BACKGROUND
The network that supports all City services is now at a critical state, both current hardware and software will need to be replaced. Since the construction of City Hall in 1988 most of the methodology on how we deliver the supporting technology footprint has not changed. The City has operated in this hub and spoke design for over 40 years due to budget constraints. It has served the City well but the current infrastructure is unable to meet the Service Level Agre ements (SLAs) outlined in the Continuity of Operations Plan (COOP) adopted by City Council.

Many departments have transformed to digital platforms to provide services and as such require access to technology solutions to deliver these municipal services a t all times. With the guidance of industry consultants, in collaboration with all departments, and in compliance with regulations, the Information Systems Department has identified priority areas for re-design and critical upgrades. The purpose of these 17 Item5.

upgrades is to meet the expectations of today’s workforce while adhering to the City's COOP and many rigorous regulatory compliances.

Technology has become an essential part of the way Staff delivers services. The City of Escondido faces many technological challenges currently and in the future. For reasons of cyber security, productivity, disaster recovery, continuity of operations, risk mitigation, and the critical role technology plays in providing the services to our community staff must change to ensure the ability to deliver services no matter what situation the City is faced with. The quote received from [RE]DESIGN Group is included as Exhibit “A” to Resolution No. 2023-16 which outlines the scope of work and technology equipment to be purchased in detail.

EMERGENCY DECLARATION FOR REPAIR OF THE SEWER PIPELINE IN CASA GRANDE MOBILE ESTATES

AND LANDSLIDE AT LAKE WOHLFORD ROAD

DEPARTMENT
Utilities Department and Development Services Department, Engineering Services

RECOMMENDATION
Request the City Council adopt Resolution No. 2023 -17, declaring that pursuant to the terms of 22050 of the California Public Contract Code, the City Council affirms that it was appropriate for City of Escondido (“City”) staff to forego normal bidding proc edures and to award contract s for emergency repairs of a sewer main section in Casa Grande Mobile Estates and landslide at Lake Wohlford Road. The resolution, which must be passed by four -fifths vote, also declares that public interest and necessity demand the immediate expenditure to safeguard life, health, or property.

Staff Recommendation: Approval ( Utilities Department: Christopher W. McKinney , D eputy City Manager/ Director of Utilities; Development Services Department: Andrew Firestine, Director of Development Services; Engineering Services: Julie Procopio, City Engineer) Presenters: Angela Morrow, Deputy Director of Utilities Construction & Engineering, and Julie Procopio, City Engineer

FISCAL ANALYSIS
Funding for the emergency sewer pipeline work is available in the Wastewater Enterprise Fund. Funding for the emergency landslide repair is available in the FY22 Street Maintenance project.

PREVIOUS ACTION
None.

BACKGROUND
As a result of the recent substantial rain events, immediate public safety hazards have been created that constitute an emergency as that term is defined in the California Government Code. Escondido Municipal Code § 10-80 provides that in the case of public exigency or an emergency as defined in Government Code § 8558, the City may dispense with competitive procurement for the purchase of goods and services for 43 Item6.

the duration of the exigency or emergency. The purchase may be made under the direction of the City Council or City Manager acting in his role as the Director of Emergency Services pursuant to Chapter 7.

The existing sewer pipeline in Casa Grande Mobile Estates is a 27-inch diameter reinforced concrete pipe, which was installed in 1959. This pipeline conveys raw sewage from approximately 40 percent of the City of Escondido to the Hale Avenue Resource Recovery Facility (“HARRF”).

On January 17, 2023, Utilities staff was made aware of a sinkhole near the City’s existing trunk sewer pipeline within Casa Grande Mobile Estates near coaches 71 and 72. Utilities staff immediately responded and determined that the sinkhole appeared to be located within the City’s sewer easement near the existing 27 -inch trunk sewer pipeline that currently runs under mobile coach 72. Upon further investigation, staff discovered that a portion of the 27-inch trunk sewer had collapsed. As a result, a void has formed above the pipeline and two mobile coaches are compromised, and an additional two are in immediate danger. Presently, wastewater is able to flow via a temporary byp ass, but there is imminent danger of additional sinkhole formation and a sewer overflow if the pipeline is not repaired immediately.

Southland Paving, Inc. has the staff expertise and equipment to immediately mobilize to repair the sewer pipeline on a time and material basis. A Public Improvement Agreement was executed with Southland Paving, Inc., by the City Manager under the emergency declaration pursuant to Chapter 7 of the Escondido Municipal Code. See Attachment “1”
On Sunday, January 15, 2023, a landslide forced the closure of Lake Wohlford Road between Valley Parkway and Oakvale Road. When Public Works crews attempted to clear the impacts of the landslide, they discovered bou lders near the top of the slide area at risk of falling further down the hillside.

Geotechnical evaluation has determined that these boulders prevent safe entrance into the area. A contractor with the equipment and capability to approach the area from above is required to safety remove these b oulders. As the road remains closed to traffic, it is necessary to forego normal bidding procedures and execute a Public Improvement Agreement to secure the hillside above Lake Wohlford Road, in accordance with Chapter 7 of the Escondido Municipal Code.

Have you ever been convicted of any crime or violation of any law or statute other than minor traffic violations? If yes, please explain. Unfortunately in my lack of better judgment, in 2015, I was convicted of a misdemeanor California Vehicle Code 23152. We were at a celebration for my Brother's new Restaurant and I over celebrated. I drove home and was at my place of residence when the Police questioned me. I complied and realized my error in judgment.

Please describe your qualifications, education and work experience/training that you believe are relevant in your potential role as a Councilmember. My qualifications stem from my understanding of Government, Business Management and most of all, People. As a Tribal Member I witnessed Government on a smaller scale. During the development of lands of the San Pasqual Tribe we went through many struggles. Creating better roads, implementing trash services, negotiating water rights, TERO(Tribal Employment Rights Ordinance) and agreements 53 Item7.

with HUD housing. My Education is continuous and I am always learning. I went to school for Business and American Indian Studies. At a young age I was unable to complete many of my courses because I was unable to attend school. The main factor was growing up in a family business. I was needed. The restaurant business is far more demanding than most think it is. I am extremely loyal to my family and the work that we put in. Just as I am to my City. I am currently a Notary Public, an official of integrity appointed by the State of California, a Realtor/Business Broker/Property Manager. My life experience is not like many others. I started working when I was 12 yrs old as a dishwasher, then a busboy, then a waiter, bartender and eventually managed my family's businesses. In 2005 I obtained my Real Estate License and was also a Loan Officer. In 2008 the market was in turmoil however we already had plans to open another Restaurant. As a Manager multitasking was paramount. From ordering food, to setting up employee schedules, to keeping the books, to greeting customers. We have serviced hundreds of thousands of customers throughout the years and I can tell you the most enjoyable aspect about the restaurant business is the customers. Just as the people are in our City.

Why do you want to serve on the Escondido City Council? One of the most important things I believe in life is being represented. My family has multiple generations in this beautiful town.

My ancestors grew up here and obviously loved it, they never left. Escondidos diversity is what has made this town great. It's what continues to make this town great. I know that Escondido is going in a direction that maybe we are not accustomed to but when you know where you’ve been you have a better sense of where you are going. I want to represent Escondido.

If appointed, would you consider running for the City Council District 3 seat during the November 5, 2024 Election? Without question. I have been involved in a few campaigns and understand the hard work and dedication that it takes. Some of my family traits. I applaud anyone who has been through an election cycle.

What are your three top priorities for the City? There are some very important issues that the City is currently dealing with. I hear about different issues daily from friends, family members, peers, and people of the community. Firstly, homelessness, mental health, drug addiction is a top issue. Secondly for me is Escondido's impact with businesses and the growth or lack thereof, including children activities and promotion of events. Thirdly is potholes. I'm not familiar with the process other than it is a rotating schedule throughout the City. Our streets are deteriorating before our eyes I have heard and seen the turmoil its caused. Especially in D3 on Midway Drive. Lots of tires lost. We can do better, we should do better

Have you reviewed the City’s General Plan? True

Have you reviewed the City’s budget? True

How would you address the City’s structural budget deficit? Complicated issue. While I've seen the budget I have not line itemed or been studious on every category. This would be a top priority for me if I were to take office. I have always believed that the private sector and capitalism has solved public issues the best. It has transformed Cities and has even made new ones. I think the City's focus needs to be outward, not inward. In depth council discussions, planning and then action. This is how I would address the Budget.

Do you have a plan for attracting businesses to Escondido? Entrepreneurial Spirit. I have had the pleasure of frequenting hundreds of events within our City. Many being Chamber of Commerce Events or Downtown Business Events. We even had a few ourselves when I was Chairman of the Mercado. Cruisin Grand is one of the greatest events we ever established in 54 Item7.

our city. As well as the Tamale Festival and of course our annual Street Fairs. I believe creating more events creates a better city. We have seen this in other cities and it entices growth and new prospects for new businesses. We need to allow growth with smart planning. Id like to have more conventions and visitors. We have some really good venues that are under used. We also have to reestablish our industrial sector. I know that we have some new companies developing, creating jobs in Escondido and I would like to continue on that path.

How would you define Smart Growth? Smart Growth is implementing and encouraging diverse types of development that is conforming to City standards. For instance we should not put a 15 story building on Grand Ave or any other Urban area for a purpose that does not line up with our General Plan. We should look at better transportation routes, encouraging the types of businesses that are needed in certain areas and having the correct zoning for types of businesses and housing. Regardless, we need to grow, if we do not we will have little to no success.

What is your position on the development of more housing in Escondido? I think housing is essential. Throughout the years Grand Ave, the heart of our City, has lacked development and people. I believe the new development in this last decade has saved our City. Creating a real Downtown has not only been great for the business sector, it has also improved many residents' way of life. We have brought in many new Escondidians' and its exciting. I'm proud that people love living here so much.

How would you address homelessness in Escondido? Probably one of the most complicated issues that this entire state is facing. Some of the solutions I found were helpful came from a former Deputy City Manager. One was taking a person who had an extensive record of tickets in front of a judge. They were minor such as drunk in public or loitering. The judge would dismiss his/her multitude of tickets and it helped them lift a weight off their shoulders. Also the fact that police continually ask homeless if they need drug rehabilitation and help. I have personally seen some men get off the streets and become productive citizens of society. There are many ways that we can impact someone's life and it really is the small things.

However, one reason Escondido has such a homeless issue is because we have the most available resources. Homeless flock here and if they don't other cities are literally bringing them.

It is absolutely unfair and absurd. If we look to the South there is minimal to no homeless in Rancho Bernardo, Carmel Mountain or even as far as Poway. If we look to the west San Marcos and Vista have some issues but for some reason the Sheriffs bring their troubles to Escondido.

That's unacceptable. These Cities should share some of the costs associated and I'd even say some of the housing. I've seen Tiny home communities in Austin Texas and how well they've worked. I enjoy programs like Solutions for Change and the responsibility they take for their residents. Like I said before I'm not expecting the City to fund something of this nature but if we could help facilitate meetings and promote the progress I believe we could entice some real change. I am expecting the State of California to have some type of plan in the coming year and they are likely to provide funding of some sort. All in all it comes down to mental health.

Homeless need to understand their worth in society and realize that their lives are so much more important than living on the streets. I think providing information, pamphlets or flyers is a low cost solution to actually starting a conversation with people in need. Open their senses to the next part of their journey.

What is your 10-year vision for the City of Escondido? I see Escondido flourishing in the private sector. I also see the City of Escondido providing resources. Focusing on infrastructure and the well being and safety of our neighborhoods, parks and schools. With new businesses we can create a vibrant Downtown and surrounding areas. I'd like to see our City encouraging 55 Item7.

more growth in our urban core. Creating activities and venues for the youth, mitigating the homeless issue and developing a strategy with community vision.

What are the key issues you see facing our community? Why do you think these are the key issues and what might be the solutions? One issue that we face is our deficit. I believe that the well being of our community is of utmost importance. Police and Fire have to have the needed resources. While reducing funding for certain programs is unfavorable we need to focus on growth and sustainability. I believe our Council can do that by implementing new ideas and bringing in the private sector to alleviate some of those costs. New Development brings in new money. Some of those costs are permits and building fees. They should be directed not only to infrastructure but towards social programs that can not only reduce the City budget but provide much needed resources for the community. I also believe that there should be shared costs with other Cities that deal with our homeless population. By creating an alliance between these cities and using our relationship with the organizations involved we can take a big step in our forward progress. I know there isn't an ultimate solution to homelessness but there are steps that we can take to provide a clean and prosperous environment for our entire community. Our community is really depending on us to find solutions in manner that is just and helpful to all.

What do you bring to the position that is missing from the current City Council? I know most of the Council Members on a personal and professional level. I have admiration for all of you and what you do. Your different life paths and understanding that the ultimate goal is to make this City a better place to live. I have the same appreciation for the City as you do. My family has been here for generations. I have hundreds of family members and thousands of family friends that reside here. My willingness to negotiate and reach across the aisle is paramount. As a City Council Member my ears will always be open and it will always be Community first. I bring an understanding that Escondido is changing and if we don't grow we will not be able to pursue our greatness. Lets create a rally in the Valley!

Have you ever held a public office? If yes, name the office title, dates of service and describe the duties. I have not. But I would like to. :)

What would you do to make Escondido a place where people want to live, work, and visit? I have said this previously but I would entice new business development. From youth activities such as Family Fun Center, skate parks, roller skating rink, K1 racing, and park activities. I would also encourage our City to advertise. We have so many great amenities that are unknown by Visitors and even our Residents. I have seen the great work that our Deputy Director of Economic Development, Jennifer Schoeneck has been doing and I am thoroughly impressed. I'd like to see more of what her department is planning. I am a 100% supporter. New Businesses create new jobs. I would love to see more office space filled. I think the City can and should encourage a business such as ARS, previously on Grand Avenue, to fill some of our vacancies.

The Escondido City Council regularly meets on the first four Wednesdays of each month at 4:00 p.m. (Closed Session) and 5:00 p.m. (Open Session) and periodically has additional special meetings and workshops. Councilmembers also serve on a number of subcommittees, commissions and outside agency boards. Please describe any time constraints or obligations that might limit your availability. I am self employed and have no time constraints. I go to Church on Sundays.

Is there anything else you would like to share with the Council? I would like to thank you for your time and consideration. District 3 has significance to me because I am very involved in 56 Item7.

the Business Community. I believe that development throughout the City is very important, especially our core. It is exciting to see Grand Avenue's revival and I would be honored to serve with people that care about our community as much as I do. I grew up on many different streets in Escondido. I understand the people, the dynamic and the needs of District 3. I would be honored to serve with such a great group of individuals. I look forward to hearing from you all soon. Thank you and God Bless!

Have you ever been convicted of any crime or violation of any law or statute other than minor traffic violations? If yes, please explain. No

Please describe your qualifications, education and work experience/training that you believe are relevant in your potential role as a Councilmember. I served many years on the Board of the San Diego Blood Bank. My employment there gave me the opportunity to serve and collaborate with the community. The blood bank faced issues that required community support. For example, blood supply dips very low at certain times of the year. It took all of us to spread the word to the community and educate on the need for blood to be able to provide for the patients in need. If you are feeling healthy and well, you may not know how desperate someone in the hospital needs you to spend one hour in a chair giving a part of you to save them. It was our job to be an advocate for those patients in need. I implemented high school and college tours so that we could educate the community early in their years. We provided information on the importance of donating blood, they were able to meet blood recipient patients who shared their story, they learned about careers in science and then received a behind the scenes tour. Over my seven years there, we had thousands of students visit and I hope they are inspired to donate blood when they see a bloodmobile in their neighborhood. My primary roles have been to support organization growth, organizational support and an advocate for the 69 Item7.

people. I lead the human resources function at my current organization and responsible for developing high functioning teams to meet the organization goals. I am also responsible for creating policies and ensuring organizational compliance regarding our people functions.

I have a Senior Certified Professional Certification from the Society of Human Resources and a Strategic Human Resources Leadership Certification from Cornell University.

Why do you want to serve on the Escondido City Council? My passion is to serve the community and when this opportunity presented itself, I felt as though this is something I am qualified for that would allow me to serve the people of Escondido in a more impactful way. I want to do my part to ensure that Escondido is the best city for the youth to thrive and have opportunities, people choose to raise their families here, a place where businesses can flourish and the elderly feel safe and supported. I want to dedicate my time, experience and skills to work with the city, the council and community members to support Escondido to the best it can be. I feel that I have the necessary skills and experience to be an effective and efficient conduit to ensure the voice of our District 3 community members are heard and represented.

If appointed, would you consider running for the City Council District 3 seat during the November 5, 2024 Election? Yes, I would consider running in the 2024 election.

What are your three top priorities for the City? The top three priorities that I would like to support the City on are identifying solutions to support our unhoused people, increase public safety and support economic development.

Have you reviewed the City’s General Plan? True

Have you reviewed the City’s budget? True

How would you address the City’s structural budget deficit? I would support the staff and learn as much as possible so that I can of service in community engagement and outreach. I believe the community at large needs to be better informed and involved in the city’s budget and funding needs to support the city services in order to address the issues of the community and make Escondido a better place for all.

Do you have a plan for attracting businesses to Escondido? I would like to understand the process for opening a business in Escondido. I would like to know what the challenges are, is there anything we can do to make it a more attractive package for businesses? Not only to support new business, but also learn the challenges of sustaining a growing businesses here.

How can we better support businesses to not only open their doors here, but what can we offer as assistance to support their success? I don’t have an immediate plan, but this is something that I would start by learning more about, talk with small business owners, research and gather information, understand the processes and see if there are any solutions or adjustments that could be considered to support their success.

How would you define Smart Growth? I would define Smart Growth as urban planning to promote housing developments in existing places with easy access to public transportation or walkable areas to protect open lands and strengthen local business.

70 Item7.

What is your position on the development of more housing in Escondido? I think we don’t have a choice but to develop more housing. I think it would be best to develop diverse housing to provide opportunities to ensure affordability for our different economic groups. We would also need measure and track the impact on more housing and ensure other affected areas grow with this. Ensuring traffic/transportation needs are met and more resources for the city to be able to handle the increase in the population.

How would you address homelessness in Escondido? I would like to better understand the circumstances of our unhoused population and learn more about our community partners and housing and neighborhood services division. I appreciate the efforts of EPD, COPPS Unit, PERT, and Public Works for supporting our community and I would like to meet with these groups to learn more of current resources, network and connect with current partners/agencies and other potential partners to enhance current resources. I would attempt to identify and assist with reducing the number of people entering into homelessness. This might be accomplished by assisting with maintenance of current housing and prevention of evictions, conflict resolution of multi-families, LGBQT support, youth support, alignment of resources, reduce barriers, enhance partnerships, connect with other communities for ideas/support. I would learn about effective and proper long term solutions, support community partners and volunteer my time and resources. No matter my fate with the city council, I plan to get involved in outreach and support of this very important matter.

What is your 10-year vision for the City of Escondido? Housing opportunities for all, robust business district with job opportunities, vibrant downtown, parks and outdoor areas full with families.

What are the key issues you see facing our community? Why do you think these are the key issues and what might be the solutions? Budget deficit – safety and unhoused are two major issues and to solve this issue, we need to support our city employees to help work on these issues. But, the tight budget is not allowing the investment of the resources needed. Of course no one wants to pay more taxes. But, we need to keep up with our city needs and we need to do a better job as a community to support the services that are required to keep our city safe, clean and help those in need. Moving forward, I would do my part to research, learn and find other ways to support our needs.

What do you bring to the position that is missing from the current City Council? I can’t speak to what is missing from the current City Council. What I bring as Chicana of this community is my experience growing up in San Diego as a fourth generation San Diegan. My family has been doing their part of enhancing our communities for decades. This is ingrained in me. I am passionate about serving the community and have many years of experience. I have lived all over San Diego and we chose Escondido as our home 7 years ago. I can talk your ear off about why we chose Escondido. I am a mother of a high school student who attends Del Lago Academy High School, I bring my experience of raising a family here who is in the public school system. I have been part of a business in Escondido who relied on the Escondido community at the San Diego Blood Bank. (SDBB has 7 locations, one of which is in Escondido) I volunteer for three organizations to help enhance our city and have made great connections and gained experience on how we can make this a better place for our students and community members. I am a natural leader, who is passionate about advocating for people.

My focus would be to ensure fair housing opportunities for all, businesses are set up for success by learning more about this process and how the community can help improve this and working towards making Escondido as attractive, clean and vibrant as possible.

I have been a resident of Escondido since 1977 and I have the pleasure of residing in an historic home in Old Escondido since 1993. In 1983, I became a commercial real estate appraiser with a well-known and highly respected local real estate appraisal and real property consulting firm. Since 1980, the population of the City of Escondido has almost 83 Item7.

tripled and there has been a marked shift in the economic base; going from what once was primarily an industrial/agriculturally based economy to a community of diversity. My background in real estate appraisal has provided the opportunity to not only observe growth and trends within the City of Escondido, but also other areas of Southern California. I feel that my experience as an appraiser translates well in the skills needed in the potential role of a Councilmember. I have extensive experience in area of research, excellent analytical skills, including land use and financial analyses. I have been a volunteer with Boy Scouts of America since 2006. During that time, I have mentored several youth and have been involved on both the local, district and Council levels. Currently I serve as an Assistant Council Commissioner with the San Diego Imperial Council and serve as a Committee Chair for a local unit as well as am an Eagle Project Counselor for youth working towards the rank of Eagle. As such, I have extensive experience working with both youth and adults.

Why do you want to serve on the Escondido City Council? I would like to serve on the Escondido City Council because I believe in representation. I have lived in the City for nearly 46 years and have witnessed the changes that have taken place. I think that the City deserves to have a Council that listens as well as is capable of making informed decisions that would best serve the City.

If appointed, would you consider running for the City Council District 3 seat during the November 5, 2024 Election? Yes, I would consider running during the 2024 election.

What are your three top priorities for the City? Attract businesses and promote employment opportunities Address the homeless population Housing growth.

Have you reviewed the City’s General Plan? True

Have you reviewed the City’s budget? True

How would you address the City’s structural budget deficit? The structural budget deficit should be addressed by an annual review of department spending as well as increasing revenue. A brief review of the City’s budget indicates that the primary source of revenue is through Sales and Property Taxes. With the rapid increase in home prices over the past year and a half, there should be a natural increase in property taxes.

Attracting additional businesses to the City should result in a bump in sales tax revenue.

Because both are tied to the general overall economy, fluctuations should be anticipated during market cyclical markets.

Do you have a plan for attracting businesses to Escondido? Although I don’t have a plan for attracting businesses to Escondido, I do know there are several areas of Escondido that would benefit from an influx of business, namely, Grand Avenue, East Valley Parkway and Escondido Boulevard.

84 Item7.

How would you define Smart Growth? I would define Smart Growth as creating a diverse community using existing resources as well as developing new ones. It is important to look at the needs of the entire community and integrate new growth within existing development.

What is your position on the development of more housing in Escondido? Additional housing is needed for the City of Escondido, however, new housing should be developed to meet the needs of the community with existing infrastructure taken into consideration.

How would you address homelessness in Escondido? Homelessness has become an issue in most areas of the County. At a recent City Council meeting, advocates for the homeless spoke on their behalf. A video was shown and one of the things that I noticed was that homeless individuals were questioned on what problems they had (i.e., relocation, theft of items, etc.) rather than a discussion as to why they were homeless and if they thought there was a solution to solving their homelessness issue. I believe this is an item that needs to be addressed but maybe better approached in a different way.

What is your 10-year vision for the City of Escondido? Maintain a thriving community by providing opportunity and growth to its residents. Promote redevelopment opportunities for areas that are under-utilized to stimulate economic growth.

What are the key issues you see facing our community? Why do you think these are the key issues and what might be the solutions? *Homelessness – Seems to be getting progressively worse. There already seems to be strong involvement by the community but long term solutions need to be further explored. *Attracting Businesses (Economic Development) – Promotion of “opportunity zones” or incentives that are already in place. *Community Engagement – Exploration of additional community programs and what would accommodate community interests.

What do you bring to the position that is missing from the current City Council? A District 3 representative! I think that we already have a great Mayor and City Council and I look forward to the opportunity to serve alongside them.

Have you ever held a public office? If yes, name the office title, dates of service and describe the duties. No. I have never held a public office.

What would you do to make Escondido a place where people want to live, work, and visit? I think Escondido is already a great place to live, work and visit. It is a diverse community with distinct neighborhoods and plenty of employment opportunities.

Interstate 15 and State Route 78 are major transportation corridors that bisect the City of Escondido, providing great access. Shopping and services, including Palomar Medical Center, are available and there is a local Palomar College campus. We have a strong transportation network throughout the City and the Sprinter provides direct access to CalState San Marcos. There are numerous opportunities that provide for 85 Item7.

community engagement that have far-reaching appeal, including the California Center for the Arts, Cruisin’ Grand, the Grape Day Festival, just to name a few.

The Escondido City Council regularly meets on the first four Wednesdays of each month at 4:00 p.m. (Closed Session) and 5:00 p.m. (Open Session) and periodically has additional special meetings and workshops. Councilmembers also serve on a number of subcommittees, commissions and outside agency boards. Please describe any time constraints or obligations that might limit your availability. I do not have any time constraints or obligations that would limit my availability at this time. As a commercial real estate appraiser, I also have flexibility in my work life.

Is there anything else you would like to share with the Council? Although I do not have experience holding any public office, I feel that both my work and personal experience lend itself to qualify me for the vacant position on the City Council. I have a strong sense of commitment and feel I have the time of serve. I have strong communication skills and have developed good teaching skills in my work with youth. I understand the importance of teamwork and informed decision making. Thank you for your consideration of my application.

Budgets, state and local law, and public policy negotiation skills, are particularly relevant to the decision making process facing a Councilmember.

90 Item7.

Why do you want to serve on the Escondido City Council? I enjoy living in Escondido, and would be honored to serve the residents of District 3, and the entire City.

If appointed, would you consider running for the City Council District 3 seat during the November 5, 2024 Election? Yes.

What are your three top priorities for the City? Sustainable budgets protecting public safety, preserve Escondido's charm, and encourage business and housing development.

Have you reviewed the City’s General Plan? True

Have you reviewed the City’s budget? True

How would you address the City’s structural budget deficit? With resolve to eliminate it without raising taxes.

Do you have a plan for attracting businesses to Escondido? No yet. Having own and operated a small business in Escondido for over 20 years, I would advocate for lowering the cost of a business permit for small businesses (< $100,000) to $25, and minimize regulations.

How would you define Smart Growth? Not definable. I'll know it when I see it.

Personally, my own personal vehicle is more enjoyable and efficient than public transportation or bicycling for transportation.

What is your position on the development of more housing in Escondido? We definitely need more housing in Escondido.

How would you address homelessness in Escondido? The City's sources of revenue are not enough to provide for the general welfare. The State and the Federal Governments each have the income tax, and the State further has the property tax and the most of the sales tax revenue. I would direct any State or Federal allocations for addressing the homelessness to efforts that would help instill personal responsibility and self motivation to affected individual, persuading them to seek better employment, use available education and training opportunities, and/or pursue business ventures.

What is your 10-year vision for the City of Escondido? Avoid severe reductions to services and tax increases.

What are the key issues you see facing our community? Why do you think these are the key issues and what might be the solutions? Our transportation infrastructure has been underfunded for decades. Many roads are bumpy if not having open potholes. The City's unfunded pension liability has exploded to ~$300 million! Too many residents commute to other communities to work. I do not claim to have the solutions. The solutions will require a community effort with substantial public input. 91 Item7.

What do you bring to the position that is missing from the current City Council? I will bring to the City Council a knowledge of the San Diego technology community, and of the issues and conditions facing our City, particularly in District 3.

Have you ever held a public office? If yes, name the office title, dates of service and describe the duties. No.

What would you do to make Escondido a place where people want to live, work, and visit? Keep parking free, and accelerate maintenance of streets and infrastructure.

The Escondido City Council regularly meets on the first four Wednesdays of each month at 4:00 p.m. (Closed Session) and 5:00 p.m. (Open Session) and periodically has additional special meetings and workshops. Councilmembers also serve on a number of subcommittees, commissions and outside agency boards. Please describe any time constraints or obligations that might limit your availability. None at those times. Special meetings will be given priority as possible.

Is there anything else you would like to share with the Council? Last November, an election should have been held in District 3. Otherwise, thank you for your consideration.

I have served as a trustee at Palomar College for two years from 2020 - Present.

Why do you want to serve on the Escondido City Council? The City of Escondido has become my home. I love the culture, the people, and the history. As much as I love the city, there is a lot of work to do to maximize our potential. I believe the city needs to reinforce policies that will grow the economy, welcome more investors, create more 95 Item7.

jobs, improve policing and safety, and clean our streets. I want to be at the service of my neighbors, local business owners, local organizations and families.

If appointed, would you consider running for the City Council District 3 seat during the November 5, 2024 Election? Yes.

What are your three top priorities for the City? 1. Draw more housing development for median income families 2. Provide investment opportunities for new and developing industries to increase employment and raise wages. 3. Increase safety by funding the police, providing services to/shelter our current homeless population, and improve partnerships with anti-gang organizations.

Have you reviewed the City’s General Plan? True

Have you reviewed the City’s budget? True

How would you address the City’s structural budget deficit? Similarly to how we addressed the deficit at Palomar College, I would recommend an outside auditor to provide recommendations of where we can become more lean, and where we can produce more revenue. There have been recommendations made already, which should be assessed. With increased housing development, we would increase our property taxes, while also generate more spending in the local economy. We should be evaluating which local businesses could use our industrial area to increase their businesses and provide tax incentives to draw them into the city. In 2024, the city could reintroduce something similar to prop E, which almost passed in 2022. City Departments could also re-evaluate their budget reductions. Based on the $38 million received from ARPA, the city could do an evaluation to determine the optimal way to spend the money and improve our money multiplier.

Do you have a plan for attracting businesses to Escondido? Provide more flexibility for housing developers to increase capacity. Focus around transit centers to bring in workers from outside the city. Provide flexibility and tax incentives for high yielding investors to our industrial area. Increase policing to ensure a safe area for investors to develop. Partner with local colleges and businesses in a triangular effort to train, recruit and keep local students that will spend in our local economy, while serving our business partners. Analyze current city employees and re-evaluate different benefit programs.

How would you define Smart Growth? Smart growth is measurable, long-term, sustainable and resilient growth. It is growth that is not dependent on a single industry that could be susceptible to a recession that disproportionately affects a certain sector.

It is long-term to ensure and sustainable, so that the city is looking to 5 to 10 years in the future. This allows opportunities to adjust when and where appropriately.. It also has measures, so that we could adjust different variables or components which either propel or hinder growth.

What is your position on the development of more housing in Escondido? We need to increase housing development and opportunities for investors. There should be 96 Item7.

an increase in high-density housing, specifically around transit centers. Single-family or similar housing should be expanded into Eastern Escondido. Mixed use development around central Escondido will help commercial and residential areas. Housing for MEDIAN-income earners should be more readily-available. We should be providing housing opportunity for earners of $60-80k (the city's and counties median income).

New development should provide 10-15% of their units for median-income earners who qualify. Qualifications should ensure tenants are fully employed, tax-paying, and contributing.

How would you address homelessness in Escondido? By increasing policing, we should have a no-squatting policy in the city. Homeless individuals who have been in the area should be provided non-profit, religious-based, or city services. The city should ensure that any homeless individual who receives city-services needs to be sheltered.

We should study which organizations are the most effective in providing rehabilitation programs, and fund those while improving the deficient ones. We should also welcome non-profits who specialize in these services to the city. Lastly, we should ensure none of our policies are invitations to bring in more homelessness from surrounding areas.

What is your 10-year vision for the City of Escondido? The city should be a haven for growing industries. It should attract new, lucrative businesses that are thriving in our local economy. Developers should be looking at Escondido as a prime location for housing. We should be increasing safety significantly.

What are the key issues you see facing our community? Why do you think these are the key issues and what might be the solutions? 1. Housing. 2. Homelessness.

3. Crime. These are the biggest concerns facing the state, and Escondido faces similar issues. The solutions have been discussed in the above sections.

What do you bring to the position that is missing from the current City Council? I'm relatively young, while still having service experience. I have fresh perspective, while also having more traditional views. I believe this is an important balance. I have served our country, our community and my complex. So, I understand the needs of a variety of people. I'm also an educator, So, I understand what the perspective of the younger generation and what will draw and keep talent in the area.

Have you ever held a public office? If yes, name the office title, dates of service and describe the duties. Yes. Palomar College Board Trustee. (2020 - present). • Voting responsibilities for budgeting, contracts, partnerships, leases, benefits and more • Community outreach: Developing partnerships, meeting with community members, and local policy makers • Meeting with state and county officials to propose college interests

What would you do to make Escondido a place where people want to live, work, and visit? 1. Safety 2. Employment opportunities 3. Thriving, welcoming culture 4.

Celebration of talent and culture (such as what we have on Grand) 97 Item7.

I will make the appropriate adjustments to my schedule. There are currently no conflicts with my schedule, but I plan to make more changes soon.

Have you ever been convicted of any crime or violation of any law or statute other than minor traffic violations? If yes, please explain. No, I've never even had a traffic (speeding) ticket.

Please describe your qualifications, education and work experience/training that you believe are relevant in your potential role as a Councilmember. I have been a business owner (11 staff members including my husband and myself) in Escondido since 2014. In 2021, we moved our business from Escondido to San Marcos as we were seeking a larger office/warehouse space. I worked as a Finance Manager for three and a half years for the County of Caroline in Virginia. I worked closely with the elected County and Deputy Commissioner, Sheriff, Treasurer, and Fire Chief, planning budgets and then maintaining them throughout the fiscal year from 2003-2006. I have a Bachelor’s degree in Communication (1995) and a Masters Degree in Management (2002) with a focus on International Relations.

Why do you want to serve on the Escondido City Council? I moved to Escondido in 2009, and from the day I purchased a home here, I knew it would be where I retire. I am a 5th generation Californian, moved to Hawaii as a child so I call CA and HI home. I am 101
Item7.

passionate about our City, Region, and State. It saddens me that “EXIT California” is a trend and common occurrence. I don’t believe people are exiting solely because of the cost of living. They are leaving for greater freedoms. I want to see Escondido create space for those looking to stay here in California while providing the freedoms they desire since Escondido tends to be a conservative enclave. I want Escondido to be a place where we not only live, but work, eat, and play! I am a networker by nature. I love connecting with people together. I can't wait to serve and see the dreams of those in my district come to life through my love of all things...connection.

If appointed, would you consider running for the City Council District 3 seat during the November 5, 2024 Election? Yes, and I am not afraid of fundraising. I helped co-found a global nonprofit back in 2011, and fundraising was one of my top duties. I traveled throughout the US, seeking funds for our organization.

What are your three top priorities for the City? 1. The plight and blight of the homeless population in Escondido. 2. Safety for all residents 3. Infrastructure to include bringing strategic business to Escondido

Have you reviewed the City’s General Plan? True

Have you reviewed the City’s budget? True

How would you address the City’s structural budget deficit? This question would take more than just a pat answer. As someone who is familiar with budgets as a business owner (and former Finance Manager for Caroline County, VA), I know there are ways to restructure as I’ve had to do over the lean years in my business. With that said, I believe bringing VIABLE businesses to Escondido could change the course and trajectory of our deficit. And although not popular, looking at city employee wages ultimately affects pensions and future raises since this seems to be one of the largest deficit issues in the budget. I

Do you have a plan for attracting businesses to Escondido? This may sound trite, but I believe we need to define our city’s culture along with fulfilling the mission of providing safety, cleanliness and efficiency. As a citizen I do not believe we are close to meeting that mission. Large businesses are looking for not only workers, but they want to know they can thrive in safe and clean environment. I would love to see big business come to Escondido. Years ago, 2010, I emailed former Mayor Abed with an idea on the potential to bring the Great Wolf Lodge to Escondido. I follow several business periodicals, and an article that caught my attention. The Great Wolf Lodge was looking to expand on the West Coast. With the Safari Park in our back yard, I thought a lodge themed business would be a great addition. Escondido is considered a working class community, so I felt that the company would find a wealth of workers in Escondido. Fast forward, The Great Wolf Lodge opened in Garden Grove in 2016. I recently spent a weekend there with my grandchildren. The facility was packed with families. It may have been a pie-in-the-sky idea, but it would have been a blockbuster addition to our 102

community. I believe we need to think differently about our city, but it starts with locking in our mission!

How would you define Smart Growth? A planned community with amenities and housing where the residents can walk to restaurants, grocery stores, schools, etc.

What is your position on the development of more housing in Escondido? Yes, I would love to see luxury (or higher-end) home communities added to Escondido. The only way to drive business to our city including coveted restaurants, shopping, etc, is to build luxury homes. We currently have lower and middle incomes home present throughout Escondido, but we are missing the luxury component.

How would you address homelessness in Escondido? The motto: “Give a Man a Fish, and You Feed Him for a Day. Teach a Man To Fish, and You Feed Him for a Lifetime.” I worked with the homeless in Escondido on a weekly basis from August 2014 through January 2016, and I learned that the majority (not all) wanted to be there. One gentleman told me that he would rather live on the streets than face the responsibility of finding a job, a house, car, etc. because he was provided two to three meals a day and could shower at Interfaith when needed. He loved the freedom of not being responsible for anyone other than himself. At the time he had a daughter in high school here in Escondido. He would only see her once or twice a year when he cleaned himself up.

That experience truly opened my eyes. Weekly, the homeless were waiting for a hand out instead of a hand up. I was shocked that they all had what they called “Obama” phones at the time with actual data plans. It helped for us to keep track of where they were at, but they often lost their phones during a night of drugging and drinking only to have it quickly replaced….another hand out without any requirements. I would like to see stricter parameters in place for all homeless in Escondido. Partnering with Interfaith and other social service programs are clearly not enough. Motels are being purchased and converted but the homeless community is still growing beyond capacity. There isn’t a spot in downtown that isn’t inundated with homeless. They must be held accountable for every hand out received. I believe the answer is thrusting them into community service and drug free programs. I know that homelessness is not a crime, but we can control it and say no to it taking over all aspects of Escondido. On New Years Eve, a fire broke out in an abandoned building on E Valley Parkway and Ash, which is notoriously known for housing the nefarious activities of the homeless. Two days prior to the fire, I was driving by the site at noon. A man and woman were both standing on the corner.

The man, scantily clothed dancing and grabbing his private parts as if he was the only one there. The woman, who he was clearly with him, was pushing a large grocery cart, probably absconded from Walmart, with all their belongings. She was dazed and confused watching him. This is a popular corner for those living and working in the area.

No one would feel safe, especially children, walking past that corner. We live in a world where accountability is no longer seen as important. We are all free to do what we want and when we want. We can see where it has gotten us as a community, city, state and nation. Laws are no longer applicable to everyone. Again this gets back to our mission of a clean and safe city. Time to put our heads together with a solution that works. Stop 103

the hand outs if they truly don’t want a hand up. Spend the money and resources on those willing to leave the streets for good.

What is your 10-year vision for the City of Escondido? 1. A thriving downtown that would require major infrastructure changes. Removing eye sores such as old, derelict buildings and possibly replacing them with a replica of the old so that the downtown remains intact. We need to attract entrepreneurs with a vision to transform our downtown even if it means removing the infrastructure to make room for new and innovative ideas. 2. I’ve traveled all over the world, encountering locales that truly understand how to create community. We live in a world that craves experience and ambiance. The cities surrounding us, like San Marcos, are trying to carve out those spaces for their residents. We need to do the same. I would love to be part of the planning (transforming) for Escondido where the residents live, work, shop, and play because it is a place that is safe, clean, and truly efficient.

What are the key issues you see facing our community? Why do you think these are the key issues and what might be the solutions? I’ve addressed most of those in other questions.

What do you bring to the position that is missing from the current City Council? I am a business owner of a 7 figure business. We need business owners on our council as we see things differently from those with a civic-only background. Currently, no one on the council is a business owner, maybe a solopreneur but not an owner providing a lifestyle for employees. Most of my employees live in Escondido. Adding another female voice and a conservative one at that is important.

Have you ever held a public office? If yes, name the office title, dates of service and describe the duties. No
What would you do to make Escondido a place where people want to live, work, and visit? Again addressed in the other questions above. But overall, more walkability, community connection, unique businesses, and more outdoor sporting venues.

The Escondido City Council regularly meets on the first four Wednesdays of each month at 4:00 p.m. (Closed Session) and 5:00 p.m. (Open Session) and periodically has additional special meetings and workshops. Councilmembers also serve on a number of subcommittees, commissions and outside agency boards. Please describe any time constraints or obligations that might limit your availability. Over the past two years, I’ve worked very hard at building my business to run without me. I have made strategic hires who manage well. It has freed up my ability to seek out a council position.

Is there anything else you would like to share with the Council? One other important piece of information that I mentioned briefly but I feel needs to be explained further is my upbringing. My single mom worked as a secretary for a California State legislator back in the 70s and needed a change. She packed up her two daughters and moved to Maui, Hawaii, desiring to rid herself of the politics, and city rat race. Hawaii 104

was quite a melting pot of people. We didn’t live in racially segregated neighborhoods. I learned to live and thrive with all my multicultural neighbors; they taught me to be bridge builders at a young age. I even married a Hawaiian, and have been married for 36 years. I understand and value individual cultures and am excited to meet those who live in my district, even those with opposing viewpoints or cultural differences. Also, I am known to be very transparent (sometimes they call it blunt) which is a strength and weakness. I am an excellent communicator and one who is not afraid of conflict. I don't like it, but I won't shy away from it. I am thankful for the opportunity to apply. I don't hold it lightly. As a matter of fact, I have pondered it greatly, bringing it to those I feel are my "personal" board of directors, seeking help with blind spots I may not see when applying. With that said, I am excited about the appointment and all that it will entail. By nature I am an extrovert, so I am cut out for public/service life.

Why do you want to serve on the Escondido City Council? Quick answer, Community Service is fun and rewarding. I love Escondido and without our City, literally the community and the municipality, I wouldn't have all my blessings in life. I am HOME GROWN. All of my major professional accomplishments (and some major personal ones too) have roots in Escondido. I feel compelled to give back to my community.

Longer Answer… When I think back to my swim lessons in Washington Park Pool in the early 1980’s, and remember very vividly thinking “why would I ever need to swim across this pool.” It turns our being able to swim across our pool would catapult me into a very enriching career. While in High School, Coach Jim Stone recommended I become a Lifeguard. My freshman year of college 1999, I took Couch Stone up on the challenge and after extensive training began serving at the City of Escondido's community pools.

Coach Stone always told me it took a special person to accept life and death consequences for their 1st job. Post College I was able to expand professionally into a number of Escondido's other recreational offerings including Youth Sports and Enrichment Programs as well as learn from Escondido giants like Lori Holt Pfiler (Mayor), Don Anderson (Community Services Director, Retired), Robin Bettin (Community Services Director, Retired). Supervisor Nicole White really empowered me and I was absolutely able to thrive. With the skills I learned while serving Escondido, I was able to grow into full-time supervisory positions serving the City of Poway and the City of San Marcos. While I worked in San Marcos (being mentored by Director Craig Sargent Beach) as my department implemented “10 Parks in 10 years” and went “zero to 60” on the trails… I was given the freedom innovate and see where my creativity and could take community programming. I was able to create new revenue streams as well as build City to City partnership unprecedented in our county with Escondido… As a result of these experiences, I am an 18 year park, recreation and community services professional. 7 years ago I was lucky enough to transition to career mom and since my transition, I have been blessed with the opportunity to utilize my skills with our grass roots community organizations. Now that I am in the fortunate position to be primarily at home with my children as they grow, I would like to again serve the City of Escondido where I began my professional career and begin to give back to my community that has given me so much. As a mother, former professional and life long community member (except for college) I would have a unique prospective as an appointed City Council Member.

If appointed, would you consider running for the City Council District 3 seat during the November 5, 2024 Election? Yes! I am highly motivated and interested in serving our City and I would be able to answer concretely while serving. I would imagine I would find serving in this appointed term fulfilling and would be able to balance my family life as well as council responsibilities. An election campaign on the public level would be a new experience to me but I can learn and grown into this area.

What are your three top priorities for the City? Short Answer… - Our Homelessness Crisis - Maintaining High Public Safety Standards Balancing Business Incentives and Community Needs/Standards Ask me about my pervious Youth Commission Initiatives focusing on Homelessness… Ask me about ideas for tweaking existing public outreach 110
Item7.

programs currently lead by the City to face the Fentanyl crisis… Long answer, the answers to questions re: 10 year vision and key issues facing our community.

Have you reviewed the City’s General Plan? True

Have you reviewed the City’s budget? True

How would you address the City’s structural budget deficit? Aggressively yet thoughtfully and throughly thinking through the end results of any loss of funding any particular area as well as looking for alternative funding sources for any cuts… Ideas…when did we last do a comprehensive fee survey with our neighbors and communities we want to emulate… Thinking outside of the box… what are our untapped revenue opportunities? Thinking green… are there new CIP opportunities that will save $ and the planet in the long run? Thinking cost effective… looking at the and not reinventing but streamlining? I had this opportunity in San Marcos to really dissect my budget allocations and I was able to improve my division’s revenue stream by 300%

Do you have a plan for attracting businesses to Escondido? To bring business investment capital to our City we have to see the value of Escondido. When asked to describe our Community, I have always equated Escondido the Pasadena of San Diego County. We need to be strong enough to foster the nostalgia of our history and longevity of our family owned businesses while be bold enough to bringing in the shiny luster of chains and big box stores. I learned from my experience in San Marcos and their growth into property management that we can and should be aggressively hunting top tier businesses to find a home in Escondido… We can promote Escondido with a vision of association with pedigree…

How would you define Smart Growth? As far as growth is concerned short term gains maybe a boon but a community should be really thinking like a family, diversified generational wealth/growth/building… Increasing services conservatively with growth while building reserves… We should be such good stewards of community goals and assets that the next and the growing generation of community members should want to live, work and play here…

What is your position on the development of more housing in Escondido? Short answer, Yes! I would like to see diversified housing go in, the commercial over residential, high end condos and homes are great but very few “affordable” single family residential tracks have been build in recent history. I am especially excited to see the development of the Palomar Heights and love to see the evolution of this area as new residents move in.

How would you address homelessness in Escondido? Tough love comes to mind.

We need to be kind our neighbors who have found themselves in these dire straights but we need to love them enough to understand they need help they may not be able ask for. A blind eye is not the answer. Speaking specifically… how are agencies such a Interfaith helping, how can we help Interfaith, do we need to rethink the way we support 111
Item7.

our homeless community? What communities and organizations in California are being effective in their solutions? What are our current strategies and municipal codes? Can we work with safety to make more informed strategies to help our homeless deal with our specific root causes? Thinking forward we need to address the root causes and prevent more people from finding themselves in this situation…

What is your 10-year vision for the City of Escondido? In the next 10 years there have been huge miles stones laid out by the State of California that we will need to meet… These big picture immediate could be easily classified as the base of the Maslow Hierarchy… Shelter (dealing with the homelessness crisis and its root causes), Water (our growing water needs as we thrive and grow as a community) and, Energy… Elaborating more and thinking down the line on “Energy” and its byproducts… We should have learned enough about of the industrial revolution to know that there will be unforeseen consequences to rapid technological changes. We can be on the forefront of thinking though what is good for our city… For instance our trash services will need to identify what to do with solar panels as they reach their usable lifespans and find their way to EDI, currently there is no recycling program… these should be simple solutions… mono and poly crystalline silicons, glass and aluminum… And as we all transition to electric vehicles what happens to batteries for cars, that have more precious minerals whose sources have a higher impact on the earth such as lithium, cobalt, etc… What about the inverse impact on the households without solar who pay more and more of the infrastructure costs… I think this would a good time to commend our Public Works department for their successful strategic approach to our city’s needs! As well as Housing and neighborhood services and their effective community partnerships.

What are the key issues you see facing our community? Why do you think these are the key issues and what might be the solutions? If the 10 Year Plan is the base of Escondido’s Maslow Pyramid, the key issues would be the next step. Filling the vacancies we in our keystone business districts seems to be a key issue. Downtown seems to have a number of vacancies and some buildings seem to have a higher turn over than others. Why? The future of our mall as Westfield, a french owned company, finalizes the sale of ALL their American interests is paramount. Currently I have been continuing my education at Palomar College for self improvement, fun and learning about real estate as well as real estate best practices. I have just completed my required classes and I am preparing to take the State Real Estate Sales Licensee’s Exam. I hope to be boots on the ground actively helping people find a home in our beautiful community. As I mentioned above, I learned from my experience in San Marcos and their growth into property management that we can and should be aggressively hunting top tier businesses to find a home in Escondido… Knowledge from the real estate classes in combination with my experiences municipally have really given me thoughts on tenets we can find to fill the business vacancies.

What do you bring to the position that is missing from the current City Council? As a former municipal employee, I have an advanced understanding of large the working pieces of the City. I can catch up quickly on the “i-s & t-s” of the minutia of what 112
Item7.

has changed. I will be able to keep up with the Council so they don’t lose any traction working toward goals. The particular experience listed below may help me better inform decisions on the upcoming park and pool projects… California Park & Recreation Society (CPRS) & District 12 Aquatic Section Rep. San Diego County Aquatic Council (SDCAC) Member & 2015-16 President, Association of Aquatic Professionals (AOAP) Member & 2016 Conference Committee National Recreation & Park Association (NRPA) Ask me about my final Aquatic long term project and goals in San Marcos…

Have you ever held a public office? If yes, name the office title, dates of service and describe the duties. I have NOT held an Elected Public Office. Appointed to the Community Services Commission by City of Escondido Council. The Commission was shortly disbanded after my appointment and would have like to have contributed more to my City.

What would you do to make Escondido a place where people want to live, work, and visit? I may be partial but if you look at surrounding communities that are “trendy” and thriving you see what I call the sprinkles on the cupcake… Ask me about my cupcake analogy for a thriving city… Communities showcasing walkability, park like amenities and open spaces are in demand. Although we have many of these marquee feature they somewhat exist on the periphery… I would be happy to share what I have learned on strategies ways to incorporate these feature in “built out communities” as well as little to no additional costs to the tax payer.

The Escondido City Council regularly meets on the first four Wednesdays of each month at 4:00 p.m. (Closed Session) and 5:00 p.m. (Open Session) and periodically has additional special meetings and workshops. Councilmembers also serve on a number of subcommittees, commissions and outside agency boards. Please describe any time constraints or obligations that might limit your availability. During the day of the school year my day is really my own and I have an immense amount of flexibility in my time. Outside of the school day and year, I have a supportive family who is happy and at their leisure to allow me the time to serve our community.

Is there anything else you would like to share with the Council? Beyond professional experience, I can also reflect on a lifetime of personal experiences in our community. I represent so many different facets of our community… I have been a child as well as a teen in our community. I have been a working professional who grew into a wife and mother. My husband is a firefighter, my brother is a police officer, my mother is a healthcare worker, father is retired military and my in-laws are small business owners.

More than anything, I want to give back to my community that has allowed me to flourish. Thank you for taking the time to consider this application and I hope and look forward to discussing the appointed the District 3 Council Seat with you.

Have you ever been convicted of any crime or violation of any law or statute other than minor traffic violations? If yes, please explain. No

Please describe your qualifications, education and work experience/training that you believe are relevant in your potential role as a Councilmember. I have a Master of Public Administration with classes in public service, and the role of each level of government including local, state, and national. I have worked in the political arena as a Constituent Liaison and Legislative Assistant for a United States Senator and led successful campaigns. I am currently involved in Leadership North County, a program for emerging leaders who want to better understand the region’s challenges and opportunities. This Program is comprised of individuals interested in developing a 120
Item7.

systemic understanding of how our region works because important issues that impact the North County's future include business and community leaders, current and aspiring elected officials, leaders of volunteer and nonprofit organizations, educators, and school board members, city employees, leaders of public agencies and active community citizens. I have worked with nonprofit organizations for more than 16 years in key leadership positions serving people who are food insecure, higher education, food assistance, regenerative agriculture, and access for low-income and underserved communities to receive proper education and services. This has taught me about the issues that are most critical in San Diego and more importantly North County. I have extensive experience in budget development and as well as helping create a sustainable future for organizations with budget deficits. I am currently the Director of Grants and Impact at Coastal Roots Farm. Through key grants with the STEM Education Program, all 4th graders from Escondido Union School District visit the Farm on scholarship and free bus transportation. I have grown up around and in Escondido and purchased my first home here. This is truly a unique and vibrant place and I have become involved in community events and groups that care for this region.

Why do you want to serve on the Escondido City Council? I have been involved in public service for many years. My work experience has enabled me to hear the voices of those who need to be heard and what is important in our region. I want to use my education, experience, involvement in the community, and ability to listen to the voices of the residents of Escondido to truly bring change to our wonderful city. Escondido is ready for some profound change in so many different areas and I want to help steer this amazing city to the greatness it was and could be once again.

If appointed, would you consider running for the City Council District 3 seat during the November 5, 2024 Election? Yes
What are your three top priorities for the City? 1. Redevelopment of Escondido and development of areas that are currently vacant. 2. Finding a true solution to help people experiencing homelessness with partnerships. 3. Housing and safety for all who need a place to live in Escondido that brings back a sense of community and togetherness for all.

Have you reviewed the City’s General Plan? True

Have you reviewed the City’s budget? True

How would you address the City’s structural budget deficit? The city made a great decision to put the increase in city sales tax measure on the ballot for the last election.

Unfortunately, it was not publicized, and the citizens of Escondido were not educated about the important measure, so it was voted down. At a quarterly meeting with the City of Escondido, a wonderful presentation was made by a city official and after listening to this information I was excited to vote for this crucial measure for the city. There needs to concerted emphasis on marketing and public information to educate the public about these measures and the budget deficit. As a professional grant writer and nonprofit leader, balancing a budget is crucial to ensure an organization remains in the green and 121
Item7.

can continue to provide crucial resources to our most underserved residents. Not only does there need to be an even closer analysis of extra spending but also how to bring in extra money for the city. Mirroring similar strategies throughout the North County region and similar cities throughout the state will help with key brainstorming and relationship- building with cities surrounding Escondido. Reading through the budget for Fiscal Year 2022/2023 some specific areas need to be addressed and modified to halt the balance of expenses over revenue. Other cities in North County have had a deficit and made bold steps to reverse this issue. There need to be discussions with these cities to adopt an efficient budget. The General Plan for Escondido written in 2012 has not been effectively adopted and needs to be read in detail once again. This Plan created a roadmap for Escondido to ensure viability and success, not crime and protests by residents. There is an obvious problem with increasing streams of revenue for the city and this needs to be addressed as soon as possible.

Do you have a plan for attracting businesses to Escondido? Escondido has a history of not attracting key businesses to the city. If there is an emergence of new and much-needed diversity in residential areas, new ventures will be attracted to open here.

Escondido needs to have safe and attractive places for business owners, in all areas of the city, not just downtown. The amount of discount and thrift stores needs to decrease immediately as this is a detriment to innovation and most current residents in Escondido complain about these stores. There is an emergence of a younger generation that is excited about opening new shops and businesses but feels we need to get rid of those stores in the area that are not welcoming, old, and not aesthetically pleasing. There is also a new strength in the region with new homeowners. We need to be out in the community asking these questions for great ideas. This can be accomplished through town halls and increased participation of City Council members and the mayor at community events. Allowing the members of our city to speak for three minutes each at a City Council meeting is not welcoming and people do not feel heard and accepted here.

How would you define Smart Growth? I would define Smart Growth as the principle to effectively develop and maintain the vibrancy of a city. Smart Growth encourages a mix of buildings for housing, businesses, and transportation that all work together, especially in downtown areas. In the 2012 City of Escondido General Plan, there was a focus on changing from developing vacant land to reinvestment in current neighborhoods. The plan for growth is what the city still needs to adopt in 2023, and the groundwork has already been lain for us. There is vacant land that has not been developed and could be used for mixed-use construction with green space for residents.

New housing development solutions are being sought throughout the County of San Diego and could be an effective plan for these vacant areas and lots that need to be redeveloped, providing the community a place to live, work, and play. There are so many areas of Escondido that need to be updated such as apartment complexes literally falling down with managers and owners who do not care about the welfare of their renters.

122
Item7.

What is your position on the development of more housing in Escondido? What we are currently doing with the housing situation in Escondido is not working. The city needs to research new concepts such as Nolen Communities that will not only bring various levels of housing (including addressing the affordable housing issue) but also attract new businesses and green space to bring a sense of community. Only creating extra housing that is called “affordable,” is not working at all. Other cities are adopting innovative ideas and plan to ensure there is not only housing for all but a sense of community and belonging to their area. The 2012 General Plan for Escondido had a wonderful proposal for the redevelopment of current regions to ensure Smart Growth.

The Plan needs to be followed closer as the city has strayed away from these great initiatives.

How would you address homelessness in Escondido? There is no quick solution to help those experiencing homelessness in Escondido. Organizations such as Interfaith Community Services are doing an excellent job with wrap-around services and providing mental health therapy and housing placement for those who need it. There are many reasons why people do not have housing and there is no band-aid. I think the city should be working with these organizations that know this population well and provide extra locations so they can provide the care and services to become members of our community.

What is your 10-year vision for the City of Escondido? My ten-year vision for Escondido includes: 1. Neighborhoods that are welcoming for all and show their sense of community and vibrancy. This can be accomplished through the development of vacant land and lots for mixed housing to include context-sensitive communities such as condominiums, townhomes, single-unit homes, businesses, and transportation. 2.

Becoming a key city of choice for families in North County. This can be accomplished through the creation of additional and much-needed green space for neighborhood use that is safe such as community gardens and parks that create healthy lifestyles and a send of togetherness. Enticing more income diversity for the region will help existing businesses remain open and bring excitement for new business ventures. 3. Becoming a truly safe city for everyone who lives here. There needs to be a redirection of the budget from crime prevention and protection to community services and quality of life. 4.

Getting out of a major deficit that hurts the city. This can be accomplished by developing innovative revenue streams for the city including an increase in sales tax. 5. Open lines of communication and a true sense of collaboration with other cities in North County San Diego to assist Escondido to create an infrastructure that is strong and sustainable.

What are the key issues you see facing our community? Why do you think these are the key issues and what might be the solutions? There is a major lack of income diversity in Escondido. 70% of residents are low-income and there is not much attention placed on attracting families and young professionals to the city. This hurts businesses, safety, and a sense of community. There need to be drastic measures to address this issue and appeal to a more diverse population. The budget deficit is a significant problem and if not resolved can lead the city down an even darker future. Budget consultants who deal with deficits in local governments should be hired as contractors 123
Item7.

to build strong and attainable measures to help Escondido get out of this hole. Though this might be an extra expense currently the return on investment would be very positive. People experiencing homelessness are always going to be here. The city needs to work with organizations such as Interfaith Community Services already helping to find solutions and increase their viability to truly help people. The education system in Escondido desperately needs to be reviewed and updated for all schools. There are only two elementary schools with good ratings (above 5 on Great Schools) and this causes many families to transfer their children to those specific schools that are considered safe and secure for their children. All schools need the same access to quality education, parents should be strongly encouraged to help their children learn and grow and if they need help, services should be offered at all schools. The issue of housing is something that was addressed in the General Plan with some great concepts. Escondido needs to collaborate with great urban designers who believe in Smart Growth and strive to create communities that embrace their surroundings and provide people with unique places to live, work, and play. These designers utilize diverse housing for all income levels, provide a space for residents to enjoy the outdoors around them, and preserve history which is such an important part of our city.

What do you bring to the position that is missing from the current City Council? I feel most City Council members are not listening to the voices of the people they serve at each meeting and every day. Members of the City Council are trusted by the citizens they represent, and their own political views should not be the focus of any meeting, personal social media platform, or discussion with residents. If you truly listen to the people living in Escondido, you will hear they are upset and would like to be heard more. I do listen to those around me especially my neighbors and would bring a new perspective from the middle-income, working-class families. I live in Escondido, my children attend school here, and I am involved in community groups. This is the time to change the future of Escondido because this may be the last chance we have to bring the City back to a time when it was viewed as a destination city for everyone.

Have you ever held a public office? If yes, name the office title, dates of service and describe the duties. I have never held a public office.

What would you do to make Escondido a place where people want to live, work, and visit? I would continue to make the downtown area a beautiful and vibrant place for all to visit, shop, eat and have fun. There are other areas in Escondido in desperate need of repair and rid of extreme safety issues that need to redevelop as soon as possible. This is where urban and suburban designers with innovative ideas are able to assist in this endeavor and presently excited to approach the city. There needs to be an additional focus on community services for all who live here to foster a sense of togetherness.

The Escondido City Council regularly meets on the first four Wednesdays of each month at 4:00 p.m. (Closed Session) and 5:00 p.m. (Open Session) and periodically has additional special meetings and workshops. Councilmembers also serve on a number of subcommittees, commissions and outside agency 124
Item7.

boards. Please describe any time constraints or obligations that might limit your availability. I would have no time constraints with meetings and subcommittees.

Is there anything else you would like to share with the Council? I am excited about the opportunity to be a member of City Council to truly find solutions and ensure our wonderful city is a place for everyone.

Have you ever been convicted of any crime or violation of any law or statute other than minor traffic violations? If yes, please explain. I have not been convicted of any crime or have not violated any law or statute.

Please describe your qualifications, education and work experience/training that you believe are relevant in your potential role as a Councilmember. I have been an Escondido community member from the age of 10. I grew up in the community, went to local public schools, work in the community and have decided to raise a family in the community. From about the age of 16, I have lived in or close to district 3. I have an associates degree from Palomar College in social and behavioral sciences, and have worked for the past 8 years serving as a classified employee within the Escondido Union High School District. In this capacity have had the amazing opportunity to engage with community members and the youth. I am also trained in restorative practices, and use this approach in my day to day life. Over the past 10 years, I have had the opportunity to participate in various capacities that have required input and have had to make decisions that impact the livelihood of stakeholders.

Why do you want to serve on the Escondido City Council? I love Escondido, and I believe that we have great potential to continue to make this city great for our current and future 131
Item7.

community members. I believe I have the capacity to listen, engage and strategize ways to improve the quality of life of all community members.

If appointed, would you consider running for the City Council District 3 seat during the November 5, 2024 Election? It is not in my immediate plans to run for the District 3 seat during the next election cycle.

What are your three top priorities for the City? My three priorities are as follows. 1. Ensure that City Council does everything in their power to provide the best quality of life for all community members 2. Create opportunities for the youth 3. Uplift diversity in our community to make our city attractive to new business, visitors and current/future residents

Have you reviewed the City’s General Plan? True

Have you reviewed the City’s budget? True

How would you address the City’s structural budget deficit? I do not have an immediate answer for addressing the deficit. This is a situation that I am willing to dive deeper into with the rest of the city council members, staff and other stakeholder groups to come up with the best solution that does not impact the city negatively.

Do you have a plan for attracting businesses to Escondido? I do not have a plan for attracting businesses to Escondido, but I am open and willing to work with City Council, businesses and other stakeholders to ensure Escondido is a desirable place for businesses to thrive.

How would you define Smart Growth? Smart growth in my opinion means nurturing the growth of our city meanwhile ensuring that decisions made on the subject are socially equitable and environmentally sustainable. This is executed by development that includes a mix of building types and uses, equitable housing options, a robust transportation system, all developed in our existing community with all stakeholder participation.

What is your position on the development of more housing in Escondido? I believe in responsible development of more housing that not only invites new community members into the city, but also enables current community members to stay within the city without the fear of being pushed out due to the high cost of housing.

How would you address homelessness in Escondido? I would have to work with the city council and affected stakeholders to ensure that we are tapping into every resource and looking into every avenue to ensure these community members are getting the help they need to stop or ease the cycle of homelessness.

What is your 10-year vision for the City of Escondido? I have always believed in the potential of Escondido. My son is turning 10 this year and my daughter is turning 7, so in 10 years they will be 20 and 17 respectively. I want them to feel pride of coming from Escondido. I want my children to grow in a community that fostered their growth, had programs and places to go that were safe and nurturing. I want them to feel that they grew up in a city that is tolerant of all community members and sees the potential in being a welcoming community. Previous to the turn over of the city council in 2018, there was so much vitriol against the immigrant community in our city and no mercy towards the situations where to be quite frank the city had no business getting into. Although the focus has been shifted, the hurt is still there. Many of 132
Item7.

which remain in the district I am hoping to represent. The 10 year vision for Escondido should include more community spaces, focused on community building through the arts, sports and other engaging opportunities that are relative to the community. It should include affordable housing that does not push away current community members. It should also include a plan to restore the faith of community members who in the past have felt pushed away because of situations outside of their control. All community members should be able to feel heard, supported and taken care of. It takes a village, a village that I take responsibility in to have the greatest Escondido possible.

What are the key issues you see facing our community? Why do you think these are the key issues and what might be the solutions? I believe I share a lot of the same issues with many community members in the city. The key issues have to do with public safety, social equity and environmental justice. Although I believe that we will not be able to solve these issues immediately, we can work together and come up with solutions that are specific to our city.

What do you bring to the position that is missing from the current City Council? My intent is to bring balance to the current city council, with the understanding that if appointed I would only serve temporarily until the next election cycle. I believe that members in the current city council all have different perceptions due to their different lived experiences. I feel that my lived experience of growing up in the community, working with the community and having a young family in the community will add a perspective that I believe will round out the various perspectives on the current city council.

Have you ever held a public office? If yes, name the office title, dates of service and describe the duties. The closest thing to public office that I have held is serving in my current position as a Public Art Commissioner.

What would you do to make Escondido a place where people want to live, work, and visit? The biggest thing that comes to mind is doing everything in my power to uplift and showcase the diversity in our communities. There are so many different perceptions and ideas that every one of our community members bring to our city. With that being said, we as a council have the potential to shine light into this diversity, and as a community create opportunities that will attract visitors and create new community members. To do this, I would work with city staff, local organizations, talk with community members in order to create sustainable opportunities for them to uplift the diversity in the community.

The Escondido City Council regularly meets on the first four Wednesdays of each month at 4:00 p.m. (Closed Session) and 5:00 p.m. (Open Session) and periodically has additional special meetings and workshops. Councilmembers also serve on a number of subcommittees, commissions and outside agency boards. Please describe any time constraints or obligations that might limit your availability. Although I have the capacity of finding work arounds, I do have two obligations that might limit my availability. I work full time as a classified employee within the Escondido Union High School District. My scheduled hours are typically from 8:00 AM until 4:30 PM. If appointed, I intend on working with my supervisors to come up with a solution for me to attend and participate in this capacity. The other obligation is my role as Regional Representative for California School Employees Association. Every so often there may be conferences or trainings I have to participate in that may or may not affect my participation in city council business. I do not believe this will have a major impact, but I feel it is necessary to mention.

Is there anything else you would like to share with the Council? I look forward for the opportunity to serve our city in this capacity.
