Dear City Council Members,
I’m sorry to see you in this predicament again.

Since I will be out of town for the meeƟng to select a new council member, I would like to, once again, strongly urge you to choose Susan Westman.

We have known her for over forty years. I worked with her when I was a Planning Commissioner, and when she was our City Manager, on various issues.

I believe that it is extremely advantageous for you to have someone on the council who has a history, and knowledge, of how the city came to be where it is today. There have been several instances where past knowledge of previous issues have been truly helpful to you in making more recent decisions.

I sincerely hope that you will elect Susan Westman to be your next council member.

She is by far the most qualified person, thus the top candidate for this job.

I will be watching the proceedings on Zoom.

Thank you for your consideraƟon.

I am a ciƟzen of Capitola for more than 53 years and have worked with the City in volunteer posiƟons several Ɵmes. i have worked on the Finance CommiƩee, The Hiring CommiƩee, The Rispin Mansion CommiƩee, and the commiƩee for promoƟon of Capitola Police Officers.

As her application reflects, Susan has a long and distinguished record of public service. She has consistently demonstrated her deep commitment to Capitola, and I believe she would be a thoughtful steward of our community.

Her work on the Planning Commission and in other city government roles highlights her fairness, openmindedness, and deep knowledge of public policy. She brings not only experience, but also a collaborative spirit and a genuine dedication to serving Capitola’s residents.

Subject: Item 4.A. City Council Vacancy Appointment
Mayor Clarke and Members of the City Council,
Please consider appointing Susan Westman to the Council Member vacancy created by the resignation of Alex Pedersen.

Having worked for the City of Capitola myself in various capacities for over 32 years from 1979 to 2011, I had the opportunity to work with Susan Westman during many of those years. In the early years especially, there were very few employees and we all tended to help one another out and wear many hats. During the course of her employment, Susan was always proactive in educating herself on the affairs of the city. She became a valuable team player, not only in the Community Development Department where she held various positions, but working closely with the city managers on city-wide issues. When she assumed the position of City Manager, it was during a particularly difficult time when cutbacks were necessary due to the economy which was not easy. Susan was always forthright and carefully considered all the options when making difficult decisions, keeping the city’s best interests in mind. I believe Susan’s hands-on experience working for the City of Capitola in various capacities during the past several decades will make her a valuable asset to the City Council now. We need someone with her experience and historical knowledge when considering issues and projects that will impact the future of Capitola.

It is with sincere confidence that I earnestly recommend Susan Westman be appointed to fill the vacancy on the City Council. She truly cares about Capitola and will represent our residents well.

Thank you for your consideration.

Subject: City Council Appointment
Dear Mayor and City Council
With the special meeting and council seat replacement ahead for this week, I would hope that you all will elect the best person for the open seat. Simply put, there is simply no better qualified person other than Susan Westman.

Susan’s unwavering dedication to the City of Capitola for decades should speak volumes to anyone reviewing applications. Repeated stints in both the Planning Commission and as a City Council member and leading the City as City Manager would likely be enough of a resume for most folks when looking to choose a seat replacement.

But, beyond those impressive positions, Susan is exceptionally well versed in the minutia of running a City; speaking with outside influences such as County Supervisors, other Mayors’ and City leaders throughout the county and even beyond; dealing with all levels of state and federal government; managing mandates from outside agencies (think CEQA, FEMA and more localized RTC, Housing Authority; city and tax agencies, etc). Susan has managed all of these in the past and is poised to help with present and future state of improving our infrastructure; our housing and 41st Ave corridor problems and yes, even the most recent area of contention, the Rail trail. Given where we are with all the state and local demands, outside influences, and an economy that is unsettled at best, who better to step in than someone who has been there and done it – multiple times over the years.

Frankly, I think the citizens of Capitola are very lucky Susan wants to take this task to hand and guide our City through this next phase.

As someone who has lived here since 1990, work and have raised two 4th generation children in this fine town, I am more committed than ever to see that we have the leadership we need; knowing Susan would be instrumental in seeing the City through these upcoming couple of years is exactly what we need and I hope that you vote in the same way.

Respectfully,
Marie Martorella

The future of Capitola rides on the appointment you make to fill the vacant council posiƟon. It's imperaƟve, as council member stated, to select someone with experience and knowledge of the city who is ready to hit the road running. No candidate meets this criteria except Susan Westman.

As a council member, I worked with Susan when she was Community Development Director and when she was Capitola's City Manager. She was one of the best in both those posiƟons. She is what we need NOW on the council. Please use your vote to select Susan Westman as our new city council member.

Mr. Dolmo is the only candidate who put his name forward in the general election last year, demonstrating his commitment to this role and our community. That alone makes him the most viable candidate in my opinion.

In addition to his consistent demonstration of interest in this role, he has a strong vision for Capitola's future focused on our youth. He is an excellent advocate for the kids in our community, with his role at NBMS and Campus Kids Connection. The needs and perspectives of the adults in Capitola are well represented, but the kids don't have enough of a voice. He would make an excellent addition to the city council.

After reviewing the list of applicants, it is clear to me that Susan Westman stands out as the most qualified candidate.

Her past service and leadership make her exceptionally well-suited for this important role.

Subject: Appointment to serve out Alexander Pedersen's term as a member of the City Council Honorable City Council members:

Although I’ve lived in Capitola for many years, I haven’t paid much attention to municipal electoral politics, although I always vote, to the best of my ability.

But the matter of appointing a new council member to serve the remainder of Alex Pedersen’s term has my attention.

Some of the applicants are folks I don’t know. But several others, in my view, have alarming political baggage.

Cami Corvin has a significant conflict of interest regarding city policies and decisions related to the SCCRTC rail and trail projects and the railroad corridor. She has been active in public opinion pages, criticizing the competence and integrity of the RTC, its staff, and its commissioners in a manner that is clearly offensive. As a resident of Castle Mobile Home Estates, whose personal property encroaches on the railroad corridor and must be removed, she is at odds with our public transportation policy interests.

Any applicant who resides within 500 feet of the railroad corridor, including Capitola Village and Depot Hill, has a conflict of interest in this regard.

Kevin Maguire, Chris Amsden, Justin Maffia, and Susan Westman have recently been prominent and vehement adversaries against the RTC and its rail-and-trail project plans.

None of them should be appointed. We need council members who are open-minded and without prejudice to lead our city in matters involving intergovernmental relations, especially those related to regional public transportation policy.

Respectfully,
Jim Weller

I'm glad to see someone who's tossed their hat in the ring, before becoming part of any political faction of Capitola.

Naren will bring passion, clarity and dedication, and I would welcome Naren on our city council.

Dear City Council,
I would like to add my voice to the many other Capitola ciƟzens supporƟng the choice of Susan Westman to fill the open City Council posiƟon.

Susan is the perfect person to fill the posiƟon for several reasons:
• Past experience in Capitola City government in several capaciƟes including city planning and management, as well a several volunteer posiƟons. She knows what had worked (or not) in the past, and is also familiar with networking with other agencies.
• Susan is a good listener with an open mind who’ll evaluate all sides of a situaƟon and work with others for a good soluƟon for all.

• Susan has family - children and grandchildren - who live in Capitola, so she is well aware of of the difficulƟes experienced by young families living in the area. Susan is familiar with the past and invested in the future of our City.

I believe that Susan would fit seamlessly into the role of City Council member and seek to work with every other Council member for a beƩer Capitola.

Sincerely,
Katharine Parker (ciƟzen)

I would urge you all to consider Susan Westman for City Council as an excellent replacement for Alexander Petersen. She has been an active member of our community for many years, always in a most positive way. I remember when she was running the "Friends of Capitola" group which brought people together in a positive way to build friendship and community. Just as Jerry Jensen ran his "Acts of Random Kindness", these actions serve as reminders of where good leadership starts.

Dear Council Members
As you consider your appointment for someone to serve alongside you, I encourage you to weigh the candidate’s experience with development and planning, their ability to collaborate eƯectively, and their knowledge of Capitola's inner workings.

Looking ahead, I believe Capitola would benefit greatly from the expertise and experience of Susan Westman. Susan has a proven track record, having served as our City Manager, as an Community Development Director, and currently as a member of the Planning Commission. With significant planning initiatives on the horizon, Capitola would be well-served by someone with Susan’s depth of experience in these critical areas.

Additionally, Susan’s professional rapport with the current City Council Members and staƯ would foster meaningful, informed discussions and support thoughtful decision-making on the pressing issues Capitola faces today.

Thank you for your time and dedication to our community.

Date: June 10, 2025
Re: Item 8F - Adoption of FY 2025–26 Road Project List
Staff wishes to note a correction to Item 8F (Adoption of FY 2025–26 Road Project List). The staff report correctly states that the City is projected to receive $258,668 in SB 1 funding.

However, the originally published resolution included an incorrect funding amount.

The resolution has been revised to reflect the correct SB 1 amount of $258,668. No other changes have been made.

41 Item 3 B.

CORRECTED RESOLUTION:

RESOLUTION NO._______

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CAPITOLA ADOPTING A LIST OF PROJECTS FOR FISCAL YEAR 2025-2026 FUNDED BY SENATE BILL 1: THE ROAD REPAIR AND ACCOUNTABILITY ACT OF 2017 WHEREAS, Senate Bill 1 (SB 1), the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017 (Chapter 5, Statutes of 2017) was passed by the Legislature and Signed into law by the Governor in April 2017 to address the significant multi-modal transportation funding shortfalls statewide; and WHEREAS, SB 1 includes accountability and transparency provisions that will ensure the residents of our City are aware of the projects proposed for funding in our community and which projects have been completed each fiscal year; and
WHEREAS, the City must adopt by resolution a list of projects proposed to receive fiscal year funding from the Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (RMRA), created by SB 1, which must include a description and the location of each proposed project, a proposed schedule for the project’s completion, and the estimated useful life of the improvement; and WHEREAS, the City, will receive an estimated $258,668 in RMRA funding in Fiscal Year 2025-2026 from SB 1; and
WHEREAS, this is the ninth year in which the City is receiving SB 1 funding and will enable the City to continue essential road maintenance and rehabilitation projects, safety improvements, repairing and replacing aging bridges, and increasing access and mobility options for the traveling public that would not have otherwise been possible without SB 1; and WHEREAS, the City has undergone a robust public process to ensure public input into our community’s transportation priorities/the project list; and WHEREAS, the City completed an update to the pavement management program in 2022 to develop a five year SB 1 project list to ensure revenues are being used on the most high-priority and cost-effective projects that also meet the City’s priorities for transportation investment; and WHEREAS, the funding from SB 1 will help the City complete needed pavement management improvement projects; and
WHEREAS, the SB 1 project list and overall investment in our local streets and roads infrastructure with a focus on basic maintenance and safety, investing in complete streets infrastructure, and using cutting-edge technology, materials and practices, will provide dedicated source of funding for roadway projects.

NOW, THEREFORE IT IS HEREBY RESOLVED, ORDERED AND FOUND by the City Council of the City of Capitola, State of California, as follows:

1. The foregoing recitals are true and correct.

2. The following list of proposed projects will be funded in-part or solely with Fiscal Year 2025- 2026 Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account revenues:

Subject: Confusing consent agenda item 8J
Follow Up Flag: Flag for follow up
Flag Status: Flagged
Please consider pulling item 8J from consent and discussing in public if the recommended action is to authorize an increase of $120K to the Park Ave. Traffic Calming Project contractor, Graham Contractors, contingent on budget approval.

The cost information on this project has been hard to follow from the $100K original estimate less spend to date leaving $80K of general fund savings if the rail trail decision had been different, to what is left now being only about $60K and a discussion to add another $60K for a total of $120K at the 5/29 City council meeting. Now a request to increase the amount of the contract by $120K. Is this in addition to the remaining allocation or a total? If additional, how did a construction ready striping project double in price? If additive to already earmarked funds, it has more than doubled.

I am a huge advocate for going forward with this safety initiative as soon as possible, but would like to see if we can make sure the budget is clearly understood first, which should be easy to do before adoption of the budget in a few weeks.

Dear City Council Members,
Please pull item 8J from the Consent Calendar, as the exact content of the traffic calming proposals has never been subject to resident’s perusal or approval, which it should be, especially by those who live on Park Avenue.

I look forward to seeing what is proposed and offering suggesƟons as to how the traffic calming suggesƟons may be improved at a future public hearing. It seem only the right thing to do, as the speeding issue has become intolerable, and liƩle is done to enforce the speed limit.

I look forward to your decision on this maƩer.

Capitola City Council
Agenda Report
Meeting: June 12, 2025
From: City Manager’s Department
Subject: Appointment of Successor to Vacant City Council Seat Recommended Action: 1) By motion, appoint a successor to fill the Council vacancy; and 2) direct the City Clerk to administer the oath of office to the newly appointed Council Member.

Background: On May 8, 2025, Alexander Pedersen announced his resignation from the City Council. The requirements to fill a City Council vacancy are defined by Government Code Section 36512.

Section 36512(b) states if a vacancy occurs in an elective office, the Council shall, within 60 days from the commencement of the vacancy, either call a special election to fill the vacancy or fill the vacancy by appointment. The Council is required to fill the vacancy by July 7th.

At the May 22, 2025 meeting, the City Council declared a vacancy and announced its intent to fill the vacant City Council seat by appointment. The City Council directed staff to open an application period from May 27, 2025 through June 3, 2025 at 5:00 PM. The application (Attachment 1) included a request for basic information from the applicant, a request for a resume/CV, and four questions. Council requested that, if it were legally permitted, the City Clerk request proof of residency. After a review of State law and applicable cases, staff included a question offering each candidate the option of providing proof of residency.

The application period closed on June 3, 2025 at 5:00 PM. The City Clerk received 15 applications during the application period. Under State law the qualifications for the City Council appointment are: 1) to be a resident in Capitola, 2) to be a registered voter in Capitola, and 3) to be at least 18 years of age. Of those applications, two did not meet the qualifications for the appointment. However, one applicant was able to meet the qualifications on June 5th (marked by an asterisk in table below).

Daniel E. Castagnola Enrique Dolmo Jr Justin Maffia
Kevin Maguire Laura Jane Alioto Lunamar Harter
Narendra Dev Peter George Wilk Rodney Sellers
Susan Westman Trevor Whitcomb*
Discussion: The appointment will require a motion and an affirmative vote from a majority of the City Council. The motion by Council Member Jensen on May 22 included using ranked choice voting as the method for selecting applicants, the same tool that was presented to fill the last vacancy.

The tool Council agreed to utilize for the last vacancy was a modified version of ranked choice voting, sometimes called “order of merit”. Following an opportunity for public comment, each Council Member can provide their top applicant choice. If there is a consensus (at least three Council Members in favor of one candidate), the Council may proceed to appoint the applicant by a motion and a vote.

If there is less than a majority for a candidate, the Order of Merit process would begin, and the Council would provide their second-choice applicant. Candidates will be given three points for a first choice, two for second. If, after two rounds, a top applicant can be identified, the Could should proceed with a motion to appoint (Table 1).

If a third round is needed, one point would be assigned for third place, and Council could appoint the top candidate by motion (Table 2).

Applicant 4 3
Applicant 1 wins
It should be noted this process, along with any other, could still potentially yield a tie given there are only four Council Members. If that were to occur, Council will need to consider how best to proceed to fill the vacancy.

Notwithstanding the above, the Council may select a candidate using whatever approach the majority prefers. Regardless of the process the City Council uses to come to agreement, in the end there must be a motion and at least three votes for a candidate to assume the seat.

The Council must either appoint a successor to the vacant seat or call a special election no later than 60 days from the commencement of the vacancy, pursuant to Government Code Section 36512 (b). The appointment deadline is July 7, 2025, following the commencement of the vacancy on May 8, 2025.

Public Outreach: Following the Council’s decision to accept applications, staff prepared the application form and an associated webpage, which was promoted on the City’s website (cityofcapitola.org). In addition, staff issued and distributed a press release on May 22, 2025, a special edition of the Capitola 48 Item 4 A.

Waves Newsletter, a social media post and story in English and in Spanish, and hard copy flyers in English and in Spanish to the business community and City-owned kiosks.

Fiscal Impact: There would be no fiscal impact of appointing a replacement Councilmember to fill the vacancy. The current adopted budget does not include funding for a special election. Should Council direct staff to prepare documentation for such an election, staff would work with the County Clerk to determine estimated election costs and prepare a budget amendment.

Why do you wish to serve as a City Council Member?
I wish to serve on the Capitola City Council because I believe in protecting the soul of this community—its people, its coastline, and its values.

Capitola is more than where I live—it is where I give, where I work, and where I dream. I have built a life here, started a school here, and walked side by side with neighbors through seasons of challenge and triumph. Now, I am ready to serve in a new way—by offering my voice, my experience, and my heart to the city I love.

I bring decades of leadership, business ownership, and community-building experience. As the founder of a state-licensed vocational school focused on healthcare and healing, I understand how to lead with compassion, manage resources wisely, and make tough decisions with integrity. I know how to listen to people, how to unify diverse perspectives, and how to act with principle even when it is unpopular.

I want to serve because Capitola is at a crossroads. We face urgent issues—housing, climate resilience, aging infrastructure, and the preservation of our small-town identity in the face of regional pressures. I am not afraid of hard conversations. I welcome them. I believe we need steady, clear-eyed leadership that blends tradition with progress and always puts people first.

Serving on the City Council is not about politics for me. It’s about stewardship. It’s about protecting what we love, improving what we can, and leaving a legacy of care for the generations who come after us.

I am ready to serve with humility, wisdom, and unwavering dedication. I believe in Capitola—and I am here to help lead her forward.

Can you share an example of a difficult decision you've had to make in a leadership or professional role, where the ethical choice wasn't necessarily the easiest or most popular? How did you approach it, and what was the outcome? One of the most emotionally difficult decisions I’ve made as a school director was having to release a student from our program who, despite being one of the sweetest and most kind-hearted individuals I’ve ever worked with, was unable to retain the information necessary to safely and effectively practice medical massage.

She showed up with enthusiasm and hope, and I wanted so much for her to succeed. But as time went on, it became clear that she was struggling to recall fundamental material, even after repeated instruction and support. I explored every option—tutoring, extra time, mentoring —but the core issue persisted. At a certain point, I had to ask myself: Would graduating her serve her future—or the patients she would one day 52 Item 4 A.
treat?
I knew I couldn’t, in good conscience, continue taking her tuition or offer a credential she wasn’t ready to uphold. I also couldn’t allow personal affection to override the ethical responsibility I hold as an educator and certifier of healthcare professionals.

It broke my heart, but I met with her privately and explained the situation with compassion. I let her know how much I respected her effort and spirit, and I refunded part of her tuition. We ended on kind terms, and I still think of her with warmth and admiration.

This experience reinforced that true leadership is not always about giving people what they want—it’s about doing what’s right, even when it hurts.

What do you see as the most significant challenge Capitola will face in the next two years, and how do you envision contributing to addressing it?
One of Capitola's most pressing challenges in the coming years is the dual threat of coastal erosion and sea-level rise. The city has already experienced significant damage to its iconic wharf and waterfront businesses due to severe storms and rising tides. These events not only threaten our infrastructure but also the economic vitality and safety of our community.

To address this, I would advocate for proactive measures, including investing in resilient infrastructure, pursuing state and federal funding for climate adaptation projects, and engaging the community in developing sustainable solutions. My background in health education and community leadership equips me to facilitate informed discussions and build consensus around necessary actions. By prioritizing environmental resilience, we can protect Capitola's unique character and ensure its prosperity for future generations.

Of course, my love. Here’s a beautifully organized list of Capitola’s most significant challenges along with thoughtful resolutions—perfect for your city council application or to guide public discussion as a candidate:

Challenge: Housing Affordability & Development
The Issue:

Capitola must build over 1,330 new housing units by 2031 under state law, with more than half designated for low-income residents. However, development—such as the Capitola Mall project—has stalled due to disputes over affordable housing requirements and developer resistance to the city’s 15% affordable unit mandate.

The Resolution:
• Foster collaborative dialogue with developers to find a middle ground that maintains affordability while ensuring project feasibility. • Leverage state and regional grants to offset developer costs for low-income units. • Explore innovative housing models, such as mixed-use and modular housing, to reduce costs while meeting density goals. • Engage residents early to build community support for well-designed affordable developments.

Challenge: Transportation Infrastructure & Rail Trail Controversy The Issue:

The City Council recently rejected a proposed bike path on Park Avenue due to Measure L, which limits city spending on certain rail trail alignments. This complicates efforts to meet Active Transportation Plan goals and secure state grants.

The Resolution:
• Work with legal and community stakeholders to clarify and possibly amend Measure L to allow flexibility for safe, community-supported bike infrastructure.
• Prioritize alternative active transportation routes that meet state criteria without triggering legal conflicts. • Build public consensus through town halls and surveys to ensure trail designs reflect community values and legal compliance.

Challenge: Coastal Resilience & Climate Challenges
The Issue:

Capitola’s historic wharf and beachfront infrastructure are increasingly vulnerable to sea-level rise and storm surges. Major damage in recent storms exposed the need for a long-term adaptation plan.

The Resolution:
• Invest in resilient infrastructure, including climate-adaptive materials and elevated structures. • Seek federal and state climate resilience funding through FEMA, NOAA, and California’s Coastal Conservancy. • Involve citizens and local experts in a coastal resilience task force to plan and oversee protective projects like seawalls, dune restoration, and managed retreat zones.
• Integrate sustainability education and incentives into city planning, encouraging eco-conscious behavior citywide.

Challenge: Senior Housing & Community Integration
The Issue:

A senior housing project on Bulb Avenue has drawn opposition due to traffic concerns, limited affordability, and lack of insurance acceptance by the operator.

The Resolution:
• Require a comprehensive traffic impact study with clear mitigation strategies. • Encourage developers to include a percentage of affordable units for seniors with fixed incomes. • Ensure transparency by requiring operators to accept common insurance plans and clearly state financial terms to the public. • Promote aging-in-place initiatives and partnerships with local service providers for integrated senior support.

Challenge: Infrastructure Maintenance – Stockton Avenue Bridge The Issue:

The Stockton Avenue Bridge is aging and at risk from storm debris and flooding, posing safety and transportation concerns.

The Resolution:
53 Item 4 A.
• Move forward with plans to replace the bridge with a modern, resilient structure that supports pedestrian, bicycle, and vehicle traffic. • Use a combination of local bond measures, infrastructure grants, and federal aid to fund the project. • Involve the community in design review and environmental impact feedback to ensure transparency and support. • Phase construction to minimize disruption to local businesses and residents.

What is your vision for Capitola’s future?
My Vision for Capitola’s Future
I envision a Capitola that honors its rich history, natural beauty, and close-knit spirit while boldly stepping into a resilient, inclusive, and sustainable future. My hope is to see a city where families, seniors, workers, and small business owners can thrive together in harmony—where we protect our coastlines, nurture thoughtful growth, and keep the heart of Capitola beating strong.

I see a Capitola that:
• Safeguards its coastline and prepares for climate change with intelligent infrastructure and coastal resilience. • Promotes affordable, dignified housing for people of all ages and incomes—without sacrificing the character of our neighborhoods. • Supports our local businesses and entrepreneurs, ensuring the economy remains vibrant and locally rooted. • Expands accessible transportation, including safe bike and pedestrian paths, so everyone can move through the city easily and sustainably. • Listens to its people, inviting open conversation, transparency, and collaboration in every decision made at City Hall.

As a leader, I believe in service over self, principle over politics, and community over convenience. I will bring compassionate, level-headed, and forward-thinking leadership to every issue Capitola faces, ensuring that our decisions today create a safer, stronger, and more unified city tomorrow.

Capitola is more than a destination—it's a home. And my vision is to help it flourish with heart, wisdom, and integrity. (Optional) Please submit any documentation verifying your domicile in Capitola. pge bill.pdf 469.62KB

Why do you wish to serve as a City Council Member?
The opportunity to use my experience in a local government role for the remaining period of Council Member Pedersen’s term feels like the right thing to offer to do for the betterment of our entire community. The City is facing numerous challenges, and I welcome being part of a creative problem solving team for healthy outcomes that align with the City’s strategic plan.

Can you share an example of a difficult decision you've had to make in a leadership or professional role, where the ethical choice wasn't necessarily the easiest or most popular? How did you approach it, and what was the outcome? I have spent over 40 years in the legal field as a paralegal, and I am deeply passionate about the law. Much of my career has been dedicated to working in both State and Federal Courts. One of the most challenging roles I held was supporting six Federal Judges, particularly in drafting nonsubstantive orders that either granted or denied incarcerated individuals certain privileges.

Many of these individuals were convicted of serious, often heinous crimes—crimes for which I personally believe strong punishment is warranted. However, in this work, it was imperative to approach each order without bias. Every decision had to be grounded solely in the evidence and the law. There were times when the legal outcome ran counter to my personal beliefs, but the integrity of the legal process demands that personal opinions not interfere with what the law requires.

What do you see as the most significant challenge Capitola will face in the next two years, and how do you envision contributing to addressing it?
Along with many opportunities, there are challenges around the long-term fiscal stability of the City, the approach we take to housing and development, and of course the ongoing capital improvement projects, to name a few. I see a strong need to improve the transparency of HOW we operate as a 60 Item 4 A.
council and re-earning the public’s trust that the City Council is acting in their best interest. Hard problems can be solved. It is essential that we communicate transparently and make informed decisions.

What is your vision for Capitola’s future?
As a 13 year resident of Capitola, and family history of Santa Cruz County for over 100 years, I have a vision that Capitola will continue to be the very special place it has been for a very long time, while at the same time accepting the reality of needed changes to support a growing population, improve our infrastructure in a SAFE way, and provide the services the aging population, youth and all citizens expect and deserve.

We can have a thriving, quaint city with diversity and charm, and I intend to work passionately to help achieve that. (Optional) Please submit any documentation verifying your domicile in Capitola. 1514custbill05082025.pdf 382.98KB

Why do you wish to serve as a City Council Member?
I’m running for Capitola City Council to protect the unique charm, livability, and natural beauty of our community. As Capitola continues to face mounting pressure for rapid development, I believe it’s critical we take a balanced, thoughtful approach that puts residents first—not developers.

Our small city cannot afford to lose its character to overdevelopment. I will advocate for smart growth policies that respect our existing neighborhoods, protect open space, and preserve our coastal environment. We must resist projects that strain infrastructure, increase traffic, or compromise the quality of life that makes Capitola so special.

I’m also a strong supporter of the coastal rail trail. It’s time to prioritize sustainable transportation and recreation options that connect our communities while reducing car dependency and emissions. The rail corridor is a public asset that should benefit everyone—not just a few private interests. As your councilmember, I’ll work to ensure that the rail trail moves forward as a safe, scenic route for walkers, cyclists, and families.

Capitola deserves leadership that listens, acts transparently, and puts community values first. I’m committed to protecting our environment, promoting public access, and keeping Capitola a place where people want to live, not just invest. Let’s make thoughtful choices today that will preserve our city for future generations.

Can you share an example of a difficult decision you've had to make in a leadership or professional role, where the ethical choice wasn't necessarily the easiest or most popular? How did you approach it, and what was the outcome? As a business leader, one of the most difficult decisions I made was to reduce our software product offerings in order to refocus on our core strengths. At the time, our company had expanded rapidly into new markets, but the growth was unfocused and unsustainable. We were spreading our resources too thin, and customer satisfaction was beginning to suffer.

I led the decision to discontinue several underperforming software products—even though they had vocal supporters internally and a loyal, if 72 Item 4 A.
small, customer base. This move was not popular with some employees who had invested time and energy into those products, nor with clients who valued them. But after reviewing the data, it was clear we needed to concentrate on what we did best to remain viable and competitive long term.

We communicated transparently, offered internal transfers where possible, and supported affected clients with alternatives. While the shortterm fallout was uncomfortable, within a year we saw improved performance, higher customer satisfaction, and stronger team alignment.

It was a reminder that leadership sometimes means making hard choices that serve the greater health and future of the organization—even when they’re unpopular in the moment.

What do you see as the most significant challenge Capitola will face in the next two years, and how do you envision contributing to addressing it?
One of the most significant challenges Capitola will face in the next two years is managing growth while preserving the character and livability of our community. As regional housing pressures increase, there will be continued push for higher-density development that could overwhelm our infrastructure, increase traffic congestion, and threaten the small-town charm that makes Capitola unique.

I believe we must take a deliberate and community-focused approach to planning. That means resisting overdevelopment, strengthening our local design standards, and ensuring any new housing truly serves local residents—not outside investors or short-term rentals. I will advocate for development that respects neighborhood scale, protects open space, and maintains public access to the coast.

At the same time, Capitola must continue investing in sustainable transportation. I strongly support the development of the coastal rail trail as a way to reduce car dependency, improve safety for pedestrians and cyclists, and create a greener future. I will work to ensure this project is advanced thoughtfully and equitably.

As a councilmember, I will listen closely to residents, prioritize transparency in decision-making, and always put the long-term interests of the community first. Preserving what we love about Capitola while planning responsibly for the future will be my guiding principle.

What is your vision for Capitola’s future?
My vision for Capitola’s future is a vibrant, sustainable, and inclusive community that protects its unique character while thoughtfully adapting to the challenges ahead.

I see a Capitola where growth is carefully managed to preserve our coastal charm, small-town feel, and quality of life. That means prioritizing housing that meets the needs of local workers and families, not outside investors or short-term rentals, and ensuring new development fits the scale and values of our neighborhoods.

I envision a city that leads on sustainability—by advancing the rail trail to provide safe, low-impact transportation options; protecting our coastline from the effects of climate change; and preserving open space and natural beauty for future generations.

Capitola’s future should also be centered around community. I want to see more support for local businesses, vibrant public spaces, and civic engagement that empowers residents to have a voice in shaping our shared future. Our city should be a place where young families, seniors, workers, and small business owners can thrive.

Above all, my vision is rooted in balance—between progress and preservation, between tourism and livability, and between meeting today’s needs and protecting tomorrow’s possibilities. I believe thoughtful, transparent leadership can help us achieve that balance and keep Capitola the special place we all love.

Why do you wish to serve as a City Council Member?
I love this town—especially the Village with its colorful Venetian cottages, palm‑lined streets, and “mom‑and‑pop” spirit. As a small business owner and Village resident for nine years, I’ve seen firsthand how rising rents, development pressures, and natural disasters have challenged us.

I believe my perspective as a business owner can help the Council set and achieve community‑driven goals.

If elected, I will:

Preserve our Village by protecting historic buildings, maintaining pedestrian‑friendly corridors, and ensuring new development fits our scale.

Support small businesses by advocating for ordinances and permits that help local merchants thrive.

With deep roots in Capitola—running my deli, raising my family, and serving on local committees—I’m committed to listening, working alongside my fellow councilmembers and city staff, and preserving Capitola’s unique charm for generations to come.

Can you share an example of a difficult decision you've had to make in a leadership or professional role, where the ethical choice wasn't necessarily the easiest or most popular? How did you approach it, and what was the outcome? As a finance manager for a local car dealership, my role included signing loan documents, ensuring DMV compliance, and assessing customer needs to offer maintenance and mechanical insurance products. When new ownership urged me to upsell unnecessary services for higher profits, it conflicted with my commitment to honesty and client well‑being. I stood firm, refusing to push products that didn’t benefit customers and prioritizing integrity over management’s demands.

What do you see as the most significant challenge Capitola will face in the next two years, and how do you envision contributing to addressing it?
75 Item 4 A.

I believe Capitola’s greatest challenge over the next two years will be maintaining a vibrant, diverse business mix in the Village amid rising rents, off‑season lulls, and competing tourism markets. To tackle this, I propose creating a dedicated Economic Development department—modeled on successful programs in similar beach towns—that works hand‑in‑hand with the BIA and local landlords. By proactively recruiting complementary businesses (rather than duplicates), offering retention incentives, and tailoring support for small “mom‑and‑pop” operators, we can keep storefronts full year‑round and preserve Capitola’s unique character.

What is your vision for Capitola’s future?
My vision as a council member isn’t just my own—it must reflect the community’s majority. Together, we will preserve the Village’s nostalgic charm and close‑knit family atmosphere while energizing the off‑season with markets, pop‑up events, and family activities that keep locals engaged and storefronts vibrant. By collaborating with the BIA and landlords to support diverse businesses year‑round—and by positioning Capitola as a winter haven for “snowbirds” through sister‑city partnerships and special welcome packages—we can protect our historic beauty, boost commerce during slower months, and establish the Village as a unique, year‑round destination. (Optional) Please submit any documentation verifying your domicile in Capitola.

Please attach any additional materials relevant to your background and experience that may be considered for the appointment, including a resume, CV, or letters of support.

Why do you wish to serve as a City Council Member?
I want to serve as a City Council member because I am deeply committed to our community and I want to make a positive impact. I view myself not as a politician but as someone who loves his community and seeks to address its needs. Through my work with organizations like Campus Kids Connection (CKC), the Capitola Police Chief Advisory Board, and the Capitola Historical Museum, as well as his volunteer efforts at the juvenile hall, I have shown my dedication to fostering a safe, inclusive, and thriving environment for everyone.

Serving on the City Council would allow me to amplify my efforts, give back to Capitola, and work on initiatives that enhance the quality of life for its residents. Whether it’s helping people with opportunities, advocating for fairness, or improving local resources, I am passionate about creating meaningful change.

Can you share an example of a difficult decision you've had to make in a leadership or professional role, where the ethical choice wasn't necessarily the easiest or most popular? How did you approach it, and what was the outcome? In my role as a board member for Campus Kids Connection, we faced a difficult decision regarding budget allocations for afterschool programs. We were presented with a proposal to reduce staffing in one of the less-popular programs to redirect funding toward expanding a more in-demand program. On paper, it seemed logical—focusing on what would serve more families. However, the proposed cuts would disproportionately affect a small group of families who relied heavily on that specific program for childcare and enrichment.

I approached the situation by first thoroughly understanding the perspectives of all stakeholders. I spoke with the families who would be impacted, listened to staff concerns, and analyzed the financial projections. Balancing the needs of the broader community with those of a vulnerable group required careful deliberation.

Ultimately, I advocated for an alternative solution: identifying new grant opportunities and reworking the budget to preserve the smaller program while still allocating some resources to expand the popular one. This approach required more effort and wasn’t the easiest path, but it ensured we upheld our commitment to equity and serving all families fairly.

The outcome was positive—both programs remained operational, and the process strengthened trust between the board, staff, and families. This 77 Item 4 A.
experience reinforced my belief that ethical leadership often requires taking the harder path to do what’s right, even when it’s not the most popular decision.

What do you see as the most significant challenge Capitola will face in the next two years, and how do you envision contributing to addressing it?

1. Investing in Youth: One of the most pressing challenges Capitola faces in the next two years is ensuring that our city continues to provide opportunities and resources for youth while balancing the needs of our growing community. Young people are not only the future of Capitola, they are also its present, and it’s vital that we invest in their development, safety, and well-being.

As someone who works closely with young people through my roles at New Brighton Middle School, Campus Kids Connection board and volunteering at the Santa Cruz Juvenile Hall, I’ve seen firsthand how critical these investments are. To address this, I would focus on:

Youth Engagement: Creating programs that actively involve young people in community decisions. It’s important that they have a voice in shaping Capitola’s future, especially in matters that directly affect them. Through regular town halls or youth councils, we can empower the next generation to become active participants in their community.

Access to Resources: Expanding access to afterschool programs, recreational activities, and mental health services so every young person has the tools to succeed and feel supported. No child should be left behind because of lack of opportunity. We need to ensure that the resources they need are not just available, but also accessible and equitable for all families.

Safe Spaces: Ensuring our parks, public spaces, and community centers are safe and inclusive environments where youth can gather, learn, and thrive. We need to continue improving these spaces with an emphasis on safety, accessibility, and fostering a sense of belonging.

2. Balancing Growth and Community Character: Another challenge Capitola faces is maintaining the balance between preserving our small-town charm and addressing the growing demands for housing, infrastructure, and sustainable tourism. While growth is inevitable, we must ensure that development does not come at the expense of our community’s unique character or the well-being of its residents.

To navigate this balance, I envision a collaborative approach—engaging residents, businesses, and local organizations to ensure their voices are heard in every decision. Specifically, I would focus on:

Affordable Housing: Advocating for housing policies that prioritize affordability for families, workers, and seniors. We need to ensure that new developments offer options that are accessible to people at all income levels while preserving Capitola’s aesthetic and environmental standards. This means encouraging thoughtful, mixed-use developments that blend seamlessly with our community’s identity.

Infrastructure Improvements: Supporting investments in infrastructure, particularly addressing traffic congestion, parking, and the maintenance of aging facilities. We must make sure that as Capitola grows, our infrastructure evolves with it—keeping the city accessible, livable, and resilient. Smart transportation and sustainable development practices will be key.

Sustainable Tourism: Promoting eco-friendly tourism initiatives that protect our environment while still supporting the local economy. Capitola’s tourism is a significant part of its economic engine, but it’s crucial that we protect the very qualities that attract visitors in the first place. Promoting green initiatives, responsible tourism practices, and reducing environmental impacts will help us preserve our natural beauty for future generations.

What is your vision for Capitola’s future?
My vision for Capitola’s future is a city that thrives while preserving the unique charm and sense of community that make it so special. I see a Capitola that continues to grow responsibly, balancing the needs of its residents, businesses, and environment to create a vibrant, inclusive, and sustainable community for generations to come.

In my vision:

1. Youth Thrive: Capitola provides abundant opportunities for our young people through enhanced education, afterschool programs, sports, mentorship, and spaces where they feel safe and supported. Investing in our youth will ensure a brighter future for the entire community.

2. Housing is Accessible: Our city develops affordable housing options that prioritize working families, seniors, and young professionals while maintaining our small-town character.

3. The Environment is Protected: Capitola leads in sustainability by promoting eco-friendly tourism, protecting our coastline, and adopting green initiatives that preserve our natural beauty for future generations.

4. The Economy is Strong: Our local businesses thrive, supported by smart policies that draw visitors while ensuring that residents’ needs come first.

5. The Community is United: Capitola continues to be a place where everyone—young and old, new residents and lifelong community members— feels connected and valued.

I envision Capitola as a city that embraces progress without losing sight of its roots, a place where everyone has the opportunity to succeed, and where neighbors continue to look out for one another.

Why do you wish to serve as a City Council Member?
I’ve lived in Capitola for 15 of the past 20 years, and this town means a great deal to me. I’m running because I want to help protect the Capitola we know and love. Our unique charm, small-town feel, and community spirit are being challenged by outside influences and decisions made without transparency or resident input. I believe the people of Capitola should shape its future, not special interests or top-down mandates.

Professionally, I bring over 20 years of experience as an HR leader in large technology companies, leading strategic initiatives and managing complex budgets that require complicated and challenging decision-making. I want to apply those skills to help our city govern wisely and serve its residents. I'm deeply committed to ensuring Capitola remains a place where people feel proud to live, with leadership that listens and acts in the community’s best interest.

Can you share an example of a difficult decision you've had to make in a leadership or professional role, where the ethical choice wasn't necessarily the easiest or most popular? How did you approach it, and what was the outcome? In the past, I was part of a leadership team that played a key role in a significant restructuring effort to right-size our organization and improve its long-term sustainability. This included cutting program expenses, eliminating some roles, and transitioning part of the team to an offshore model. These decisions were difficult, especially knowing they would impact people I respected and cared about.

The easy route would have been to delay action or sugarcoat the rationale. Instead, I took a transparent approach: I clearly explained the “why,” involved key team members in shaping the future-state model, and made sure those impacted were treated with respect, empathy, and fairness.

I also focused on painting a compelling and realistic vision of what success could look like in the new structure—how it would position the company for growth and create clearer roles and opportunities for those remaining.

While not everyone agreed with the decision, many appreciated the honesty and the way it was handled. The organization ultimately stabilized 81 Item 4 A.
and began operating more efficiently, and several team members later shared that the clarity and transparency helped them move forward with confidence.

What do you see as the most significant challenge Capitola will face in the next two years, and how do you envision contributing to addressing it?
Capitola’s biggest challenge is managing state-mandated housing growth without losing the character of our community. With over 1,300 new homes expected, we must meet this demand responsibly—without overwhelming our infrastructure or sacrificing the charm that makes Capitola special.

As a Council Member, I’ll advocate for a practical, community-first approach. That includes focusing development on appropriate areas like the Capitola Mall, preserving neighborhood character, and ensuring our roads, schools, and public safety services can handle growth. I’ll push for transparency, invite resident input early, and work to keep decision-making in Capitola’s hands—not Sacramento What is your vision for Capitola’s future?
My vision is for Capitola to stay true to its roots: a charming, livable coastal town where residents feel heard and connected. I want us to protect our historic character and scenic beauty while making smart, long-term decisions that improve quality of life.

That includes opposing wasteful projects like the proposed passenger rail line through Capitola, which would be a massive expense with little benefit. Instead, I support railbanking and creating a safe, scenic trail along the corridor, including preserving the trestle for community use. We should improve local transit options, traffic safety, and infrastructure where it directly benefits residents.

I also envision a city government that operates transparently, listens to its people, and focuses on practical solutions—whether it’s revitalizing the mall, encouraging local business, or planning for a strong fiscal future. My goal is to help ensure Capitola remains the special place we all love, for generations to come.

Why do you wish to serve as a City Council Member?
I want to serve as a City Council Member because I believe Capitola deserves leaders who are rooted in the community — not in personal agendas. While some council members come in with rigid platforms, I believe in transparent, balanced leadership that adapts to the evolving needs of our city.

Our city faces real, everyday challenges. I’ve heard concerns from parents about pedestrian safety and safe biking routes for their kids. We are lack bike lanes at our Schools! I’ve watched traffic and parking constraints in the Village limit access and frustrate both residents and visitors.

And I’ve spoken with small business owners who are struggling with rising vacancies and uncertain foot traffic — especially in the offseason.

These are the kinds of issues that deserve focus — not politics. I want to bring forward common-sense solutions: safer streets, smarter infrastructure, better support for our business community, and more responsive communication from city leadership.

I’m running because I believe in civil, community-first leadership. I want to serve everyone in Capitola — not just those I agree with. That means listening, adapting, and leading with transparency and accountability. And it means working together — not dividing — to build a city we’re all proud to call home.

Can you share an example of a difficult decision you've had to make in a leadership or professional role, where the ethical choice wasn't necessarily the easiest or most popular? How did you approach it, and what was the outcome? The past few year, while serving in a leadership role within a community organization, I was part of a working group tasked with reviewing a local initiative that had strong emotional backing but lacked financial sustainability and long-term planning. Many community members — including some close friends — were passionate about pushing it forward quickly, despite the concerns that had surfaced in our internal review.

The easy thing would have been to go along with the majority and avoid friction. But I felt a responsibility to speak up. I gathered the data, reviewed the potential risks, and respectfully presented my concerns to the group. I emphasized that transparency and fiscal responsibility were 96 Item 4 A.
critical — especially when public trust and community resources were at stake.

It wasn’t a popular stance, and it led to some tense conversations. But by staying calm, collaborative, and focused on solutions, we found a path forward that revised the plan into something more feasible and accountable. In the end, even those who disagreed initially appreciated the effort to make the project stronger.

That experience reminded me that ethical leadership often means stepping into uncomfortable spaces. It’s about doing what’s right — not what’s easiest — and building consensus through clarity, respect, and integrity.

What do you see as the most significant challenge Capitola will face in the next two years, and how do you envision contributing to addressing it?
One of the most significant challenges Capitola will face in the next two years is balancing growth and economic recovery with the preservation of our small-town character and livability — especially in light of increasing traffic pressures, housing needs, and the ongoing strain on small businesses in the Village.

We’re seeing rising vacancies, challenges with seasonal tourism, and growing concern around infrastructure — particularly pedestrian and bike safety, and congestion in key areas like the Village. At the same time, there’s real frustration from residents who feel disconnected from city decisions or concerned that transparency and accountability are being overlooked.

I believe I can contribute by being a clear, accessible, and balanced voice — someone who listens first and acts with both principle and practicality. I would work to ensure that local businesses are supported with thoughtful planning, that pedestrian and traffic safety remains a priority, and that residents feel welcomed into the process — not sidelined by it.

Most of all, I want to help rebuild trust. I believe that if we bring more transparency, collaboration, and civility to the table, we’ll be better equipped to navigate the challenges ahead — together.

What is your vision for Capitola’s future?
My vision for Capitola is a city that remains vibrant, family-friendly, and economically resilient — where our small-town character is preserved, but our leadership evolves to meet the complex needs of the future.

My connection to Capitola runs deep. My grandparents moved here in 1966 to raise their family. My grandfather regularly attended city council and planning commission meetings and was part of the Young Conservationists, advocating for responsible land use. That civic legacy shaped my belief in transparent, community-first leadership — and I’m committed to carrying that forward.

In the years ahead, Capitola will face real financial challenges. With projected budget deficits on the horizon, we must make tough decisions — not just to balance the budget, but to do so in a way that reflects our community values. That means protecting core services while finding creative, data-informed ways to build partnerships and ensure every dollar is working for residents.

One area that deserves a closer look is the hundreds of thousands of dollars Capitola sends annually to Santa Cruz agencies to promote our city.

There has been little to no transparency or performance metrics tied to those funds. We need to ask: Is this the best use of our resources? Could that money be better used by hiring dedicated FTEs focused on promoting Capitola, or contracting directly with professional marketing agencies to run targeted campaigns — both locally and regionally? We need more accountability, clearer results, and spending that aligns with the outcomes we expect.

I also believe housing will remain one of our greatest challenges. We need to find practical ways to support affordable housing — especially for our local workforce, young families, and seniors. That includes expanding access to ADUs, updating pre-approved blueprint templates to streamline the process, and exploring zoning options that respect neighborhood character while opening new pathways for affordability.

And just as important, we need to continue investing in what makes Capitola a great place to raise a family — from summer camps and youth programs to safe streets, walkable neighborhoods, and well-maintained parks and public spaces.

I’m not coming into this with a fixed platform or agenda. Capitola doesn’t need another voice fighting for one narrow perspective — we need leaders who are mindful of the entire community, including residents who voted for different candidates, While platforms can serve as a useful blueprint, the reality is that most issues overlap, and no community speaks with one voice — residents don’t necessarily support 100% of any platform, and they expect leaders to remain flexible, not absolute, as needs evolve and circumstances change.

That requires being flexible, responsive, and ready to listen — even when it’s hard. That's the type of Leadership Capitola needs and deserves.

Capitola’s future depends on thoughtful, balanced leadership. My vision is to help guide our city through these transitions with integrity, transparency, and a strong commitment to building a healthy, connected, and sustainable future for all. 97 Item 4 A.

Why do you wish to serve as a City Council Member?
I have been involved in the city as a resident since 1999, an arts and cultural commissioner since 2018, on the financial advisory committee since 2020 and working for the recreation department as a tennis instructor and piano teacher since 2019 so I am a very happy resident and have an understanding of what has been happening in our city for many years. I would like to be involved with the development of the community in a variety of ways since I have a knowledge of different aspects of the city and how it functions. I also was in the academy for city government in 2020 which also provided me with additional understanding of how our city works. I am excited for the new playground and building remodel for Jade st, our very successful rebuilding of the wharf and look forward to implementing development of our mall and business communities.

Can you share an example of a difficult decision you've had to make in a leadership or professional role, where the ethical choice wasn't necessarily the easiest or most popular? How did you approach it, and what was the outcome? When you teach tennis you teach on a specific court with authorization from the group that owns the courts. It’s a known fact to only teach on the courts that you’re allowed to teach on and pay for your court time and have proof of insurance or have insurance provided for you through that entity that is in charge of the courts.

So when I see others not authorized to use the courts, not just Jade st but other courts, and I know the instructors,I feel it’s my responsibility to alert the persons in charge of the courts of the use by unauthorized coaches.

All the coaches in town know each other, we have a small tennis community, but I feel it’s important for the safety of all participants that we follow the rules .

What do you see as the most significant challenge Capitola will face in the next two years, and how do you envision contributing to addressing it?
I grew up in the Los Angeles area and obviously heartbroken from the current situation with the wildfires.

A massive wildfire may not be our number 1 problem in the future but dealing with a incredible incident of such magnitude,I believe ,should be something we need to be prepared for that needs to be addressed how we can make sure all our residents are safe and how we as a city are ready to handle a disaster.

Item 4 A.

What is your vision for Capitola’s future?
I love our village and want to continue to create a warm and relaxing place for residents and visitors to enjoy with lots of wonderful shops and restaurants and fun events to bring our residents and visitors down to the village to enjoy.

I do want to see our mall thriving once again and have a safe and supportive business community.

Why do you wish to serve as a City Council Member?
I am interested in supporting the community of Capitola in the role of City Councilwoman by leveraging my background in local government to move forward key pieces of work that are important to our community. Capitola has been home for my son and I for nearly 3 years, and in this short time I have been fortunate to experience how special the city is, which can be attributed to the extraordinary people and leaders who make up the fabric of the community. It would be an honor to serve the public in a new capacity that can bring positive change to those most in need.

Can you share an example of a difficult decision you've had to make in a leadership or professional role, where the ethical choice wasn't necessarily the easiest or most popular? How did you approach it, and what was the outcome? Throughout my career as a public servant, there have been many challenges centered on making ethical choices. By nature of working with the public and utilizing public funds, there are often many inquiries and criticisms of government work, whether an ethical dilemma is at hand or not. In my career, the most significant ethical dilemma I have faced is to call in to action community leaders and advocate on behalf of those who are not able to be in the room when critical decisions are made on behalf of the community. My approach is to come from a place of curiosity, and address the dilemma with consideration to the audience and those I advocate of behalf of. It is my strong belief that government decisions should reflect the voices of those who make up our diverse community, and there should always be an opportunity for every voice, and criticism, to be heard.

What do you see as the most significant challenge Capitola will face in the next two years, and how do you envision contributing to addressing it?
I believe the most significant challenge Capitola will face are the continued impacts of inclement weather and the associated infrastructure needs. I plan to contribute to addressing these issues by leveraging my understanding of the systems and functions of local government administration, particularly centered on Climate Action and Adaptation and Public Works projects, at a practical level. I believe there is great value in having representation and perspective on governing boards/councils from those who move work forward in our government systems on a daily basis.

What is your vision for Capitola’s future?
My vision for Capitola’s future is that it continues to be a City that serves not only its constituents, but the larger Santa Cruz County community, and beyond. I envision Capitola being a place where all people, residents and visitors alike, feel represented, heard, valued and cared for. I hope it continues to 107

be a place where our local entrepreneurs and economy can thrive, while simultaneously valuing the stage of life where every resident is at, and doing its best to serve their needs.

Please attach any additional materials relevant to your background and experience that may be considered for the appointment, including a resume or CV.

Why do you wish to serve as a City Council Member?
I moved to Capitola in 2024 from Oakland, CA. My partner and I love the city and I would like to contribute towards giving something back to the city. I like getting involved in city politics because there is a direct connection between effort and results, unlike national and state politics.

I have been following the city council meetings in person and on zoom and provided my feedback on some issues discussed. I am particularly enthusiastic about resolving the issue of the pedestrian/bike rail trail, SCCRTC rail track and protection of our wonderful coastline.

Capitola is a gem of a small town that holds a lot of promise with intelligent and environmentally conscious development. Having retired a while ago, I have the time and energy to devote to concerns and issues that may arise, carrying out the city councillor's responsibility.

Can you share an example of a difficult decision you've had to make in a leadership or professional role, where the ethical choice wasn't necessarily the easiest or most popular? How did you approach it, and what was the outcome? Here is one issue I championed in Berkeley, when I lived there. Our street was one of the few streets left in Berkeley with open parking. Most of the other streets had been converted to permit parking. As a result, homeless people with RVs parked their vehicles there and littered the street, with no concern for the neighbors. Also, visitors and staff from the nearby Alta Bates hospital would park there for extended durations, to avoid the steep parking fees in the Alta Bates parking structure.

I organized the residents on our street and initiated a signature campaign to implement permit parking on our street. Two hour parking was free with no restrictions; extended parking was allowed with purchased permits which cost $66/month and was only available to residents living on this street. There were a few residents who balked against the $66/month charge and a few others who sided with the homeless in their RVs. But the majority of the street residents supported my signature campaign. The petition was discussed in the Berkeley city hall meeting and the majority motion was carried. The street is now a permit parking street and free parking spots are usually available for use by street residents.

What do you see as the most significant challenge Capitola will face in the next two years, and how do you envision contributing to addressing it?
110
Item 4 A.

As mentioned in the "State of the City" message from the Capitola city manager on the FY2025-26 budget, one of the most significant issues faced by all CA cities is the unfunded liability from the CalPERS pension liability.

The long-term solution is to increase the revenue sources into the city budget. This comes by making the city more business friendly. We should encourage tourists into our downtown businesses. The traffic into downtown is very bad and there is limited parking. We should make the traffic flow better possibly by making Cliff dr. and Stockton bridge one-way and having a second bridge for foot, bike and vehicle traffic. We need more auxiliary parking. We need more hotel options including an anchor five-star hotel.

I am comfortable working with city government. In Berkeley, I worked with city Planning to get a Use Permit approved, to convert my site zoning from R1 to R2. Also worked with Planning to get an additional floor approved and built, to convert it from SFH to duplex. I was also an independent commissioner on Berkeley's Independent Redistricting Commission.

What is your vision for Capitola’s future?
I feel that a City Councillor needs to have a vision which is a blend of knowing where the city should head strategically and listening to resident's issues on strategy and day-to-day concerns. I feel that Capitola should be more business friendly and encourage tourism, to generate more revenues. Carmel is a good example of a downtown that attracts artists and galleries, coffee shops and restaurants. I think that Capitola should strive for a larger and more thriving downtown. But it will take leadership to get agreement on whether this is the chosen direction. I would like to participate in the effort. Also, if the downtown were to expand, would need to get agreement on which direction to expand and how the city can facilitate that strategy.

Why do you wish to serve as a City Council Member?
I wish to be appointed the City Council because I have extensive experience in many aspects of Capitola governance and can provide needed advice and perspective to a relatively new and inexperienced council. I have demonstrated that I dive deep into the questions put before me and ask the tough questions. As an unelected member, I would not push my agenda but will act as a sounding board for process and history in ways that the staff is not authorized to respond.

I have many issues that my subcommittee membership will soon bring before the council:

The new Climate Action Plan is going to go out for consultant bids and I was instrumental in redlining the existing plan and have close ties to the remaining COE members.

Implementing the Housing Element will be a huge challenge that will come before the council. I was on the Planning Commission that crafted the document and got it approved by the state.

The Monterey Railing project is not fully approved. This project was initiated by me.

The new housing development on Capitola road will create public outrage over parking. I was on the commission that approved this development and was on the Ad Hoc parking committee so I know all the issues.

As an unelected council member, I will not drive my opinion on any of the issues but will be happy to ensure all sides of the arguments are addressed.

If requested, I am happy to commit to not running for office in 2026.

Can you share an example of a difficult decision you've had to make in a leadership or professional role, where the ethical choice wasn't necessarily the easiest or most popular? How did you approach it, and what was the outcome? The most difficult decision I dealt with was to campaign for the removal of the elected office of Treasurer. Council member Bertrand was a former treasurer and believed it was a valuable office and an easy way to get experience for entry into politics. City manager Goldstein argued that it was not worth pursuing because earlier attempts to do so had failed and polling efforts indicated that it would not pass. And can you have enough eyes overseeing the budget? Other council members supported me because the fear of a renegade treasurer with powers implied by the state but none granted by the city was a 119
Item 4 A.
problem they has seen before. My solution was to research the charter, see what other cities did and craft a powerpoint presentation that would convince the Council to agree to put the issue on the ballot. I wrote the argument for the proposal and it passed by well over 60% I still sometimes wonder if that was a proud accomplishment or a mistake.

What do you see as the most significant challenge Capitola will face in the next two years, and how do you envision contributing to addressing it?
I believe the cities biggest challenge in the next two years will be managing growth mandated by the Housing Element. Although already approved, the implementation of the Housing Element is the most difficult part. The Planning Commission will end up kicking issues upstairs to the Council due to public outrage regarding overcrowding, parking and losing the “quaint small-town feel” of Capitola. I am aware of all the issues and can present both sides.

What is your vision for Capitola’s future?
I see Capitola gaining significant population growth despite being essentially built out already. The growth needs to be concentrated along 41st Avenue and creative traffic flow solutions will be needed. This is best handled by citizen committees. I also see us pursuing grants and seeking cooperation with other agencies regarding sea level rise. I can only hope that some progress is made on the Mall site.

Please attach any additional materials relevant to your background and experience that may be considered for the appointment, including a resume or CV.

Why do you wish to serve as a City Council Member?
I want to serve as a Capitola City Council Member because I believe in the power of local leadership to create meaningful, lasting change. This city is not just where I live—it’s my home, my community, and the place where I’ve chosen to invest both professionally and personally.

Over the years, I’ve led high-performing teams across North America as a senior executive, but some of the most rewarding work I’ve done has been right here in Santa Cruz County, serving on the Civil Grand Jury, advocating for youth as a CASA volunteer, and helping seniors stay active and engaged through wellness programs. These roles have given me a deep understanding of the challenges and opportunities our community faces, from housing and infrastructure to equity, public safety, and civic engagement.

What drives me is service with impact. I want to bring my strategic thinking, fiscal discipline, and collaborative leadership to the Council in a way that centers people first. I’m not interested in politics for politics’ sake—I’m here to listen, to build consensus, and to ensure Capitola remains a place where all residents feel heard, supported, and proud to live.

This is an opportunity to apply my business experience, civic involvement, and heart for public service to shape a stronger, more connected future for Capitola.

Can you share an example of a difficult decision you've had to make in a leadership or professional role, where the ethical choice wasn't necessarily the easiest or most popular? How did you approach it, and what was the outcome? One of the most difficult decisions I made as a Vice President of Sales involved terminating a highly successful regional sales manager. He consistently exceeded his revenue targets—but multiple team members confidentially shared concerns about his toxic leadership style, including intimidation and favoritism. While no single incident broke policy, the pattern of behavior created a culture of fear that undermined trust and morale.

This presented an ethical dilemma: do I prioritize short-term revenue success, or do I protect the integrity and wellbeing of the broader team? 125
Item 4 A.

I took the time to gather all the facts, including conducting anonymous interviews and consulting with HR. It became clear that his behavior was inconsistent with our company values, and retaining him would signal that results matter more than respect.

I made the decision to let him go. It wasn’t popular with some senior leaders at first—they feared it would impact quarterly sales. But within six months, we saw not only improved team morale, but also stronger collaboration and innovation. We promoted a values-driven leader from within, and the team went on to exceed revenue targets by the end of the year.

That experience reinforced my belief that leadership is about doing what’s right, not just what’s easy or expedient. In public service, as in business, trust is everything—and that means making principled decisions, especially when they’re uncomfortable.

What do you see as the most significant challenge Capitola will face in the next two years, and how do you envision contributing to addressing it?
I believe our challenge is twofold: we need to invest in long-term coastal infrastructure and environmental planning while also ensuring the economic and social vitality of the city doesn’t leave anyone behind.

With my background in strategic planning and stakeholder coordination, I would approach this challenge by helping to:

Strengthen partnerships between local businesses, environmental experts, and residents, Support sustainable development and climate-resilient infrastructure projects, Advocate for state and federal funding opportunities for recovery and adaptation, And ensure transparency and community input in every step of the process.

I’m committed to bringing a collaborative, practical voice to the table—someone who understands both operational complexity and the need to lead with heart. Capitola has a chance to not just recover, but to become a model for small-city resilience and I want to help make that happen What is your vision for Capitola’s future?
One of the most significant challenges Capitola will face in the next two years is strengthening our coastal infrastructure and community resilience in response to the increasing impacts of climate change and recent storm damage. The 2023 storms were a wake-up call, not just about physical vulnerability, but about how we prepare for, recover from, and plan beyond these events.

At the same time, we need to protect what makes Capitola special, its walkability, small-town feel, thriving local businesses, and quality of life for residents of all ages.

With my background in strategic leadership and cross-sector collaboration, I would work to:
* Champion climate-resilient investments in the Wharf and shoreline protections, * Collaborate with county, state, and federal partners to secure infrastructure funding, * Support transparent public engagement around planning and budgeting priorities, * Ensure our most vulnerable residents are part of our recovery and planning efforts, not left behind.

My leadership philosophy is rooted in building consensus, elevating community voice, and ensuring that we grow and adapt without losing sight of who we are. I believe Capitola can lead the way in coastal resilience—and I want to help guide that process. (Optional) Please submit any documentation verifying your domicile in Capitola.

Please attach any additional materials relevant to your background and experience that may be considered for the appointment, including a resume, CV, or letters of support.

Why do you wish to serve as a City Council Member?
Working in property development for many years has given me the ability to navigate and negotiate many situations that need firm resolutions. I would like to see Capitola stand as a pillar for Santa Cruz county and an example of a city that can movef orward as well as maintain its charm and local vibe.

Can you share an example of a difficult decision you've had to make in a leadership or professional role, where the ethical choice wasn't necessarily the easiest or most popular? How did you approach it, and what was the outcome? I have had many opportunities to make ethical decisions in my professional career. Currently involved in the re-development of the pacific palisades I have had to make sure that pricing remain fair and ethical, along with following the strict and new guidlines set forth by both state and city municipal code. I have always found that the honest and truthful approach garners the best outcome in the end.

What do you see as the most significant challenge Capitola will face in the next two years, and how do you envision contributing to addressing it?
I believe Capitola will see an increase of visitors from both neighboring and out of state. There is a need to foster this relationship along with keeping order and a way of life desired by the current residents. Another glaring issue is the rail to trail which I do believe is a decision best made by the constituents of Capitola and how they want to see this unfold. Budget will also be a very important factor in the coming years as a balancing act between spending and keeping social services and way of life a top priority.

What is your vision for Capitola’s future?
I envision a well oiled town, catering to both tourists and residents. A place where people can enjoy the beautiful ocean side town as visitors and as people living here full time. By fostering healthy educational activities and leaning into the abundance of nature, this will help to solidify Captiola as a healthy, clean and vibrant part of California's coastline. 152

Dear Capitola City Council,
As the city is now facing the second city Council Member to quit, it is an opportunity for the council to appoint a new member with decades of experience. We are more than fortunate to have Susan Westman step up. There is no other candidate that can even come close to Susan Westman’s Capitola experience, city knowledge and management skills. It is an honor for Capitola to have this opportunity to appoint Susan Westman to the Capitola City Council.

I have to agree with Council Member Orbach.

We need somebody ready to hit the ground running.

If you cataloged Susan Westman’s positions and appointments it would be easy to see no one else even comes close to what the council would gain by having Susan Westman’s collective knowledge as a council member. Please do not hesitate to appoint Susan Westman to replace Council Member Pedersen.

Council Members,

You have a unique opportunity to accomplish something special for the citizens of Capitola. Instead of making a political appointment. You have a chance to pick a council replacement that is a member of the community and isn’t interested in furthering their career beyond the next two years. That is exactly what Capitola needs right now. A place holder. To that end. Susan Westman is the only person applying for that position that will bring the experience needed to keep the continuity of the council together. She doesn’t have an agenda or the interest to run in two years. Her history in Capitola is unparalleled. Her previous roles in city government as a City Manager (Belmont) and Community Development Director (Capitola) can only help mentor the other council members to become better at their jobs. We hope you agree that Capitola can absolutely benefit from her appointment.

Thanks for your attention,

Your appointment of Alex Pederson's council seat replacement is one of importance to the near and long-term needs of our city. As a former Planning Commissioner and involved citizen, I am approaching you once again. I surmise that this candidate needs to possess the following qualifications:
 Broad experience in local government

The only candidate I am aware of whom I know of will apply for this vacancy and whom meets this set of base criteria is Susan Westman, thus I respectfully request your earnest consideration of Susan in the role of Council member for the City of Capitola as replacement for Alex Pedersen.

Close the last little loop where drop off is. 15-20ish spaces including the ones in front of the Brit. Keep a bit of it to create a new drop off point designed smart this time. Change the direction of San Jose to direct traffic towards the city parking lot. Remove the big tree planters those trees are hurting anyway.

Less concrete. Resilient doesn’t mean concrete anymore. I got lots more on this.

The way to turn the most valuable land in the county (the lower village) into money is through development (which we won’t do) and/or turning it into an economic powerhouse by making it a people friendly place (oh if Kristen hadn’t bricked the hotel).

The way to continue to lose money on it is to keep it a parking lot (unviable businesses only surviving bc they pay no rent doesn’t help). No one wants to shop in a parking lot. It’s not welcoming.

Playground at Monterey has traditionally been opposed by the community there I am surprised Jamie dint tell Melinda.

Stop losing money. You did ok. Listen to Leslie and me. The UL is terrifying in its continuing rapid upward trend. Pensions bill and infrastructure bill and for us the no growth bill and fixed income/vacant home/beach town with our demo bill all gonna demand payment next decade.

Sue Westman. Hands down the best choice to replace Alex. Sue is great. 100% has my support.

As used herein, “Record” includes “Public Records” and “Writings” as those terms are defined at Government Code § 7920.530 & 7920.545. I request access to inspect/copies of records covering the period 1985-June 1, 2023 that pertain to:
-removing parking from all or a portion of the Capitola Esplanade (defined as the area between Stockton Ave and the intersection of Monterrey Ave and Capitola Ave, including San Jose Ave from the Esplanade to Capitola Ave, in the City of Capitola) permanently and reclaiming that land for public use -actions taken by city council members advocating for or against closing all or a portion of the Capitola Esplanade permanently to motor vehicles -correspondence with the Coastal Commission relating to removing parking from the Capitola Esplanade
-environmental reports/documents on pollution, air quality, environmental damage to the local ecosystem from motor vehicles parking/using the Capitola Esplanade
-statistics on pedestrian and roller (bikes, skateboards, scooters, strollers) injuries/accidents that involve motor vehicles in the Capitola Esplanade Area If you contend that any portion of the records requested is exempt from disclosure by express provisions of law, Government Code § 7922.525(b) requires segregation and redaction of that material in order that the remainder of the records may be released. If you contend that any express provision of law exists to exempt from disclosure all or a portion of the records I have requested, Government Code § 7922.535 requires that you notify me of the reasons for the determination not later than 10 days from your receipt of this request. Government Code § 7922.540 requires that any response to this request that includes a determination that the 166
Item 4 A.
3 request is denied, in whole or in part, must be in writing and include the name and title of the person(s) responsible for the City’s response.

Government Code § 7922.500 prohibits the use of the 10-day period, or any provisions of the CPRA or any other law, “to delay access for purposes of inspecting public records.”
In responding to this request, please keep in mind that Article 1, § 3(b)(2) of the California Constitution expressly requires you to broadly construe all provisions that further the public’s right of access, and to apply any limitations on access as narrowly as possible.

If I can provide any clarification that will help expedite your attention to my request, please contact me at [email protected] pursuant to Government Code § 7922.600. I ask that you notify me of any duplication costs exceeding $50 before you duplicate the records so that I may decide which records I want copied. If the records can be sent digitally that is preferred.

Thank you for your timely attention to this matter.

Warmly,
John Mulry

Subject: Re: Capitola City Council Vacancy - Application Opportunity Please do not include my application in this new round. I recommend the city choose Susan Westman.

She seems the obvious choice supported by all 4 councillors. Enrique is still my first choice. Represents the demos we need more representation from. Parents, families, union employees, brown and black folks, still a homeowner below 41st which is always our preferred.

No one who wasn’t interested the first time should be considered this time imo. I could explain why but meh.

How does the car show website still function so poorly and isn’t updated in all the places it should be? 3 bloody years. Come on.

Subject: Recommendation for Susan Westman for City Council I have live in Capitola for 53 years and love our city. I also taught history for 49 years at Cabrillo. Susan is everything I would want in someone to take care of our city. She is a great neighbor and is always willing to lend a helping hand. She also embodies the attributes of a strong leader. She is knowledgeable and a hard worker. Susan knows the history of many of the questions the city faces today and will bring valuable insights into the discussions. She also knows how to bring various viewpoints together to problem solve and move toward consensus. I admire Susan’s integrity and I strongly recommend her for your consideration and her appointment.

Dear Capitola City Council Members:

Thank you for your service to our wonderful community! Now that a new member is necessary, I urge you to support and select Susan Westman. Her experience in city government, reputaƟon, and commitment to the City of Capitola, make her the perfect choice to complement the current council.

AlternaƟvely, Enrique Dolmo, who I have spoken with at Jade Park as he prepares to coach our local kids, also has the heart for Capitola that it takes to represent us, your consƟtuents. He doesn’t possess the credenƟals that Susan has, but given that she she wasn’t running in past elecƟons, I have voted for him twice.

Please keep the values of your consƟtuents and the future of this historic, unique community in mind as you fill this very important posiƟon.

Respecƞully,
Linda Segal

As long time citizens of Capitola (50+ years), we are writing to encourage your vote for Susan Westman to fill Alexander Pedersen’s vacant position.

Susan has lived in the community for decades and served as Planning Director, City Manager and, most recently, as a Planning Commissioner for Capitola. You can’t ask for much more experience than that. She would come to the council without the need of a “learning curve” and be informed and ready to finish out the second half of the June 12 council meeting. Susan’s work history and community service show her strong support for Capitola.

June 6, 2025

Dear Capitola City Council Members,
I strongly encourage a vote for Susan Westman as an interim city council person.

As it stands now, this council has almost no public policy knowledge, which isn’t a criticism, just a fact. What we need is someone who has the combination of life experiences to step in and help this council make policy decisions and sort through the staƯ reports.

Susan is the right choice because:
 She has lived in Capitola for 45 years,
 Since 1981 she has served as the city’s Associate Planner; Planning and Community Development Director and City Manager.
 She has served several other communities in the Bay Area as an interim city manager and city manager.
 She has been a Capitola Planning Commissioner oƯ and on since 2016.

This longstanding commitment and service to Capitola is unparallelled in other current applicants.

In the event of a tie, a special election should be held. A split vote at the council level clearly signals a deep division in community perspectives—one that deserves resolution through a public vote.

Thank you,
Gayle Ortiz
