A Statement of Economic Interests is required. Any information listed on this application is a matter of public record and will be disclosed upon request.

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.

NOTICE REGARDING INCOMPATIBLE OFFICES
Under existing California law, no member of City boards or commissions may simultaneously hold two public offices that are incompatible. (California Government Code Section 1099) Offices are incompatible if one of the offices has supervisory, auditory or removal power over the other, if there would be any significant clash of duties or loyalties between the offices, or if public policy considerations make it improper for one person to hold both offices.

Do you currently hold a position as an appointed or elected member of a governmental board, commission, committee, or other body?

COMMUNITY POLICE REVIEW COMMISSION:

Have you ever been convicted of a felony or misdemeanor? CPRC applicants must undergo a limited background check by the Police Department prior to serving on the Commission due to the sensitivity and confidentiality of the materials you will review that have certain legal restrictions.

The background check consists of the following:

Completion of a Background Personal Information form; live scan fingerprint process through the FBI and Department of Justice, a local police records check, a records check of the National Crime Information Center (NCIC), and a DMV records check that includes vehicles registered to the applicant. The purpose of the DMV records check is due to liability issues since Commissioners occasionally drive their personal vehicles to public outreach events. The background check takes approximately two weeks to complete. - AIRPORT COMMISSION*

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.

To Whom It May Concern
Subject: Thomas H. Safford, P.E.

March 24, 2011
I have known Tom Safford for approximately 22 years with 17 of those years at Western Municipal Water District as co-employees. Prior to coming to Western I was a civil engineering consultant and interacted with Tom on development projects needing plan approval within Western's area.

While at Western Tom served in several roles. These ranged from Supervising Engineer, Principal Engineer/Safety Officer, and Project Manager of Special Assignments. Given his education, experience and work ethic, he was able to work on a vast variety of Issues. Examples Include development of Westem's Safety Program, assisting in the transition of Western taking over the water and sewer utilities of March Air Reserve Base, and many capital improvement projects such as pipelines, pumps and tanks.

In my opinion Tom's greatest strength is his cooperative nature and willingness to tackle new assignments. He has a very good nature about himself making it comfortable for co-workers, customers, developers and regulators to work well with him. His people skllls have been honed by years of work experience, service on a variety of Boards and Commissions, and active Involvement In industry associations. This skill set applied to projects is an asset. He also has the ability to listen and develop positions for decision-making which is a valuable resource to any organization.

Tom has always shown a high level of professionalism, Is dedicated to the organization he works for, and has a strong work ethic. In fact It was an odd day that Tom wasn't the first person at work each day.

You don't work at one organization for 27 years without adding value and being committed to what you do. Tom did both.

Tom has a vast amount of experience, excellent people skills, ablllty to make sound decisions, and can bring value to efforts he ts engaged with . He is a quick learner and from my experience with him, would expect that he would quickly become an asset.

Should you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at or at .

Best Regards,

Accompanying this letter is the renewal of application for service on the City of Riverside Planning Commission, Board of Public Utilities, or Airport Commission as requested in your letter of August 20, 2013. My preference would be for appointment to the Planning Commission but feel qualified to serve on any of the three named. I am interested in serving on thes e panels as a way of contributing to the future of Riverside as well as a return to a City that has served the Safford family very well for many years.

Please note that in addition to university degrees in management and engineering, I have lately retired after working for twenty-seven years as a senior staff engineer/project manager for Western Municipal Water District. I am also a military veteran and a former licensed private pilot . I have worked directly with many of the staff of the City of Riverside to include Mr. Todd Jorgenson, Water Operations Manger and Mr. Ken Gutierrez , former Director of Planning (and current interim Councilperson). Both of these individuals can attest to my professional experience and my working relations with the City of Riverside. More recently, I have worked with Mr. Paul Hamilton, Senior Plans Examiner of your Community Development Department in my role as an Elder and volunteer manager for an ADA Restroom installation project and City mandated Backflow Prevention Device Installations project for Magnolia Presbyterian Church in Riverside.
