City of Costa Mesa Application for Committee Appointments (Feb. 24') 2 / 2
Q4
As a Committee member, what ideas or projects are of interest to you? Animal Service Committee - Outreach and pet licensing - Admittedly I have not been the best about licensing my dogs and I think a huge part of it is that it is just not on my mind. So my goal would be to spread outreach possibly partnering with vets in the area to ensure that pets get licensed. I also want people to see what the benefits of what they get when they license their pet. Our community nextdoor posts are 35% lost pets and if we can implement something like an AI match of found pets to the photos of licensed ones I think we can be able to help with that. Another way to promote licensing is to do chip events. A lot of people think their pet is chipped but they don't know for certain and if their pet is chipped, a lot of times it could be outdated information. By holding an event where we can scan and assist residents in updating their pets chips we can demonstrate tangible value of getting their pet licensed.
Finance and Pension Advisory Committee - Besides reviewing the city's budgets, finances, investments and contracts I am not sure what specific projects the committee normally takes on. I am however, very eager to learn more about our city's financial operations and contribute in any way I can.

As a career storyteller and owner of a top OC public relations firm since 2001, I have always been deeply passionate about using my skills to advocate for causes close to my heart, particularly animal welfare. My genuine love and concern for the well-being of animals have driven me to actively engage in various initiatives to promote responsible pet ownership and improve the lives of animals in our community.
Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of writing for animal welfare organizations and contributing to pet owner education materials developed by a nationwide pet veterinary organization. Additionally, I have organized numerous pet adoption events, focusing on connecting returning service members with loving companions. These experiences have not only allowed me to witness the profound impact of the human-animal bond but have also reinforced my commitment to advocating for the welfare of animals.
As a storyteller and community leader, I have always prioritized community engagement and collaboration. I firmly believe in the power of dialogue and cooperation in addressing pet safety and animal control issues. As a member of the board of directors of the Alzheimer's Association Orange County, I have witnessed firsthand the importance of the pet-human bond in enhancing the quality of life for individuals impacted by dementia and other brain health disorders. This experience has further fueled my determination to ensure that all members of the Costa Mesa community, including our four-legged friends, are supported and valued.
My commitment to the City of Costa Mesa runs deep. Having lived in Costa Mesa for over a decade and owning businesses in the city, I am deeply invested in its growth and development. I previously served on the Fairview Park Committee and participated in the cannabis working group, demonstrating my dedication to contributing to the betterment of our community. Despite a brief absence from the city in 2021, I have returned with renewed enthusiasm and a steadfast commitment to building up my community. Pets are family, and I am committed to ensuring that Costa Mesa remains a welcoming and inclusive environment for all types of families. #30

Summary
Listen up, pioneers and trailblazers of the Innovation Economy: If you’re looking to shine a megawatt spotlight on your breakthroughs while expertly sidestepping any PR landmines, you’ve come to the right place.
I'm a real-life fusion of Olivia Pope's crisis swagger, Sarah Jane Smith's insatiable curiosity and Samantha Jones' bold PR prowess.
Cara R. Stewart here — armed with strategy, creativity and a bulldog determination, just like those iconic characters, but in the real world. From rewriting narratives to outsmarting snags, I'm all about acing challenges, no matter the odds. A boundless innovator, strategic communicator and relentless advocate for positive change, I'm right at home in the Innovation Economy.
My career kicked off in 1994 as a journalist, capturing the novel and notable in Orange County, California — from everyday heroes to trust-eroding wrongdoers.
Fast forward to my early career at hypergrowth giants, visionary startups and government agencies. Think global corporate communications, ghostwriting for FORTUNE 50 CXOs, launching game-changers, handling IPOs and M&As, and guarding the reputations of thought leaders.
In 2001, entrepreneurship beckoned, and I responded with WunderMarx. We soared to be OC's third-largest PR firm and earned a “best places to work” nod. Jump to 2018, when I cofounded MyJane, sparking women to have candid conversations about cannabis. I crafted branding, captained PR and orchestrated market research that led to an acquisition.
With more than two decades as a creative entrepreneur, I've honed the art of psychology-fueled storytelling.
In my role as a strategic adviser to CXOs and boards of directors, I become your covert asset, adept at uncovering concealed opportunities. To the esteemed circle of advisors who rally behind them — the network of attorneys, investors, coaches, accountants, M&A brokers and others — regard me as an extension of your brain trust, the dependable partner you rely on to execute strategies and bring them to life.
As the founder and CEO of Altalunas International, I lead a team of strategists, advocateurs, brand journalists and crisis handlers. We're in the business of helping the companies and people driving the global Innovation Economy share their stories of impact with the world, driving tangible results.
Public relations, crisis communications, reputation management, M&A communications and brand journalism? Consider them our playground.

As a member of the Animal Services Committee since its inception, I have seen a lot of positive changes and some challenges that still need to be addressed. Being on the committee for has given me a lot of experience and I’ve seen what works and what doesn’t work. As a long-standing member, I have served as Vice-Chair, have rarely been absent from meetings, have contributed suggestions and ideas to try and improve the city’s Animal Services, and question and follow up on concerns regarding Animal Services and its partners so they are held to a high caliber. Currently Costa Mesa’s Animal Services is experiencing a lot of change and uncertainty after being placed back under the purview of Animal Control and the sudden separation from the city’s previous animal shelter. I have had the opportunity to meet with top Costa Mesa Police personnel and one of many points we all agreed on is the importance of continuity with committee members and Animal Control. With this, my previous experience, and passion I have for animals and the city of Costa Mesa, I believe I would be a great asset to see Costa Mesa’s Animal Services through the current changes and be able to establish a stable and flourishing service for the community. #18

I love Costa Mesa, own a home on the west side, and most days I cycle around town to commute and run errands instead of driving. I have a soon-to-be eight year old son who loves riding on my bike with me. I would love to see it become more efficient and even more important, safer, to get around town via bike.
I was a committee member from March 2018 through April 2022 and would love to continue to be a part of this committee to learn from the others who have been leading the way in making our city a better place, as well as bring my 20+ years of bicycling around Costa Mesa and bring fresh ideas to the table so future generations can enjoy the benefits of safely biking in their town.
Q4
As a Committee member, what ideas or projects are of interest to you? - Filling in the gaps where safe and efficient bike routes do not currently exist. - Coming up with solutions to problem intersections so cars, cyclists, and pedestrians can safely coexist. - Getting creative with funding so we can complete more projects.

I live in councilman Chavez's district. As one of few homeowners on my block, Weelo Drive, I can provide valuable feedback from other residents who are often ignored in simple things like permit parking which is only accessible to owners. As a bilingual resident, I find that my.neighbors are often ignored. Its.not fair and I can help.

Opening a street vendor location and offering case workers to navigate the permit.process with the county and to allocate funds for doing so. It shouldn't be the fairgrounds.

Indicate why you wish to serve on this Committee. Provide any experience or qualifications you may possess that you think would be beneficial to this Committee. A resume (optional) may be attached.
I am currently completing my first term on the Active Transportation Committee (ATC) and am applying for a second term to continue my efforts to promote the City Council's active transportation goals and objectives. The City of Costa Mesa's transition to a multi- modal transportation municipality will improve the quality of life for most Costa Mesans and enhance the social and economic well- being of our city.
During my first term on the ATC I brought ideas and energy to our proceedings, provided actionable input to City staff, and actively participated in community-based events that are consistent with the City Council's goals and objectives and compliment the progress made by our Public Works Department. I engaged with our residents and business community to better understand issues that need to be addressed as we make progress on our AT goals, including the need for e-bike education and enforcement. As a result, I was able to help develop and coordinate partnerships with non-profit groups, principally Walk 'n' Rollers, local e-bike businesses and volunteers to develop the first e-bike skills and safety training course in Orange County.
I would appreciate the Council's support for a second term on the ATC so that I can leverage my energies, experience and efforts promote City AT initiatives such as the bicycle and e-bike safety program that will be developed and rolled-out in 2024.
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Andrew Barnes

Q4
As a Committee member, what ideas or projects are of interest to you? Animal Service Committee - Outreach and pet licensing - Admittedly I have not been the best about licensing my dogs and I think a huge part of it is that it is just not on my mind. So my goal would be to spread outreach possibly partnering with vets in the area to ensure that pets get licensed. I also want people to see what the benefits of what they get when they license their pet. Our community nextdoor posts are 35% lost pets and if we can implement something like an AI match of found pets to the photos of licensed ones I think we can be able to help with that. Another way to promote licensing is to do chip events. A lot of people think their pet is chipped but they don't know for certain and if their pet is chipped, a lot of times it could be outdated information. By holding an event where we can scan and assist residents in updating their pets chips we can demonstrate tangible value of getting their pet licensed.
Finance and Pension Advisory Committee - Besides reviewing the city's budgets, finances, investments and contracts I am not sure what specific projects the committee normally takes on. I am however, very eager to learn more about our city's financial operations and contribute in any way I can.

I moved to Costa Mesa 4 years ago.
Coming to Costa Mesa our housing plans were upended due to COVID, complications with COVID, mental illness in my family , Ana’s not realizing how complicated the housing market in Costa Mesa was and is. After a pending all of our savings and down payment for a home in the hotel and motels here and in Orange County we realized that even though living in Costa Mesa was our dream it wasn’t happening as we expected. But that did not stop Costa Mesa from becoming our home.
The housing situation here is in crisis. Costa Mesa is our home and I have recently went into real estate to better develop an understanding on how to help Costa Mesans own their homes, protect their businesses and learn the levels of ownership and how to make best use of the land. With my experience of being unhoused and among the working under-employed, I now have education in Real Estate and Real Estate law through University of California Irvine. With education, experience, and a love and commitment to Costa Mesa; I have an understanding of the crisis nature and want to be a part of the best possible solutions as we continue to build a beautiful Costa Mesa. Thank you for your consideration.
Q4
As a Committee member, what ideas or projects are of interest to you? Housing developments, unhoused population assistance or even relocation, housing solutions, potential Fairview Developmental Center housing project. Real Estate in general.

As part of my work, I’ve designed and implemented strategies to disseminate messages on issues that improve the lives of everyday people. Along the way, I have worked on communications for organizations including President Obama’s reelection campaign and civil rights coalitions led by formerly incarcerated people fighting for the right to vote. This experience has given me the ability to identify communications goals from broader projects, as well as a keen sense for segmenting audiences and formulating tactics to reach them. If appointed to the Housing and Public Services Grant Committee, my professional experience would add value to the committee.
I also believe that it’s important to regularly probe whether communications practices are grounded in the values and realities of the communities that entities such as the committee intend to serve. In my work as a communications professional, I’ve trained hundreds of advocates and community members, from members of the judiciary to immigrants fighting for their rights, on how to formulate their own communications strategies and use spokesperson tactics in order to further the causes they work on. Ultimately, when impacted people are involved, the work becomes stronger, and the same goes for the work of the committee.
Lastly, I am interested in joining the committee because I deeply believe in its mission. While my family and I are lucky to live in Costa Mesa, too many of our neighbors feel the enormous pressure of a difficult housing market. The committee’s work is an important component of a broader network of solutions to bring more opportunities and relief for Costa Mesans. It would be deeply meaningful for me to be a part of this work and I hope you’ll consider my application. # 22

Thank you for the opportunity to reapply as a member of the Housing and Public Service Grants Committee. I have served one-term on the committee representing Council District 4 in Westside Costa Mesa. It has been a wonderful opportunity to be part of the process recommending to the City Council our annual Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) public service grant awards to nonprofit organizations addressing housing, homelessness and economic development needs for vulnerable populations in our community.
I believe my service on the committee, as well as my professional experience in federal and state government and health care leadership lends to the committee’s mission in helping distribute CDBG funding and promoting accountability and key outcomes for the services delivered by grantees in our community.

My husband and I live in Playport Mobile Home Park where I have served as the secretary for our Mobile Home H.O.A. for the past 8 years.

Q3
Indicate why you wish to serve on this Committee. Provide any experience or qualifications you may possess that you think would be beneficial to this Committee. A resume (optional) may be attached.
I am writing to express my keen interest in serving on the Mobile Home Advisory Committee for the City of Costa Mesa, California. My interest in this committee stems from my deep commitment to the well-being and prosperity of the mobile home community in Costa Mesa, as well as my desire to leverage my extensive experience in the sector to benefit the city and its residents.
For over a decade, I have been intricately involved in the management and ownership of mobile home parks within Costa Mesa. This experience has afforded me a comprehensive understanding of the unique challenges and opportunities faced by mobile home residents and park operators. I have successfully navigated issues related to zoning, affordability, community relations, and infrastructure improvements, demonstrating a consistent ability to balance the needs of residents with the operational requirements of mobile home parks.
Throughout my tenure as a mobile home park owner and manager, I have prioritized the creation of safe, welcoming, and vibrant communities. My efforts have included implementing sustainable practices, enhancing community facilities, and fostering a sense of belonging among residents. These initiatives have not only improved the quality of life for residents but have also contributed to the broader community’s cohesion and resilience.
My experience has also enabled me to develop strong relationships with city officials, residents, and other stakeholders. I am adept at facilitating constructive dialogue and building consensus among diverse groups, skills I believe would be invaluable to the Committee.

Q4
As a Committee member, what ideas or projects are of interest to you? As a prospective member of the Mobile Home Advisory Committee, I am deeply interested in developing and supporting initiatives that enhance the quality of life for residents of mobile home parks, ensure the sustainability of these communities, and foster inclusivity and resilience. Drawing from my experience in managing and owning mobile home parks in Costa Mesa, I have identified several key areas where I believe impactful projects can be initiated:
Affordability and Financial Assistance Programs: One of my primary interests lies in exploring and expanding affordability and financial assistance programs for mobile home residents. This could include developing subsidies or grants for low-income families, creating partnerships with local banks for favorable loan conditions, or establishing emergency funds to assist residents facing financial hardships.
Infrastructure Improvement and Sustainability Projects: I am keen on leading projects focused on infrastructure improvements within mobile home parks, such as upgrading utility systems, enhancing connectivity and accessibility, and incorporating green spaces and recreational facilities. Sustainability projects could also include solar panel installations and water conservation systems to reduce utility costs for residents and promote environmental stewardship.
Community Engagement and Empowerment Initiatives: Building strong, cohesive communities is essential. I am interested in creating programs that encourage community engagement, such as organizing town hall meetings, establishing resident advisory boards, and hosting community events. Empowerment initiatives could also involve providing residents with education and training opportunities on topics such as homeownership, financial literacy, and legal rights.
Policy Advocacy and Regulatory Reform: Given the regulatory challenges often faced by mobile home communities, I aim to advocate for policy changes that provide clearer protections for residents and park owners alike. This could involve working with local government officials to revise zoning laws, improve safety regulations, and streamline the permit process for renovations and upgrades.
Technology and Innovation for Mobile Home Living: I believe there is significant potential to leverage technology to improve the mobile home living experience. Projects could include developing a mobile app for community communication, implementing smart home technologies for energy efficiency, and exploring modular and prefabricated housing options to enhance affordability and design flexibility.
By focusing on these areas, I aim to contribute to the development of sustainable, vibrant, and inclusive mobile home communities in Costa Mesa. I am committed to leveraging my experience, along with input from residents and stakeholders, to identify and prioritize projects that will have the most meaningful and lasting impact.
