I am an ardent believer in the ability of local communities to develop their own solutions to
community needs. Collaboration and collective intelligence have laid an exceptionally good
groundwork for the future in our Petaluma General Plan. I believe that my particular
usefulness to this committee would be my ability to identify and articulate a vision of future
SMART area developments that is inclusive and beneficial to the entire Petaluma community,
regardless of race, gender, or social class. I have always been a team builder whose greatest
devotion is to our greater good. I believe that my service upon this committee would be the
greatest use of my talents for the community. A future that will be greatly impacted by fewer
financial resources from state.and federal governments and a. middle class in decline will be in
dire need of community service - minded citizens like myself.

a .a
Against the backdrop of fossil fuel depletion and climate change, I would like to assist in the
process of insuring that future development around what I believe will be our primary
public transportation method is truly beneficial for the entire Petaluma community. According
to the U.S. military, the Dept. of Energy, the German military and the British government,
fossil fuel depletion will cause major disruptions in our way of life, perhaps beginning as early
as 2012. Future development around our SMART stations will, I hope, take into account the
need for post - fossil fuel planning, including greater utilization of pedestrian and bicycle -
friendly developments.
