Question applies to multiple boards
Specify your current or prior service on various boards, commissions or committees:

Dos Pueblos Engineering Academy Senator As a DPEA Senator, I have identified and solved issues that strengthen the DPEA community. I'm an attentive listener and proactive in contributing ideas, and I thoroughly enjoyed participating in this process last year. For example, streamlining grading consistency for portfolio check-offs and Weebly posts, though a small change, had a significant impact. This experience opened my eyes to the power of community involvement, showing me that one voice and one person’s actions matter.

Refuse and Reuse Local Team Leader I’m tasked with giving webinars and in-person talks about the harms of single-use plastic, asking people to try taking a one-day challenge to refuse all single-use plastic. No one is realistically capable of doing that altogether. And that is the point. The goal is to help people be thoughtful about their actions, refuse plastic when they can, and adequately reuse and recycle when they can’t. If enough people care about this issue, we can start to change habits, commerce, and eventually laws and ordinances around keeping our planet as functional as possible for as many people as possible.

Interests & Experiences
Question applies to multiple boards
Why are you interested in serving on a board, commission or committee? I want to help people become part of the process. A lot of times I hear my friends and even some adults express how their voice in government planning doesn’t matter. I think it does.

I have lived in Goleta with my dog Sugar and mom for ten years. What I love most about where we live is being in a community where I know most people in my neighborhood, and everyone knows Sugar. I love the community potlucks, pool parties, and holiday celebrations. When there is a tragedy or someone needs extra help, someone always seems to step up and be there. I want the whole of Goleta to have that experience. As someone who has overcome significant speech difficulties, I have finally found my voice and want to use it to make a difference. I think my perspective as a person who was often overlooked and felt most comfortable in the back of the room could help engage other relunctant joiners. Even though Goleta has experienced tremendous growth, I think there is still a way for it to remain a community that cares about its neighbors and works to build a cohesive spirit of cooperation.

8 Question applies to multiple boards
Describe your qualifications, experience, and education, and list any technical or professional requirements you have relative to the duties of the board, commission or committee to which you are applying.

I am a current Dos Pueblos Engineering Academy sophomore with strong problem-solving skills and a collaborative mindset. I’ve played collaborative classical music for many years as a pianist, which has influenced my ability to be a good listener, respectful of what other people bring to the table, and adept at creating cohesive groups.

Question applies to multiple boards
What are your goals in serving on the board, commission, or committee to which you are applying?
I want to play an active role in shaping programs that benefit residents of our great community. I want to bring other young people along with me. We are in a high-stakes election year, and neither my friends nor I can vote. Having a say in what our national government does is out of reach. This position is a chance for me to have a say in what our local government is doing. I hear a lot about what I can’t do. This position is something that I can do, and that I think can make a positive difference while doing it.

I attended Laguna Blanca High School for three years, where I was actively involved in various extracurricular activities, including participating in sports teams and community service projects. These experiences helped me develop strong leadership, communication, and organizational skills that are crucial for effective public relations work. Recently, I transitioned to an online learning platform, which has allowed me to enhance my adaptability and self-discipline. This shift has also provided me with a more flexible schedule, enabling me to dedicate ample time and focus to the responsibilities of the board. My online education has equipped me with a strong foundation in digital communication and media, which is particularly relevant to the work of public relations in today’s increasingly digital world.

Question applies to multiple boards
What are your goals in serving on the board, commission, or committee to which you are applying?
My primary goal in serving on the Board of Public Relations for the City of Goleta is to engage and inspire younger generations, particularly my peers and young adults, to become actively involved in public service and civic life. I am passionate about encouraging these individuals to recognize the impact they can have on their community and to feel excited about making meaningful changes within our city. Additionally, by using my voice and experiences, I want to contribute to shaping a narrative that highlights the significance of public service and demonstrates the tangible ways in which individuals can effect change within their community.

I have a strong connection to our local parks, particularly Girsh Park, which has been an integral part of my experience in the community. I have attended numerous park functions at Girsh Park, enjoying the variety of events and activities that bring people together.

Additionally, I frequently use the parks for walking my dog, which has allowed me to appreciate their importance for both recreation and community well-being. Moreover, I have performed dance performances at various parks during Fiestas, including Girsh Park, which has given me a deeper appreciation for these spaces as venues for community events and artistic expression. My personal experiences with the parks have underscored their value and strengthened my commitment to supporting and enhancing public spaces in our city.

Interests & Experiences
Question applies to multiple boards
Why are you interested in serving on a board, commission or committee? The built environment has a profound effect on the social world—it can bring peace or increase stress, enrich lives with beauty or afflict them with ugliness, foster prosocial interactions or divide groups and suppress activities, increase or decrease resiliency in the face of climate change. I’ve always had a strong interest in architecture and gardens, and not merely the formal beauty of the structures but their social use and context. I’m a lifelong Goletan; I’ve walked the Ellwood bluffs since preschool. I’ve watched the area develop, sometimes with appreciation, sometimes with regret. I love this place and I plan to live here the rest of my life. Especially with the influx of building projects I would like to contribute my vision to how the city develops. I can’t bring the wisdom of professional experience but I believe I could brings a valuable perspective to the planning process as a non-driving, disabled millennial who grew up the trailer park.

Krista L Rodkey
66 Question applies to Historic Preservation Commission Describe your qualifications, interest, education, and/or knowledge regarding Historic Preservation of buildings and structures and /or the preservation of Archaeological and Tribal Cultural Resources?
I have an amateur interest in history, archeology, architecture, and landscape. I also grew up as the beneficiary of previous historical commission work preserving Sextant House through the compromise with the hotel, Barndall Station. Most importantly for me I spent many happy days rambling through the old gardens of Stow House. Linda Foster, the caretaker of Stow House from 90s to the 00s was a family friend and I took art lessons from her from age ten. We would go out and draw plants, old stone walls , the machinery in the stable yard, and views of Los Carneros. Over those many years I watched a lot of changes and heard a lot of gossip about the running of grounds--the decision that the Lemon Festival was too hard on the grounds, the discovery of the old drive lined by olive trees, the competing needs of blacksmith, wedding venue, school tours, Civil War reinactors, train enthusiasts, large and small, plant conservationists, etc. So I would say this has given me a window into how multifaceted historic properties can be--and how richly they can benefit the community.

I’m a recent LEAD Goleta grad and the program educated me on the inner workings of the city. Actually, Peter Imhof’s presentation on the coastal commission and design review board was my favourite and it cemented my conviction that this is a part of city life I would like to participate in. I have a professional background in philosophy—I have my MSt from Oxford University and my PhD from Indiana University, Bloomington. I concentrated in ethics and aesthetics, especially Plato and Hume on the virtue of justice. That might sound inapplicable to a design review board but the nature of the city is of fundamental importance to Plato and I always find it useful to read him alongside Jane Jacobs. I also find the ancient history of the city fascinating—I’m a bit of a Mesopotamian nerd—and again looking at the archeological record always seems to cross-connect with issues from infrastructure channels like Not Just Bikes. My only formal training in architecture was a class on Roman architecture, for which we read Vitruvius’s Nine Books of Architecture and studied a bunch of archeological examples. But I have long indulged an amateur’s passion for architectural and landscape history, formal gardens, mazes, topiary, etc. And I have supplemented books with my own travel experience when possible. In the last five years I’ve been learning a great deal about gardening. I love trees and native plants and I’ve been redoing our my garden to increase the native plants and environmental benefits. I’m signed up to take Environmental landscaping I and II through SBCC Open Extension. I think I will probably get the Green Gardener and environmental landscape certificates within the next year (or two if there are scheduling issues).

Krista L Rodkey
67 Question applies to multiple boards
What are your goals in serving on the board, commission, or committee to which you are applying?
I would try to balance multiple goals 1. Pedestrian friendliness/ bike and bus accessibility— As a pedestrian I often encounter enclosures that prevent a natural path for no particular reason. (E.G. a fence or wall that blocks passage to a bus stop and necessitates a lengthy detour. By looking at plans with a pedestrian eye I would hope to catch and address these spots. There are further issues of shade, shelter from traffic, adequate bike parking, etc, but this would be a start. 2. Lasting architectural beauty—Much as I love the Arts and Crafts tradition and the Spanish-Moorish and ranch styles that currently characterise much of Goleta’s architecture, I would rather have a building with good structural lines outside those styles than one with the trappings of the ‘right’ style but bad proportions. In fact, I personally would be glad to see some buildings of a soft modernist style in a distinctively Goletan style.

E.g. to draw on the Ellwood Station tiling patterns in new ways. 3. Increasing Goleta’s environmental assets—I believe that we can use even the smallest opportunities to increase wildlife habitat and climate resilience. I also think we should look for ways to use impact mitigation measures to create parklet-like spaces with a strong design component and artistic impact. For instance using required tree planting to form a wooded alley, a circle of trees to create our own sort of Ashdome, or a screened nook with a fountain and a tranquil atmosphere. I think green spaces of this sort would have great social, economic, and environmental value. I love the formal gardening tradition and I think it would be exciting to try to bring some of these old forms—hedge maze, topiary, color-themed plantings, etc into being with native plants.

Question applies to Historic Preservation Commission
What do you believe to be the role of the Historic Preservation Commission? I believe its role is to preserve for the community objects (buildings, trees, areas, relics, views, etc) of significance to the landscape and its inhabitants' history. I think the listen and evaluate claims of historical merit from different groups and voice the community's interest in preserving its history when that is threatened by development or neglect. I think is is their role to ensure that multiple communities' history is represented and that historical significance is not restricted just to the what is deemed picturesque by one group. For instance, in the current debate about the old airport hangers I think is is quite important that they should be preserved. My experience with the old machines the in the Stow House stable yard taught me that even rusty farm equipment is valuable and beautiful to a whole host of unexpected people. If it is gone, it cannot be re-created; if it is preserved it can enrich the lives even of those who don't know or care about it. I think it has a special role in ensuring that the Chumash and other tribal heritages are preserved. These are particularly and risk and in light of past losses and injustices it is important that further losses be prevented, and that tribal voices about what is culturally significant are heeded.

Question applies to Historic Preservation Commission
Why should be you be appointed to the Historic Preservation Commission ? I'm a proud Goleta resident, ready to learn and listen to different voices, happy to build consensus and play my part in the commission's advising and fact-finding role. I am also eager to serve my community in this time of mandated building where there will be more pressure than ever to bulldoze anything 'in the way" of new projects. I would be ready to push for halt, abatement, or concession as needed on behalf of the community, present and future. As mentioned above I think my experience with Stow House has given me some insight into what diverse things might be of historic value, from particular trees or old gardens to smithy equipment, old wells, stone walls, a carriage drive, a beloved view, a caboose, a transported station platform, or an old bunkhouse.
