Tania Panarello
A Livermore native for 44+ years, I moved back to my hometown to raise my two boys with my husband, a US Navy veteran and New York native by way of Florida.

Since returning to Livermore in October 2005, I have shared many fond childhood memories and special places with my family, like Donut Wheel, Loard’s Ice Cream, May Nissen Swim Center, and the Rodeo Parade, while discovering new favorites together, like First Street Alehouse, Dan Good Cookies, and Wingen Bakery. We are frequent patrons of the reborn Vine Cinema, where I worked briefly while in high school.

Over the years, my family and I have come to enjoy the many amenities that Livermore offers: Fantasy Books and Games, Sunrise Mountain Sports, local breweries and ethnic eateries, various parks and playgrounds, and hiking, biking, and running trails at Brushy Peak, Holdener Park, Sycamore Grove, and Lake Del Valle, as well as throughout town.

I am passionate about Livermore and doing my part to contribute to its success in sharing what I love most about it with those we welcome to our amazingly diverse community!

25 Question applies to Commission for the Arts
Briefly explain why you wish to serve on the Commission for the Arts.

I believe in service to the community & have volunteered locally because I see results. I have an interest in many expressions of art (music, video, photography) so I decided that the Arts Commission would give me a chance to work with others of common mind.

My experience includes: 1. Photography 2. Video Production 3. Web design 4. Statewide perspective... my experience on statewide planning groups & extensive visits to other cities that have a reputation of high quality art experiences. 5. Extensive knowledge of school systems... I spent my teaching career in Elementary & High school, then served as Technology Director for Stanislaus County.

Question applies to Commission for the Arts
What challenges do you see facing art (in terms of public access to, public support, or social value)?
I see challenges around how to address our new Cultural Arts Plan, which will guide our work for the next 5-10 years. There is also a financial challenge in how funding for the Arts Commission may change.

Coordination with our Poet Laureate & the many arts groups in Livermore is a continuing challenge, as well as how to better reach all sectors of our community: youth, all geographic districts, the many ethnic sub-groups that live in Livermore.

Do you foresee any conflict of interest in serving on the Commission? If so, explain below.

Question applies to Commission for the Arts
Selecting an artist is the most important part of the public art process. What procedure is likely to produce the best result?

1. Produce clear expectations of the selection process, including details about purpose, location, timeline, budge & any specific conditions or limitations of use. 2. Start well before other decisions are made which may affect the project. For example, working with architects, planners, city staff & builders. 3. Allow enough time to inform the public & gather input from specifically affected audiences & the general public.

For example, if a sculpture is to be installed at a location, talk with nearby businesses & residents. 4. Try to anticipate impact of project/event/arr work in terms of cost (installation, maintenance & repair over time) & public reaction.

(If you are applying for more than one Advisory Body, please include a response for each Advisory Body.)
I anticipate that this AB will assist the City Council in implementing these Goals and Priorities:
"Homelessness and Affordable Housing" - Establish a homelessness strategy, engaging local partners to develop a coordinated response, and expand diversity of affordable housing opportunities. Also "Modernization, Training and Workplace Enhancements" - Develop a systematic approach to modernizing the City's aging business systems, reviewing processes for alignment with industry best practices, and providing our workforce with the tools and training necessary to effectively deliver services to the community. It is clear that housing is a big focus, and the housing needs are still great. Also: I work and serve as a volunteer-leader at Las Positas College, our local community college, and we [and our CC District's Tri Valley Career Center] offer many opportunities for workforce development free of cost, including noncredit and apprenticeship programs, a new mini market (free food for students), career closet (free professional attire for students, coming soon), and a monthly pop-up drive-thru food pantry "The Market" (open to all); and we serve homeless residents and foster youth. There is potential for greater collaboration there.

Interests & Experiences
Summarize your participation in civic or community activities, including years of service.

I've been participating in civic and community activities for ~26 years, both paid and unpaid service. Most recently and locally, I have been volunteering at InterFaith Sharing food pantry & Fertile GroundWorks [summer], SAHA (Satellite Affordable Housing Assoc) [Thanksgiving meal distribution, holiday gift wrapping, etc.], LPC's The Market [monthly], Bay Area Community Services [Home in a Basket], Goodness Village [events], and the VA Community Living Center via 4-H club [holiday meal service, etc].

I am terming off my first full term as a City of Livermore commissioner (Commission for the Arts) -- I've really enjoyed it! I would like to make room for another neighbor on the arts commission. Also, I am an avid volunteer in the human services space; I am passionate about this work and I would be proud to serve on this advisory body and help better assess and address local need.

It is my understanding that this advisory body is a forum for discussing social and human service needs in Livermore; supporting the work completed by local service agencies, submitting an annual report to the Council, providing advice on solutions to community needs; and recommending grant funding to nonprofit agencies that provide services to low-income, homeless, senior, veteran and disabled residents. I see the grant priorities are public health, housing, homelessness, and safety net access.

Subject: RE: Interested in HS Commission Advisory - Request for a meeting recording Date: Thursday, October 20, 2022 10:49:49 AM
Hi, Debbie,
This email is to voice my support for Umashankar Meda for appointment to the City of Livermore Human Services Commission. He and I recently worked together at the Asha Jyothi fundraiser.

Mr. Meda is a member of Livermore's Shiva Vishnu Hindu Community and Cultural Center which has served as a great community partner for many years.

For over ten
years, I participated in the annual Grants-in-Aid programs which support the work of many nonprofits in our community.

Mr. Meda and I also participated in the recent
community health fair which was held at the Temple.

Our Human Services Commission does great work serving those who are less fortunate in our community. I believe that Mr. Meda would serve as a great addition to the Commission.

Sincerely,
John Marchand

Livermore has a huge potential to attract new businesses and housing while maintaining the parks and hiking trails. The advisory board can assist in achieving goals by providing strategic guidance to the city council and recommendations for city programs.

Question applies to multiple boards
Briefly explain your interest in serving on the Advisory Body(s) you have selected. (If applying for more than one Advisory Body, please include a response for each Advisory Body.)
When I joined LHA 5 years ago I was primarily interested in fixing what I considered to be a broken organization. I've learned a great deal about affordable housing and I'm now smart enough to help guide the organization as we begin to grow.

Briefly describe your interpretation of the purpose of this Advisory Body. To learn more you may visit the website found here: https://www.livermoreca.gov/government/city- clerk/advisory-bodies (If applying for more than one Advisory Body, please include a response for each Advisory Body.)
The LHA board is not advisory in nature. The board establishes expectations for the ED who operates LHA to achieve the objectives we articulate. We just hired a new ED, Sarah Ramler who replaces D'Jon Scott-Miller who resigned to administer the 15,000 HUD vouchers for San Francisco.
