I have been the owner of a landscape design business in Petaluma since 1984. This
experience gives me insight into land use, commercial planning, and design of public places.
I have a Master of Fine arts in sculpture, teach sculpture at the university level and have
received many of awards of excellence for my work. I bring to the table the ability to solve
problems creatively and think outside the box. I have a certificate in permaculture and am
very involved in sustainable issues. I believe that the development of the Smart train is an
essential part of the plan to reduce green house gases. The stations are an important integral
part of this program and my input will be a valuable asset in the planning stage.

Please state reasons why�you want tobecome a member of this Board Commission or
Committee including what specific obtectives`you would be working toward as a: member of
this;adviso body
I want to become a member of the citizen Advisory Committee for the Petaluma SMART
station area planning because the SMART train and it's stations play an essential role in the
plan to reduce green house gases. Specifically I would like to see the stations developed
around sustainable principals. Petaluma is already on it's way to becoming an eco tourist
destination with Schollenberger Park being on the National Geographic list of destinations and
Patricia Johanson's internationally published project for the Petaluma wetlands Park on the
Smithsonian's list as soon as it is completed. If the stations reflect development around
innovative sustainable ideas that will be one more step in Petaluma becoming known as a
forward looking community that will attract the eco tourist.
Is there any other informatwri that you feel would_6e useful-to theiCity Cqur cd miev iewing ,
yo "ur application? .
As you can see I have not been very involved in government bodies and elective offices since
my university days. Petaluma has been my home since 1983. 1 recently moved into town
from the country. I care deeply about how Petaluma is developed in these next critical years
as the paradigm shifts. I would like to a part of the planning for the future in the areas that I
have an interest and expertise.
