Submit Date: May 15, 2023 Culver City Commissions, Boards, and Committees Application Form
Profile
Thank you for your interest in volunteering your time and expertise to the Culver City community.
The information contained on this application is for use by the City in reviewing candidates to fill vacancies on City Commissions, Committees, and Boards. During consideration of applicants, the City may consider the information contained in this application, any required supplemental questionnaire, and any other publicly available information. An appointment to any Commission, Board or Committee is at the discretion of the appointing authority.
Ethics and Avoidance of Conflicts of Interest
As a reflection of the residents of the community, Culver City prides itself on the high ethical standards adhered to by its municipal government. As a prospective applicant, we want you to be informed about potential limitations that state and local law impose on individuals who serve the community, especially where they may have a financial conflict of interest. Please consider this information before submitting an application and accepting an appointment. Further information and training regarding these limitations, as well as other legal and procedural requirements when serving on these bodies (i.e. Brown Act, ethics laws, etc.), will be provided in the event you are appointed to one of the City’s commissions, committees, or boards.
State law has established regulations intended to ensure that a public official does not use his or her position for personal, financial benefit.
• The California Political Reform Act prohibits a public official (including any of the City’s commission, committee, or board members) from participating in any decision or deliberation that might affect the official’s own financial interests. In such a situation, the official must publicly disclose the potential conflict of interest, recuse himself or herself from the item being discussed, and leave the meeting room while the matter is considered. • Government Code Section 1090 imposes an even stricter prohibition. It prohibits a local body from “making” a contract with one of its own members (even if the member has recused him or herself), which includes all aspects of contract formation, including such actions as influencing the contract’s scope or the selection of a contractor.
A community member volunteering to sit on a City commission, committee, or board should be aware of these restrictions and take them into consideration before applying for or accepting appointment to any of these bodies.
If you have questions about this information and how it may apply to your particular situation, please contact the City Attorney’s Office at (310) 253-5660.

Application Questions
For the body(ies) to which you seek appointment(s), what have you determined to be the primary role of the body?
The primary role of the commission is to advise the city council, city manager, and city staff on all mattersrelated to the parks. These matters can include programming, such as advice on the camps, after schoolprograms, special events and other programs, and matters on the physical space. The commissioner'srole is advisory and is there to help the city better use its resources and provide citizen input.
Why do you seek appointment on the body(ies)? Please be specific to the body(ies)'s role.
I love Culver City parks and spend a lot of time in them. We are in the parks several times a week atsoccer or baseball practice; playing at the playgrounds; attending birthday parties and community events;and going to the dog park. My kids also attend summer camp at Parks and Rec. In the summer, we loveto go to the Plunge. Because I spend a lot of time at the parks, I see both what is great about our parksand what could be made better. As the council has decided to start the process of revamping Vets and BillBots/ Culver, it is important to have the voice of community members who use the parks regularly heard.
What is there specifically in your background, training, education or interests that qualifies you for appointment? What special qualities and/or qualifications can you bring to the body(ies) to which you seek appointment(s)?
As an academic, I have sat on a lot of committees that have advised on everything from who we shouldhire to how a program should be run. I currently run a interdisciplinary major with several staff members. Iunderstand budget limitations, how to take in the views of multiple stakeholders, run meetings efficiently,and make recommendations.
How do you envision fulfilling the objectives, and/or goals of the body(ies), as established by the City Council?
Most importantly, I think the role of the commission is to help get feedback from the community through itsmeetings and other activities. In addition to preparing for and attending meetings, I would try to get moreof the parenting/ local youth groups involved. In particular, I have deep ties to CCLL and AYSO along withlocal mom's groups. As such, I can gather feedback from a large swath of regular park users.

Please upload a file to attach supplemental information, if desired.
How many meetings of the commission(s), board(s), or committee(s), to which you are interested in being appointed have you attended? Please indicate how often and when.
None.
I am pretty new to getting involved with the city because my kids were young.
Now that they are a
bit older, I have more time to get involved.
How much time, on a monthly basis, can you commit to reviewing materials in preparation for attendance at meetings of the body(ies) to which you desire appointment? As a professor with tenure, I have much control over how I spend my time.
I can easily spend several
hours reviewing material and attending meetings.
Is there anything else you would like to add that has not been covered by your answers to the prior questions? (You may attach supplemental information below.) You are invited to attach additional pages, enclose a copy of your resume and/or submit supplemental information which you feel may assist the appointing authority in its evaluation of your application.

Supplemental Questions
Margaret Peters
Question applies to
Parks, Recreation and Community Services Commission
How many meetings of the Parks, Recreation, and Community Services Commission have you watched on cable or via the internet in the last year? What was your impression of those meetings? What, if anything, would you change?
None.
I didn't know when they were and I think that is a big problem.
The commission should be working
with local stakeholder groups (CCLE, AYSO, parents of kids who go to camp/afterschool) to better advertise the meetings.
Question applies to
Parks, Recreation and Community Services Commission
What Parks, Recreation and/or Community Services experience would you bring to the PRCS Commission?
I'm active in AYSO, Culver City Little League, and Girl Scout as well as parenting groups.
Using that
experience, I understand the different demands on the parks.
I also have served as a member of the
School Site Council at La Ballona and am a newly elected member of the Council of PTAs for Culver City, so I also have an understanding for the varied needs of the community.
Question applies to
Parks, Recreation and Community Services Commission
What makes the PRCS Commission the commission that you want to be on, as opposed to being a member of any of the other Commissions, Committees, and Boards? My family uses the parks here in Culver City at least 3-4 times a week for youth sports, to play at the playground, attend birthday parties, swim at the plunge.
We also go to parks in LA City.
And, I see the
huge differences in quality between LA parks and our parks.
I want to join this committee to help refurbish
the parks and make them accessible for all residents.
Thank You
The City Clerk's Office encourages all interested persons to apply for all positions in which they have an interest!
