City of Costa Mesa Application for City Committee (2025) 2 / 3
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.

Dear city council members,
My name is Jose Toscano, and I am writing to express my interest in serving in one of two city committees: the Active Transportation Committee and the Fairview Park Steering Committee. As a longtime resident of this great city, I have been engaged and involved in finding ways to improve our city for all. This last year, I got out of my bubble and spoke with the residents. From the residents of Mesa Verde to Eastside, to College Park, to Westside, to Mesa del Mar residents, I spoke with people of all backgrounds, ethnicities, and differing views, but what I found that we had most in common was our shared love for our city. I would like to serve on any of these committees to provide a new and fresh perspective. I applied to serve on the Parks and Community Service Commission earlier this year. While I didn’t get appointed, it brought a valuable experience that strengthened my motivation to serve. As the youngest commission applicant in the city's history at age 19, I found that age wasn’t a barrier to making a difference. I met residents of all generations volunteering their free time with the typical shared goal of improving the city and conserving what makes it great.

I want to serve on the Fairview Park Steering Committee because Fairview Park is an important part of our community and contributes to our city's uniqueness and beauty. I’m an active community member and have been a resident of Costa Mesa practically my whole life. I believe I can contribute to advising the council on ways to preserve the park and find common-ground solutions to improve it.

Fairview Park is a massive part of my childhood. When I was a kid, I remember my family couldn’t afford to go to many places, and we were fortunate enough to have a vast open green space in our city to enjoy and escape from the neighborhood where I grew up that lacked any green space. I want other generations to have the same opportunity that I once did and continue to preserve the accessibility and safety of the park for all residents alike. If appointed to this committee, I will attend every meeting and strongly advocate for its conservation.

As for the Active Transportation Committee, I would like to serve for various reasons. First, for the city to be inclusive of all residents, we must take steps to protect the safety of those who can not afford a car or would like to find healthier alternatives to commute, such as biking. However, we must also consider the perspectives of residents of the affected areas where the new bike lanes will be installed. As somebody who grew up in a low-income neighborhood on the city's west side, I’ve witnessed firsthand the concern of transportation. Many of my neighbors had no choice but to bike to commute to do necessities such as school, work, grocery shopping, etc. To this day, I engage with people who bike in Costa Mesa daily and have brought up safety concerns. We must realize that many residents simply can’t afford a car, and we must accommodate that to ensure their safety. If appointed to this committee, I will engage with all perspectives on the transportation issue and prioritize equity, sustainability, and community safety.

Q4
As a Committee member, what ideas or projects are of interest to you? I would like to see something done about planes flying over Fairview Park, which has been causing a lot of noise pollution. This has been a common concern for citizens, and I have heard a lot about it as it impacts the quality of life and the park's natural environment.

Q3

My career path has been focused on transportation and mobility. As a resident of Costa Mesa I want to apply my skill set to assisting in preforming my civic duty to help better the community in which i live.

Q4
As a Committee member, what ideas or projects are of interest to you? As a proud resident of Costa Mesa it has been amazing to see the growth that the city has experienced as well as the elevated commerce and cultural options. With that growth it will be imperative to have the proper transportation network of all mobilities as well as have a sound parking plan for areas that are over parked and with low inventory exceeding capacity.

I’ve seen the improvements made to the city’s bicycle network, but I think there is still a lot to do.

Q2
Indicate the name of the Committee you are interested in serving on:

I've been a resident of Costa Mesa for over six years and I currently live on the westside. I like to cycle as an athlete but I also ride for fun and to get around town. One of my favorite ways to spend my free time is charting out and exploring new bike routes through Orange County and beyond. I have a lot of experience with bike paths and cycling infrastructure all around California. I can spot ideas that look good on paper but don't necessarily work in the real world- sharrows immediately come to mind. I've spent time riding in Northern California and have seen really great concepts like San Francisco's "green wave", where traffic lights sync up to allow cyclists to ride smoothly at a specific speed. I want to bring my first hand, on-the-street, experience to the Active Transportation Committee.

Additionally, I grew up in a household where not all of my family members could drive. My dad rode his bike to work, day in and day out, until he retired. In his retirement, he gets around town by walking and riding an e-bike. This influenced me to see walking and cycling as not just leisure and recreational activities, but as necessary and legitimate ways of getting from point A to point B. We need to do our best to serve our community that walks, bikes, and rides the bus rather than drives. Walking, cycling, and riding the bus should be dignified and we need to provide the right infrastructure.

Lastly, I currently work for a city government. I have experience with circulation elements, plans, and public meetings. My professional experience makes me well equipped to understand the types of material we will be expected to read and vote on. #39#39

Q4
As a Committee member, what ideas or projects are of interest to you? I've appreciated the roll out of the Adams Ave bike lanes, bollards along Placentia, and bike boxes. I want to help prioritize and implement similar projects that connect our City. We've got some great bike trails and paths, but they don't connect. The prime example I can think of: we don't have a continuous path to get from the Santa Ana River Trail to the Back Bay. No matter where you exit the SART, at some point you end up cycling on a road that doesn't have a bike lane. I think we can get a lot more people out of cars and on bikes if we eliminate these missing links. The Santa Ana Ave bike lane gap in front of Kaiser Elementary demonstrated just how much our community wants the infrastructure to bike more. I want to help make things like that happen.

Q2
Indicate the name of the Committee you are interested in serving on:

I wish to serve on the Active Transportation Committee because active transportation is my favorite form of transportation. I love being able to live and work in the same community, and that the city of Costa Mesa is committed to building infrastructure that allows all of it's constituents to commute safely by bicycle and other alternatives to automobiles.

The most significant reason I wish to serve on this committee is because in January of this year I was in fact in an accident while riding my bike to work. Fortunately I received only a minor injury, but I must admit getting hit by a car is quite radicalizing. Since then I have attended an advocacy workshop run by the League of American Bicyclists and have become a certified League Cycling Advocate. Not only would I love to share my knowledge and experience with the committee, I am even more excited by the idea of being able to learn from the other committee members about the amazing work they're doing to create a safer and more ridable community.

You can find me actively transporting myself to work (Pitfire Pizza) and school (OCC) where I'm studying political science. See you on the road!

Q4
As a Committee member, what ideas or projects are of interest to you? I love the Safe Routes to School Action Plan. I think creating an integrated system that allows not only students but the entire community to safely commute from point A to point B anywhere within our city and beyond is amazing.

I think people are more connected to their community when they walk or ride through them, and building out our infrastructure is a great first step toward encouraging that behavior. We have the opportunity to build beautiful infrastructure that makes people want to use it.

Another concern I have is that I think at the bedrock of "active transportation" is an affordability issue. Cars are expensive and the cost of living is ever increasing. Building active transportation infrastructure will increase the equity in our community. Roads can only be used by those who can afford to, but sidewalks and bike paths can be used by everyone.

Q2
Indicate the name of the Committee you are interested in serving on:

The last thing I would want to do is to get in the way of someone more qualified than me, or to block someone's first step of getting more involved. But I'm throwing my hat in the ring in case few people are applying and/or if anyone thinks that my experience and insight would be useful and a good fit for the committee. No hard feelings if I'm passed over.

Making our streets more safe, comfortable, and beautiful, along with the twin goal of reducing car-dependency, is really the "single issue" that I have the time and energy to dedicate any free time to. I've helped lead the Costa Mesa Alliance for Better Streets for several years, served on the Planning Commission, and work for a respected urban design firm.

My family of four (+ dog) has lived for several years with a single car, which typically is reserved for my wife–leaving me getting all over town on my bike. When my kids were smaller, our "second car" was a front-loaded Urban Arrow electric cargo bike that we put hundreds of miles on. My kids still get to and from school every day on their own bikes. I am committed to ensuring that they can get around safely.

Q4
As a Committee member, what ideas or projects are of interest to you? I think that the City has done a fantastic job over the past five years when it comes to making active transportation more safe and comfortable, and I am committed to that momentum continuing. Here are my big thoughts/ideas:
- Figuring out how to do more with less. Federal grant money may be drying up and we need to keep moving forward even with smaller budgets for AT projects.
- Building out a bikeable network and closing gaps in that network. This is especially true at intersections and connecting bikeable streets across major streets like Newport Blvd.
- Focusing on reclaiming street space, slowing traffic speeds, and modal filtering (this includes finally implementing what the ATP calls Class III Bicycle Boulevards).
- Improving our MO when it comes to Class IV lanes–i.e. coming up with more permanet and attractive designs, either from the start or as a "phase 2" after a trial.
- Helping give input on specific designs, to help ensure that are streets remain/become intuitive and convenient for all users.

Q2
Indicate the name of the Committee you are interested in serving on:

Hi! I wish to serve on the Active Transportation Committee of Costa Mesa because I believe the fundamental key to leading a healthy and fulfilled life is walkable and bikeable cities. Access to spontaneous meet-ups, running into your neighbors, outdoor recreation, and safer methods of getting around are important to create community and create your "village." Relying on your community and deep social connection are the best ways to live healthier and longer. There are so many studies that report how loneliness, static social skills, and inactivity are the silent killer(s). We can support and uplift our neighbors and circles to live better by providing pedestrian and cycling connectivity in our neck of the woods, and I want to be a part of it! I believe I would be a beneficial addition to this committee for two reasons:
- I am under 30 years old, unmarried, and make less than $80,000 per year. I represent a demographic of people in Costa Mesa that may otherwise feel under-represented or unrepresented. I may represent those who don't drive, can't drive, or are find driving financially prohibitive. To those groups of people, pedestrian and cycle connectivity is vital. - I am employed as an Operations Manager, so I understand the inner workings of project management and how new projects come to fruition. I am often looped into conversation or added to committees for projects such as new licenses, financial process overhaul, building renovations, or maintenance programs. A large part of my job is based around how to improve processes and improve connection.

Fairview Park Steering Committee
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 have been a long time advocate for Fairview Park and the natural, cultural, and recreational resources it provides to Costa Mesa. I am applying to become a member of the Fairview Park Steering committee because I believe Fairview Park is a long term repository of resources that will enhance the quality of life of all Costa Mesans and the region for generations to come. These same resources help us learn about and understand the very nature of life and the impacts that have already happened and what can be mitigated for a bright future for Fairview Park. Advising the Council and Parks and Community Services commission is vital in helping them make the best decisions for the continued availability and use of all of Fairview Park's attributes. I believe this committee's recommendations must be based on all aspects of the issues. Committee members should take into account the legal aspects along with all community input, with an open mind, in reaching a conclusion.

They should also have an understanding of the short and long term effects and outcomes of those recommendations.

I fully understand the time commitment for such a position. I have demonstrated the willingness and ability to participate completely.

As a resident of Costa Mesa, I want to assure that the quality of life we share will continue into the future and any part, which I can help mold, would be an honor. While I would be appointed by the Council, I believe my responsibility is to represent the residents of Costa Mesa

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 would like to continue making contributions to the park’s evolution as a natural resource for both preservation and utilization. I have served on the Fairview Park Steering Committee since its inception in October 2017 and have a strong working knowledge of the committee history, the historical development of the park lands, and a 35-year career in science and engineering nurturing public resources. I am very familiar with both City projects in the park and Measure AA limitations. I have been active on the committee serving leadership terms as the vice chair and chair and on several subcommittees.

I have a unique professional skill set that is useful to Costa Mesa. In my 35+ year career, I have been a planning manager, geologist, hydrologist, a water operations and maintenance manager, and a water facilities program manager. I have chaired professional committees that involve other stakeholders, including general manager, engineers, water rights attorneys, scientists, and lay persons. I serve as a technical expert for the National Water Resources Institute and the Water Resources Federation. I regularly make technical presentations at professional conferences. I have successfully applied and receive grant funding for water projects. I continue to manage a water system that provides 40,000 acre-feet of water, which is in excess of Mesa Water District’s 15,000 acre-feet of potable water delivery. With my participation, that water system is poised to grow to 45,000 acre-feet in the next 5 years through advanced water treatment and an innovative approach to aquifer injection well design. My career in water resources includes 9 years with Orange County Water District, 8 years with URS Corporation (an engineering firm), and 20 years with Inland Empire Utilities Agency.

I wish to continue providing assistance to my City and community giving freely of my experience and dedication. I have assisted the Fairview Park Coordinators and committee members through discussions on wetlands system, watersheds, bluff erosion, geology, aquifer systems, and topography. With my experiences as a planner and program manager, I have promoted ideas for Fairview Park restoration with reasonable use. I initiated the idea of the bluff trail repair that raised the perimeter road several inches to keep water from flowing over into erosional galleys. This idea was formulated through elevation surveying and observation of erosion patterns along the bluff, and suggesting the repair would both improve vernal pool inflow and slow the safety issue of bluff erosion. I have been active in responding to other City department requests for input into planning efforts that overlap with Fairview Park, such as the Storm Drain Master Plan elements in Fairview Park. I assisted Costa Mesa in their review and selection of a consultant for the master plan.

The Steering Committee is also an opportunity to support my community through my background, experience and volunteerism. Aside from my long-standing dedication to my City through the Fairview Park Steering Committee, I have been dedicated to Costa Mesa’s youth through recreational sports, including being a coach and referee for AYSO soccer Region 120 (Costa Mesa-Newport Beach), a staff umpire for Little League International California District 62 (Costa Mesa-Huntington Beach-Fountain Valley), past Umpire in Chief for Costa Mesa National Little League, and an umpire for USA Softball. I have also been a leader in the local YMCA Y-Guides Programs.

As a 30 year resident of Costa Mesa, I wish to see Fairview Park come to fruition. As a young adult I would frequent the area that became Fairview Park. My children grew to adulthood having experiences available in the park, including OCME influencing my son into a love of locomotion and into his degree of applied physics. At the time of AA, I was influenced by a group of young boys making super 8 war movies among the waste soil berms and vowed that the park should be shaped to allow imagination, use, and conservation harmoniously. Each of these traits is important for the use of this space. 247
City of Costa Mesa Application for City Committee (2025) 3 / 3
Q4
As a Committee member, what ideas or projects are of interest to you? I am interested in the geotechnical and hydrological aspects of the park, and their nexus to park restoration and public education. With my backgrounds, I have a deep appreciate for the long natural history of the park’s geologic formation and the issue the City faces with bluff slope stability, removal of historical fill material, and protecting/restoring water flow, ponding, and erosion. I would like to participate in celebrating the long human history of the region. These geologic interests lend themselves to educational opportunities of the mesa formation, understanding faults, and appreciating groundwater. I am also interested in other natural science fields such as archeology and the characterization of plant and animals that visit the park. I have submitted documents to the first park administrators for docent training in these areas and would like to see such a program developed.

Finance and Pension Advisory Committee
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 eager to serve on the Finance and Pension Advisory Committee because I am deeply committed to supporting sound financial planning and providing strategic guidance on pension systems to ensure their sustainability and efficiency. With over 32 years of experience in financial advising, including wealth management, retirement planning, and investment strategies, I have developed a comprehensive understanding of how important financial decisions impact both individuals and institutions.

Throughout my career, I have worked closely with individuals, families, and business owners to navigate complex financial landscapes, emphasizing long-term financial security, tax-efficient investment strategies, and retirement preparedness. These experiences have equipped me with the skills to assess, evaluate, and recommend effective solutions for pension plans and broader financial management strategies.

Serving on this committee would allow me to contribute my expertise to help improve the financial health of Costa Mesa, ensuring that pension plans remain strong and provide security for all employees involved. I am particularly passionate about finding balanced, practical approaches to finance and pension management that align with both short-term needs and long-term goals, helping to create sustainable outcomes for future generations.

I am confident that my background in financial advisory services, coupled with my professional designations as a Chartered Life Underwriter (CLU) and Chartered Financial Consultant (ChFC), would enable me to offer valuable insights on financial planning and risk management. I would be honored to contribute to the important work of the committee, helping to shape policies that ensure the financial well-being of those relying on the pension system #16#16

Q4
As a Committee member, what ideas or projects are of interest to you? As a financial advisor with extensive experience in retirement planning, wealth management, and tax-advantaged investment strategies, I am particularly interested in projects that promote the long-term financial security and sustainability of pension plans.

Below are several key areas I would be excited to contribute to:

1. Enhancing Pension Plan Sustainability
One area I’m passionate about is evaluating and improving the long-term sustainability of pension plans. This could involve conducting stress tests to assess how different market conditions, demographic shifts, or economic downturns may impact the solvency of pension systems. I would be eager to collaborate on projects that seek to develop strategies for ensuring pension plans remain adequately funded and meet future obligations.

2. Optimizing Investment Strategies for Pension Funds
I am particularly interested in exploring investment strategies that optimize returns while managing risk, particularly in an environment of fluctuating interest rates and market volatility. Identifying and recommending diversified investment portfolios that balance risk, return, and liquidity needs for pension funds would be an exciting project. Additionally, incorporating tax-efficient investment practices into pension management to maximize returns for participants would be an area I’d like to focus on.

3. Retirement Planning and Financial Literacy Initiatives Educating both pension beneficiaries and the wider community about retirement planning, financial literacy, and understanding their pension benefits is crucial. I’d be interested in spearheading initiatives aimed at improving financial literacy, helping individuals better understand their pension plans, and providing clear strategies for maximizing their retirement income. By addressing knowledge gaps and promoting informed decision-making, we can ensure that beneficiaries are better prepared for retirement.

4. Reviewing and Modernizing Pension Structures
Pension plans often face challenges as they attempt to keep up with changing work patterns, longer life expectancies, and evolving economic conditions. I am interested in collaborating on projects that assess the current pension plan structures and explore ways to modernize them. This could involve evaluating the potential for hybrid pension models that combine defined benefit and defined contribution features, as well as assessing the viability of offering more flexible retirement options to participants.

5. Exploring Pension Plan Access and Equity
Another area of interest for me is ensuring equitable access to pension plans for all individuals, including those in underrepresented or underserved communities. Projects focused on broadening participation in pension plans, addressing disparities, and improving the inclusivity of retirement benefits would be rewarding and impactful. I believe that fostering greater access to retirement savings opportunities will contribute to the overall well-being of communities.

In summary, I am passionate about projects that advance the sustainability, efficiency, and inclusivity of pension systems while ensuring they remain resilient in the face of evolving economic challenges. I look forward to collaborating with fellow committee members to shape policies and projects that safeguard the financial future of all beneficiaries.

Q4
As a Committee member, what ideas or projects are of interest to you? As a member of the Finance and Pension Advisory Committee, I am particularly interested in projects that ensure the long-term financial health of Costa Mesa while maintaining a competitive and sustainable benefits structure for city employees. One key area of focus is striking the right balance between fiscal responsibility and offering attractive compensation and benefits packages that allow the city to recruit and retain top talent.

Maintaining a well-funded pension system is critical, but it must be done in a way that aligns with the city’s overall financial strategy and does not overburden future budgets. I am interested in exploring data-driven approaches to pension funding, cost containment strategies, and innovative benefits structures that enhance employee satisfaction while safeguarding the city’s financial stability.

Additionally, I see value in enhancing transparency in financial decision-making, ensuring that Costa Mesa residents understand the trade-offs involved in budget and pension planning. Exploring best practices from other municipalities, assessing investment strategies for pension funds, and leveraging financial forecasting tools to guide long-term decision-making are all areas where I believe I can contribute.

By balancing prudent financial management with a competitive employment environment, we can help ensure Costa Mesa remains a thriving and well-run city, both now and in the future.

Q2
Indicate the name of the Committee you are interested in serving on:

We need to shift paradigms to solve our housing and social structure problems. The same old methods of solving problems providing housing will not continue to work. We need a new approach to solving these problems.

I am retired electrical engineer at theLong Beach Naval Shipyard, and a union representative at the shipyard. I have experience in designing electrical and some mechanical systems. I also have experience mediation, arbitration, grievance handling and generally trying to solve problems. I am currently a volunteer in my congregation’s men’s club and Sierra Club Orange County group, Orange County group political committee. I am a registered electrical engineer in California.

My career at Long Beach Naval Shipyard and as a union rep, and as an officer of the Men’s Club, I had to work with budget, balance budgets, and learned to obtain the proper funds, set goals and evaluating the results.

In the 1970s I was appointed to a committee with a similar goals as this committee for the city of Costa Mesa.

Q4
As a Committee member, what ideas or projects are of interest to you? Loneliness is the number one problem today. Loneliness reduces life expectancy by the equivalent of a pack of cigarettes a day.

Housing and public service projects need to have as part of its priorities how these these projects interconnect people together not just provide a box to live in or specific project functions. We need a connected society that brings people together and provides a diverse, caring community.

Public funds cannot alone solve these problems, but we need to get various groups, social community religious groups together to interact with these projects to make them viable.

Indicate the name of the Committee you are interested in serving on:

As a current member of the Costa Mesa Housing and Public Service Grants Committee, I have seen firsthand the important role we play in ensuring that funding is allocated to programs that directly benefit our community’s most vulnerable residents. It has been an honor to serve in this capacity, and I am eager to continue contributing my expertise and passion to support Costa Mesa’s housing initiatives and public service programs.

I have dedicated my career to addressing homelessness, housing instability, and community development. As the Executive Director of United to End Homelessness, an initiative of Orange County United Way, I have led impactful housing initiatives and forged strong partnerships across the county.

Through my work, I have extensive experience evaluating grant proposals, working with nonprofit organizations, and ensuring funding is used efficiently and strategically. I have also been honored with the 2024 Education & Nonprofit Visionary Award for my leadership in the nonprofit sector, reinforcing my commitment to making a measurable impact.

I also serve on the Continuum of Care (CoC) Board, where I collaborate with regional stakeholders to develop and implement strategies to combat homelessness and distribute $35m in federal funds. This role has provided me with invaluable experience in policy development, funding allocation, and interagency coordination—all of which enhance my ability to serve effectively on the Costa Mesa Housing and Public Service Grants Committee.

My continued service on this committee will allow me to apply my expertise in strategic funding allocation, program evaluation, and community engagement to ensure Costa Mesa’s housing and public service grants continue to support the most effective programs. I care deeply about our city and the people we serve, and I would be honored to remain a part of this important work. #12#12

Q2
Indicate the name of the Committee you are interested in serving on:

As a homeowner in District 3 and a parent raising three kids in Costa Mesa, I am deeply invested in the future of our city. I became a residential architect to dedicate my career to creating homes that enhance people’s lives of all economic levels, and I believe thoughtful housing solutions play a crucial role in shaping a thriving, inclusive community. I want to contribute my expertise to support initiatives that increase housing accessibility and improve the quality of life for residents, particularly those facing financial or systemic barriers to stable housing.

I am passionate about being part of meaningful change in how we provide housing in Costa Mesa, and it would be an honor to contribute to this process and help move our council toward solutions that create a lasting impact. By serving on this committee, I also hope to play a role as a community advocate—connecting with Costa Mesa residents to help them understand what the city is doing to improve housing through government funding and ensuring that their needs and concerns are represented in the decision-making process.

Q4
As a Committee member, what ideas or projects are of interest to you? I am interested in projects that expand affordable housing opportunities and support a diverse, vibrant community. This includes funding programs that assist low-income families, seniors, and individuals experiencing housing insecurity, as well as creative housing solutions such as ADUs and adaptive reuse of existing structures. I also want to explore how public service grants can support organizations that foster inclusion—whether through housing assistance, cultural programs, or creative community spaces. Costa Mesa is a unique city with a rich mix of cultures, economic backgrounds, and creative energy, and I want to help ensure that our housing policies and public services reflect and support that diversity. #27#27

Indicate the name of the Committee you are interested in serving on:

I am excited to apply to the Housing and Public Service Grants Committee, eager to contribute my skills and deep-rooted connection to Costa Mesa to ensure that critical funding is allocated effectively for the benefit of our community.

My background as a writer and journalist for the Orange County Register has given me the ability to research, analyze, and communicate complex ideas clearly. Currently, I serve as Director of Campaign & Executive Communications for the Hoag Hospital Foundation, the philanthropic arm of the Hoag Health System. I work closely with a wide range of stakeholders—donors, clinicians, patients, and community partners—each with their own priorities. My role is interpersonal, requiring me to build relationships, craft compelling narratives, and philanthropic proposals.

Costa Mesa is not just where I grew up—it is my home. As a proud graduate of Costa Mesa's public schools, I was fortunate to benefit from the resources and enriching experiences provided by local organizations. While I have had the opportunity to travel and live in other places, this city holds a special place in my heart, and my family continues to proudly reside in this community. I also believe in being a good steward of public funds, ensuring that resources are allocated wisely to organizations that will create meaningful impact.

This would be my first foray into government involvement, and I recognize that there will be a learning curve. However, I am eager to learn and I am committed to approaching this role with dedication and an open mind. With my combined experience in storytelling, communications, and philanthropy, I believe I can bring a thoughtful, informed perspective to the committee’s work.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

As a Committee member, what ideas or projects are of interest to you? I am especially interested in education, children's literacy, and skill-based learning. I recognize that homelessness remains a central issue in our community, affecting many families, including children. I would be eager to learn how we can do more to support these families, ensuring that children can focus on their education and experience the fundamental joys of childhood.

Additionally, I believe it’s crucial to help individuals develop new skills or strengthen foundational ones, such as reading and writing. I know the city already partners with several nonprofits supporting children, seniors, and those experiencing homelessness, and I would be excited to build on that support to help even more people thrive.

I recognize the importance of funding programs that promote long-term sustainability and empowerment. I would be eager to learn how we can ensure that resources are used strategically to create lasting, positive change.

In general, I would be interested in learning more about the process for soliciting and receiving grant applications, exploring opportunities to diversify the initiatives the city funds, and identifying ways to maximize our collective impact in the community. I’m also genuinely interested in being civically engaged, as I believe it’s important to contribute to the growth and well-being of our Costa Mesa neighbors.
