Why are you interested in serving on a board, commission or committee? I grew up in a small town in Massachusetts where I was exposed to a tight-knit neighborhood and community. At an early age, I learned the value of high-quality community services and facilities. We purchased a home in Burbank in 2016. Our top reasons for buying in Burbank were location and City services. We liked that Burbank has its own water and power, police, and fire departments, as well as schools. My interests primarily encompass activities that take advantage of good community planning. These interests include: biking on the streets, bike paths, and bike lanes; walking our dog on the sidewalks and in community parks and admiring the treescape; swimming at the Verdugo pool; exercising and relaxing in our parks; hiking the amazing trails in the Verdugo mountains; and studying or reading in the Buena Vista Branch Library. We also feel fortunate to be able to utilize programs offered to Burbank residents such as: shade tree program, appliance rebates, Home Improvement Program, City Wi-Fi, public transportation, etc. In addition, we adopted our first senior dog “Walter” from the Burbank Animal Shelter. My experiences as homeowner, Realtor, Airbnb Host (in MA), and landlord (in MA) give me unique insights into what is important and useful to residents and visitors. I interact daily with clients and Airbnb guests on a wide variety of topics in different communities. For example, I regularly address topics such as building maintenance, landscaping maintenance, Wi-Fi, parking, etc. I am a licensed contractor in MA. I owned a construction business in MA for over a decade before moving to California. Through that work, I managed and implemented residential and commercial construction projects through all steps. This included managing subcontractors and developing and overseeing budgets.

One example is a restaurant remodel I managed. The scope of work included bringing the doors and bathrooms up to ADA compliance. This also included a solution to build a handicap-accessible ramp connecting the preexisting 1800s building and the city sidewalk. I ensured compliance with the zoning and state codes for the ANSUL fire suppression system and heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) upgrades. For residential renovation projects I worked on, I was an early adopter of mini-split/heat pumps (HVAC) systems. With my home in Burbank and rental property in MA, I am hands-on with respect to maintenance issues. I have a knack for evaluating maintenance issues and developing practical and cost- effective solutions. I enjoy learning and keeping abreast of new energy-efficient technologies and solutions. Because of these experiences, I could provide valuable input to the City of Burbank on topics such as facilities operations and maintenance, construction of capital improvement projects, budgeting, etc. I love living in the City of Burbank. I would like to utilize my unique background to assist the City Council in assessing opportunities, setting priorities, budgeting for projects, and executing City infrastructure and sustainability initiatives for the betterment of the City and community.

Describe any qualifications, experience, and education, as well as any technical or professional background you may have relative to the duties of this position.

Through my work as a construction contractor in Massachusetts, I gained extensive experience working with various city departments and a solid understanding of zoning, planning, and the challenges for both cities and their residents. I am a licensed contractor in MA. I owned a construction business in MA for over a decade before moving to California.

Through that work, I managed and implemented residential and commercial construction projects through all steps. This included managing subcontractors and developing and overseeing budgets. With my home in Burbank and rental property in MA, I am hands-on with respect to maintenance issues. I have a knack for evaluating maintenance issues and developing practical and cost-effective solutions to maintenance issues. Because of this experience, I could provide valuable input on topics such as facilities operations and maintenance, construction of capital improvement projects, budgeting, etc. As a Realtor, I take an active interest in not only the community in which I live (Burbank) but in communities in which I help clients buy or sell. Understanding the various cities’ services and the programs they offer their residents is a valuable resource I offer my clients. For example, when clients inquire, I have steered them to the specific city departments (e.g., building and safety, planning, community development, water and power) to learn more about the property and about community services/rebates. When discussing home ownership, I explain to clients such items as: function and location of sewer clean-outs, location of whole house water shut-off valve, options for earthquake retrofit, use of their irrigation systems and the need to keep up to date with the watering regulations, and importance of basic maintenance of the HVAC system (e.g., changing the filters) to improve energy efficiency and longevity. As a Realtor, I try to stay informed about various methods and regulatory requirements (e.g., Burbank’s exposed wood shake/shingle roof ordinance) for residential construction and maintenance. For example, I regularly discuss with clients and contractors about the options for roof replacements and learn about current methods that contractors use. I could use such knowledge in making recommendations for City projects, such as roof replacements. I also learned about municipal processes from my partner, who works as a public works analyst for a nearby city. I am knowledgeable about the challenges she and her city face preparing and managing budgets, developing requests for proposals, managing contractors, planning future projects, and implementing City Council directives, while still providing seamless services to the residents, businesses, and visitors.

These city services that her team address encompass areas such as parking, recycling/trash, elevators, public restrooms, transit, electric vehicle charging stations, parks maintenance, and overall facilities and buildings maintenance. I would like to use this knowledge I gained of municipal processes and challenges to help the City of Burbank in their infrastructure development and maintenance efforts.

What are your goals in serving on this Board/Commission/Committee? A board member serves a vital role as ambassador between residents and the City Council. I am excited to use my background in construction and maintenance and my knowledge of city processes if I were selected as a member of the Infrastructure Oversight Board. I would like to utilize my unique background and experience to assist the Council in assessing opportunities, setting priorities, budgeting for projects, and executing citywide infrastructure initiatives for the betterment of the City and community. Serving on this City of Burbank Board would also be a great learning opportunity for me.

Sustainable Burbank Commission
Colin W Hoffmeister
Describe any qualifications, experience, and education, as well as any technical or professional background you may have relative to the duties of this position
I have taken an active role in learning how to tread lightly on our environment. It has been a priority of mine for 30+ years. For example, I converted a diesel engine car to run on used vegetable oil. I used recycled saw dust (pellets) to provide heat for a home. I love to upcycle or repurpose items. I restored 1940s metal cabinets for use in our kitchen. I use restored appliances, reuse lumber, repurpose furniture, and teach others how to utilize these resources. My partner and I have taken advantage of the City of Burbank’s and other agencies’ sustainability services and rebate programs for actions such as planting shade trees, assessing the efficiency of our home, installing a pool cover, and replacing our hot water tank with a tankless water heater. My background in construction and maintenance would also be valuable for this position on the Sustainable Burbank Commission. I was a licensed contractor in MA for over a decade, where I managed residential and commercial renovations, including managing subcontractors doing HVAC upgrades. I was an early adopter of mini-splits and heat pump technology for heating and cooling homes. In my house in Burbank, I researched and evaluated options for replacing our hot water tank. We selected a tankless water heater, which qualified for a rebate due to the water and energy savings. For future City of Burbank water or energy efficiency proposed projects or programs, I could provide input on options, with an eye towards balancing practicality, cost- effectiveness, and environmental benefit. As a Realtor, I take an active interest in not only the community in which I live (Burbank) but in communities in which I help clients buy or sell. Understanding the various cities’ services and the programs they offer their residents is a valuable resource I offer my clients. I like to educate my clients about various city programs such as: pool pump (energy efficient variable speed) rebates, appliance rebates, energy assessments of homes, free shade trees, and drought landscaping rebates. Serving on the Sustainable Burbank Commission would also be a great learning opportunity for me.

For example, I am interested in learning more about whether the word is getting out about the pool cover requirement and rebate in Burbank, how Burbank’s shade tree program or Home Improvement Program compares with other cities, etc. If those programs are not meeting the goals, then I would be excited to offer suggestions for improvements.

What are your goals in serving on this Board/Commission/Committee? This is an exciting and challenging time for sustainability in the world, in California, and at the city level. There are current notable laws and regulations like organics recycling, requirements for electric vehicle sales, and renewable energy targets. Cities are charged with reducing their carbon footprint. For example, the City of Burbank has set emissions reductions targets and identified implementation measures through its Greenhouse Gas Reduction Plan. I try to live a sustainable lifestyle and I have experience with projects to reduce my environmental footprint. I understand the challenges of offering programs that will be implemented. Programs need to be effective in the long term and embraced by the targeted participants. This is easier said than done. Actions like recycling can be helpful, but society needs to get on board with the many facets of sustainability. I would be able to provide valuable input and help the City of Burbank explore options to implement sustainability programs that the community can embrace. Citywide sustainability programs designed to reduce the City's carbon footprint can only be successful with practical application, proper implementation, and effective outreach. My background can help in each of these areas.

Supplemental Questions
Colin W Hoffmeister
Question applies to Infrastructure Oversight Board
Please list your experience, knowledge and/or expertise with City infrastructure and affiliated processes and procedures for projects (both major and routine/regular) and maintenance.

I learned quite a bit about municipal processes from my partner, who works as a public works analyst for a nearby city. I am knowledgeable about the challenges she and her city face preparing and managing budgets (capital improvement project budgets and operating budgets), developing requests for proposals, managing contractors, planning future projects, obtaining City Council approvals, and implementing City Council directives, while still providing seamless services to the residents, businesses, and visitors. These city services that her team address involve areas such as parking, recycling/trash, elevators, public restrooms, transit, electric vehicle charging stations, parks maintenance, and overall facilities and buildings maintenance. I was a construction contractor in Massachusetts for over a decade, working on commercial and residential projects. I developed and managed budgets, managed subcontractors, did the hands-on construction work, coordinated with the city regarding permitting, and ensured regulatory compliance. I am regularly involved in maintenance of my house in Burbank and my rental property in MA. I do the actual maintenance or I supervise contractors to do the maintenance work. I am good at solving maintenance problems and I try to take a practical, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly approach when considering options. I would draw upon that construction and maintenance experience while providing my input on municipal capital improvement construction projects and maintenance activities if I were selected as a member of the Infrastructure Oversight Board.

Question applies to Infrastructure Oversight Board
My work as a contractor gave me extensive experience working with various city departments and a solid understanding of zoning, planning, and challenges for both cities and their residents. My background focuses on residential and commercial projects and this experience would be applicable to municipal projects. I have experience in Project Management, Structures/Buildings, Construction Management, and Budget/Financing. I developed and managed budgets for projects such as residential renovations and a restaurant renovation. I hired and managed the subcontractors. I planned the construction schedule and was responsible for completing the project on time and on budget. I also learned about Parking, Budget/Financing, and Structures/Buildings in a city from my partner.

As a public works analyst at a nearby city, she works on purchasing, contracting, and budgeting for the Facilities Maintenance Division and the Parking Operations Division. I have become familiar with the processes she has dealt with such as developing the parking operations expense and revenue budgets, preparing requests for proposals for projects such as parking infrastructure improvements and for fire/life/safety and HVAC maintenance, executing contracts such as for maintenance of public electric vehicle charging stations, complying with regulations, etc.

Sustainable Burbank Commission
Describe any qualifications, experience, and education, as well as any technical or professional background you may have relative to the duties of this position.

In 2024, I completed the phenomenal Burbank Waste Warriors training program and developed a wonderful working relationship with Burbank's Recycling Center Specialist, Amy Hammes. Prior to this, due to my relationship with the sustainability-oriented entertainment business, EcoSet, I established a relationship with the Director of Sustainability for LA city's largest waste hauler, Athens Services, and was able to tour one of their MRFs, so I have seen firsthand the varying capacity to which solid waste is handled and accepted for recycling. In February 2024, I successfully launched a Green Committee at my labor union, I.A.T.S.E.

Local 80 (Grips/Crafts Service/Medics). As a committee chair, I attend our executive board meetings to provide advisory guidance and advocate for implementing sustainable initiatives and practices, and I have learned Robert's Rules of Order. With the broad support I received, in just one year I enacted many sustainable upgrades to our commercial building such as the installation of a water cooler, implementing separate blue and organics recycling services and capture bins, sourced donations of reusable dishware to replace single-use plastic bottles, coffee cups, and utensils, as well as provided training and best practices guides for our members about proper waste sorting and the local plastic reduction ordinances. For the past year, I have been attending the Sustainable Burbank Commission meetings as an observer, often walking to the meetings to keep my carbon footprint low and literally walk the talk. And as an attendee of a March city council meeting, my proposal during public comment of the Plastic Waste Reduction Ordinance to include mobile food service operators in a future round of outreach was incorporated. I am also a regular user of the Burbank 311 app, checking on our retailers as I shop for work, and have met with Burbank's Recycle Center new Analyst to report foodware and organics recycling violations.

So I am familiar with the relevant resources available to support enforcement of our city's sustainability ordinances.

What are your goals in serving on this Board/Commission/Committee? My goal is to be a strong advocate in helping Burbank meet its zero waste objectives and garner greater enthusiastic public participation in our goals. I would also help advocate for greater adoption of sustainable practices in Burbank's entertainment sector.

While I don't have any formal education or experience in environmental sustainability, I am incredibly passionate about this issue and have been all my life. Even in the 15 years I've lived in the Los Angeles area, I've experienced rising temperatures, severe droughts, and massive wildfires, along with their many lingering effects on our environment. Now, as the mother of a 2-year-old, I feel that the need to combat climate change is more urgent than ever.

What are your goals in serving on this Board/Commission/Committee? My main goals in serving on the Sustainable Burbank Commission would be to help advocate for policies that combat climate change on a city level and encourage my neighbors to participate in collective action. I would also love to utilize my skills as a writer and an artist to help the Commission and the city highlight actions they're already taking in this area and educate the public about ways we can all work together to make our city sustainable for generations to come.

I have already completed a 4-year term on the Sustainable Burbank Commission. In that time, I led a team of Commissioners and volunteers to plan and execute a successful Earth Day Event in 2024 in partnership with the Burbank Community Garden. I also helped facilitate other outreach programs hosted by the City and our Commission, including an Eco Resource fair and panels on heat resilience and electrification. I advocated for a ban on single-use plastics, gas-powered leaf blowers, and artificial turf. I have shared resources on better biking/pedestrian infrastructure, climate change, and environmental justice issues. I am passionate about our environment and the role that Burbank plays in it. The ramifications of climate change will be seen in my lifetime, and I am determined to do as much as I can to lessen the impact of global warming. We are all citizens of the planet, and I believe that qualifies us all to care and act for our environment. I would love to continue working together with other Commissioners on this issue. For example, as a renter, I am unable to recycle my plastic waste because we do not have a recycling bin for my building. I appreciate that homeowners can easily recycle their plastic waste with recycling cans from the city, but 60% of those who live in Burbank are renters, which means that a vast majority of our community are unable to recycle their plastic and paper trash. If we want Burbank to be a more sustainable city, then we should make sure that everyone in the community is allowed to easily recycle. If renters in Burbank can recycle the way homeowners can, imagine how much of an impact it would make on our environment! I’m also incredibly passionate about the development of our community gardens. I believe that they have the potential to be incredible centers for community and sustainability. We can implement composting systems and community food-sharing programs that will help reduce our carbon footprint in Burbank. I can imagine a Burbank that has gardens that can feed our neighbors and help our environment in impactful ways.

What are your goals in serving on this Board/Commission/Committee? My goals in serving the Sustainable Burbank Commission are making sure that we continue to implement the GRRP, expand our current programs to meet the needs of all residents in Burbank, and to engage our community about our relationship with the environment!

Why are you interested in serving on a board, commission or committee? Hello! My name is Jacqueline Molina, and I’m excited to apply for the Burbank Cultural Arts Commission and the Sustainable Burbank Commission. As someone who has lived in Burbank since childhood, I feel a deep sense of gratitude and connection to this city. It has shaped who I am—both personally and professionally—and I’m eager to give back to the community that nurtured my growth. My lifelong love of the arts naturally led me to a career in entertainment, and through that path, I’ve discovered a vibrant network of artists, writers, actors, and creatives, many of whom I first encountered through Burbank’s local events and community groups. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of contributing creatively to the city, whether by illustrating designs for the Burbank Central Library’s drop boxes (2018) or helping create set pieces for the Haunted Adventure at the Starlight Bowl. These experiences not only brought me joy but also helped me connect with like-minded individuals who are equally passionate about the arts. I now want to take that passion a step further by helping make the arts more inclusive, accessible, and community-driven. I'm particularly interested in outreach that reflects the diversity of Burbank and fosters creativity among all age groups. Supporting arts education—especially for children—is a cause close to my heart, as I believe nurturing creative expression from a young age is essential to both individual growth and a thriving, dynamic city culture. Serving on a commission would be a meaningful way to bridge my professional experience with my personal commitment to Burbank’s future.
