Education
University of California, Los Angeles, Bachelor of Arts, Linguistics, 1992, The goal of linguistics is the enrichment of knowledge about the nature, grammar, and history of human language. Linguistics is a theoretical discipline, akin to philosophy, anthropology, and cognitive psychology. It is important for prospective students to understand that studying linguistics is not a matter of learning to speak many languages. Linguistics courses draw examples from the grammars of a wide variety of languages, and the more languages linguists know about in depth (as distinct from possessing fluency in the use of them), the more likely they are to discover universal properties. It is also possible to pursue these universal aspects of human language through the intensive in-depth study of a single language.

I was born in Los Angeles but grew up between LA, San Diego and Tijuana as a result of my parentsseparation andeventualreconciliation. I graduatedfrom Montgomery High School in San Diego in June, 1985.

I am both a veteran of both the US Navy and the US Army. I enlisted in the Navy directly out of high school, I attendedboot camp and my initial school at Recruit Training Command at the old Naval Training Center, San Diego. I received an early honorable discharge. I was accepted and enrolled at the University of California, Los Angeles ( UCLA). In 1992, I was awarded a Bachelor's degreein Linguistics. I was the first person in my family to both serve in the military as well as to attend and complete college. After college, I returned to the military as a Citizen Soldier. I enlisted in the Army National Guard (California) where I served as a combat medic at a Field Artillery Unit. I attended and successfully completed Officer Candidate School ( OCS) after which I trained as a Transportation Officer and eventually transitioned ( per the career path) to become a Multifunctional Logistician. I have 3 overseas tours including Operation Iraqi Freedom, Operation New Horizons ( Nicaragua) and Operation Rapid Trident ( Ukraine). I also servedon the US-Mexico border (SanDiego and Imperial Counties) asSafety andEnvironmental Officer for Operation Jump Start, when the National Guard was ordered to support the US Border Patrol from 2006 to 2008. In 2017 I retired asa Major having completed 24 yearsof service.

During college, I was trained as a student travel agent. This particular job eventually led me into the field of tourism and air transportation both in the military as well as a civilian. I worked at 2 travel agencies, one at UCLA the other at UCSD. I also worked for 3 airlines, the vast majority of the time at United Airlines. My airline specialty was both in automation (where I won several sales awards), airport operations ( whereI oversaw both domestic and international terminals at LAX) and as an international sales planner at United' s World Headquarters in Chicago, IL. In 2010, I received an early retirement from United.

Since 2006, I have owned and operatedmy old family business, BPI Plumbing (formerly Benny Plumbing) out of South Bay ( having moved our office between Imperial Beach, Nestor, Chula Vista and Bonita). During this time, I have devoted time to assisting fellow service disabled veterans transition to civilian life, while battling both physical and psychological disabilities. While I have focused on the pathway to business ownership, my journey helping veterans has also involved mentoring those who simply want to enter the work force. I have also worked with local schools and training institutes to promote the skilled trades to at risk youth. My focus on service disabled veterans andat risk youth hasbeennatural. At different times in my life, I have beenboth.

I currently live in the Otay Ranch areaof Chula Vista with my wife Luz Mireya.

BIOGRAPHY
Raised in San Diego’s South Bay since 1979, I am a product of public resources functioning well.

My family and I benefited from a slew of programs and activities that helped me and my three brothers thrive growing up in the Nestor area. I would not have the opportunity to pursue public service were it not for the public resources that continue to serve the underprivileged in the South Bay.

Southwest High is my alma mater where I was steered toward college by AVID tutors (including Ismael and Jose Preciado). I then attended UC Santa Barbara where I led the Community Relations Commission and co-founded a Tenants Right Union before serving as Student Body Vice President and earning a Bachelors Degree in Sociology and History.

Returning to South San Diego I earned a Masters in Public Admin at SDSU while working with the San Diego City Council. I absolutely loved serving the community as a Council Aide to two Councilmembers and a Council President. I worked my way to Committee Consultant and finally Deputy Chief of Staff. While at the City of San Diego I managed the Land Use & Housing committee through the General Plan Update & I continue to work closely with local leaders and land use agencies throughout San Diego. I worked with the San Diego City Council for nearly a decade before becoming a Real Estate and Development Professional. Today I am a licensed broker, investment partner and development project manager with land use experience dating to 2005. Our team includes principals, general contractors and design build professionals. Clients and partners include home owners, builders of market and affordable units, developers of commercial properties and permit seekers of all stripes.

With my wife and 3 daughters we own a home in the Montecito neighborhood of the Otay Ranch community in Chula Vista since 2015. We selected a home on a single family street surrounded by a dynamic mix of condos, townhomes and rental apartments including affordable housing and public transportation. I am an advocate for healthy, vibrant communities that favor inclusion over single family zoning. My expertise with land use and experience in local government administration are the tools that will allow me to serve the Chula Vista City Council, the 3rd District and its residents well.

9. Pleaselist any local, civic, or community groups you have been involved with:

SDSU Alumni Board, Friendly Sonsof St. Patrick, Latin American Political Association (LAPA), Toastmasters International, and EastlakeChurch

10. What experience or special knowledge could you bring to this position? I believe that tiesto our community meaneverything. I've lived in Chula Vista since the day I was born at Sharp Hospital Chula Vista in District 3. Spending my entire life in Chula Vista has createdsolid roots that will last my entire lifetime. I understandthe diversity and opportunities of Chula Vista, and District 3 in particular.

Page3 of 2 – City of Chula Vista District 3 City Councilmember Application 12/ 2022 As a former studentathlete in high school and college, I was always involved in local community events, especially with sports. I have cultivated relationships throughout the City with residents, businessowners, and community leaders.

I am a small businessowner through my partnership in a public affairs firm, Imperio Strategies, that specializes in Latino voter outreach, communications, marketing, and Spanish translations.

At Imperio Strategies, we are dedicatedto elevating transparencythrough informing and providing meaningful resourcesfor local leadersand clients to promote more engagedand empoweredcommunities.

Having grown up in our diverse community also gives me a broader perspectiveon the important opportunities Chula Vista can offer its residents. I have lived the cross-border reality of having family both here andin Mexico, and understandthe value that being close to the border can create for business, housing, and education.

As a young professional Latino, I believe I bring an important perspectiveto representDistrict 3 where nearly half of the District’s registered voters are Latinos. As the son of two parentsthat immigrated from Mexico, I understandthat we havea responsibility to provide a safecity to not just its local residents, but anyonethat comes through Chula Vista whether they live hereor not.

Aside from being a lifelong resident and businessowner, my experienceworking for several electedofficials, managing campaigns, and representingthe small businessowners havegiven me the experienceto allow me to successfully representDistrict 3. I also have binational relationships with local elected andformer elected officials in Tijuana. Being able to have theserelationships on top of speaking Spanish, which is my first language, is essentialto our city given our close proximity to the SanDiego/Tijuana Border.

In addition to my own business, I current work for a local non-partisan group that is dedicated to promoting an economic environment thatenablessmall businessesto thrive. I work with electedofficials from the highest levels of the federal government down to all of our local leadershere in SanDiego County. I've built relationships with both sides of the political spectrum while working in mayoral and city council offices, and working in the private sector andstarting my own business.

Managing large budgets, employees, consultants, constituent services, community outreach, policy research, political campaigns, being active in the county, and having new dynamic approachesto promoting our city are my main piecesof experienceand special knowledge that I know will help Chula Vista prosper.

From going to school here, volunteering at EastlakeChurch, playing sports all over the city, working my first job at a Chula Vista Wells Fargo Bank branch, to buying my first house here, I don’t think I’d be able to describe the full magnitude of how much Chula Vista meansto me, but more importantly, I know I would give my best effort and produce real, significant results as our next councilmember.

11. What would you hope to accomplish as a Councilmember? I want to give better representationto the 2nd largest city in SanDiego County but more importantly, let the community know I'm here to serve them. I think it's a problem most people can't name their local mayor and councilmember easily off the top of their heads. Constituent serviceswill always be themain role of the job I needto executebut I do havebig visions for Chula Vista.

We needto bring more businessesand attractions to make people want to stay in Chula Vista. Being able to promote major businesseswill be a key approach to bringing in more revenue, jobs, and relevance to the city. In a Page4 of 2 – City of Chula Vista District 3 City Councilmember Application 12/ 2022 broad sense, I want to bring some new dynamic approachesto making Chula Vista not only more attractive to local San Diego residents, but also to people around the world looking to travel. Specifically, potentially building a multi- use sports facility to attract youth/high school level club sports to Chula Vista would bring more tourists and require them to stay 2-4 days long at least dependingon the tournament they’re playing in. That’s one example of the type of big concepts we’re going to have to think of in order to make Chula Vista a stronger community.

The real problem we have right now is that Chula Vista is a bedroom community. You can seehow obvio us it is when you go on the 5 or 805 north freeway every morning during the week between7-9am and now even 3-7pm after work. We have many residentsbut the vast majority of their daily spendingand sales taxesare being spent everywhere else except Chula Vista. TheseChula residents are working in other parts of San Diego and not spendingany of their money here except for maybe groceries. We needto bring jobs home so people can live where they work. If we don’t create anenvironment that promotesmore businesseshere, we won’t have any jobs for people live nearby and spend their earnings here in Chula Vista.

Lastly, we need to give our law enforcement all the resourcesand tools available to ensureour residents stay safe.

Like I said earlier, we needto provide a safeenvironment for anyonethat comesthrough Chula Vista, resident or not. And being fiscally responsiblewith taxpayer money, I want to find ways to maximize the city' s operating budget while minimizing overhead by working with our city manager on the best ways to do so. There's much more I want to accomplish, but this covers my general basis.

Sophia Rodriguez Biography for District 3 City Councilmember Consideration When my mother immigrated to the United States, shechoseto settle in Chula Vista becauseof its quiet and humble charm – I am forever grateful that she chosethis amazing city. I am a proud product of the Sweetwater Union High School District where I graduated from Chula Vista Senior High School with honors. My love of this city continued even after I becamean alumnus of the University of California, SanDiego. Throughout my many years here, I lived in almost every district in Chula Vista, which gives me a valid and unique perspective.

After graduating from college, I decided to apply to the County of SanDiego so I can attendto families in needof social services suchas CalFreshand Medi- Cal. Working for the County expandedmy perspective and interest in engaging with local communities and their needs. It also gave me the knowledge on how to familiarize myself with government documents and their verbiage, such asstateregulated-guidelines and municipal ordinances. Finally, working for the County of SanDiego showed how important it is to be amendableto the needsof others.

Through all my major career positions in the County - Office Assistant, Human Services Specialist, and Social Worker - I have learned that individuals want their needsto be listened to and be taken seriously.

Last year, I joined the Technology & Privacy Advisory Task Force and was voted unanimously to be its chair. I joined this task force becauseof reports that the local Automated License Plate Readerswere unknowingly sending datato multiple law enforcementagenciesand was determined to make changes. Over the courseof 6 months, I not only learned about the different technologies the city departmentsimplement for their usage, but also the importance of maintaining open channelsof communication between these samedepartments and its residents.

After multiple meetingsthat went well into the night, the Task Force proudly submitted recommendationsto city- staff on September26th, 2022.

My love of Chula Vista will never wavier. I grew up playing at the J street Marina; I met someof my closet friends while attending school here; I met my husbandat the Chula Vista Center Mall; and now, I am raising my 2 young children in this city. Even though it is only for one year, I hope to continue making Chula Vista a wonderful place to live, grow, and thrive as City Councilmember for District 3.

CONTACT BIOGRAPHY
My husband and I purchased our home and moved to
Chula Vista in 2012. We previously lived in San Diego
until our real estate agent brought us to Chula Vista.

We both like to hike so we were immediately drawn to
the parks, the layout and walking paths in Chula Vista.

I grew up in a military family. Of all the places we
traveled to or lived, San Diego County was the place I
loved most, so I decided this would be the place I
would stay. I met my husband in 2008 and we were
married in 2010. Some of my hobbies include reading,
piano and hiking.

I have worked since I was sixteen. I was taught a strong work ethic by my parents. I started at entry level
positions when I was young and worked hard to learn
the skills needed in business to grow. I value integrity, results and cultivating relationships in both business
and in my personal life.

Some of the skills I would bring to the Chula Vista City Council are my ability to adapt, problem solving, and
decision making skills. Since I grew up in a way that
uniquely prepared me as an adult to see challenges
differently than other people may view them, I can
adapt, apply problem solving skills and decisive
decision making, which I have experience throughout
my career cultivating.

Chula Vista is an amazing city where my husband and I
have enjoyed living for the past 10 years. We look
forward to seeing the city continue to thrive.

Biography
My name is Frank Javier Salaiz and I am seeking an appointment to City Councilmember for District 3 for the City of Chula Vista. I am a proud homeowner, a married father of three and a retired law enforcement officer.

I was born and raised in a small town in Arizona and moved to Chula Vista over thirty years ago. I earned a BS in Criminal Justice from National University and worked in law enforcement for over 25 years. As the oldest son of an underground miner and retired Army soldier who did two oversea deployments, I was taught to value hard work and give back to our community.

I began my law enforcement career with the Chula Vista Police Department in 1993. In 1999, I accepted a Special Agent position with the Calif ornia Department of Justice where I had the opportunity to work on many challenging and rewarding cases for over eighteen years.

For the last couple of years, I have gained tremendous community and governing experience while serving in community and governmental boards. I know what it takes to steer my city in the right direction and the challenges that our city is facing in these unprecedented times.

I believe that government, with the right leadership, can help substantially to impro ve the lives of many people.

I believe in the rule of law and that everyone deserves the right to be treated with respect and equality and to be protected under the law.

I am passionate about representing our most vulnerable citizens, such as children, elderly, and the disabled and addressing the needs of the disenfranchised and marginalized citizens.

My experience in law enforcement and the time served in boards and commissions has provided me with first-hand knowledge of the issues facing our community and the need to find solutions to improve the lives of all Chula Vista residents. I have extensive training and experience in presentations and the ability to communicate with people of diverse groups and backgrounds.

My strong knowledge and understanding of all levels of government and of issues facing the City of Chula Vista including crime, population increase, growth and other regional factors makes me uniquely qualified for this appointment. I also believe my experience and knowledge of Mexican government issues and politics will be an asset to the City of Chula Vista.
