Ethics and Avoidance of Conflicts of Interest
As a reflection of the residents of the community, Culver City prides itself on the highethical 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 imposeon individuals who serve the community, especially where they may have a financialconflict of interest. Please consider this information before submitting an applicationand accepting an appointment. Further information and training regarding theselimitations, as well as other legal and procedural requirements when serving on thesebodies (i.e. Brown Act, ethics laws, etc.), will be provided in the event you areappointed to one of the City’s commissions, committees, or boards.

State law has established regulations intended to ensure that a public official does notuse his or her position for personal, financial benefit. • The California Political Reform Act prohibits a public official (including any of theCity’s commission, committee, or board members) from participating in any decision ordeliberation 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 orherself from the item being discussed, and leave the meeting room while the matter isconsidered. • Government Code Section 1090 imposes an even stricter prohibition. It prohibits alocal body from “making” a contract with one of its own members (even if the memberhas recused him or herself), which includes all aspects of contract formation, includingsuch 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 boardshould be aware of these restrictions and take them into consideration before applyingfor or accepting appointment to any of these bodies.

For the body(ies) to which you seek appointment(s), what have youdetermined to be the primary role of the body? Apart from income barriers, I have observed that homelessness spills over from majormetros into surrounding accessible cities that have VA Centers, public transport poorly zonedresidential areas. I would think that this Committee would focus on two items: 1) providingalternate housing options and 2) work with the land use and planning department on zoningissues and providing public support systems Why do you seek appointment on the body(ies)? Please be specific to thebody(ies)'s role.

1. Homelessness exists in pockets and irrespective of the affluence of the area. You could goa block from an expensive zip to a non regulated non residential zone and you'll see signs ofself made homeless shelters. It is critical that this committee and the planning department towork together regarding land use and zoning issues to ensure conformity and misuse ofpublic property. 2. Homeless crimes usually occur within encampments/shelters and are nota major threat. This committee should communicate such items to the public 2. Homelessshelters/encampments move because they are afraid of authority. It may be idealistic but Ithink homeless persons a sense of direction and self worth and self value. One way to dothat is to involve them in community outreach programs.

What is there specifically in your background, training, education or intereststhat qualifies you for appointment? What special qualities and/orqualifications can you bring to the body(ies) to which you seekappointment(s)? The primary question is why do persons choose to live a homeless life? There are a possiblenumber of reasons which I would like to understand before recommending anything but Ithink we should direct our efforts, resources and plans on data based outcomes and perhapseven copy from what has worked in other smaller cities like ours.

How do you envision fulfilling the objectives, and/or goals of the body(ies), asestablished by the City Council? Build agreement and consensus within and with other advisory bodies and departments thatrepresent the city. Listen, learn and recommend.

What special qualities and/orqualifications can you bring to the body(ies) to which you seekappointment(s)? In all of my roles, I've managed projects with specific initiatives, deadlines, and budgets tocontribute towards achieving a broader organization-wide goal. I believe local governmentsplay the most impactful and crucial role in curating and protecting a society while alsoprogressing and innovating to make the human lives of its society better - and mostimportantly, happier.

How do you envision fulfilling the objectives, and/or goals of the body(ies), asestablished by the City Council? Frankly, I don't actually believe I have enough context to confidently answer this questionjust based on living in Culver and reading the responsibilities of this role. However, I'd saythat the way that I envision how I would contribute is similar to how I approach mostobjectives. As a new member of the commission, I would spend my early tenure listening andlearning the current state of affairs and filling in any gaps that the organization might haveor that I may identify. Over time, I believe any growing unaddressed issues or greater areasof opportunity will become more and more apparent, which is where I would personally worktowards improving.

How many meetings of the commission(s), board(s), or committee(s), towhich you are interested in being appointed have you attended? Pleaseindicate how often and when.

None. I did not realize that they were open to the public.

How much time, on a monthly basis, can you commit to reviewing materialsin preparation for attendance at meetings of the body(ies) to which youdesire appointment? Several hours... However, I don't think time is necessarily an accurate measure ofcommitment. I believe setting goals/deadlines and working towards achieving them is amore effective way to manage and measure impact than number of hours.

Is there anything else you would like to add that has not been covered byyour answers to the prior questions? (You may attach supplementalinformation below.) The short summary of my application is... within a bustling, chaotic, and seeminglymismanaged City of Los Angeles, I love what Culver City has created and continues tocreate, and as a resident here, I may not know of any major issues that require addressing,but I do know that I am a fast learner and a helpful contributor anywhere I am involved, and Iwish to be part of the group of people that help make Culver City what it is today.

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.

Important Information

You may attach a resume or other supplemental information. However, at a minimum, please ensure you submit this Application form by the applicable deadline.

For the body(ies) to which you seek appointment(s), what have youdetermined to be the primary role of the body? The Equity and Human Relations Advisory Committee advises the City Council and CityManager by recommending programs, policies, and activities that foster inclusion, reducediscrimination, and promote equitable opportunities and positive human relations across thecommunity. This Committee would be my main preference. The Culver City Committee onHomelessness advises the City Council and staff on strategies to reduce homelessness,reviews and recommends improvements to service delivery, and engages the communitythrough collaboration, education, and public advocacy.

Why do you seek appointment on the body(ies)? Please be specific to thebody(ies)'s role.

I seek appointment to the Equity and Human Relations Advisory Committee because mywork as an employment attorney and my own background have shown me firsthand howinequities -- whether based on race, national origin, socioeconomic status, or workplacepower dynamics -- can limit opportunities and create barriers to full participation incommunity life. In my practice, I advocate for workers whose rights are often overlooked,and I see how issues of discrimination, cultural competency, and access to fair treatmentextend beyond the workplace into the broader fabric of civic life. Serving on this Committeewould allow me to contribute my professional expertise and personal perspective torecommend policies and programs that promote inclusion, reduce bias, and ensure equitableoutcomes for all residents of Culver City. Similarly, with regards to the Committee onHomelessness, my work has given me insight into the systemic barriers that contribute tohousing insecurity. In representing low-wage workers, I regularly see how wage theft andunstable employment place individuals and families at risk of homelessness. I believe myprofessional experience addressing inequity in the workplace, combined with mycommitment to advancing human dignity, will allow me to contribute to city policy onhomelessness.

What is there specifically in your background, training, education or intereststhat qualifies you for appointment? What special qualities and/orqualifications can you bring to the body(ies) to which you seekappointment(s)? In my practice, I represent low-wage workers. This background allows me to bring a strongfoundation in advocacy, policy analysis, and problem-solving, as well as a commitment toensuring that the voices of underrepresented communities are heard in shaping CulverCity’s policies and programs. My legal training has further equipped me with the skills toanalyze policies, advocate for those who need it the most, and address systemic inequitiesthat affect both equity and housing stability. Additionally, as a foreign individual who movedto the United States later in life, and a member a religious minority, an ethnic minority, andthe broader LGBTQ+ community, I bring lived experience with the challenges of navigatingbias and barriers to inclusion.

Please upload a file to attach supplementalinformation, if desired.

How do you envision fulfilling the objectives, and/or goals of the body(ies), asestablished by the City Council?

On the Equity and Human Relations AdvisoryCommittee, I would support efforts to reduce discrimination and promote inclusion, while onthe Committee on Homelessness, I would focus on strategies that address the root causes ofhousing instability and improve service delivery. In both, I would bring a commitment tofairness, collaboration, and results that strengthen our community.
