CIVIC INTERESTS
My wife and I are relatively new to Huntington Beach, having moved frequently as an Officer in the Navy.
We recently (2+ years ago) bought a home on Sunset Island and have observed first hand how one civic minded individual can make a difference in the community. We have also observed people complain but do nothing to solve the problem. My civic interest stems from a sense of responsibility and desire to solve problems and improve the community.
HOW WILL YOUR QUALIFICATIONS BEST SERVE THE NEEDS OF THE COMMUNITY? As an operations research analyst for the US Navy, I provide data driven decision support to the Chief of Naval Personnel and resource allocation optimization support for the Chief of Naval Operations. In that capacity I have extensive experience in math modeling and data analysis, two skills that may be of use to the Harbor Commission and the city in making informed decisions with respect to allocating limited resources and solving complex problems.
WHY DO YOU WISH TO SERVE ON A VOLUNTEER CITIZEN'S BODY? I have served my country for over 30 years as a naval officer and government service employee. My father, a retired Marine, instilled that sense of responsibility in me at an early age. While service to country has its own rewards, service to community provides a tangible reminder of how an individual, as part of a larger team, can make a measurable difference in the lives of one's neighbors and city.
It is the policy of the City Council to make appointments to the citizen commissions, boards, and committees, based on the needs of the city, as well as the interests and qualifications of each applicant. Selection will be made without discrimination based on the race, creed, gender, or sexual orientation of the applicant.
Additional information concerning a particular commission, board, committee, or task force or the application process is available through the staff support department identified above. General questions can be directed to Cathy Fikes, (714) 536-5553.
This application should be returned to the City Council Offices, P.O. Box 190, Huntington Beach, CA 92648 or in person to the 4th floor of City Hall, 2000 Main Street (at Yorktown). 4 (Revised 10/13/2010 2:04:00 PM)
