My work on the Council has provided a challenging lean iin- curve dealing with land use issues ,and a recent annexation project. I believe I would be an asset to the Commission and bring a small city perspective. My background is in business. I grew up in a family that owned and operated a business in Sonoma County for fifty years. I then went to work for a major corporation in San Francisco. These environments provided hundreds of opportunities to work with groups, prepare long and short -term goals and set in motion plans for success. Through my different work and volunteer positions, I have been known as a person that provides solutions and promotes consensus building. I do my research and seek out people who see issues different ways to get the best gauge on projects. Most issues have several points of view there is rarely just two sides. I am open as a Councilinember and as a member of LAFCO to hearing from all the members of'the Association. I believe this is a very important time for Sonoma County to find ways to ensure quality of life now and in the future. Please call me if you have questions.

Sierra Avenue Cotati, CA 94931 -4217 Dear Mayor Orchard and CouncilmEmbers: I ani writing to request your support for my reappointinei t to the Bay Area Air Quality Management District Board (BAAQMD) by the Mayors' City Selection Committee. As I am sure you are aware, the BAAQMD is the regulatory body for sources of air pollution within the maze San Francisco Bay Area Counties; This has been an exciting and challenging position duffing the last four years. I attend regular board meetings and standing committees including Public Outreach, Mobile Source, Persolincl and Executive Conuiiittee meetings. I currently serve as Vice Chair of the Legislative Subcommittee. I would like to emphasize the importance of consistent representation for'tle Mayors' and Councilmenzbers' Association because it allows 'Sonoma County to move up in seniority on the district board, and it takes time to understand the critical issues currently facing us with air quality standards. The BAAQMD also works closely with the Metropolitan Transportation Coinril ssion (MTC) of which I am an appointed, commissioner by the Association of Bay Area Goverru - rents (ABAG). Serving on the Air District and MTC gives Sonoma County a, cohesive and consistent voice on air quality, transportation and regional planning issues'. I am currently working to secure; funding for the Climate Protection Campaign which the'Co;unty, of Sonoma and all nine'S'onorna County cities have committed to irnplement together. A couple of other clean air projects for 'Sonoma County, which have been funded through the Air District, include natural gas buses and currently pending is a pilotbiodiesel project. I would appreciate your support, and if you have my questions, please do not hesitate to contact me at (707) 763 -6825 or email at utorliatt0waol,com Thank you for your consideration.

Having served in this capacity for two years, I understand the important role that the Bridge District plays in the transit system serving Sonoma County and have MICHAEL MARTINI consistently supported efforts to expand and improve transit options. This in the Councilmember face of declining rev enues, threats to security, rising insurance costs, and much needed seismic improvements to the Bridge itself.
