Under existing California law, a member of a board or commission may not make, participate in making, or attempt to influence a governmental decision if it is reasonably foreseeable that the decision could have a material financial effect on that member, the member’s immediate family, or any of his or her financial interests. There is also a special category of conflicts of interest which strictly forbids members and/or their employers from having financial interests in city contracts.

Careful consideration should be given to this issue and applicants are encouraged to contact the City Clerk’s Office if they have any questions.

Interests & Experiences
WHY YOU WANT TO SERVE ON A CITY BOARD OR COMMISSION:

In brief, I love the city of Riverside. I moved here from Los Angeles to begin my graduate studies at UCR, and since then, I have acquired a strong sense of obligation to my community. I feel that the best way to serve my community is through my extensive philosophical training. As a philosopher, I am trained to critically analyze the rationale of argumentation. This skill would be useful to the Board of Ethics in adjudicating complaints concerning prohibited behaviors as specified in the Code of Ethics and Conduct.

My proficiency in hermeneutics would serve the purpose of providing reasonable interpretations of the Code of Ethics and Conduct. I am also trained to assess theories of ethics, this would be helpful when reviewing the efficacy of codes and conduct that are proposed to the City Council. I want to serve on the Board of Ethics to ensure that Riverside thrives not through unjust and illegal means, which hurts the city, especially people in underserved communities and marginalized communities, but rather through Codes and Conduct that are meant to prosper the city justly as a whole.

EXPERIENCE OR SPECIAL KNOWLEDGE PERTAINING TO AREA(S) OF INTEREST:

I have spent approximately 11 years studying philosophy, especially ethics. One of the important benefits I have derived from my
EDUCATIONAL BACKGROUND:
