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

I have always been interested in serving my community and particularly when it involves law enforcement and its interaction with the community. I spent more than 20 years as a newspaper reporter covering the criminal justice beat, which included everything from arrests made on the street to covering long court cases including some high-profile trials in Riverside.

I covered the criminal justice beat for the Press-enterprise for more than 20 years.

EDUCATIONAL BACKGROUND:

Attended San Diego state university and majored in journalism OCCUPATIONAL EXPERIENCE:

During my 20-plus years as a reporter I spent countless hours reviewing police reports, court documents and interviewed hundreds of people—both officers, defendants and others—and learned to see both sides of the criminal justice system.

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.
