I am interested in serving as the representative to the ABAG Regional Planning
Committee. The Planning Committee focuses on many of the areas that are near and dear
to my heart including Green Building, Transit Oriented Development, and Priority
Development Areas.
As a Santa Rosa City Councilmember, I [mow how hard it is to make those planning
choices that will keep us moving forward toward a more sustainable future. But I firmly
believe that as we look at the issues facing our region —transportation, climate change,
water, affordable housing, air quality —we need to plan and work together to address
them.
My record on the Council shows that I am committed to addressing these issues in a
collaborative way with the entire community and would work the same way with the
region as a representative of Sonoma County.
My understanding is the group meets every two months in Oakland. I am self employed
so have the flexibility with my schedule to regularly attend the meetings.
I will be happy to answer any questions that you might have, and respectfully request
consideration of the appointment to the ABAG Regional Planning Committee.
Sincerely,
VERONICA IACOBI
Cotmcilmember
