MY PASSION IS HELPING PEOPLE
Dear Hiring Manager,
I am writing to express my interest in working in your organization. With a longstanding dedication to public safety and a profound ability to foster community relations, I am eager to bring my expertise to your team. My initiatives with Lights On LA have afforded me the opportunity to produce content that resonates in depth with community ethos, aligning seamlessly with your organizational values.

In leading Lights On LA, I have actively engaged in dialogues that bridge the gap between law enforcement and the community.

One of my key accomplishments has been scripting and hosting over 200 episodes of our program, each designed to elevate civic engagement and public awareness. This has involved intricate coordination, from pre-production meetings with diverse community leaders to on-air interviews with influential public figures. These tasks have honed my skills in managing communications at multiple levels, ensuring that each message is tailored effectively to evoke viewer engagement and initiate meaningful discussions.

Moreover, my fundraising acumen, having raised over $1.5 million across various campaigns, demonstrates my strategic prowess and commitment to making impactful contributions. My work extends beyond media and into the realm of direct community impact, evidenced by my history of successful collaboration with local government and nonprofit organizations. This dual focus on communication and actionable outcomes is the cornerstone of my professional ethos, ensuring that the message not only reaches but also makes a tangible difference.

I welcome the opportunity to further discuss how my unique background in public relations and community engagement can significantly benefit your organization. Thank you for considering my application. I look forward to the possibility of discussing this exciting opportunity with you soon.

Since my appointment to the Heritage Commission in December 2025, I have actively participated in Commission discussions regarding historic preservation, preservation education, and community outreach. During my service, I have worked to strengthen public engagement efforts by contributing ideas related to educational materials, public feedback opportunities, accessibility, and broader community participation. I have also engaged with local stakeholders and cultural organizations to better understand the many stories that contribute to Burbank's heritage, including conversations with representatives of the Fernandeño Tataviam Band of Mission Indians regarding opportunities for public education and historical awareness. Professionally, I bring extensive experience in entertainment, communications, and brand strategy, with a focus on cultural storytelling, audience engagement, and preservation of creative legacy.

If reappointed, I hope to continue building upon the progress made during my partial term by supporting historic preservation efforts, expanding public awareness of Burbank's heritage, and strengthening the Heritage Commission's role as an educational resource for both the City Council and the community. I am particularly interested in encouraging thoughtful community engagement, improving opportunities for public participation, fostering partnerships with local cultural and historical organizations, and helping ensure that the stories, places, and traditions that have shaped Burbank are preserved and shared with future generations. I also believe it is important that communities connected to Burbank's history have meaningful opportunities to participate in how that history is interpreted, contextualized, and communicated to the public. Historic preservation is most effective when it is paired with education, outreach, and authentic community engagement, and I would welcome the opportunity to continue contributing to those efforts as a member of the Heritage Commission.

Why are you interested in serving on a board, commission or committee? I am interested in serving on the Civil Service Board because my experience managing staff recruitment, hiring, and supervision in a Congressional office, combined with my legal training in conducting hearings and analyzing complex disputes, has given me a deep appreciation for fair personnel systems and due process protections that are essential to effective government. My background in both legislative operations and legal practice has equipped me to provide thoughtful oversight on personnel administration matters while ensuring employees receive fair consideration in appeals. As to the Infrastructure Oversight Board, I believe well-maintained infrastructure is foundational to community quality of life and economic prosperity. My experience managing policy portfolios that included project labor agreements and prevailing wage requirements for public works, combined with my legal expertise in regulatory compliance and contract disputes, positions me to effectively review capital projects, assess funding priorities, and ensure infrastructure investments align with the City's long-term planning goals while maintaining accountability to Burbank residents.

Infrastructure Oversight Board
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 bring a combination of policy development experience, legal expertise in regulatory compliance and contract matters, and analytical skills that are directly applicable to infrastructure oversight. As Deputy Chief of Staff in the U.S. House of Representatives, I managed complex policy portfolios and worked extensively on labor-related infrastructure issues, including project labor agreements and Davis-Bacon prevailing wage requirements for public works projects. This experience taught me how infrastructure decisions impact communities and the importance of balancing stakeholder interests in the public interest. My legal practice at Husch Blackwell has further developed my capacity for infrastructure oversight. I manage a caseload of 50+ complex matters involving real estate litigation, contract disputes, and regulatory compliance, skills directly applicable to reviewing capital improvement projects, assessing contract performance, and ensuring adherence to adopted plans and regulations. I have conducted comprehensive 50-state surveys of regulatory requirements and compiled compliance frameworks for multi-jurisdictional transactions, demonstrating my ability to analyze complex systems, synthesize large amounts of information, and identify best practices. Additionally, my operational management experience coordinating budgets, schedules, and personnel in a Congressional office has given me practical insight into project management, budget planning, and performance monitoring. I understand the importance of tracking expenditures against goals, conducting regular reviews, and ensuring accountability, all core functions of the Infrastructure Oversight Board. I hold a law degree and have demonstrated the ability to conduct comprehensive research, analyze complex technical and legal issues, and provide strategic recommendations to leadership, all skills essential for effective infrastructure oversight and policy development.

I am committed to helping Burbank achieve that vision.

Supplemental Questions (Infrastructure Oversight Board Only) 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.

My professional experience has provided me with transferable expertise highly relevant to infrastructure oversight. As Deputy Chief of Staff in the U.S. House of Representatives, I worked extensively on infrastructure-related labor policy, including project labor agreements (PLAs) and Davis-Bacon prevailing wage requirements that govern public works projects.

This work gave me insight into the regulatory frameworks, stakeholder considerations, and compliance requirements that shape infrastructure development and maintenance. In my legal practice, I have managed complex matters involving real estate, contract disputes, and regulatory compliance, skills directly applicable to reviewing infrastructure contracts, assessing project performance, and ensuring adherence to legal and regulatory requirements. I have conducted comprehensive multi-jurisdictional regulatory surveys and compiled compliance frameworks, demonstrating my ability to analyze complex systems, identify best practices, and synthesize technical information for decision-making. My operational management experience coordinating budgets, schedules, and multi-office operations has equipped me with practical knowledge of project planning, resource allocation, and performance monitoring. I understand the importance of tracking expenditures against goals, maintaining schedules, and ensuring accountability, principles that apply equally to infrastructure project oversight. I am committed to learning the specific processes and procedures governing Burbank's infrastructure projects and bringing my analytical skills and attention to detail to ensure effective oversight.

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

My experience maps onto this board's core work — the high-level review of scope, schedule, cost, and risk on infrastructure projects, and the adequacy of maintenance programs — and includes time inside city government. As a Harvard Business School fellow in the Office of the Mayor of Sacramento, I co-founded the Mayor's Office of Innovation and shaped the policy for an $8 million city fund, so I understand how a municipality plans and funds initiatives. As a U.S. Army logistics officer and Captain, I led a 30-person team sustaining a 5,000-person brigade across 22 bases — directing maintenance for 1,000 vehicles, 22 fuel points, and facilities under hard constraints. I have since run HVAC, plumbing, and electrical field services operations — the building systems at the center of a city's programmatic capital and maintenance — and stood up a manufacturing facility end to end, from capital equipment to vendor onboarding. My Harvard M.B.A. and ownership of multi-site P&Ls anchor the budget and risk side. I am not a licensed engineer; my value to this board is the management, oversight, and finance lens its establishing ordinance asks the Council to seek.

What are your goals in serving on this Board/Commission/Committee? To help the city get full value from every infrastructure dollar. Concretely: hold the annual capital and maintenance prioritization to a clear scope-cost-risk standard; make sure routine maintenance is not deferred into far larger future bills; check that funded projects deliver what was promised, on the schedule and budget set; and help explain to residents, plainly, why maintaining the city's assets matters. I would bring rigor and follow-through, and decisions made in the city's interest — not a personal agenda.

Describe any qualifications, experience, and education, as well as any technical or professional background you may have relative to the duties of this position
This committee's work is grant administration — reviewing funding applications, analyzing performance, and ensuring federal compliance — and I have done closely related work inside city government. As a Harvard Business School Service Leadership Fellow in the Office of the Mayor of Sacramento, I co-founded the Mayor's Office of Innovation and created the policy for an $8 million city fund that made grants to educators and equity investments in startups.

I know what a credible funding proposal looks like, how to judge one on merit, and how to hold recipients to measurable results. Through volunteering on Habitat for Humanity home builds, I have also seen up close the kind of community work these federal dollars support.

My Harvard M.B.A. and experience running businesses keep me fluent in budgets and outcomes, and as a combat veteran I bring a perspective the committee's own appointment criteria specifically call for.

What are your goals in serving on this Board/Commission/Committee? To make sure Burbank's limited federal dollars go to the highest-impact uses, and that the organizations receiving them are held to measurable results. I would focus on rigor in the review — clear criteria, honest performance assessment, and careful stewardship of public money.

My experience is not with Burbank infrastructure specifically, but it is closely related. I have worked inside city government — as a Harvard Business School fellow in the Office of the Mayor of Sacramento, where I co-founded an innovation office and shaped the policy for an $8 million city fund — so I understand how a city plans, funds, and prioritizes. As a U.S. Army logistics officer and Captain, I led a 30-person team sustaining a 5,000-person brigade across 22 bases, directing maintenance operations for 1,000 vehicles, 22 fuel points, and supporting facilities. I have run HVAC, plumbing, and electrical field-services operations — direct, daily exposure to the building systems and maintenance cycles that make up much of a city's programmatic capital. And as the operator of a manufacturing business, I own the full cycle this board reviews: major capital projects; routine and programmatic capital — the recurring maintenance and replacement that keeps a facility running; and the annual call on how to prioritize limited funds, then checking the next year what was accomplished against what was planned. The scale and the public-funding rules differ; the discipline — scope, schedule, cost, risk, and honest after-the-fact review — does not.

First Choice
FIRST choice for Board/Commission/Committee appointment:

Infrastructure Oversight Board
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 no technical experience in urban planning or design and am not an expert in any engineering related field, I only have a strong layman's understanding of the city's infrastructure policy and capital improvement program - as a non-professional community member. No professional experience in financial management or fiscal no except any publicly available information on measure p and it's revin to the city.

What are your goals in serving on this Board/Commission/Committee? I've seen the city council has spent the last several years doing its best to accommodate a growing city, in a way respectful to the concerns of residents worried their city is losing its charm. As someone who contributes to Burbank's infrastructure tax pool, and hopes to inherit the debts and progress of my city in the future, I hope to help advise council to spend our infrastrcuture dollars in a disciplined and reserved way. Over the last few years, it's become clear Burbank cannot rely on the support of governments above us to fund our infrastructure ambitions; Burbank will need to be more disciplined in the way we go about spending our Measure P dollars. Our Measure P dollars will have to support our infrastructure ambitions more independently. I would advise council to encourage more private-public partnership developments to the effect of growing our city in a financially disciplined way, in an ever more stringent funding environment. Anywhere we can apply the Central library's P3 model we should. Burbank will need to build now, and fast, while we can, to keep the benefit of funding we're awarded from the federal government before we lose access to the everfleeting dollars from above. I would recommend city council to build now, while we can - and spend what we can to maintain the infrastructure Burbank already has as opposed to new projects that may not be disciplined and receptive to the concerns of a worried taxpayer.

SECOND choice for Board/Commission/Committee appointment:

Library Board of Trustees
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'm currently a bachelor's student working towards an economics degree. In this capacity, I've learned rudimentary financial management. I'm intimtely familiar with the library's programs and services I've grown up in Burbank Libraries, participating in their summer reading programs and services anytime I had an assignment to get done I thought was tough. I have certifications in fincanial management courses and fiscal competence in budgeting and other accounting processes.

What are your goals in serving on this Board/Commission/Committee? As someone who's spent a lifetime benefitting from the services of a world-class library system, I would love the opportunity to integrate Burbank library's services to Burbank schools. For example, Burbank Public Libraries offer a digital media program to any member of the public, in a digital media lab built into Burbank's Central Library. This is known as the Sparks Lab. I would encourage city staff to work directly with the BUSD, to encourage Burbank's digital media programs in Burbank's school to integrate them with an amazing public service block away on Orange Grove. I would encourage the city to connect the library's digital media services with BUSD's digital media programs and introduce students in animation, photography, and film programs to an indispensable public service in the media capital of the world. I've grown up in Burbank Libraries, participating in their summer reading programs and services anytime I had an assignment to get done I thought was tough. I would love the opportunity to integrate the services of Burbank Libraries into the BUSD to offer Burbank students the opportunity to use services that already exist - like the Sparks lab - to the greatest capacity there is. I understand the Burbank Central Library is undergoing a significant renovation into the Burbank Civic Center. I understand the Library board of trustees will have a significant role in guiding that process as the city takes input from the public community members, and decides how to go about one of the largest changes in Burbank services in recent memory. I strongly believe the greatest beneficiaries of the services the City offers are those that are not particularly aware of them. I would encourage the city to integrate input from the greatest beneficiaries of Burbank Public Library services, Burbank students. The City should ask the district to advertise the library's renovation to Burbank's student body, and encourage participation in the public input sessions that will dictate one of the most significant changes Burbank students will experience as - hopefullifelong residents of our city. maintain the feature that characterizes Burbank all over Southern California - our great city services.

I have a personal interest in urban planning and traffic engineering, and have done what I can to learn about my city in these spheres. I have no technical experience in the above fields. I have certifications in financial management courses and fiscal competence in budgeting and other accounting processes. I have a strong understanding of personal financial planning, and agency budgeting. I have a personal level passionate interest in traffic engineering, and urban planning as a citizen.

Art in Public Places Commitee
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 bring over 20 years of experience as an international producer and creative executive working across film, visual storytelling, and public-facing cultural projects in both the United States and Europe. My work has involved developing, financing, and producing films that have been presented at major international festivals including Cannes, Venice, Toronto, and Tribeca, giving me extensive exposure to high-level artistic standards, curatorial decisionmaking, and audience engagement. Throughout my career, I have collaborated closely with directors, writers, visual artists, designers, and public institutions, often evaluating creative proposals and guiding projects from concept through completion. This includes assessing artistic merit, feasibility, budget alignment, and cultural relevance—skills directly applicable to reviewing and selecting public art installations. I also served on the board of a major international film distribution company, where I participated in strategic and artistic decisions regarding a diverse catalog of works. This experience strengthened my ability to balance artistic integrity with public impact, accessibility, and community value. My technical and professional background includes: Project development and creative evaluation Budgeting, financing structures, and resource allocation Coordination with municipalities, funding bodies, and cultural organizations Oversight of production design, visual aesthetics, and location-based storytelling Understanding of how visual works interact with physical environments and public audiences In addition, my international background and dual US–European perspective allow me to bring a broad, inclusive view of contemporary art practices and public space integration. While my formal education is complemented by extensive hands-on industry experience, my career has required continuous engagement with evolving artistic, technical, and cultural frameworks, making me well-equipped to contribute thoughtfully to the Art in Public Places Committee. I am particularly interested in supporting projects that enhance community identity, encourage public engagement, and reflect the diversity and creativity of the local population.

What are your goals in serving on this Board/Commission/Committee? My goal in serving on the Art in Public Places Committee is to help shape a public environment where art meaningfully enhances daily life, reflects the identity of the community, and remains accessible to a broad and diverse audience. I am particularly interested in supporting projects that: Integrate thoughtfully into their physical surroundings Foster a strong sense of place and community pride Encourage engagement from residents of all ages and backgrounds Balance artistic ambition with long-term durability and public value I also aim to contribute a professional perspective on evaluating proposals—bringing experience in creative development, budgeting, and project execution to help ensure that selected works are both impactful and realistically achievable. Beyond project selection, I see this role as an opportunity to support a transparent and forward-thinking process that welcomes a range of artistic voices, including emerging and underrepresented artists.

Ultimately, my goal is to help curate a program of public art that is visually compelling, culturally relevant, and enduring—work that residents encounter not just as decoration, but as part of their shared civic experience.

Previous experience with the committee and the committee members; participation in a variety of art contests including the Friends of the Burbank Public Library, and two years submissions for the Ventura County Strawberry Festival logo contest.

What are your goals in serving on this Board/Commission/Committee? I think the biggest gap for this committee has always been public visibility. Not a lot of residents are aware of what the committee does, nor the availability of numerous art pieces throughout the community. At the very least, aside from reviewing the standard ordinance submissions, I'd like to encourage the committee and city to have more visibility for all the work the committee does.

FIRST choice for Board/Commission/Committee appointment:

Art in Public Places Committee
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've got administrative and creative experience, and I'm reliable and professional. I've had administrative experience as a Professor of Art, Department Head and Academic Senator. All of these required me to be familiar with the rules and regulations of the college and state.

During my 20+ years at Long Beach City College, I wrote a wide range of grants, wrote new courses and programs, evaluated existing courses and programs, participated in hiring committees. I've also learned how to work with a diverse group of individuals. In terms of the visual and creative arts, I've got the practical experience of running a photography studio which involved: bidding on jobs, working with budgets, propping and styling, having sets built, working with a crew of assistants and stylists (and clients!).

What are your goals in serving on this Board/Commission/Committee? I'd like to continue my process of learning about and giving back to the Burbank community.

Burbank's wide range of public art is one of the things that makes the city special, and I would enjoy helping ensure that public art funding is used thoughtfully so that art continues to enrich the experience of living, working, and visiting here. I'm particularly interested in how public art can encourage people to engage more deeply with a city. An idea that I find interesting is in Budapest, Hungary where they have hidden a network of small historical sculptures throughout the city. Searching for these, learning about the city, and its history, has become a very popular attraction. I could imagine similar opportunities in Burbank that build on our existing public art, murals, and cultural resources. I also have a long-term interest in strengthening connections among local artists and the community, including the possibility of a citywide Open Studios event. Serving on this Committee would help me better understand the City's relationship to the arts while allowing me to contribute to an area I care deeply about.

First Choice
FIRST choice for Board/Commission/Committee appointment:

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

Bachelor of Business Administration, University of Miami, 2011 - concentrations in Marketing and Entrepreneurship, minor in Music Business & Entertainment. Over the course of my career I have worked at the intersection of art, commerce, and community - evaluating creative projects through both an artistic and commercial lens, developing artist branding and identity systems, managing distribution and production pipelines, and supporting artists in bringing their vision into the world at scale. My work across major labels (Sony, Warner, Universal) and independent ventures has given me a deep understanding of how creative work gets funded, positioned, and received by audiences. I also bring an entrepreneurial and design-informed framework to everything I do, understanding how to assess impact, allocate resources, and build sustainable creative ecosystems. Speaker, Burbank Tech Talks (2026).

What are your goals in serving on this Board/Commission/Committee? My goal in serving on this committee is to be a meaningful touchpoint in Burbank's cultural vibrancy... to get to know and champion local artists, and to help ensure public art reflects the creativity and diversity of our community. I have a genuine joy for giving back and a deep desire to support and elevate art and media in the spaces where people live their daily lives.

Describe any qualifications, experience, and education, as well as any technical or professional background you may have relative to the duties of this position
Bachelor of Business Administration, University of Miami, 2011 — concentrations in Marketing and Entrepreneurship, minor in Music Business & Entertainment. My career has spanned digital media, content strategy, platform building, and entrepreneurship. As a podcast host, writer, and creator of educational content, I have a deep appreciation for how knowledge resources shape opportunity and community. I have received multiple grants from the City of Miami and at the national level for entrepreneurial education initiatives, demonstrating both my commitment to accessible education and my ability to develop programming with real community impact. I understand how to create and curate content that serves diverse audiences, and how to build platforms that make information accessible and engaging. I bring both a creative and strategic lens to how public institutions can evolve to better serve residents.

What are your goals in serving on this Board/Commission/Committee? I believe strong communities are built on strong education and access to knowledge and libraries sit at the heart of that. As a researcher, writer, and creator of educational content, I have a personal investment in seeing Burbank's library system thrive. I'm excited about the reinvestment happening in this space, including the evolution of the Central library, which is walkable from my home. I'd love to be part of that evolution- helping shape a library system that serves as a hub for creativity, research, innovation, and community connection for generations to come.

Why are you interested in serving on a board, commission or committee? I am interested in serving on the Civil Service Board because my experience managing staff recruitment, hiring, and supervision in a Congressional office, combined with my legal training in conducting hearings and analyzing complex disputes, has given me a deep appreciation for fair personnel systems and due process protections that are essential to effective government. My background in both legislative operations and legal practice has equipped me to provide thoughtful oversight on personnel administration matters while ensuring employees receive fair consideration in appeals. As to the Infrastructure Oversight Board, I believe well-maintained infrastructure is foundational to community quality of life and economic prosperity. My experience managing policy portfolios that included project labor agreements and prevailing wage requirements for public works, combined with my legal expertise in regulatory compliance and contract disputes, positions me to effectively review capital projects, assess funding priorities, and ensure infrastructure investments align with the City's long-term planning goals while maintaining accountability to Burbank residents.

First Choice
FIRST choice for Board/Commission/Committee appointment:

Civil Service Board
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 studied Political Science at the University of Delaware and early in my career, I served as the personal aide to U.S. Senator Tom Carper of Delaware - based in his Wilmington office and regularly traveling to Washington, D.C. for official Senate business. The role required managing the Senator's schedule, logistics, and briefings while maintaining discretion and sound judgment in a high-stakes environment. That experience gave me a firsthand understanding of how public institutions operate and what principled public service demands in practice. Professionally, I have spent over a decade designing and managing the operational systems that govern how organizations hire, classify, compensate, and hold employees accountable. As Revenue Operations Director at ProducePay and previously as a Salesforce architect, I regularly built compensation frameworks, employment classification structures, and governance documentation that were consistent, auditable, and fairly applied. I understand what it means to evaluate employee situations against a defined set of rules, and I bring both the analytical discipline and the institutional respect for process that Civil Service Board work requires.

What are your goals in serving on this Board/Commission/Committee? My primary goal is to serve the City of Burbank well by contributing a thoughtful, processoriented perspective to the board's work. The Civil Service Board exists to ensure that city employment practices are fair, consistent, and transparent - and I want to help uphold that standard. My interest in public service goes back to the beginning of my career, and I see serving on this board as the right way to re-engage with it: by showing up, doing the work, and building a real record of local contribution.

SECOND choice for Board/Commission/Committee appointment:

Community Development Block Grant Committee
Describe any qualifications, experience, and education, as well as any technical or professional background you may have relative to the duties of this position
My B.A. in Political Science included study of federal grant programs and intergovernmental policy, and my early career in the U.S. Senate gave me direct exposure to how federal funding flows into communities and the accountability structures that govern it.

Professionally, I have spent over a decade managing complex operational systems with strict compliance and reporting requirements - experience that translates well to administering a federally funded program like CDBG, where documentation, eligibility determination, and outcome tracking are central responsibilities. As a Burbank resident and small business owner, I also have a personal stake in seeing community development dollars deployed effectively toward housing, economic opportunity, and neighborhood improvement.

What are your goals in serving on this Board/Commission/Committee? The CDBG program represents one of the most direct ways federal investment reaches working families and neighborhoods at the local level. I want to help ensure that Burbank's allocation is used strategically and accountably - that the community organizations and residents who need it most are the ones who benefit. More broadly, understanding how federal and local government interact at the program level is something I care about deeply, and this committee would give me a meaningful way to contribute to that work while learning the Burbank community from the inside.

Landlord-Tenant 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 addition to my prior experience working for a real estate developer and landlord in both administrative and accounting roles—where I handled tenant-related matters involving current, prospective, and former tenants—I now bring nearly four years of direct experience serving on the Landlord-Tenant Commission for the City of Burbank. Through this role, I have worked closely with local residents, landlords, and tenants, assisting in the review and resolution of a wide range of housing-related matters.

This combination of industry background and commission experience has strengthened my ability to assess situations objectively, interpret relevant guidelines, and contribute effectively as cases come before the Commission.

What are your goals in serving on this Board/Commission/Committee? My goal in serving on the Landlord-Tenant Commission for the City of Burbank is to continue assisting residents in navigating housing-related concerns in a way that is fair, balanced, and solution-oriented. I aim to build on the experience I’ve gained during my first term by contributing to the mediation and resolution of disputes, while ensuring that both tenants and landlords feel heard and understood. I also intend to continue applying my working knowledge of relevant regulations, including AB 1482 and the Brown Act, in a practical and consistent way as cases come before the Commission. At this stage, my focus is on being an effective and reliable contributor, and continuing to serve the community with greater experience and perspective

Item #2

1. Adopt A RESOLUTION OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BURBANK

CALLING FOR THE PLACEMENT OF A CHARTER AMENDMENT MEASURE ON THE NOVEMBER 3, 2026 GENERAL MUNICIPAL ELECTION BALLOT FOR

THE SUBMISSION TO QUALIFIED VOTERS PROPOSED CHARTER

AMENDMENTS THAT WOULD REMOVE THE REQUIREMENT FOR AT-LARGE ELECTIONS OF CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS AND PERMIT THE CITY’S ELECTORAL SYSTEM TO BE SPECIFIED BY ORDINANCE; DIRECTING THE CITY ATTORNEY TO PREPARE AN IMPARTIAL ANALYSIS; AND SETTING

2. Adopt A RESOLUTION OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BURBANK CALLING FOR THE PLACEMENT OF A MEASURE ON THE NOVEMBER 3, 2026 GENERAL MUNICIPAL ELECTION BALLOT FOR THE SUBMISSION TO

QUALIFIED VOTERS A PROPOSED ORDINANCE THAT WOULD CHANGE THE CITY’S ELECTORAL SYSTEM FROM AT-LARGE TO BY-DISTRICT 1008

BACKGROUND
2022 California Voting Rights Act Demand
On August 23, 2022, the City received notice of a potential violation of the California Voting Rights Act (CVRA) on behalf of a Latino voter (Plaintiff) in the City of Burbank. (Elec. Code §§14027-14032.) On January 24, 2023, Council adopted a Resolution of Intent to Initiate a Transition to District Elections and authorized staff to retain National Demographics Corporation (NDC), expert demographers serving local governments in California in successful districting, to guide the process.

With NDC, staff developed a robust timeline of workshops and public hearings for the districting process. Also directed by Council, staff and a communications partner delivered substantial and wide-reaching outreach to the community regarding the process and opportunities to engage.

Council held two pre-map public hearings on March 14, 2023, and April 11, 2023, with 2 ELECTIONS WITH RESPECT TO ELECTING CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS, ESTABLISHING DISTRICT BOUNDARIES BY ADOPTING MAP 130, AND SCHEDULING ELECTIONS WITHIN THE DISTRICTS; DIRECTING THE CITY ATTORNEY TO PREPARE AN IMPARTIAL ANALYSIS; AND SETTING RULES

AND DEADLINES FOR ARGUMENTS AND REBUTTALS FOR AND AGAINST THE MEASURE (Attachment 2).

3. Adopt A RESOLUTION OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BURBANK,

REQUESTING THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF THE COUNTY OF LOS

ANGELES ORDER THE CONSOLIDATION OF A GENERAL MUNICIPAL
ELECTION TO BE HELD TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 3, 2026 WITH THE

STATEWIDE GENERAL ELECTION TO BE HELD IN THE COUNTY OF LOS

ANGELES THE SAME DAY INCLUDING CHARTER AMENDMENT AND
ORDINANCE FOR BY-DISTRICT ELECTIONS MEASURES; TO AUTHORIZE

THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF THE COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES TO CANVASS THE RETURNS OF SAID GENERAL MUNICIPAL ELECTION; AND

TO REQUEST THAT THE REGISTRAR-RECORDER/COUNTY CLERK OF SAID

COUNTY BE PERMITTED TO RENDER FULL SERVICES TO THE CITY OF

BURBANK RELATING TO THE CONDUCT OF SAID GENERAL MUNICIPAL ELECTION PURSUANT TO CALIFORNIA ELECTIONS CODE SECTIONS 10403 AND 10418 (Attachment 3).

4. Authorize the City Council to create a Subcommittee consisting of the Mayor and Vice Mayor to prepare an argument in favor or against each measure, and if necessary, submit a Rebuttal.
three community forums on March 30, April 6, and April 8. Prior to the initial June 2 1009

deadline, 26 draft maps were submitted with 14 submissions in a “Draw Your Neighborhood” tool. On June 14, 2023, Council held its first public hearing to consider maps submitted by the June 2 deadline. At that hearing, Council considered the maps submitted and provided direction to staff and the demographer on specific focus maps.

At Council’s direction, the City hosted five additional community forums on June 15, 22 (one virtual and one live), 24 and 29 to allow constituents multiple opportunities to discuss and debate Council’s five “focus” maps and other direction provided at the June 14 hearing. The City received thirteen additional maps and one more “Draw Your Neighborhood” submission by the second July 7 deadline.

Council held a fourth public hearing July 18 at which it considered the additional submissions. At that hearing, Council directed the demographer to create two variations of Map 130. The demographer created four variations, two more than requested by the City Council to allow for discussion of the potential consequences of the directions provided by the Council. Each variation included a proposed sequencing in which the districts depicted in the map would be up for election, either in the presidential election year or the gubernatorial election year. Map 130 and its variations with corresponding sequencing proposals were posted on Burbank’s redistricting website on July 28, 2023. (Additional information on the process, community forums, public hearings, and more is available on the City’s districting website at
https://burbankcouncildistricting.squarespace.com/.)
August 23, 2023 Public Hearing and Consideration of Map 130 Council considered Map 130 and its variants at a public hearing on August 23, 2023.

Council did not assign a final sequencing of elections in the districts of Map 130 or of any of its variations. Rather, Council directed staff to return for future discussion following the outcome of the California Supreme Court decision in the Pico Neighborhood Ass’n v. City of Santa Monica case. On August 24, 2023, the California Supreme Court issued its opinion.

Considering the Supreme Court’s expansive discussion of alternative electoral systems as remedial options in a CVRA case, on October 3, 2023, the Burbank City Council unanimously declined to adopt a districting ordinance and directed staff to evaluate the availability and impact of cumulative voting within the City’s existing at-large election system. A unanimous motion gave the following instructions to staff:
3 a. Contact the Los Angeles County Clerk regarding the feasibility of cumulative voting for residents and return with a first-step report on cumulative voting that addresses any expected impact on voter representation in Burbank. b. Direct the Charter Review Committee to consider the size and composition of the Council, consider various iterations of districts, the possibility of a separately elected Mayor, and a re-districting process. 1010

Before staff could execute the direction, the Plaintiff filed litigation. 2023 California Voting Rights Act Lawsuit and Settlement Plaintiff filed a lawsuit against the City on October 19, 2023, alleging two causes of action, for violations of the CVRA and the Equal Protection Clause of the California Constitution.

The cause of action for violation of the Equal Protection Clause of the California Constitution was subsequently dismissed with prejudice.

On February 23, 2026, the City participated in court-ordered pretrial mediation, resulting in a settlement of the lawsuit. Relative to the actions that are the subject of this report, the terms of the agreement include:

1. Place a charter amendment measure on the November 2026 ballot to permit the Council or voters to determine by ordinance the method of election of Council members.

2. Place an Ordinance to enact Map 130 from the 2023 districting process on the November 2026 ballot with a sequence of elections adopted by Council on June

30. Map 130 is in Exhibit B to Attachment 2 to this report.

3. Provide that if voters approve both the charter amendment measure and the Ordinance for by-district elections using Map 130, district elections will be held for City Council members in 2028 and 2030. Thereafter, Council or the voters have the authority to change the method of election to any legally permissible system.

4. Relieve the City of further obligations under the settlement if the voters reject either measure, and bars this plaintiff from suing Burbank again under the CVRA.

On June 30, 2026, the Council held a public hearing on options for sequencing of elections for Map 130 districts as required by Elections Code § 10010(b). Following review of and discussion about four potential options, the Council selected “Option 1” as the sequencing to be applied to Map 130. Under Option 1, Districts 3 and 4 would be on the ballot in 2028 and Districts 1, 2, and 5 would be on the ballot in 2030. The Council ordered that the numbering on Map 130 be adjusted so that the even-numbered districts are on the ballot in the gubernatorial election year, and the odd-numbered districts are on the ballot in the presidential election year.

DISCUSSION

CHARTER AMENDMENTS
Sections 300 and 305 of the Burbank City Charter provide for the at-large election of City Council members. These sections can only be changed by Burbank voter approval. 4 c. Invite the prospective plaintiff who sent the City the August 23, 2022 notice of a potential violation of the CVRA to participate in the discussion to ensure any potential outcome address the concerns posed by the notice. 1011

In accordance with the settlement agreement, Resolution #1 places on the ballot for voter approval Charter Amendments that would eliminate the mandate for at-large elections of City Council members and instead permit the Council or the voters to change the method of election of City Council members by duly enacted ordinance (Attachment 1). The proposed Charter Amendment is Exhibit A to the Resolution. Future change of the method of election could be by an Ordinance of the Council or an initiative Ordinance proposed by voters.

ORDINANCE ADOPTING MAP 130, PUBLIC HEARING, AND SEQUENCING OF ELECTIONS IN MAP 130
In accordance with the settlement agreement, Resolution #2 calls for an election on an Ordinance for the adoption of Map 130 from the 2023 districting process, thus allowing voters to decide whether they want district elections for Council Members. In accordance with instructions of Council, the numbering on Map 130 (Exhibit B to Attachment 2) is adjusted so that the even-numbered districts are on the ballot in the gubernatorial election year starting in 2028, and the odd-numbered districts are on the ballot in the presidential election year starting in 2030.

For district elections to become the electoral system for Burbank City Council members, the voters must approve both the Charter amendments and the Ordinance adopting Map 130.

RESOLUTION REQUESTING CONSOLIDATION OF ELECTIONS WITH THE

STATEWIDE GENERAL ELECTION
California Elections Code § 10403 and BMC § 2-3-117 permit municipal elections to be consolidated with statewide elections and to be conducted as one election on the same day. Resolution #3 requests the County of Los Angeles Board of Supervisors (Board of Supervisors) consolidate the election and for full election services for the General Municipal Election be performed by the Los Angeles County Registrar-Recorder/County (County) Clerk (Attachment 3). The Burbank City Clerk's Office will continue to perform all campaign filing and ballot measure filing duties.

Consolidation also allows election precincts, vote centers, and election officers to be the same, and the County Elections Department to canvass the returns of the election to be certified and provided to the Burbank City Clerk within 30 days of the election pursuant to California Elections Code § 15372. The Burbank City Clerk shall present the results of the election to Council at the first regular City Council meeting following receipt of the official election certification (BMC § 2-3-146).

The Resolution requests the Board of Supervisors issue any necessary instruction to the County Elections Department to take all steps necessary for the holding of the 5 1012

consolidated election. The Burbank City Clerk is the City’s Elections Official authorized and directed to work with the County Elections Department as necessary and appropriate.

If additional costs are incurred by the County for the purpose of this consolidation, the City of Burbank agrees to reimburse the County for said costs.

ARGUMENTS IN FAVOR/AGAINST EACH MEASURE
For measures placed on the ballot by the Council, Elections Code Section 9282(b) provides that the Council or a member or members of the Council authorized by the Council may file a written argument for or against any City measure. In the event Council elects not to write an argument for or against either Measure, preference and priority is given as relevant first to a bona fide association of citizens, then to any individual voters who are eligible to vote on the Measure (Elections Code Section 9287).

As such, staff recommends that Council consider appointing an ad hoc subcommittee of the Mayor and Vice Mayor, consistent with recent past practice, to prepare an argument in favor of the Charter Amendment Measure and against the By-District Measure.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
This activity involves organizational and administrative activities of the government related to election procedures and eligibility requirements, and such internal procedural and eligibility changes have no potential for resulting in either a direct physical change in the environment, or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment. As such, this action is not a “project” subject to the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) 14 Cal. Code Regs § 15378.

FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact associated with this report.

CONCLUSION
To execute the settlement agreement, staff recommends Council adopt the three Resolutions. Upon completion, staff recommends Council consider appointing an ad hoc subcommittee to consider drafting arguments in favor or against each measure.

D. Prior to the initial June 2 deadline for submission of draft districting maps, 26 draft maps were submitted with 14 submissions in the “Draw Your Neighborhood” tool.

E. On June 14, 2023, Council held its first public hearing to consider draft maps submitted by the June 2 deadline.

G. The City received 13 additional maps and one more “Draw Your Neighborhood” submission by the second July 7 deadline.

1 1020

ATTACHMENT 2
I. Map 130 and the four variations created by NDC each included a proposed sequencing in which the districts depicted in the map would be up for election either in the presidential or in the gubernatorial election year.

J. Map 130 and its variations with corresponding sequencing proposals were posted on Burbank’s redistricting website on July 28, 2023.

K. Council considered Map 130 and its variants at a public hearing August 23 but did not assign final sequencing of elections in the districts of Map 130 or any of its variations.

L. Rather, Council directed staff to return for future discussion following the outcome of the California Supreme Court decision in the Pico Neighborhood Ass’n v. City of Santa Monica case.

M. On August 24, 2023, the California Supreme Court issued its opinion in Pico Neighborhood Ass’n v. City of Santa Monica (2023) 15 Cal.5th 292.

N. Considering the Supreme Court’s expansive discussion of alternative electoral systems as remedial options in a CVRA case, on October 3, 2023, the City Council unanimously declined to adopt a districting ordinance and directed staff to evaluate the availability and impact of cumulative voting in the City’s existing at-large election system.

P. On October 19, 2023, the Plaintiff filed a lawsuit against the City alleging two causes of action, for violations of the CVRA and the Equal Protection Clause of the California Constitution (the second was subsequently dismissed with prejudice).

Q. On February 23, 2026, the City participated in court-ordered pretrial mediation which resulted in a settlement of the CVRA lawsuit.

R. The settlement agreement included a provision for placing a Charter 2 1021

ATTACHMENT 2
amendment measure on the ballot permitting a change in the City’s electoral system from its current at-large method, to a district-based method in which City Council members are required to be residents of their respective electoral districts and are nominated and elected by the residents of their respective electoral districts.

S. The settlement agreement also included a provision for placing an Ordinance on the ballot for voter approval, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, to change the City’s electoral system from at-large to by-district elections for City Council members, establishing district boundaries by adopting Map 130, and scheduling elections within the districts.

T. The settlement agreement reserved to Council full discretion to decide the sequencing of elections in the districts depicted in Map 130.

U. On June 30, 2026, the Council held a public hearing on sequencing of elections in the districts depicted in Map 130.

V. At the close of the public hearing, Council resolved that Districts 3 and 4 will appear on the ballot at the general municipal election in November 2028, with the remaining districts on the ballot at the general municipal election in November 2030.

W. Council also instructed staff to adjust the numbering on Map 130 so that even-numbered districts are on the ballot in the gubernatorial election year starting in 2028, and odd-numbered districts are on the ballot in the presidential election year starting in 2030.

X. Exhibit B to this ordinance reflects Map 130 with district numbers adjusted as instructed by Council so that Districts 2 (formerly District 3) and 4 are on the ballot in the gubernatorial election year starting in 2028, and Districts 1, 3 (formerly District 2) and 5 are on the ballot in the presidential election year starting in 2030.

Y. The proposed Measure is not a project under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to 14 CCR Section 15061(b)(3) because it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity of placing this ordinance on the ballot for voter approval and implementation of the ordinance, if adopted, may have a significant effect on the environment. (See also CEQA Guidelines, Section 15378(b)(5).) THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BURBANK DOES ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:

1 STAFF REPORT
DATE: July 21, 2026
TO: Justin Hess, City Manager
FROM: Courtney Padgett, Assistant City Manager
BY: Cathryn LaBrado, Assistant to the City Manager
SUBJECT: Appointment of a City Council Member to the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority San Fernando Valley Service Council for a Three-Year Term

RECOMMENDATION
Appoint a member of the City Council to the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro) San Fernando Valley Service Council for a three-year term of July 1, 2026 - June 30, 2029.

BACKGROUND
The Metro San Fernando Valley Service Council advises the Metro Board of Directors and staff on service, planning, and implementation of bus service within the San Fernando Valley. The Service Council meets every first Wednesday of the month and holds public hearings on proposed bus service changes, providing community members an opportunity to provide direct input on bus service matters. The City Council appoints one representative to the Service Council. Members receive a stipend of $100 per meeting, for up to two meetings per month.

DISCUSSION
On an annual basis, following City Council’s reorganization, the Council engages in a discussion resulting in the appointment of Council members to serve as committee members and liaisons to various boards, commissions, committees, and task forces.

During the appointment discussion at the January 13, 2026 City Council meeting, Council did not appoint a member to the Metro San Fernando Valley Service Council (Service Council) as there was not a seat available at that time. The two seats shared among the Cities of Burbank, Glendale, and San Fernando were occupied by representatives from Reports to Council
Item #3
1042
2 Glendale and San Fernando, consistent with the longstanding practice of rotating appointments among the three cities.

As of June 30, 2026, the City of San Fernando’s three-year term from July 1, 2023 – June 30, 2026 concluded and the City of Glendale’s representative (term July 1, 2024 – June 30, 2027) transferred to a seat nominated by the Los Angeles Mayor’s Officer. With two seats available and to formalize the longstanding rotation practice and ensure equitable representation among the cities, the nominating authorities have agreed to a formal rotation schedule under which each will serve two consecutive three-year terms on the Service Council, followed by one three-year term off. Under this rotation, Burbank’s two consecutive terms will be from July 1, 2026 – June 30, 2029 and July 1, 2029 – June 30, 2032. Burbank will then rotate off the Service Council from July 1, 2032 through June 30, 2035.

The appointment being considered by Council will serve July 1, 2026 – June 30, 2029.

Consistent with Council’s annual appointment process, the appointment for the subsequent term of July 1, 2029 – June 30, 2032 will be considered during the Council’s annual committee and liaison appointments in January 2029.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
This activity has no potential for resulting in either a direct physical change in the environment, or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment, and as such, is not a “project” subject to the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) 14 Cal. Code Regs § 15378.

FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact associated with this report.

CONCLUSION
Staff recommends that Council appoint a member of the City Council to serve on the Metro San Fernando Valley Service Council for a three-year term of July 1, 2026 - June 30, 2029.
