4/8/24, 8:39 AM morganhill.ca.gov/Admin/FormCenter/Submissions/Print/50486 https://www.morganhill.ca.gov/Admin/FormCenter/Submissions/Print/50486 3/6 What skills and/or experience do you possess that would be important to your role as a commissioner?*

4/8/24, 8:39 AM morganhill.ca.gov/Admin/FormCenter/Submissions/Print/50486 https://www.morganhill.ca.gov/Admin/FormCenter/Submissions/Print/50486 4/6 I have loved playing an active role as a commissioner with the library Culture and Arts Commission since 2019.

I have planning, collaboration, creativity, adaptability, advocacy, communication, and leadership skills & experience, as well as a deep appreciation and knowledge of different forms of arts and culture required for the position.

More than anything, I am passionate about supporting our literary, cultural and arts community in Morgan Hill.

It has been a privilege to help with making all our projects and events successful so far. We can do so much more as a commission and I look forward to being a part of that upward trajectory.

Even before joining the commission in 2019, I had a strong background in the arts, laid out in detail in my resume. A few enumerated here are:

1. Taught art for 8 years (Spectra Art program) in Cupertino Schools – this included art history, artist biography, and art & design elements & analysis, culminating in a related project. Prepping and implementation of 17 classes a year per class (I taught 7 classes one year) was time-consuming but immensely rewarding. I got a lot of arts-related experience & it included problem-solving that was needed to tackle myriad challenges.

2. Ran the yearly PTA Reflections arts program for many years, starting with my children’s elementary, middle and high school, and was also the chairperson for the 6th District PTA (Santa Clara County) county-wide program involving 300 PTA schools (of which about 80 participated) in Visual Arts , Photography, Literature, Music Composition, Dance Choreography and Film Production – this is a Nationally run program. I communicated with all the schools, trained school program chairs, arranged for judges in all categories, and hosted a rewards reception with performances at the SCCOE office each year on a shoestring budget.

3. Was the Art-Artists Workstream Lead in the Leadership Morgan Hill, Class of 2018 ‘Art and Inspiration’ utility box art project last year and class & LCAC-LMH liaison: I was privileged to work with LCAC showcasing my ability to follow through and complete my responsibilities, tackle challenges, be flexible and find solutions. I continued to lead this project in my capacity as a commissioner.

Since becoming a commissioner, I have had a lot of added experience in the field, including a wonderful synergy with my roles in other non-profit organizations:

4. I have been a docent for the ‘Let’s Look At Art ‘ San Jose Museum of Art program since 2019, and on its board since 2020, so I play an active role in its running and future. Being a docent helps me stay in touch with all aspects of art education (elements & principles), and has been and will continue to be immensely helpful in my role as a commissioner especially in evaluating potential public art.

5. Since 2019, I have been a part of the Morgan Hill Open Studios (MHOS) Planning committee, and worked in all 3 MHOS events so far. I am currently working on the 4th Annual MHOS slated for September 21-22, and though we all help out wherever we can, I am in charge of publicity (traditional & social media).

6. I have chaired the Art & Inspiration Utility Box Art project since 2019 and devised a way to keep it going through the pandemic despite the sponsor committee not being functional.

7. I chaired the 1st Morgan Hill United Against Hate (MHUAH) Week in 2022, and in addition to Congregation Emeth & Interfaith Community who originally brought the idea of MHUAH to our town after experiencing it in other cities in the Bay Area, I was able to convince many partners to join us (MHUSD, MHDA, AAUW Morgan Hill, SURJ South County etc.) and played an active role in 2023 too. I am part of the 3rd Annual MH-UAH committee again this year.

8. I worked with late artist Louis Latronica and helped with showcasing and cataloguing all his donated artefacts and art, and also organized the Sculpture Unveiling Event in 2022.

9. It was an honour and a privilege to chair the commission in the middle of the pandemic. We as a commission did our best to let our community know the arts were more important than ever.

10. I am an avid reader and writer and belong to many book clubs devoted to deep analysis and understanding. I also chair the Afternoon BookClub with AAUW Morgan Hill Branch. I stated back in 2019, and it still holds true, I am a life-long learner and lover of literature and the arts - literary, visual and performance - and bring to the table knowledge, passion, enthusiasm and motivation, and hope to do so in the future.

Being involved in public outreach to raise awareness and involvement is an important role. LCAC augments and enriches the lives of its residents, attracts visitors and businesses, and plays an important part in shaping the character of our city. Supporting and promoting our public library, and advocating for libraries to have all the facilities needed to be a hub of knowledge and a generator of ideas, making it an important means of achieving equity in the education, development and intellectual growth of all its residents – is an important role of a commissioner. Reviewing and recommending potential works of public art to be acquired or installed by the city to benefit the public; planning, and implementing various programs e.g. exhibitions, concerts, performance arts, Open Studios tours, art and sculpture in public places, art and literary competitions for all ages, and other creative avenues etc., and giving the public both opportunities to participate through creativity and self-expression or enjoyment and education are its goals.

I am happy to see that at present, the role of the Arts is finally being recognized. The world appreciates the importance of STEM (which is demonstrably important). However, the power of the arts in stimulating creativity, empathy, and compassion, bringing diverse people together, improving the quality of life, and contributing to economic prosperity – has only recently been recognized. It is exciting to see STEAM being given its due. The arts have always held a place of paramount importance in my life. Continuing to serve in the Library, Culture and Arts Commission and using my passion, skills, and years of experience to benefit the community and our city would be the ultimate honour and privilege.

What would you like to accomplish as a commissioner?*
(i) I would actively support the current goals and objectives of LCAC, especially continuing with all our current work projects because I believe in them very strongly. We play an important role in our city in creating an atmosphere of acceptance and belonging, supporting literacy & learning, the arts, and various cultures – bringing many communities & organizations together in our common goal of improvement and love of our city and its residents.
(ii) Additionally, as a commission we are still in the middle of work projects including planning an art master plan for our city. I’d love to be able to complete that with my commissioner cohorts. (iii) Back in 2019, I thought that exploring the possibility of having a city poet laureate/musician/artist/performance artist would be a good way to promote talented individuals who would in turn be an ambassador for our city. The pandemic hit soon after, and life changed for all of us. It would be wonderful to attempt to make this a possibility finally, with help from our community organizations, members, and volunteers.
(iv) I would love to work with the school district to explore the possibility of having an additional youth LCAC commissioner position from MHUSD for the youth point of view about library resources and arts projects – to inject the voices of our youth on our commission.
(v) This continues to be my long-term goal: to educate the public about the importance of the arts in this age of STEM initiatives. Tirelessly advocate for the arts – STEAM, not just STEM should be society’s goal – every lover of the arts should be able to hold their head up high, express themselves and be able to make a living in a career they love, and not just pick one that brings in more money but which they aren’t passionate about.

Though our world has already veered towards STEAM, it is still a tough proposition, and I would love to continue to work towards that goal.
(vi) Additionally: researching and applying for county, state & federal grants to augment our LCAC budget would make it possible for us to pursue arts projects that we aren’t currently able to undertake.

4/8/24, 8:39 AM morganhill.ca.gov/Admin/FormCenter/Submissions/Print/50486 https://www.morganhill.ca.gov/Admin/FormCenter/Submissions/Print/50486 6/6 What are the greatest opportunities facing the community in regards to this commission?* The LCAC is imperative for the benefit of our community. It plays a vital role in fostering community engagement, promoting education and the arts, supporting artists & creatives, and preserving cultural heritage.

Events & programs like Art a la Carte, International Celebration. Morgan Hill Open Studios, Art & Inspiration Utility Art Project, Morgan Hill United Against Hate… to name a few, help with this.

The outreach work, and planning and execution of programs by LCAC is an avenue for enrichment and selfexpression. The arts are also a generator of employment - through LCAC programs, artists young and old have the opportunity to create and showcase their art in various public art opportunities, in literary, visual, digital, and performance arts etc.

The Library, Culture & Arts Commission plays a pivotal role in enriching community life, fostering creativity and innovation, and promoting cultural understanding and appreciation.

There are other benefits and opportunities for our community. Having a beautiful town with a rich artistic and cultural climate is a great magnet for attracting visitors, and will foster economic opportunities, business and private investment, and contribute to the transformation of Morgan Hill into a vibrant commercial and cultural hub.

Subject: Reapplication for the Position of Commission, Morgan Hill Library, Culture & Arts Commission Dear Mayor Mark Turner, Mayor Pro Tem Marilyn Librers, and Council Members Yvonne Martinez Beltran, Gino Borgioli, and Rene Spring,
I am excited to reapply for the position of commissioner on the Morgan Hill Library, Culture & Arts Commission.

Having served on the commission already for five fulfilling years, I would love to have the opportunity to continue working on various projects going on at present, and thus contribute to the advancement of the arts, educational and cultural initiatives in our community.

During these past five years, I have had the privilege of collaborating with my wonderful LCAC colleagues, the City, and community organizations and volunteers to implement many impactful programs and initiatives. (The details are in my resume.) From organizing art competitions, exhibitions, sculpture unveiling, open studios, and cultural events, to chairing the commission - a rotating position - and advocating for our superb Morgan Hill Library and the Santa Clara County library system, I’ve witnessed firsthand the impact of the arts in enriching and helping the lives of residents of our community, and especially through the terrible pandemic years.

Through my background and experience in the arts, as well as several years of community involvement and organization, I have brought and will continue to bring valuable perspectives and insights to the commission. I have also worked hard for many of our projects to come to a successful fruition. I am committed to continuing all that and more, and to ensuring that our initiatives represent the various interests and voices in our community. Additionally, I am also excited about the possibilities for continued growth and innovation in the future.

I am confident that my dedication, collaborative spirit, and vision will enable me to make meaningful contributions as we collectively work together in promoting the arts and fostering a vibrant Morgan Hill supportive of art, culture, literacy, inclusivity, and education.

Continuing to serve as a commissioner in the Library Culture and Arts Commission would be a great honour and privilege, and I would be grateful to be given the opportunity to do so.

Thanking you!
Sincerely,
Suman Ganapathy

Morgah Hill Library, Culture and Arts Commission 2020 - 2024 What skills and/or experience do you possess that would be important to your role as a commissioner?* I am a lifelong student and teacher in both the visual and performing arts.

I would like to serve on the commission because as a working artist, I often have a different perspective than those who are not actively creating art for public use. In our community I wear many hats. Because I have worked in many artistic disciplines throughout the years, I have the ability to relate to and support the needs of many types of artists. I understand the number of hours it takes to create a mural, the amount of paint required to apply a mural and the number of people that have to collaborate to support an artist to allow them to bring their vision to the community. I know how many hours go into the rehearsal that leads to the amazing performance. I know how hard the writer worked. I know how to muck a stall and get the horses saddled and in the trailer for the Fourth of July Parade and I know how to listen to the person who had a hard day and needs some support because they did all of this. As a mom, I know when a bandaid and a long talk is needed. A a working woman, I know how to be tough and when to let it roll off my back and I know how to be flexible because we all work hard and we need to give as we would like to be given to.

What would you like to accomplish as a commissioner?*
I would like to do many things. First I would like to continue to develop and facilitate the events and activities on the LCAC Workplan for 2024.

I would like to go on to reinvigorate some projects that have been on backlog for a time, aproaching them with new knowledge and enthusiasm; the Morgan Hill Coloring Book, expand the mural and art installations throughout Morgan Hill and our Downtown Areas, to facilitate the Art Installments that will reside at Villa Mira Monte and to support the Historical Society through their development of new facilities and projects and the continuation of existing ones. I would like to participate in the programs being put on by our Morgan Hill Library and to increase the art presence in our schools.

What are the greatest opportunities facing the community in regards to this commission?* The greatest opportunities?
The greatest opportunities are the opportunities for the community to PARTICIPATE. We have a lot of people with ideas and opinions, but we need to get people to show up for Morgan Hill. It's easy to have opinions. It's easy to have ideas. It's not so easy to collaborate with others to create something from those ideas that reflects the value of our community rather than just ourselves. We have the opportunity to engage our community.

Library Culture and Arts Commission Application – Amanda Santiago Amanda Santiago
P a g e | 1
Good Afternoon,
My name is Amanda, (Mandi) Santiago, and I am interested in returning to the Library, Culture and Arts Commission for a second term serving my friends and neighbors in the City of Morgan Hill.

I have been a lifelong student and teacher of the arts through many mediums.

My favorite mediums include, but are not limited to, oil and acrylic paint, guitar, piano, and dance. I am a Live Oak Graduate, a Gavilan Alumni and an ASU student, having studied Engineering Management with the Ira A. Fulton School of Engineering.

I have served on the Library, Culture and Arts Commission for the City of Morgan Hill for the last four years, facilitating the relationship between artists in our community and the city, as well as supporting the relationship between the city and the organizations that contribute to the well-being of the entire community, such as the Historic Society, the Library, our local theater groups and our residents to create events that engage the community and inspire residents to contribute their talents to building and maintaining a culture of caring in our town that will remain vital and sustainable for generations to come.

My goals as a Library, Culture and Arts Commissioner include bringing accessible art to our town that represents and appeals to residents of all ages and walks of life. I would like to further expand and organize our public art programs and streamline the coordination of our events like Art A La Carte to help them reach as many residents as possible, and to encourage our community to participate in all levels of the planning and presentation of these events.

I would like to reach out to our neighboring cities,
to mutually enhance access to the arts and
literature and to support the creation of lasting
bonds between ourselves and our neighbors to
ensure that art continues to flourish in Morgan Hill.

Thank you for this opportunity,
Amanda Santiago

To Whom It May Concern:

I am writing to express my interest in rejoining the Morgan Hill Library, Culture, and Arts Commission. Previously, I served on the commission from April 2019 to April 2021. With a background in education and a strong passion for the arts, I am eager to contribute to this esteemed board once again, advocating for our community and advancing the cause of arts promotion.

As an educator with over 20 years of experience, I have witnessed firsthand the transformative power of literature and the arts on students. I've observed students immerse themselves in imaginary worlds found within books, forming enduring connections with fictional characters. Moreover, I've seen dedicated library media specialists captivate young minds with their storytelling prowess. However, I've also observed the challenges faced by our library systems due to funding cuts and the digital age's impact. I am committed to advocating for our libraries, families, and students to ensure their continued success.

Throughout my career, I have actively supported various facets of the arts. From collaborating with design companies and curating displays and merchandising products to championing emerging artists and performers, to participating in community art installations and pursuing my own artistic endeavors, I have consistently advocated for cultural enrichment. I am eager to continue this advocacy and support as a commission member, fostering a vibrant arts community in Morgan Hill.

Thank you for considering my application. I am deeply committed to serving the Morgan Hill community and am eager to contribute to the commission's important work. I eagerly await your response.

Sincerely,
Jake Thompson

April 1, 2024
Dear Members of the Arts Commission Selection Committee, I am writing to express my genuine enthusiasm for the prospect of serving as a member of the Arts Commission in Morgan Hill. The arts have been a constant presence throughout my life, shaping not only my personal journey but also igniting my passion for arts education.

My post-high school path took a non-traditional turn as I dove directly into the workforce.

Yet, I soon found myself wanting to find ways to express myself creatively. This desire led me to photography. After immersing myself in photography classes and volunteering with the RainForest Action Network, I was presented with a remarkable opportunity: to document indigenous communities in the Amazon region of Roraima, Brazil. Upon returning to the States, I curated a collection of images that found a home in an exhibition held at The Puffin Room in New York City. It was during this time that I made the pivotal decision to pursue a degree in art history as I felt that I wanted to make art and art education part of my life.

The chance to serve on the Arts Commission resonates deeply with me. It would be an honor to bring my genuine love for the arts and my diverse life experiences to help make arts education more accessible to everyone, supporting our local artists, and helping our community thrive through creativity.

Respectfully,
Robyn Carrillo

Dear Honorable Mayor and Morgan Hill City Council,
I am hereby applying to the Parks & Recreation Commission open position as I have a strong experience with running Youth and Senior programs, as well as outdoor activities for the overall community.

My second preference would be to be reappointed to the Morgan Hill Library, Cultural and Arts Commission (LCAC). Although I have just completed 2 successful terms (where my responsibilities included supporting community outreach, spearheading the International Celebration and the Art Ala Carte events, sponsorships for the utility box project, Library outreach and also supporting our historical resources), there is much more work to be done in these and other areas.

I feel that I still have more to contribute to the greater Morgan Hill Community.

I humbly thank you for your consideration.

Dear Members of the Morgan Hill Parks and Recreation Commission, I am writing to express my interest in serving on the Morgan Hill Parks and Recreation Commission. As a recent resident of Morgan Hill, I have developed a deep appreciation for our local parks and the role they play in fostering community spirit and promoting outdoor activities.

As an avid mountain biker and hiker, I have had the opportunity to explore many of our local parks. The diverse trails and natural beauty they offer have not only provided me with a platform for my outdoor pursuits but also allowed me to understand the value these parks bring to our community. They serve as a haven for residents like me who enjoy the outdoors and provide a space for us to connect with nature and stay active.

My three children are also frequent visitors to the local parks, particularly the playgrounds. Observing their joy and the sense of community among the families at these parks has further fueled my desire to contribute to the preservation and enhancement of these spaces. We live near Paradise Park, a true jewel of our neighborhood, and its value to our daily lives is immeasurable.

I believe that my personal connection to and passion for our local parks, coupled with my understanding of the needs of diverse park users, equip me well to serve on the Parks and Recreation Commission. I am committed to ensuring that our parks continue to be safe, inclusive, and enjoyable spaces for all residents of Morgan Hill.

Moreover, I am eager to give back to the community that my family and I have grown to love. I am motivated by a strong desire to add value to our community and contribute to making Morgan Hill an even better place to live. I believe that serving on the Parks and Recreation Commission would be an excellent opportunity to make a meaningful contribution.

In conclusion, I am excited about the possibility of serving on the Morgan Hill Parks and Recreation Commission. I am confident that my passion for outdoor activities, my firsthand experience as a park user, and my strong desire to contribute to our community make me a strong candidate for this position. I look forward to the possibility of working with you to enhance the beauty, accessibility, and community value of our local parks.

Thank you for considering my application.

Have you ever served on any other citizen advisory commission or committee? If yes, please list and briefly explain the purpose of each one.*
No, this is my first commission application.

What skills and/or experience do you possess that would be important to your role as a commissioner?* I have been a Magical Bridge playground volunteer for almost two years. During this time, I have worked closely with Recreation Coordinator Chiquy Mejia. She helped me develop a greater understanding of how our city parks and recreation programs are managed and their importance to our community. I have also had the opportunity to work with, and learn from, Public Services Director Chris Ghione, Recreation Manager Jennie Tucker, and Maintenance Coordinator Keri Russell, both as a park volunteer and as a member of Leadership Morgan Hill. These positive experiences led me to apply to become a member of the Parks and Recreation Commission. I want to continue to serve my community and expand my volunteer work with our parks.

What do you understand the role of the commission to be and why would you like to serve on this commission?* The Parks and Recreation Commission allows members of our community the opportunity to be part of the decision-making process of our City Council, as it relates to our parks, recreation programs, and facilities. The commission is comprised of volunteers who serve their community through their engagement and leadership. I want to serve on the commission to help our city as we grow and expand, and to provide accurate information to my neighbors when they have questions about city programs and budgets. We raised our son in Morgan Hill and enjoyed the benefits of our beautiful parks, library, public art, and recreation facilities. I want to help keep Morgan Hill a vibrant and inviting community for the next generation.

The Magical Bridge playground is an inclusive playground, whose design and structures allow all ages and all abilities to enjoy the park together. I knew how important this park would be for my friends, and our community, and was part of a group promoting and fundraising for the park years before it opened. As a park volunteer, I see the positive impact this park has had on our families and youth, and I know the park would not have been built without the dedication of our Parks and Recreation staff members, Parks and Recreation Commission, and the advocacy of our City Council. As a commissioner, I want to be part of our city’s commitment to inclusivity and access, and will help support future innovative proposals that improve the lives of our residents.

What are the greatest opportunities facing the community in regards to this commission?* The City of Morgan Hill manages a large number of recreation programs, parks, and services that offer tremendous benefits to our community. I have lived in Morgan Hill for 21 years and have seen the building of the Library, Centennial Recreation Center, Aquatics Center, and the Outdoor Sports Fields, as well as the improvements at the Community and Cultural Center. These projects were thoughtfully designed to benefit our community, and to be fiscally sound. Decades of responsible planning and stewardship have created opportunities for our residents, and our community continues to grow because families want to move here. As we enter a period of fiscal uncertainty, maintaining these facilities and our programs will be important to our residents. The Parks and Recreation Commission provides an opportunity for our residents to speak on their concerns and offer their suggestions. Commissioners will help listen to our residents, educate our neighbors, and will work with our City Council to help get us through leaner years.

To whom it may concern,
I am seeking an appointment to the City of Morgan Hill Parks and Recreation Commission. I have lived in Morgan Hill for 21 years and our son is a graduate of Ann Sobrato High School. I have been a city volunteer for almost two years at the Magical Bridge playground and my son was a member of the Youth Action Council in 2022/2023. During these past two years, I have seen countless city employees and volunteers demonstrate their devotion and love to our community. Their dedication and tireless work ethic have been an inspiration, and pushed me to become more involved in our town. I joined Leadership Morgan Hill’s Class of 2024 and have been working directly with the Parks and Recreation Administration and the Maintenance Department on our class project. I want to continue to volunteer and serve my community as a member of the Parks and Recreation Commission over the next four years, and beyond.

If a position on the Parks and Recreation Commission is unavailable, I ask you to please consider me for appointment to the Library, Culture and Arts Commission. I am an avid reader and know the profound impact public libraries have on our youth and community. I also believe public art projects are essential to improving quality of life, as these projects bring communities together, help demonstrate our values, and bring color and joy to our surroundings.

I hope you will find my application and resume worthy of consideration and I look forward to answering your questions.

Thank you,
Tanaya Rose

Have you ever served on any other citizen advisory commission or committee? If yes, please list and briefly explain the purpose of each one.*
No. I have served on multiple company committee's and am an active attendant of our Board Meeting.

What skills and/or experience do you possess that would be important to your role as a commissioner?* Collaboration, teamwork focus, and the ability to listen as well as speak. Listening to the public in a fair and objective matter, without having a bias or personal objective would be critical in this role, and I am able to do this. I have been in Senior Management in the insurance industry for a long while, and in addition have an active Agent license in the insurance industry. Ethics is extremely important to me in conducting business. I am also a 25 year resident of Morgan Hill, and have really enjoyed seeing the city expand all of its services. I am also a member of the recreation center, and very interested in physical health and well being, which inspired me to apply for this seat.

What do you understand the role of the commission to be and why would you like to serve on this commission?* A commissioner is a county representative responsible for long and short term planning for the commission selected. Parks and Recreation I assume would involve our parks, activities and recreation. Morgan Hill built a beautiful facility, renovated the community park, and has done some wonderful things for the community. I would like to be part of that!

I would like to be involved in both the current, and future plans for the parks and recreation center, while also keeping in mind our Community's population growth. Morgan Hill was approximately 20,000 people when I moved here, and we now have a robust city of approximately 45,000 people. This naturally requires both maintaing our excellent facilities while potentially expanding them.

What are the greatest opportunities facing the community in regards to this commission?* This is only a guess, but budget is usually where the strategy must center. At least that is the key in the corporate world. Making the most of the budget provided, savings costs, while also creating quality activities and resources for Morgan Hill citizens is key.

Christine Burrington Morgan Hill, Ca
Dear Madam/Sir:

Thank you for reviewing my application to serve on the Parks and Recreation Commission.

I have lived in Morgan Hill for almost 25 years, and have raised my family here. I have been dedicated to living here due to the difference that Morgan Hill provides, even commuting all the way to San Francisco for my work for many of those years. That is dedication, but it comes from the fact that our city is not San Jose, San Francisco, or other area’s that do not offer the beauty and serenity that we have here.

Our children are grown now, one in medical school in Illinois and the other graduating from San Francisco State in a few months. I believe having a safe and caring community has also been a part of their success. And they both attended public schools! First Paradise, and then Sobrato High School.

We have chosen to keep our house here, and have been the recipients of new restaurtants, a beautiful recreation facility, new activities and the renovation of Community Park. I would love the oppportunity to give back to the community to serve on the Parks and Recreation Commission. I am very much a believer in physicial fitness, and have been a member of our original Fitness Center way back when, to now being a member of our recreation center. I believe having a good healthy lifestyle contributes to people’s mental health as well.

I have worked in Senior Management for many years now in the insurance industry. My specialty is medical malpractice insurance for physicians. It is a very complex type of coverage and has kept me motivated all of these years due to the constant changes in the medical field. Physicians have gone through quite a bit both during and post pandemic, and I enjoy both managing my team of 6 people, while also helping our physicians navigate in this new world of contstant change and challenges.

The skills I have developed in my career include collaboration between all departments, making decisions that are in the best interest of both our insured’s and my Company, and of course navigating budgets. I believe all of these attributes would help me bring the most to being on this commission.

Please let me know if I can provide any additional information, and thank you for considering me as a potential applicant!
Kind Regards,
Christine Burrington

Dear Parks & Recreation Commission Selection Committee, Morgan Hill has undergone significant growth during my two decades as a resident.

Throughout this time, I have been a passionate advocate for fostering a healthy and vibrant community.

My commitment has manifested in various roles. I served on School Site Councils and held leadership positions within Morgan Hill Unified School District (MHUSD) parent organizations, including the Live Oak High School Band Boosters, until my daughter's graduation in 2021. I currently donate my time to several nonprofits, including the board of directors for the Morgan Hill Mushroom Festival to raise funds for local scholarships.

Additionally, I have experience working directly with the community as a group fitness instructor at the Centennial Recreation Center (CRC) and a volleyball coach for the City of Morgan Hill at the CRC.

These experiences have instilled in me a strong sense of community spirit. By combining my professional background, involvement with the CRC, and long-standing dedication to Morgan Hill, I am confident I possess the qualifications to be a valuable asset to the Parks & Recreation Commission.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Sincerely,
Tara Bevington

On June 6, 2018, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 2277 N.S., a comprehensive update of Title 18 – Zoning of the City of Morgan Hill Municipal Code. The update included an amendment to the City’s official zoning map consistent with the Morgan Hill 2035 General Plan.

On December 7, 2022, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 2340 N.S., adding Chapter 15.62 (Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure) to Title 15 – Buildings and Construction of the City of Morgan Hill Municipal Code. The update included provisions for electric vehicle infrastructure for parking that serves newly constructed and existing buildings.

On January 25, 2023, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 23-004, adopting the City of Morgan Hill 2023-2031 Housing Element. The Housing Element outlines implementation programs/actions that the City is committed to implementing over the eight-year planning period.

On February 13, 2024, the Planning Commission considered and recommended, unanimously, the City Council approve the proposed draft Ordinance (Attachment 1).

2 FISCAL AND RESOURCE IMPACT:

Staff regularly brings forward bundles of minor amendments as necessary to enhance, correct, and/or refine the Code; and therefore, the cost is borne, and work is accommodated, within the respective division's annual workplan and budget.

CEQA (California Environmental Quality Act):

This Ordinance is exempt from environmental review pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines. The proposed text amendments are covered by the common-sense exemption that CEQA applies only to projects which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment.

Where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA. The proposed amendments implement the City of Morgan Hill 2023-2031 Housing Element, provide updates to electric vehicle charging provisions consistent with Chapter 15.62 (Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure) in the Municipal Code, provide updates to parking provisions to comply with Assembly Bill 894, and implement minor amendments due to clerical errors and inconsistencies.

REPORT NARRATIVE:

Per Ordinance 2321, purchases up to $300,000 can be made under the City Manager's purchasing authority if they are made exclusively with Countywide funds for the administration of the Countywide Solid Waste Program.

The purpose of this report is to provide the City Council with an opportunity to adopt a Resolution appropriating an additional $4,400 in the City’s Countywide Solid Waste Program (see Attachment 1) for FY 2023/24, and to approve a contract with the San Jose Conservation Corp (SJCC) for $544,400 to provide Recycling and Reuse Hotline and Website Administration Services (R&R Hotline and Website Services) from June 2024 through FY 2026/27 (see Attachment 2).

Background
In July 2021, City of Morgan Hill staff began providing Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) Administrator and Contracting Agent roles for administering the work of the

3 Countywide Solid Waste Program. The County has retained the third role of Fiscal Agent for these programs and is the entity authorized and responsible for collecting County solid waste fees as well as managing and reporting to the State on various Countywide solid waste planning efforts.

One of the largest contracts the City administers has been with San Jose State University (SJSU) for implementation of R&R Hotline and Website Services. This program provides a one-stop-shop for Santa Clara County residents to find out how to responsibly dispose of their solid waste goods and/or to connect residents with opportunities for reuse, allowing the item a second life instead of going to a landfill. FY 2023/24 is SJSU's final year running the R&R Hotline and Website Services. A competitive Request for Proposals (RFP) was released in late 2023 to find a new vendor for these services and San Jose Conservation Corps (SJCC) was selected.

Proposed Contract
Because of the complex nature of the R&R Hotline and Website Services program, the Recycling and Waste Reduction Commission (RWRC) Implementation Committee (IC) voted to support a three-year contract for $180,000 per year to allow adequate time for the selected new vendor to establish the program and to support the anticipated innovation that will occur as the program matures with the new vendor over several years. The RWRC IC also elected to enter into contract with the new vendor starting in FY 2023/24 to allow a period of overlap where the new vendor could train on the R&R Hotline and Website Services with support from the current vendor (SJSU). The approximately three-year contract will total $544,400, with $4,400 allocated to FY 2023/24 for training in June, and $180,000 allocated annually thereafter through FY 2026/27, contingent on approval of the annual funds by the RWRC. To support the June 2024 training, the City's current 2023/24 budget for this program will be amended as shown in the following table:

COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT:

Not Applicable
The subject of this staff report is entirely administrative in nature and does not impact services directly provided to the Morgan Hill community. Given this, no community engagement was conducted prior to this meeting.

ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS:

3 The City Council could decline approval of the proposed contract for $544,400. In this scenario, the City would be unable to administer R&R Hotline and Website Services which is work that participating jurisdictions have asked that the City implement in its role as the Countywide Solid Waste Program Contracting Agent and Administrator.

PRIOR CITY COUNCIL AND COMMISSION ACTIONS:

The City Council has not taken prior action on this proposed contract.

FISCAL AND RESOURCE IMPACT:

The R&R Hotline and Website Services program was approved by the RWRC as a funded project using County solid waste planning fees as part of the FY 2024/25 budget. Therefore, the first $180,000 of the proposed $544,400 contract with SJCC will be included in the City's recommended contract budget for FY 2024/25 in the Countywide Solid Waste Program under Fund 246. Completion of the additional two years of the contract will be contingent on annual approval of the $180,000 of funding by RWRC for 2025/26 and 2026/27.

The cost for training of the new vendor for R&R Hotline and Website Services was approved by RWRC in February 2024 to allow a period of overlap in June 2024 where the new vendor could train on the services with support from the current vendor (SJSU).

The training costs still need to be added to the City's contract budget for Countywide Solid Waste Services. The additional $4,400 will be appropriated to Fund 246 via the attached resolution and budget scorecard (Attachment 1). This increase in expense is completely offset by an increase in revenue as explained below.

As Fiscal Agent, the County is the entity authorized and responsible for collecting County solid waste fees as well as revenues from other sources (e.g. grant funds, jurisdiction contributions, etc.). The City sends a Fund Transfer Request quarterly to the County to cover costs related to the City’s role as TAC Administrator and Contracting Agent as well as all contract costs. The City’s Fund Transfer Requests will cover the costs associated with the contract and there will be no net impact on the General Fund.

Because of the Fund Transfer Requests, in no case would Fund 246 go into a negative balance. However, there is a possibility that Fund 246 will have a positive balance at the end of the year if some of the planned contract expenditures come in under budget. Any balance in Fund 246 at the end of the year would be available for future expenditures on the countywide solid waste programs.

MEETING DATE: April 24, 2024
PREPARED BY:

Cynthia Iwanaga, Management Analyst
APPROVED BY: City Manager
APPROVE FIRST AMENDMENT TO ENVIRONMENTAL SYSTEMS, INC.

HVAC MAINTENANCE SERVICES AGREEMENT

RECOMMENDATION(S)

1. Approve the First Amendment to the maintenance services agreement with Environmental Services, Inc. (ESI) to increase the amount by $600,000 for a total agreement amount of $1,262,944.

2. Authorize the City Manager to execute and administer the first amendment with Environmental Services, Inc.

REPORT NARRATIVE:

The purpose of this report is to provide the City Council with an opportunity to consider an amendment to the City's agreement for Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) maintenance, repair, and replacement services with Environmental Systems, Inc. (ESI) that will, if approved, increase the total amount of the two-year agreement by $600,000 from $662,944 to $1,262,944.

The City has long contracted for professional HVAC preventative maintenance, repair, and replacement services at the City's facilities. The City's current agreement with Environmental Systems, Inc. expires on October 31, 2025. An additional $600,000 is being requested for HVAC control system upgrades and repair and replacement services due to the higher than anticipated number of HVAC units that have been replaced at City facilities this Fiscal Year 2023-2024. As the City's facilities age, original equipment has begun to fail, and repairs do not always make financial sense given the remaining operational life of the unit.

4 The original two-year budget for repair and replacement services was $600,000. In the past year, expensive HVAC equipment has had to be repaired or replaced at City facilities, including a Community and Cultural Center HVAC unit, the Community Playhouse heat pump, an Aquatic Center pool heater, and two HVAC units at the Centennial Recreation Center. As a result, the projected remaining amount available on the existing agreement for repairs and replacements is less than $100,000 through October 31, 2025. While these replacements are expensive, they are accounted for and have funding available within the City's Facility Replacement Fund (741). For this reason, staff is recommending that a First Amendment be approved in the amount of $600,000 in order to provide additional allocation in this service agreement for repairs and replacements moving forward. The City is anticipating future additional needs at the City facilities in the coming year.

COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT:

Not Applicable
As HVAC preventative maintenance and repair services are a regular and expected City service, no efforts were made to inform the community about this proposed agreement.

ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS:

The City Council could decline to approve the amendment, but this is not recommended as the repair and replacement of HVAC units is essential to ensuring City facilities' heating and cooling systems operate properly at optimal levels for good indoor air quality as well as the continuing energy and cost efficiency of the HVAC systems.

PRIOR CITY COUNCIL AND COMMISSION ACTIONS:

The City Council previously awarded the agreement to ESI on October 4, 2023.

FISCAL AND RESOURCE IMPACT:

The additional $600,000 for repair and replacement costs in Fiscal Year 2023-24 and Fiscal Year 2024-25 are being expended from the Building Replacement Fund (Fund 741). The remaining allocation under this agreement for Fiscal Year 2024-25 and Fiscal Year 2025-26 will be budgeted in the General Fund (010), Building Maintenance Fund (740), and the Building Replacement Fund (Fund 741).

CEQA (California Environmental Quality Act):

Categorical Exemption
The activities described in this Staff Report are categorically exempt under CEQA, specifically pursuant to Section 15301 of the CEQA Guidelines (Existing Facilities), as the subject work involves the repair, maintenance or minor alterations of existing City facilities involving negligible or no expansion of use of those facilities.
