I have attended hundreds of Council meetings over the years, especially during my 8 years on the Council and the 2 years since. I have also attended numerous advisory body and regional agency meetings.
The core principle of a "Community For All" is inclusivity, and it should encompass numerous aspects of our community's outreach, planning, and decision-making processes.
Building a Community For All requires us to to think critically about inclusivity as we consider broad issues ranging from housing/land use, environmental sustainability, mobility, and resource allocation, to basic public agency processes like transparency, stakeholder outreach, and ease of community participation.
At the most fundamental level, I believe we can more effectively address inequality in our community by building upon the Council's efforts to view many issues through the lens of inclusivity and forcing ourselves to ask tough questions and confront uncomfortable realities. Bringing as many thoughtful residents and stakeholders to the table as possible in a collaborative manner will help us craft better policies and outcomes for our community as a whole. Great examples of this include the HRC community forums, ongoing stakeholder outreach process for our displacement response strategy, enhanced translation services, and the balance the Council has struck to continue hybrid meetings.

Affordable housing is one of the most significant barriers we have to building a more inclusive community. I have been deeply involved in two Housing Element processes, our last General Plan update, several Precise Plan updates, and our NOFA process for affordable housing.
Increasing our housing supply requires us to employ a broad range of efforts over a long time horizon, guided by our Housing Element and associated rezonings, General and Precise Plans, affordable housing strategy, and other long-term priorities.
A thoughtfully crafted and balanced R3 rezoning effort has the potential to meaningfully increase the supply of housing while minimizing the number of older, more affordable multifamily complexes being replaced by projects that are both more expensive and less dense.
Adding more affordable housing requires community engagement, thoughtful planning, and some trade-offs. Where we add density, we must ensure we are also preserve the quality of life that our residents have come to expect, especially with respect to parks and open space, ease of transportation, and the quality of our schools. If we do not do those things, we risk losing the confidence of our residents and needing to course correct in ways that are more expensive and time consuming than if we had spent more time garnering additional community support.
A Council goal that is top of mind for me right now is Sustainability & Climate Resiliency, because it encompasses not only the traditional ways we might think of to address climate change, but also other key strategies impacting mobility, transportation, and quality of life.
When I chaired the Council Environmental Sustainability Committee years ago, we struggled to make many of the strides we are making today. Looking back, I wish we had done more, but I am elated that our city now has additional regional, state, and federal resources to better address sustainability and resiliency at local and regional levels.
If I'm appointed, I will work with my colleagues to complete and implement our community tree master plan update, press ahead with remaining sustainability action plan items, and the transformation of North Bayshore from an office park to a sustainable neighborhood and sanctuary where we all want to live, work, and play. I will also work to build a safer, more comprehensive multi-modal transportation infrastructure. In particular, I am excited about the potential for a safer California St. corridor, our regional recycled water projects, and further extension of our trail networks. &,%!#$

Mayor Hicks, Vice-Mayor Showalter, City Councilmembers, and Members of the Public:
I write to formally apply for the vacant Council seat most recently held by California Board of EqualizaVon Member Sally Lieber. We are deeply indebted to former Mayor & Councilmember Lieber for her years of service to our city, and I am humbled to seek appointment to her seat.
I am applying because I believe whoever fills the seat must have the knowledge, experience, relaVonships, voter trust, and work ethic to best represent our residents. They should be a team player who works collaboraVvely to achieve results. There will undoubtedly be several qualified applicants, but I will bring a unique combinaVon of skills, experience, and approach to the job.
I’ve stood before the voters three Vmes, most recently in 2016, and I think electoral experience is criVcal for this role. In addiVon, my eight years on Council combined with my HRC, EPC, and regional body service will allow me to hit the ground running. Having a colleague who can jump in and effecVvely collaborate on day one is a key qualificaVon given the many criVcal items on your work plan and upcoming goal se`ng process.
As I’ve previously demonstrated, I will work collaboraVvely with all my colleagues and staff. I will also always keep in mind that, as an appointed council member rather than one who was recently elected, my primary duty is to work with my colleagues and fellow residents to craa effecVve and inclusive policies rather than to push a personal poliVcal agenda.
In my opinion, the most serious social issues in Mountain View largely stem from inequality. They range from housing affordability and equality of opportunity to equitably addressing climate change, mobility, and livability. I have tried to address these topics in greater detail in my applicaVon as part of creaVng a Community for All.
In addiVon, working with the business community to maintain our economic vitality will be paramount as we emerge from the pandemic. Our small business and downtown are just as criVcal to our local economy and quality of life as our larger employers, and I look forward to engaging with our Chamber, Downtown Commidee, small business owners, and residents to create a stronger and more diverse business community from which we will all benefit.
I would be honored to again serve our community as a council member and pledge to work closely with all of you to build a beder Mountain View over the next two years. Thank you again for your consideraVon, and I look forward to parVcipaVng in the selecVon process.
Respeceully,
Chris Clark
