I would like to thank the City Council for the opportunity to serve on the Commission. I would like to express my interest in requesting that the City Council consider reappointing me for another four year term to the Health and Safety Commission. Serving on the Commission during these challenging intra pandemic and post-pandemic times continues to humble me and deepen my conviction in public servitude.
