What new information about your
qualifications would you like
Council to know?
I believe that my four years of service on the Planning Commission have improved my ability to serve as a Planning Commission as I now have the experience to more efficiently process through Planning Commission packets, know what
questions are best to ask, and what motions are most efficacious to achieve desired outcomes, as well as what limitations we have both as a subordinate body to the City Council and as subjects of state law.

Reasons you wish to be
reappointed.
I feel like I am doing a good job as Planning Commissioner and would like the opportunity to continue serving for another four-year term. Additionally, I had the opportunity to serve with the six previous Planning Commissioners (actually seven, if you want to count my Charter Review Committee work) and have attempted to integrate what I've learned from them into my approach to being a Planning Commissioner. I've gotten very comfortable making motions in Planning Commission meetings that reflect the broad consensus of the Commission and feel that this is a benefit to the Commission.
Any additional information
related to your reappointment?
I don't believe so -- my personal circumstances have not substantially changed since 2021 -- but am happy to respond to any questions the City Council may pose to me.
