What is it about the Human Relations Commission that is compatible with your experience and of specific interest to you, and why? Page 2 Human Relations Commission Self-employed Writer and editor For the past six years I have served as a volunteer human relations commissioner. During that time, I have led a number of key projects, including a citywide human needs assessment requested by Council, an RFP process to allocate incremental HSRAP funds, a senior summit to identify service gaps impacting elders, and a new series of community forums sponsored by the HRC. In addition, I have had the pleasure of participating in many of the City's community outreach events. These include the annual May Day parade, the July 4th chili cook-off, World Music Day, and the Our Palo Alto series of community dialogs. Finally I have participated in a number of events hosted or sponsored by local nonprofit agencies, including YCS, PAHC, and DreamCatchers. Two recent highlights for me were serving as a judge for a student film contest sponsored by Digital Leaders, a PAHC youth program, and giving the keynote to a group of YCS campers who had just finished learning about environmental impacts in the Bay Area. As a long-time Palo Alto resident, I have deep roots in this community and I care greatly about its future. For many years I rented an apartment in the Ventura neighborhood and witnessed firsthand the struggles that many of our less affluent residents face. Even after purchasing a small condo in a "better" neighborhood with much wealthier neighbors, I continue to be struck by how many Palo Alto residents struggle with issues such as transportation, nutrition, loneliness, and depression. The HRC plays a major role in working with local agencies that help people of all ages, cultures and income levels overcome these barriers. The HRC also plays a major role in bringing community needs to the attention of Council--and then working with Council and City staff to fill in service gaps where possible. The ability to have this kind of positive impact on Palo Alto residents is what drew me to serve on the HRC in the first place, and it continues to draw me today. 2. Please describe an issue that recently came before the Commission that is of particular interest to you and describe why you are interested in it. If you have never been to a Commission meeting you can view an archive here: LINK. 3. If appointed, what specific goals would you like to see the Human Relations Commission achieve, and why? How would you suggest accomplishing this? Page 3 Human Relations Commission Recently the HRC launched a new learning series called "The Immigrant Experience." As part of this series, immigrants from other countries are invited to share their experience of moving to Palo Alto with the HRC. Two guest speakers from China spoke very poignantly about how isolated they feel in Palo Alto, despite the fact that both speak very good English. Although they have not experienced overt racism, they do not feel welcome outside the Chinese community. Hearing about their experiences made me realize how important it is to reach out to new residents and help them engage with the wider community, not just their own cultural or ethnic group. Two of my colleagues on the HRC, Valerie Stinger and Theresa Chen, are now working with City staff and a representative from Joe Simitian's office to develop a "welcome packet" for new Palo Alto residents. The HRC is also exploring the possibility of sponsoring a diversity day celebration that will bring residents from various backgrounds together so they can share their cultural traditions and learn about other traditions as well. The HRC has a broad charter to ensure all residents have access to the City's many amenities. Within that charter, here are some specific goals I would like the HRC to achieve: Sponsor 3 to 4 community forums a years to provide a safe place where residents can learn about and discuss sensitive topics such as: mental illness, elder abuse, and drug addiction. These events will be organized by teams of commissioners in concert with the Community Services Department. Facilitate collaboration among our local social service providers to address service gaps affecting seniors, the unhoused, low-income youth, and other sometimes marginalized groups. This can be done informally by connecting service providers with complementary interests, or formally by hosting a conference or "summit"-type event. Partner with City staff and other commissions to help plan and implement better services for residents, such as improved shuttle routes and service. This will involve assigning a liaison or forming a subcommittee to work with these outside groups. Continue to support and advocate for agencies that receive HSRAP funding. The HRC can best do that by conducting regular site visits, carefully reviewing agency proposals, working with the City Manager's office to recommend budget increases when appropriate, and alerting Council when urgent needs in the community arise.                    

From 1969-1972, I served in the U.S. Navy as an officer aboard a diesel-electric submarine. I served variously as the Communications Officer, Sonar Officer, Operations Officer, and Engineer becoming very familiar with the electronic, electrical and mechanical systems on board. I also qualified as Officer of the Deck and was awarded the Navy Achievement Medal for the work of the Engineering department during a 4 month deployment. From 1975 to the present, I was an associate and later a partner with the law firm of Morrison & Foerster LLP. I was the founder and served as managing partner of the firm's Washington DC and Palo Alto offices and served as co-head of the firm's Intellectual Property Litigation group. My practice has been largely focused on complex commercial litigation, particularly patent infringement and trade secret litigation, for electronics, laser diode, and semiconductor companies. I have also represented alternative energy producers, particularly co-generation facilities and wind farms, in negotiating power purchase agreements with utilities and in regulatory proceedings before the California PUC.

I was on the initial board of directors of the Silicon Valley Campaign for Legal Services which was started in the mid-1990s to raise the level of contributions to legal services organizations in Santa Clara and San Mateo counties. Since the mid-1990s I have served as a volunteer mediator in Santa Clara County Superior Court mediating commercial disputes. I am currently on the board of directors of the homeowners' association of the condominium in which we live in Palo Alto. I have served as Vice President and Treasurer. 1. What is it about the Utilities Advisory Commission that is compatible with your experience and of specific interest to you, and why? From my experience representing alternative energy producers, negotiating Power Purchase Agreements, and working on the S/CAP, I am very interested in and familiar with the issues around the City of Palo Alto Utilities' role in helping to reduce the City's carbon footprint and with integrating alternative energy production, including locally produced renewable energy, into the City's energy supply resources. I am also very interested in the proposals being considered for bringing fiber-to-the-premises in Palo Alto. From my experience representing electronics and laser diode companies in IP litigation, I am somewhat familiar with fiber optic technologies and very familiar with negotiating and analyzing complex commercial contracts between technology companies.

Please describe an issue that recently came before the Commission that is of particular interest to you and describe why you are interested in it. If you have never been to a Commission meeting you can view an archive here: LINK. As noted above, I am very interested in exploring how, in practical terms, CPAU can contribute to the City's S/CAP goals. Improving energy efficiency, electrification of water and space heating and adoption of electric vehicles are three major suggestions for reduction of the City's carbon footprint. These are important steps toward and important goal. I am interested in working to accomplish those steps in cost- effective ways recognizing that CPAU also has a major investment in natural gas delivery infrastructure. 3. If appointed, what specific goals would you like to see the Utilities Advisory Commission achieve, and why? How would you suggest accomplishing this? As noted, one goal would be for the CPAU to effectively contribute to the City's overall S/CAP goals. think reducing greenhouse gases contributing to climate change is highly important and that Palo Alto should be a leader in this field. The UAC should work with CPAU staff to think creatively about practical and effective ways to decrease reliance on non-renewable energy in Palo Alto. This could include, for example, providing more information to CPAU customers for replacing natural gas heating with cost- effective electric heating systems, including specific recommendations for replacement systems. This information must be readily available to customers so that, when a water heater goes out, a customer already knows what alternative systems are available and who can install them. The CPAU should also look at the effectiveness of incentives to encourage replacement of non-electric heating systems even before the end of their natural lives. Another goal would be for Palo Alto to reach an agreement with a third party broadband provider that will make fiber to the premises available to residents and small businesses and also provide the option for CPAU to expand its dark fiber services in the future. Higher speed internet capabilities provide many benefits including increased productivity for users and potentially allowing more citizens to work from home reducing car trips through the city. The UAC should work with Staff and the Citizens Advisory Committee to promptly evaluate and refine proposals and thus to speed recommendation to the City Council of the best alternative so that the project can be completed as expeditiously as possible.

I served a Vice-President of the Student Union in college and was very active in state and local politics (aided a good friend in his bid for state senate). I still have several friends in state and federal government. Once I started work in the professional world I served on various IEEE committees over the years. I am well versed in Roberts Rules of Order and the hierarchal decision making system prevalent in both community and corporate. 1. What is it about the Utilities Advisory Commission that is compatible with your experience and of specific interest to you, and why? I have recently retired (at age 54) from full time workafter aiding two companies through successful public offerings. Now that my financial needs are met, I wish to give back to the community that has served me well over the years. I feel that my experience is directly relevant to the UAC because: -I have a strong technical understanding of communication and engineering systems -I have managed large budgets, bids, contracts, and services -I have strong leadership and communication skill. -I was successful in large company politics and can be diplomatic and listen My motivation to serve with the UAC is to help the Palo Alto community. I feel we face challenging times with resources and budgets in the future. With no disrespect to present member, utilities have become a complex and technical process. I think the UAC can use more people with a strong technical background to aid in complex decisions. I feel I can help Palo Alto UAC with that and have the time to do so. Page 2 Utility Advisory Commission , /' ~ 2. Please describe an issue that recently came before the Commission that is of particular interest to you and describe why you are interested in it. If you have never been to a Commission meeting you can view an archive here: LINK. I have had a long time interest in the UAC, but the latest meeting intrigued me. I followed in detail the discussion to raise both sewer and water rates. I am not opposed to higher rates, I felt that the increases requested were modest. However, I was very impressed by the discussion and the detailed questions and analysis that followed. In particular was the simplistic analysis with the recommendation presented of an average 10% increase per year for several years. I could see flaws in this approach, as did other committee members. I wanted then and there to add my expertise in future growth and spending analysis that served me with successful companies. At that point I decided I would apply to the UAC and try to help Palo Alto to navigate the upcoming years I am a firm believer that it is the details that define a community, not the broad concepts. This discussion was good and I feel I can contribute to this and other similar discussions. The results I seek are to better the community through smart and clever Palo Alto UAC decisions. 3. If appointed, what specific goals would you like to see the Utilities Advisory Commission achieve, and why? How would you suggest accomplishing this? My main goal for the UAC is that they make the best "smart" decisions and recommendations. Too many times I watched companies and communities make complacent or poorly formed decisions that impact people and their life style. For companies, a good decision was vital to good corporate health and profit. I was fortunate to be part of many successful companies that made good decisions. For the community, the decision making process is more esoteric. Bad decisions often do not result in failure, but a degradation of quality and community. I love Palo Alto and raised 3 children here, I wish to see it continue to thrive and perform. Specific goals include: -Achieving rates and budgets commensurate to the communities ability to pay -Make sure Palo Alto utilities are being smart and up-to-date in their approach -Incorporate environmentally responsible decisions balanced with fiscal realities -Help usher in a new era of water, power, communication, and waste management I want to accomplish this by attending meetings and reviewing all material diligently. I wish to actively participate in the discussions, asking questions and listening intently. I want to serve on sub-comities that bring new ways and methods to Utilities. This way I can help make informed and educated decisions and recommendations for Palo Alto. Page 3 Utility Advisory Commission ~ ~' 4.

Have served as legal counsel to County Planning Commissions, City Planning Commissions. Have served as City Attorney for American Canyon since 1992 and advised and represented the cities of Gilroy, Los Altos, Soledad, San Gabriel, Monterey Park and Burbank on land use and CEQA matters as Special Counsel. I also served as a member of the City of Pasadena Planning Commission from 1991-1998 and its Chairman from 1986-1988. During that time several critical planning issues were formulated by the Commission and adopted by the City Council including a Master Development Plan for the California Institute of Technology. I have participated in numerous conferences by the California State Association of Counties, California Special Districts Association and various CLE extension courses concerning issues of land use and compliance with CEQA, the Brown Act and conflict of interest issues. Served on San Francisco Bay Conservation and Development Commission, 2000-2005. Page 1 Planning & Transportation Commission Employment Present or Last Employer: Occupation: Describe your involvement in community activities, volunteer and civic organizations: I was a original and continuing member of the 2180 Task Force which made recommendations to the City Planning Director concerning the development of the JJ&F Parcel; I have continuously advised the College Terrace Residents Association on legal issues associated with land use, environmental review and have consulted with residents and business owners in the City with respect to issues of City governance and planning policies and decisions. I have supported the intercollegiate athletic program at Stanford through, among other things the formation and administration of non-profit public benefit corporations consistent with NCAA and Conference rules. Page2 Planning & Transportation Commission 1. What is it about the Planning and Transportation Commission that is compatible with your experience and of specific interest to you, and why? My background in land use and environmental review as well as conducting fair hearings in several local government settings can be focused on issues that come before the Planning Commission recognizing its limited jurisdiction and its advisory role to the City Council. I believe that I can contribute to the efficiency of Commission decisions no matter what those decisions are or how they are perceived as being representative of the several views of residents and businesses within the City that exist. 2. Please describe an issue that recently came before the Commission that is of particular interest to you and describe why you are interested in it If you have never been to a Commission meeting you can view an archive here: LINK. There are continual issues that come before the Planning Commission that concern and interest me. 2555 Park Boulevard would be a recent example as during that hearing the Commission had to be reminded about compliance with its own procedures by individual residents and individual business owners concerning the Project. The case is an example of where uniform hearing procedures where all are treated equally would be a benefit to reaching sound Commission decisions. Page 3 Planning & Transportation Commission 3. If appointed, what specific goals would you like to see the Planning and Transportation Commission achieve, and why? How would you suggest accomplishing this? I would personally work for, and facilitate, further compliance with all aspects of planning and land use law, including fair hearing procedures, and within the defined role of a planning commission. I would also work to facilitate timely response to City Council directives as well as to ensure timely Commission review of both adjudicatory and legislative permits. I believe my past and current experience with public hearings and land use and environmental issues can realistically and practically achieve this goal. 4.

My background includes 46 years of professional work on energy, environmental, resource, planning, and legal issues. It includes work for the Department of Interior and EPA in Washington, D.C. At EPA, I was executive director of the first federal agency study of the nation's energy problems during 1972-73. I am an environmental, energy and land use attorney and after working in energy regulation for General Electric during 1973-78, my legal clients have included both the private sector and I have represented more than 200 local governments in California. Frequently, my local government work included regulation of a public utility, and the refuse collection and recycling contracts of each city. For the past 19 years, I have been teaching 4-8 classes per year at San Jose State, Santa Clara, Menlo, and UC Santa Cruz in energy policy, water policy, environmental and advanced environmental law, politics and the environment, and resource management For 13 years I have served on the oversight committee for $600 million of water projects for the Santa Clara Valley Water District Please review my attached resume for a comprehensive view of my experience. Page 1 Utility Advisory Commission Employment Present or Last Employer: Santa Clara University Environmental Law; San Jose State University Environmental StudiED Occupation: Professor; Please see attached resume. Describe your involvement in community activities, volunteer and civic organizations: Since returning to Northern California in 1973, I have been a Palo Alto resident and active in community affairs. I served on the City's Planning Commission in 1973, managed precinct walking in 1975 for the Association for a Balanced Community (ABC), and served as ABC's chairman. I served as chair of the City's plastics and CFC's committee in 1988-1991 and served as chair of the Crescent Park Neighborhood Association in 2001-2003. As land use chair for the Lorna Prieta Chapter of the Sierra Club, I worked on issues in Santa Clara and San Mateo Counties. Most notably in Palo Alto we opposed the Willow Freeway proposed to service the Stanford Shopping Center. From 1979 to 1984 I was the only full time member of theCA Waste Management Board. As its Chair I funded the start up of curbside recycling and com posting in Palo Alto. Our annual Great California Resources Rally drew 600,000 people to about 1000 events each year throughout the state, including Palo Alto. I have been appointed to the County Planning Commission by Supervisors Steinberg, McKenna, Kniss, and Gage. When my work there conflicted with my BAAQMD obligations, I was appointed to LAFCo, where I have served for the past 13 years. As the county planning commissioner for our area I was successful in stopping urban sprawl in the South County and attended more than 200 meetings to develop the first land use plan for the Stanford campus during my 1996-2002 service. From 1985-2003 I was the volunteer Government Affairs Chair of the Peninsula Industrial and Business Association based in Palo Alto. Each month I hosted a luncheon featuring elected officials and agency heads. My daughters attended public schools and I served on numerous roles; either at Ohlone School or district wide. Because of this work and my environmental work the Rosicrucian Society named me Humanitarian of the Year in 1999. I suspect anymore is unnecessary, but I am happy to answer any questions you may have. 1. What is it about the Utilities Advisory Commission that is compatible with your experience and of specific interest to you, and why? I grew up with water issues because my father was Chief Engineer for the Central Regional Water Quality Control Board. Starting with a water law internship in 1970 with the Department of Interior in D.C., I have worked on energy, water, and utility issues for my entire professional career. For my energy and water policy classes, each class has a guest expert speak to the class. They have encouraged me to put my background to use in areas besides the academic. Having given up the SCVWD oversight committee in 2013, and being termed out as Chair of the BAAQMD Hearing Board in March, 2017, I feel that I have the time to serve effectively on the UAC. Page2 Utility Advisory Commission 2. Please describe an issue that recently came before the Commission that is of particular interest to you and describe why you are interested in it. If you have never been to a Commission meeting you can view an archive here: LINK. In January, the UAC examined the City's existing policies on undergrounding utilities. This is an area of interest to me because of my service on the County Planning Commission. As a Commissioner, I attempted to get all subdivisions in unincorporated territory to be built with undergrounded utilities. In 1978, we were successful in limiting development in the County to agriculture and open space. The vast majority of subdivision development disappeared. However, the County does have a cluster ordinance that allows very large parcels (hundreds of acres) to develop, contingent on about 85% of the land to be preserved as permanent open space. In these developments, I was able to get the utilities undergrounded. 3. If appointed, what specific goals would you like to see the Utilities Advisory Commission achieve, and why? How would you suggest accomplishing this? During my 43 years in the City, Palo Alto has been a leader on environmental and energy issues. I hope to help the City continue that leadership in areas, such as climate change, energy and water conservation, developing alternative energy sources, and water recycling. In my experience, the Utilities staff has done an excellent job of analyzing issues. It is my hope to assist this expertise with a broad based public policy background and knowledge of how government works. From 1984-1998, I was a problem solver for cities throughout the state. I hope to bring those skills to encourage workable solutions for the City. Finally, the first ten years that I did the Breathe California TV show, I was the sidekick to David Bonasera, who was very technically adept, but used a lot of esoteric language. Just as I did on the show, I hope to able to get utility programs to described in a way that is more understandable for the community. Page 3 Utility Advisory Commission 4.
