Community Service Experience:

Prior Deputy Sherriff in Napa County and supervised elementary school Traffic Safety Patrol program, Bicycle Safety program and Danger Stranger. Prior Sergeant at Vallejo Police and was assigned various community outreach programs/talks regarding campus safety, business safety and general police related issues. Current local business owner and participate in the Adopt-A-Highway program and donate to local community programs.

Education:

Vintage Highschool, Santa Rosa JC and Sacramento State.

Other relevant experience or expertise:

BUILDING AND FIRE CODE: Prior Administrative Police Sergeant assigned to oversee all buildings/facilities operated by the Vallejo Police Department. This involved working with associated Departments of Public Works, Electrical and Buildings as to project buildouts and compliance issues.

Current business owner of a Commercial Property Management company with a focus on facility related matters and project management. This involves an understanding of the various trades, relevant codes and permit process. Working closely with various GC and specific contractors as to project development and oversight. Familiar with CAD drawings, Bluebeam markup and have worked directly on permit submissions. Currently oversee the annual and 5 year inspections of numerous fire sprinkler and monitoring systems at various types of commercial buildings. CDBG Committee: Prior administrative Sergeant position involved various project review and assessment as to funding from CDBG programs that incorporated aspects of law enforcement or public safety.

Additional Questions
What is your understanding of the role and responsibility of this board? BUILDING AND FIRE: This Board is to assist the Building and Fire Department when an appeal is brought forth as to a permit or enforcement decision by either department. This is an administrative process that is on an as needed/called for basis. Additionally, the Building or Fire Department can also request the Board participate in an advisory status for the review of existing or proposed changes to the current City Codes/Regulations. CDBG COMMITTEE: Assisting the City in reviewing possible programs for funding. This may include research or working with various community based groups that would receive or administer such funding. Generally these programs are for lower income assistance or community wide programs that target specific problems. In the past, I had been the Vallejo Police Department's Liaison officer who worked with property owners and businesses impacted by homeless encampments as well as coordinating homeless camp clean up along with Public Works and the City Attorney's Office. Additionally, I have had a week long Mental Health training class as to existing laws and best practice methods of service and outreach by County Mental Health Departments and the incorporation of Law Enforcement in this process.

Have you ever attended a meeting of this board? If so, how many? No, but have attended and spoken at Planning Department meetings.

What duties of this board are most interesting to you?
BUILDING AND FIRE: The general application of relevant building and fire codes for the permit process and the review of enforcement actions as to applicability, impartial review and reasonableness. CDBG COMITTEE: With being a current resident and small business owner in Napa, I would like to participate and assist with issues that are impacting the community and could be helped with targeted funding and programs.

What activities of this board are least interesting to you? BOTH COMMITTEES: Noting that I am aware of as an outsider but I am sure there is the usual bureaucratic hurdles to deal with.

What programs or projects would you like to see improved or implemented? I know that in the last few years, Building has tried to expedite the permit process with the use of outside/third part review and that the Fire Prevention Division has increased. Obviously additional funding/staffing is the key to keeping this level of service or increasing processing times and public response times. CDBG: I would like to see greater funding and focus on the homeless issue that seems to be getting only worse in the past few years. I realize the limitations involved with the various case law decisions and the lack of funding so it would be interesting to participate in making the best use of the available funding and support of the community based groups that are willing to assist.

How would you approach improving these project(s) or program(s)? BUILDING AND FIRE: I have had good interaction with Fire Prevention and think their website is very informative. I am not familiar with staffing levels as to Building but do think that their ability to process permits and respond to citizen questions could be a bit more timely. I am sure that they too would be happy with a few more inspectors and admin staff. CDBG: Attempt to get as much funding via possible grants and involvement with existing social services and community groups. It would be wonderful if we can increase need space at shelters or increase low income housing but I understand this is a very hard prospect due to funding, community pushback if not done correctly as well as working with many homeless who are resistive to help for various reasons.

Are you involved in any organizations or activities that may result in a conflict of interest if you are appointed to this board?
BOTH COMMITTEES: We represent approximately 30 commercial properties in the City and County of Napa. Obviously if an appeal or an issue were to involve a represented property I would need to recuse myself.
