Re: Letter of Interest SMART/SCTA Board

Honorable Mayors and Councilmembers:

Rai=s a driver ofquality of]ife, eCOnOmic development, and a part ofachieving our climate

goals-that is why I volunteered on the campaigns ofboth SMART ballot measures andnow ask for your support to represent you on the SMART/SCTA board.

In the past亡WO yearS, I’ve served on four regional boards developing regional relationships

and experience" My fellow board members will attest to my fair-minded approach to our

regional challenges and advocacy for all underserved communities, nOt just my own. On

these boards and with my council, I am well prepared for meetings, endeavor to

COmmunicate with staffin advance if I have questions or concerns, and actively participate

in meetings seeking to build consensus and a sense ofcollaboration. I am also ready and

able to commit to the lobbying that will be required to receive funding for a new rail bridge

at Healdsburg and a SMART east-WeSt COrridor,

I could easily argue that the northemmost city should be represented on SMART/SCTA to

ensure those in the north county who overwhelmingly supported SMART and continue to

Pay for it without direct service will be represented. However, my background and

experience have prepared me to be a strong advocate for our regional transportation

SyStemS and build on our successes. A transportation system is only as strong as its

Weakest link and I will advocate for the entire system with this in mind.

As an entrepreneur in high technoIogy, I take a systems approach to soIving business

Challenges, I’m accessible and responsive to my clients and take the same approach with

my constituents" I’ve applied this professional experience in my elected and appointed

roIes, including:

Re: Cfty Selection Committee Assignments: SMART/SCTA

To whom it may concern,

圧espectfully submit my letter of interest for one ofthe two SCTA designated positions for the SMART

Boa「d of Di「ectors. The launch and expansion ofthe SMARTt「ain cou-d prove to be the single most

important event from a housing′ environment′ and equity standpoint for the North Bay. As a Board

member′ I would remain committed to completing service to Windsor′ Healdsburg, and CIoverdaIe,

keeping our promise§ tO the voters as we cont血e to bu胴the SMART service necessary for our

residents to work and play in our communitγ・

Cities need to conti間e tO have a st「o=gVOice on the Board. Many of u; SPend countIess hours in

meetings discussing how we are going to create housing and economic opportu両es in transit-「ich

areaS. 1n my city′ We have gone so far as to c「eate a Renewa- Enterprise District′ PaSSed a density bonus

nearSMARTstations′ and are emba「king on a…Pdate of both ourge=e「a- p-an and ou「downtown

Station area plan. We a「e not aIone in these endeavors′ aS l know myco-leagues a「ound the county a「e

asking themselves the same questions - how can the SMART train and our housing opportunities create

a symbiotic and mutu訓y beneficiaI rei∂tionship?

Additione=y′ like many in this county′ l struggIe to -ive here. Between a high cost of廟ng, OutrageOuS

renta回ces′ and crushing student lo∂n debt′ many yOu=g families are being priced out of our

COmmunities. Affo「dabIe access to pu胡c transit is vital to our regio而economic future and we need to

find c「eative waysto b而g down the cost to ride so that more wo「king fam用es can utilize the t「ain as

PIease do not hesitate to 「ea⊂h out ifyou have ∂ny queStions’and 。ook forward to continuing to work
