether I should apply for a more substantial (long- term) role in the Commission. As a perpetual student, I bring a love of books and libraries. I grew up spending my summers in my own local public library, reading almost every book in the kids section, and firmly believe in the importance of libraries for children in particular. This love of all things "library" has persisted to this day -Forexample, I love visiting libraries in the cities i visit abroad or otherwise, and I started a book club in my department at Stanford and we're now on our 12th book I'm a "doer", motivated, logical (an engineer!), and goal-oriented. I've held a variety of leadership roles, one of which is Chair of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics chapter at Stanford. 5 How would you see your role as commissioner when recommending policy and working with the Council? I view the commissioner role as an advisor-like position. I believe matters should be thoroughly discussed and decided within the LAC, and then fmal recommendations should be given to the Council, for example "here are the options and this is what we believe is best for these reasons." My own personal views would be aired in front of the Commission, but only the groups recommendations should be shared with the Council. 6 What do you see as some of the key challenges in implementing the recommendations of the Commission's December 2006 report to Council "Library Services Model Analysis and Recommendations: htql:11 www.cityofpaloalto.orgicivicaifilebankiblobdload.asp?BlobID=7367? From a brief review of the 160p report, the biggest challenges i immediately spot are the a) need for more physical space and b) the need to "meet learning needs" and keep up a sustainable educational strategy. The first seems problematic because the needfor more physical space typically requires new land or atleast new construction, both of which can be expensive. The second seems to be a question oftechnology in the libraries, and the problem of keeping up with the constant improvement in this area (both equipment and staff capable of handling it). I'm a little concerned about the statement that there will be "no growth in existing general fund revenues" and am curious to see what the Commission has determined will be the funding source for these improvements. I'm encouraged to see "partnership with schools" to be a priority. 7 If appointed, what specific goals would you like to see the Library Advisory Commission achieve? 1) make sure the public has all possible opportunities to have their thoughts heard 2) ensure sufficient and timely release oflibrary-related information and news to the public 3) focus on safeguarding the importance and relevance of libraries in our community by moving forward with the times (keeping up with technology, etc) 4) concentrate on drawing children into libraries and making our libraries fun, useful, and educational for them. -2- \ <. )I ) ) Page 1 of3 " ) ) Gonsalves, Ronna From: Gonsalves, Ronna Sent: Wednesday, August 10,20111:40 PM To: 'Noel Bakhtian' Cc: Gonsalves, Ronna Subject: RE: Palo Alto Library Advisory Commission Volunteer Opportunity I have your application from June 2010 in the hat I so to speak.

Reviewer and author about historic air quality studies and topics. Participant in academic endeavors. Volunteer at a Redwood City, CA, middle school tutoring math and conducting laboratory science classes weekly. Coordinator RE-SEED, Silicon Valley, see www.reseed-sv.org 1980 -2000 Started as Project Manager, Environment'al Physics and Chemistry and ended as Program Manager, Atmospheric Sciences, Electric Power Research Institute [EPRI], Palo Alto, CA. EPRI conducted its research via utilization of researchers and staff leading in their fields. The EPRI philosophy for atmospheric sciences was to seek comprehensive understanding of several topics. My role was to conceptualize, implement science programs and projects to lead multi-year regional observational air quality, visibility and precipitation quality studies, to communicate findings and to maintain funding with the aims of ultimately quantifying how various sources of emissions are related to exposure at any location, and the relative importance of power plant emissions in context of all other anthropogenic, biogeochemical and geophysical cycles. A brief of major achievements, for which documentation is listed in the attachment, follows. 1 Completed reporting of the Sulfate Regional Experiment [1974-81] and associated studies. These established for Northeastern America multi-year, seasonally and diurnally resolved observations about the intersecting influences of synoptic meteorological events, chemical and physical transformations of S02 and NOx emissions and products, and a complex model, diagnostically tested with the observations, for simulating regional scale influence of interacting emissions and events on air quality, visibility and deposition. Led 9-year observational studies [1981-90] designed to characterize air quality measures and visibility with the major focus on the greater Western USA. An extensive network of stations took daily optical and aerosol mass and chemistry measurements for 2 years at disparate locations. The study revealed that major aerosol components in the particle size range influencing visibility were soil dust, carbonaceous material and ammonium sulfate and nitrate. This demonstrated importance of carbon and nitrates led to revisions in widespread air quality monitoring practices. The study also discovered that a then widely used teleradiometric measurement of visual range did not relate predictably to visibility reduction by aerosols which was therefore replaced by measurements of extinction. Subsequently I led a 7-year study in which several private and public organizations participated with a focus on factors, including the measurement processes, influencing aerosols and visibility within the Golden Circle of National Parks. It served as a proving ground for new observational procedure and for characterizing the lowest and highest visibility periods. During this period we established how to relate instrument measured visibility to the perception of vistas by humans. Overall these decade-plus observational studies provided the air quality information needed to establish source- receptor models that were applied regionally in the management of emissions to design and achieve visual air quality specifications. Via the Utility Acid Precipitation Study Program [UAPSP] managed the creation, operation and science involved in continuing and expanding a prior 2-year monitoring network to establish trends in precipitation chemistry across Northeastern America during a 9-year period [1979-87] while power plant S02 emissions were being reduced. A decade of high-quality measurements established inter-regional and inter-annual baselines for subsequent evaluations of S02 and NOx emission reductions. Sponsored a 5-year study [1981-86] of how clouds process air pollutants. The findings on gas-aqueous reactions and mass-transport have been included in the design of air quality models, and in textbooks on atmospheric science. Led investigations of the following urban air quality issues: Denver CO, Metro Denver Brown Cloud, 1987-88. As participant in a 45-day collaborative source apportionment study during which coal burning was cycled with gas-burning study participants showed that highest priority emission reductions should be focused on residential wood burning and motor vehicle emissions. Denver CO, Northern Front Range [NFR] Air Quality Study, 1996-97. Problem 2 was to establish events leading to exceedance of Colorado air quality and visibility standards. At request of Governoris office, initiated and led a study design team, then participated on oversight committee and technical co-management for the study. Unique features included upper air meteorological measurements, novel continuous particulate nitrate and sulfate measurements, diurnal resolution of aerosol composition, extensive source composition and activity profiling, novel plume in grid modeling, etc. Combined with prior Denver Brown Cloud studies, the findings demonstrated the importance of ground level motor vehicle emissions in central Denver, ground level agricultural emissions in the rural NE Front Range, unique but NFR typical, diurnal and episodic separated atmospheric behavior of tall stack and ground level emissions. These findings changed preconceived public policy notions and influenced air quality management practices. Kansas City, KS, Ozone Study, 1997. This study was to determine the contribution of power plant NOx emissions outside the metroplex on exceedances of the I-hour ozone air quality standard within the city. Upon analysis of 4-year data sets of all available and error-corrected data on air quality, meteorological trajectories and wind fields from ground and upper air observatories with respect to all days with exceedance hours, the study established the fraction of 03 concentration due to the stationary NOx emissions on days with trajectories towards the city. This led the local air quality management agency to allocate proportional and feasible NOx emission reductions to all relevant sources. ' Dallas-Ft Worth TX Winter Haze Study, winters 1993-95. At request of the Texas Natural Resource Conservation Commission [TNRCC] the study, supervised by an independent panel of experts, was to establish contributions of power plant and industrial emissions outside the metroplex. Observational features included measurements from towers, aircraft, and a ground station network of detailed chemistry, meteorology, extinction, visual appearance and emission profiles. Using the data to understand the mechanisms that govern the transport, chemical transformation of emissions, and data- tested plume-in-grid models, the air quality consequences of the TNRCC proposed S02 reductions were simulated with error bounds. Findings showed that the most effective improvement in DFW winter haze would come from reductions of the various urban emissions and from large regional scale S02 reductions. The outcomes demonstrated that even within a fixed schedule and budget, an applications study was successfully cross- linked with ongoing fundamental research. Model Evaluation Consortium for Climate Assessment [ME2CA], 1991-96]. Co- initiated and managed an international consortium of individual companies, industry groups and public organizations. The objective was to determine via collaborative numerical experiments and a centralized super-computing facility the strengths and weaknesses in climate forecasting. The outcomes accelerated the rate of progress on climate modeling and assessment, gaining international scientific recognition (e.g. the 1992 IPCC update). Results from the consortium's work narrowed the range of assumption previously accepted. Some of the findings were incorporated into the 1992 IPCC update. The consortium's efforts led to guidelines for the utilization of climate 3 models. North American Research Strategy for Tropospheric Ozone [subsequently renamed NARSTO], 1995-ongoing. Co-initiated and co-led a tri-national consortium of private and public research organizations with the intent for each to satisfy their individual planned goals via joint planning and implementation of field studies and knowledge assessment, i.e., a bottoms-up enterprise with top-down coordination. It serves to provide a scientific basis for the management of emissions consistent with protecting human health and the environment from adverse risks and with statutory requirements. Numerous accomplishments and findings, with emphasis on ozone, particulate matter and emissions are accessible via www.narsto.org NARSTO-Northeast, 1993-98. Initiated and led the first NARSTO field study. Its main goal was to conduct research to determine the relative importance ofVOC and NOx emissions within urban areas, the role oftransported ozone and its precursors to areas not attaining air quality standards, the importance of biogenic VOC, and the relative contributions of regional and local NOx on locally formed and regionally transported ozone. Four years [1994-97] of evolving field experiments including ground level and upper air chemical and meteorological observations coupled with data analysis and modeling studies met the goals. The findings on several scales of transport, transformations and mixing influenced the subsequent deliberations [1997-98] ofthe Ozone Transport Commission. . In addition to detailed involvement with studies listed below I participated on governing or technical review committees of the following urban, regional, national or international programs, e.g.: National Acid Precipitation Program, Eulerian Model Evaluation Field Study, Central California Air Quality studies, South Cosat [CA] Air Quality Study, Southeastern Oxidant Study 1974 -1980 Started as Technical Manager and ended as General Manager, Environmental Chemistry Center, Environmental Research and Technology, Inc., Thousand Oaks, CA and Concord, MA. As General Manager, supervised the operations in California and Massachusetts which conducted sponsored laboratory and field studies on atmospheric aerosols and on the chemistry of other environmental topics. The Technical Manager job focused primarily on the development and utilization of technical resources, including a testing laboratory, and performed technical assessments for various clients. Major accomplishments have been to establish the value of atmospheric aerosol studies, to influence the acceptance of a new primary standard for ozone measurements, to co- design the Portland OR Aerosol Characterization Study, and to co-design and conduct the Sulfate Regional Experiment. 1973 -1974 Chief, Laboratory Services, Region IX, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, San Francisco, CA. 4 Managed and developed the operations of the laboratory and coordinated federal, state and local agency concerns on the scientific aspects of emerging air quality control issues. The mission of the laboratory was to provide a broad spectrum of services ranging from microbiology to quality assurance of air quality monitoring networks for a region ranging from Nevada and Arizona to Hawaii and Micronesia. Major accomplishments were establishing productive levels of technical communications with and among the various government agencies in California, various federal research organizations and creating a regional reference center for air quality measurements. 1972 Visiting Professor, Department of Oceanography, Florida State University, Tallahassee, FL. On sabbatical, guided faculty on principles of aerosol sampling, taught a general course on air quality and published a review on air quality measurements. 1963 -73 Chief, Air and Industrial Hygiene Laboratory, State of California, Department of Health, Berkeley, CA. Led, advanced and established measurement methods and technology on a broad range of atmospheric constituents. Studies also included atmospheric processes, lung tissue responses to 03 and N02 exposure, in-vitro bioassays, identifying crucial biochemical responses when low concentrations of ozone, nitrogen oxides and particulate lead are inhaled. The work addressed operational criteria and training for running air quality monitoring networks. Co-leading and participating in one major project [ACHEX] characterized the composition and occurrence of atmospheric aerosols in California. It produced new concepts about particle size distributions, chemical composition as well as origins, fates and optical properties of atmospheric aerosols. The findings have a lasting global influence on aerosol characterization research, and the setting of air quality standards and criteria for and monitoring of particulate matter, visibility and N02. 1957 -63 Research Chemist, same affiliation. Participated in a broad scale research program that assisted air quality management in California and the determination of National Ambient Air Quality Standards and criteria. Major personal accomplishments included characterizing the non- polar and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in airborne particulate matter, sampling and characterizing the chemical composition of airborne particles in their in-situ size and unequivocally establishing that substantial quantities oflead are emitted by automobiles in very small particles. 1955 -57 Research Scientist, Komline Sanderson Engineering Corp., Peapack, NJ. Built a new research and applications laboratory designed to apply principles of colloid chemistry for enhancing the release of water from solid waste slurries. New record release rates were achieved. 1953 -55 Research Associate, Department of Environmental Sciences, Rutgers 5 ) ) University, New Brunswick, NJ.

What is it about the Architectural Review Board that interests you? The ARB has the ability to influence the character and quality of the built-environment in Palo Alto. From the public's point of view, these two aspects appear subjective, however they bear on how our city is perceived, and ultimately the economic health, vitality, and value of our community. My desire to continue to serve our community, and help preserve and improve the quality of both our natural and man-made environment, leads me to share my experience as a practicing professional with this board. , What qualities, experience and expertise would you bring to the Architectural Review Board? My experience over the last decade, including the last seven-and-a-half years as a member of the Planning & Transportation Commission and prior six years as a member of the City's Architectural Review Board, has laid the groundwork and a solid foundation for my understanding many of the city growth and demand issues, and physical constraints our community is currently facing. I've reviewed hundreds of projects, and have become familiar with the current building inventory, and goals of developers and business owners in Palo Alto. Further, as a member of the Rail Corridor Task Force, Library Bond Stakeholders Committee, Palo Alto/Stanford Red Ribbon Taskforce for Disaster Preparedness, SoFA II Working Group, and Public Safety Citizen's Advisory Committee, I've interacted with interested citizens, business owners, and community leaders. These experiences continue to fuel my desire to continue to serve our community, to manage, preserve and improve the high quality of our natural and built environment, and to share my experience as a practicing professional. I believe my volunteer public service experience and point of view could significantly benefit this body. Seven years ago, prior to being appointed to the Planning & Transportation Commission, I served as an officer on the American Institute of Architects California Council (AIACC) Executive Committee, and participated in crafting and advancing the statewide organization's Public Policy and Legislative Agenda in Sacramento. We've lobbied for, among others, affordable and transit oriented housing, livable communities, sustainable design and energy-efficient buildings, and adequate public school environments. Before retiring from the AIACC board, I set in motion the statewide organization's plan for preparing, coordinating, and dealing with the aftermath of natural disasters, with the AIACC Disaster Preparedness Handbook; a model now being utilized by many other AlA components nationally. I continue to serve on the AIACC Urban Design Task Force recommending policy. " / 5. Discuss your viewpoint regarding current issues and challenges facing the Architectural Review Board. As buildings age, redevelopment, new construction, and building renovation are a natural evolutionary process. The most difficult challenge the ARB faces is the integration of new development into a rich and diverse architectural environment. It is important to minimize projects that can only be characterized as "architectural blunders" and encourage design excellence, without constraining the hand of the designer or imposing a personal aesthetic. 6. If appointed, what specific goals would you like to see the Architectural Review Board achieve? My goal would be to demystify the approval process, and achieve a level of predictability regarding a project's level of acceptance for applicants, and effectively communicate the City's design guidelines and development standards, and the process ARB uses to interpret them. 9/6/2011 \ ) From: Lee 1.

How did you Learn about the vacancy on the Planning and Transportation Commission? Rotary Club: __ Email from City Clerk: ~ Palo Alto Weekly: __ Palo Alto Weekly Online: __ AlA: Fogster.com: __ Other, Please Specify: Conversation with Greg Tanaka 3. Describe your involvement in community activities, volunteer and civic organizations: I have been serving on the Infrastructure Blue Ribbon Commission and led the work of trie "above ground" committee and trie MSC/Baylands worKing group. I fHS has been my first involvement in Palo Alto aovernment activities. When I was an executive at 3Com, government relations was one of the departments that reported to my group and this pro'vided me with an opportunity for direct interaction with local, state and federal government officials on significant issues. Many of the issues that we are studying at the IBRC are connected to the work ot the Planning & Transportation Commission. As the IBBC completes its final report to the City COllnCil, working with the P&TC wOllld he very interesting and worthwhile. 4. What is it about the Planning & Transportation Commission that interests you? What qualities, experience and expertise would you bring to the Planning & Transportation Commission? Continuing my response to question 3 above, the issues and challenges associated with Palo Alto's ilifrastlUctUi e did 1I0t al ise ovell1igllt, but I eflect a lIeed fOI 10llgel-tellll pial IIlillg alld Iliallagelliellt. The IBRC has met with the City's planners and studied various aspects of the Comprehensive Plan. Obviously there are Implications for Ihfrastructufe related to the transportation systems in the City's roads, parking structures, bike paths and transit resources. I believe this is very important to the overall quality of life ID our communrty and would be Willing to make the commitment to the work of the Planning & Transportation Commission. As a former corporate general counsel, I am a very quick study in learning about existing and new regulatory matters. As a corporate director, consultant and former corporate executive, I have experience in working with others on complex projects and producing satisfactory results. \ ) \ 5. How would you see your role as board member when recommending policy and working with the Council? Ifit were necessary to change current roles, how would you approach making such changes? There have been two study sessions with the City Council and the IBRC in which I , have participated. I hese sessions began With bnef presentations about our work In progress, followed by the OppOrtl !Oity for COllOcil members to express their thOllghts or ask questions. Any recommendations from a commission should be based on ' analysis of relevant data and grounded In a thorough understanding of the background and issues presented. Any proposed changes should be the result of analysis, deliberation and the Council's decision-making process, factoring in lecollllllelldatioliS of COlllfllissiollS, advisors or tile City staff. 6, What are the current issues facing the Planning & Transportation Commission? Based on the briefings given to the IBRC, the overall responsibility of the P& TC is reflected In the on-going work to update the ComprehenSive Plan. I have not attended any meetings of the P&TC and don't have any comment on partic'lla r matters on the agenda of current or upcoming meetings. Because the IBRC work has recently intenSIfied and I was asked to serve as chairman of two committees, and only having just learned of the vacancy on the Planning & Transportation Commission, I've been focused on successfully completing our deliverables in my carr ellt r ole as all IBRC IlIelllber. 7. If appointed, what specific goals would you like to see the Planning & Transportation Commission achieve? As a general proposition, what attracted me to volunteer for the IBRC was a belief that both locally and nationally the issues of "Grumbling infrastruGture" were aGl-lte and vitally important. As I learned about Palo Alto's challenges in planning and funding its infrastructure resources, I formed a view that such resources are important prinGipally insofar as they Greate a foundation for deli'o'ering serviGes to residents of and visitors to Palo Alto. Transportation infrastructure is vital and central to the community's operation. Decisions about what to do, when to do it, and how it should be done are formulated in response to priorities and plans reflecting the longer-term needs of the community. This is a challenging and complex process and I think it is important for it to get the proper attention. I don't have a hidElen agenEia of speCial f)rojects, althol;lgh I'm a big fan of bike paths and public transit and look forward to ways in which Palo Alto may encourage less polluting vehicles. Sl-lch issl;les as an intermodal transit hl;lb or high sl"eed rail, along with rogional coof)oration on transportation issues will continue to be important, and deserve objective analysis and consideration. \ ) CALIFORNIA CODES GOVERNMENT CODE SeCTION 6250-6270: http://www.leginfo.ca.gov 6254.21.

What is it about the Planning & Transportation Commission that interests you? What qualities, experience and expertise would you bring to the Planning & Transportation Commission? \ J ) The state of the economy has contributed to many changes in this area.We only need to look at the retail vacancy along the University Avenue-"Facebook" move to Menlo Par~ has contributed to some changes too. Low income housing demands are still a concern but single family residential market has held its own. Multi-family senior housing will become a future concern. Land use is a very complex balancing act and we do have "jobs" vs "housing" imbalance as there are still more people commuting to Palo Alto for work than living here. This creates more traffic and new set of challenges. However, I believe that well informed local leadership will be able to meet these challenges. \ / 5. How would you see your role as board member when recommending policy and working with the Council? Ifit were necessary to change current roles, how would you approach making such changes? The City Council makes policy. The Planning and Transportation Commission is advisory to the City Council on issues relating to land use planning and transportation systems affecting the city. There are two parts in this: Current Planning and Advanced Planning. Obviously, in the Current Planning role the Commission reviews proposed projects to determine how they fit within current zoning regulations, the comprehensive general plan and land use policies. In the Advance Planning role, the board is a public forum where different discussions and reviews help formulate policies and recommendations of a course of action to Council. 6.

If appointed, what specific goals would you like to see the Planning & Transportation Commission achieve?
