CITY OF PALO ALTO
HISTORIC RESOURCES BOARD
Supplemental Questionnaire
What is it about the Historic Resources Board that Interests you? What
qualities, experience and expertise would you bring to the Historic Resources
Board?
My parents' families both came to Palo Alto in the early 1900's and were active in community life. One of my
grandfathers (Kendall Bower) was well-known as a real estate broker; lily other grandfather (Jimmy Saitta) was a regular
presence at his coffee shop at the Pald Alto Golf Course md established the Palo Club. I inyself am a life-long resident
of Palo Alto. As a result, I have a strong personal and familial devotion to our community. ProfeSsionally, I have been
involved in residential construction in Palo Alto since 1975, when I established my first construction company. In ~
work, I have been very involved with Palo Alto housing, especially since much of my early work involved remodeling of
older Palo Alto homes. With the combination of my family history in this coDmnmity and my 30-plus years ofh~
building and remodeling work, I bring extensive familiarity with Palo Alto and its history, and with the full range of
issues around the management, maintenance, preservation and replacement of comnmnity builctings.
5. How would you see your role as a commissioner when recommending policy
and working with the Council? r
As the Historic Resources Board is an advisory group to the City Council, I see the Board's responsibility as freeing the
Council from. .the detailed engagement in issues related to managing the city's architectural heritage, thus allowing it to
+'.pcus on other pressing community problem!. As a commissioner on the Board'recoriunending policy and working with
.!xe. Council, I would envision my role as a conduit between the Council arid the community, which would allow me to
eichange ideas between the two groups.
6. What are the current issues that the Historic Resources Board. will face?
,
I believe that one of the main issues facing'the Board at present is balancing the community's need to protect its
architectural heritage with the need of individual property owners to upgra4e and modernize their properties.
7. If appOinted, what specific goals would you like to. see the Historic Resources
. Board achieve?
I would like to lieJp the Board develop long-term preservation goals to meet the needs of both the larger community md
the property owners in it.

Re: Application for reappointment to the Palo Alto Historic Resources Board
Thank you for the priviledge of serving on the Historic Resources Board for the past twelve years.
It is a very stimulating and rewarding opportunity to serve the community. If the Council chooses to
reappoint me, I will gladly accept another term.
I appreciate The support of the Planning and Transportation Department staff I particularly
appreciate the assistance to the Board given by Steven Turner and the invaluable services of
Preservatio Planner Dennis Backlund for his knowledge and experience in the field. Palo Alto's
preservation successes are a team effort.
As an addendum to my previous application I wish to add a list of California Preservation
