Daniel I Wilkowsky
Question applies to Measure G Citizen Oversight Committee If you’re applying as a member who demonstrates professional experience in municipal operations or capital project delivery, please describe your experience below.

I was an elected Director for the Union Sanitary District in Fremont, CA, for 22 years, serving as Chairperson for several terms. We had 120 employees and a capital plan of over $150 million/year. I was a full-time Deputy Public Works Director for the City of Modesto, CA, responsible for 2 wastewater treatment plants, pump stations, sewers and storm drains, 140 employees, and a construction plan of $240 million. I worked directly with the Public Works Director, City Manager and City Council. I am on the City of Napa Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Commission. I am a Registered Professional Civil Engineer in CA with over 30 years experience. If I don't qualify as your municipal operations committee member, I would be interested in one of the other seats.

Question applies to Measure G Citizen Oversight Committee Please list two professional references and their phone numbers:
(1) Kory Kaplan, CRB Consulting Engineers, Emeryville, CA. 510-593-6191 (2) Jennifer Toy Harrison, Board Member, Union Sanitary District, Fremont, CA (510) 477-7500 Other relevant experience or expertise:

Working with city staff and community representatives on Napa's BPAC has been a phenomenal experience. The Commission has provided input on new city streets, crossings, signals and bike lanes. We're working to move the city's biking status from bronze to silver by implementing safety improvements around the city including separated bike lanes as the city improves road conditions. We have worked to implement safer crossings for pedestrians and added HAWK (High-Intensity Activated cross Walk) signals near schools. I chair the Maintenance Committee for the Napa Valley Vine Trail working with engineering staff for county and valley communities; I am an avid cyclist and concerned about cycling safety on city streets and improving bike lanes. I have cycled all around the SF Bay Area and been on cycling trips throughout Europe.. I have hosted cycling events in Napa for cycling guests. I was a former Deputy Director of Public Works in Modesto and I have often presented projects to the EPA, state officials, city councils, planning commissions, and public works departments.

Additional Questions
What is your understanding of the role and responsibility of this board? The voters in Napa approved a sales tax to improve infrastructure including city streets and parks. Funds may also be used to assist affordable housing and public safety. Residents trust the City of Napa to carryout the conditions of their vote. As a member of the Citizen Oversight Committee I will see that their trust is documented and visible. I have both municipal and industrial experience in managing large capital projects and overseeing professional audits for funded projects.

Have you ever attended a meeting of this board? If so, how many? No, this board is just being created
Daniel I Wilkowsky
What duties of this board are most interesting to you?
I am interested in safeguarding the trust that the City of Napa and its voters expect from the Oversight Committee. I believe that public workshops in affected neighborhoods will encourage support for the community of projects that are being forecast. Designs may be offered to city officials with a semblance of outcomes. I have a history of comprehending the overstatements and making relevant inquiries of the presenter. As a member of the city's BPAC, I have worked closely with city staff to provide suggestions on planning and street improvements.

What activities of this board are least interesting to you? The Citizens Oversight Committee must be reliable from the very beginning. Board members must be true to the expectations of the voters. I don't believe this board should be seen as a political stepping-stone. I have no political ambitions.

What programs or projects would you like to see improved or implemented? At the top of the list for enactment are improvements in city infrastructure, such as paving, curbs and gutters. I also see the need for additional recreational facilities in city parks, maybe add some "park-lets" in commercial areas. Traffic safety improvements can help alleviate the snarl of traffic entering and exiting the city, especially during rush hours. I would like to improve bicycle corridors as an alternative to vehicle trips for school, work and shopping.

How would you approach improving these project(s) or program(s)? I'm an engineer so I am accustomed to reviewing data. I will look at the details of project proposals and cost estimates. I will listen to other board members and seek a consensus in moving forward. I will assist city staff to prepare for public workshops and newsletters.

Are you involved in any organizations or activities that may result in a conflict of interest if you are appointed to this board? I am currently on the city's BPAC. I would resign from that commission to prevent any conflicts between the commission and the new Oversight Committee.

Slow Down Napa, 2022 - 2024, member of steering committee Napa CERT, 2020 - 2024, volunteer member Belmont CERT, 2018-06 - 2020-09, volunteer member Other relevant experience or expertise:

My first job was working in a bike repair shop. I've been an avid biker since then. I bring my daughter to or from school by bike most days. I do many errands around Napa by bike or pushing my daughter in a wagon. I have spoken before city council on several transportation-centric topics and attended the public design review for Lincoln Ave.

Additional Questions
What is your understanding of the role and responsibility of this board? To advocate for members of the community who walk, bike, use other micro-mobility devices, or wish to do so. To advise the city where mobility issues intersect with urban design, transportation, economic development, health, safety, and accessibility.

Have you ever attended a meeting of this board? If so, how many? 12 What duties of this board are most interesting to you? The two duties that interest me the most are (1) talking to members of the community to understand their needs and desires and (2) learning more deeply how policy is made and enacted.

James A Rosen
What activities of this board are least interesting to you? Part of the board's work is to establish their own by-laws and rules of procedure. I'm more interested in the learning and advocacy than the meta work of defining the operating processes.

What programs or projects would you like to see improved or implemented? From over twenty years of software engineering work, I know that it's important to let people try things and learn from both successes and failures. I would like to see more prototype bike and pedestrian corridors. I also want the public to have a more comprehensive understanding of the successes and failures of past efforts like the Main St pedestrian park that recently reopened to vehicle traffic.

How would you approach improving these project(s) or program(s)? I always approach engineering and policy problems holistically. Without listening to all stakeholders -- and actively recruiting their participation -- it's impossible for groups to come to sustainable long-term solutions. I use a variety of proven communication techniques from the Double Diamond to the Table Read to include all voices while keeping the group focused on the right stage of the problem and solution.

Are you involved in any organizations or activities that may result in a conflict of interest if you are appointed to this board? No
