In depth knowledge with regard to planning, scheduling, executing and instructing combat and continuation training flying operations. In depth background with regard to flight, weapons and ground safety. Describe your experience working with a Council- appointed board or commission I have been a member of the ToM Planning and Zoning Commission since March 2013 and have had the privilege of being elected as their Chairman approaching nine years. Over these past years I have had to opportunity to watch the Commission develop and mature into a group of professionals who are well versed in the issues, who listen to the applicant’s proposals and the peoples’ concerns, who facilitates compromise if possible, and then respectfully voices their position…and while there may be opposition to a particular Commission action, those parties in opposition know what each Commission’s rationale is and can hold us accountable. This has been my first and only experience in working as a team member in support of Town Council decisions and continues to be most rewarding. Describe a time when you had to stand firm and make a tough or unpopular decision I have had to guide/make tough decisions many times throughout my Air Force Career and while leading the ToM Planning and Zoning Commission. And while there have been many times when the Commission has made unpopular decisions on both sides of a proposal, the most difficult was approving (for a third time) a viable rezoning action that my neighborhood did not support. This zoning action required a super majority by the Town Council and did not pass on the first two attempts. The third rezoning action increased buffer areas thereby eliminating the requirement for a super majority, and hence the rezoning action was approved. While my neighbors were not happy that I voted for and disagreed they knew my rationale. If appointed by the Council you will be representing all of the Town of Marana in your decisions.

To allow controlled growth, that allows for maintaining the small town feel. Commercial growth i a necessity, but when allowed in a properly planned manner, it allows for the tax base to be increased, and provides retail services in the town so that residents do not need to go to another jurisdiction to spend their money, and the taxes stay within the town. What are some of the most important concerns or issues that you think the Town will have to face in the next 5 - 10 years? Controlled growth. Careful planning of the commercial areas along the interstate corridor will be a challenge to assure that small businesses are not negatively impacted but needed services are provided to the residents and visitors. What do you see as the Town's best asset to bring visitors and new residents to the Town? The small town feel and atmosphere is what provides charm and a welcome feel for visitors. That is something that needs to be preserved. Having the interstate in close proximity, makes for a conduit for visitors and travelers to stop and spend their money to increase our town's budget, and in turn our citizens. Please explain your professional background I spent 30+ years as a law enforcement officer in Washington State, and retired last year. I chose this area after some research and was fortunate to be hired by OVPD. I have a master's degree in communications and have extensive experience in marketing, Marana Town Council Committee for Planning Commission and Board of Adjustment Appointments June 6, 2023 Page 43 of 60 branding and crisis communications. I am a part time journalist with several articles published in a online national trade magazine. I also served as a volunteer firefighter for 23 years. Describe your experience working with a Council- appointed board or commission I have attended many board meetings from my previous residence, but have not previously served on any Council appointed boards. Describe a time when you had to stand firm and make a tough or unpopular decision I served as president for a large non profit charity that was governed by a board of directors. There were numerous occasions where my vote as president or decision had to be made that was best for the charity, and not necessarily what I agreed with. I also served as the Public Information Officer (PIO)for the State Patrol, and there were times I had to make decisions that were going to be very unpopular with segments of the public, but they had to be made, and I had no issues making them when they are the right decision to be made. If appointed by the Council you will be representing all of the Town of Marana in your decisions. Describe how you will maintain your objectivity in making decisions for locations other than your own residence. I reside in the Dove Mountain area of Marana, which is geographically removed from the main portion of the town. This does not mean that I would represent this area, it means I live in Marana. I firmly believe that all decisions should be evaluated with the information available, and decisions made based on what is best for the town, and all residents of Marana.

At the same time, we can embrace ideas that set the foundation for a secure livable future, especially when that involves not reinventing the wheel but instead accessing ideas that have been proven elsewhere, such as KB Homes’ savings of 30% water use with its commitment to Water Sense Certified technology in all new builds, or other towns’ enabling regulation of versatile “granny flats” to enhance affordability of homes and maintenance of extended family ties. These are just examples for further discussion or applicability to Marana. What are some of the most important concerns or issues that you think the Town will have to face in the next 5 - 10 years? 1. Increasing housing stock to maintain affordability without losing our small town atmosphere and natural desert, by expanding options beyond the usual large single family home. 2. Water conservation to maintain affordable clean water, and maintain this as a public utility rather than privatization. 3. Employment in Marana so we don’t become just another bedroom Marana Town Council Committee for Planning Commission and Board of Adjustment Appointments June 6, 2023 Page 51 of 60 suburb with a “sea of stucco” and long commutes. 4. Accessing our share of the billions available in the Infrastructure bill and the Inflation Reduction Act to earn Marana a reputation as a clean energy oasis. This could take the form of grants for training programs in clean tech jobs, town regulations to facilitate clean energy development, shade tree programs, alternative transit options, grants for local farmers to benefit from Dept. Of Agriculture programs, etc. 5. Traffic management, especially at clog points like Cortaro, Ina, Orange Grove using technology like better timed lights, and alternative transportation like Park N Ride lots, trolleys or neighborhood circulators, incentives to businesses to operate non traditional hours or company vans, more bike lanes and ride share. This will become ever more important as Marana’s population grows. What do you see as the Town's best asset to bring visitors and new residents to the Town? For both visitors and new residents, being able to visit our natural desert without driving for a hundred miles is our best asset. Being next to the Saguaro National Park, Ironwood National Monument, and enclosing a large portion of the Loop, as well as our own Tortolita Preserve and El Rio Preserve is a major draw for tourists, especially hikers, backpackers, bird watchers, photographers, bicyclists and so on. This draw for tourists can be further enhanced with new ideas like car charging stations in parking lots bringing tourists to local businesses. Please explain your professional background I am semi retired at this point, which has the advantage of allowing me to devote needed time to such an important position. I spent half my career in services (primarily case management and supervisory) for people with developmental disabilities, and the other half as an over the road truck driver and owner operator. See my resume for more details but this unusual combination has allowed me to develop a broad range of skills and experience. I also am passionate about lifelong learning in many varied areas. Describe your experience working with a Council- appointed board or commission Though not specifically with a Council appointed board, my work in disability services was based on a broad commitment to team process and consensus decision making. My process is to identify a problem or need, identify and evaluate various options and barriers to attend to that, select the best option, evaluate how well that is working or not working and repeat as needed. Describe a time when you had to stand firm and make a tough or unpopular decision My disability agency had wanted to leave a family with incorrect information about their daughter’s waiting list status, which could lead to her being ineligible for needed services in the future. In spite of much pressure and even verbal abuse, I insisted on giving them correct facts so they could make the best decision for their family. If appointed by the Council you will be representing all of the Town of Marana in your decisions. Describe how you will maintain your objectivity in making decisions for locations Because I am newer to Marana, I feel I can be more independent from vested interests. Because I have worked with a variety of people, from very low income to well off, and professional to blue collar, I am able to consider decisions from several points of view.

My vision for the Town of Marana is to continue the Town's work on creating a thriving, healthy Community with opportunities to live, work and thrive. I support creating a safe community for families to raise their children while creating a sense of place. I believe Marana has done a great job with creating a sense of place by including it's rich history in the Marana Heritage Park and Downtown Marana. I also believe that Marana has done their part in supporting economic development by creating jobs for the many families that call Marana home. I would like to serve on the Planning Commission to help with the vision for the Town and the many challenges in front of them, including issues with the Central Arizona Water supply concerns and quality of water. I would also like to volunteer my time and past experience in Planning & Development to help plan the future of the Town to create a better place. What are some of the most important concerns or issues that you think the Town will have to face in the next 5 - 10 years? 1. Water quality and supply 2. Paying for public Improvements as the Town grows at a rapid pace 3.

Marana also has many open space areas and park amenities for visitors to enjoy. The Town's best asset to bring new residents to Town is the Marana Unified School District, the growing economic development within Town limits, and the guarantee of living in safe neighborhoods Marana does not deal with the same issues as other areas like the City of Tucson. The City faces homelessness, drugs and crime making Marana a safer place to live. Please explain your professional background I am a professional urban planner. I have been involved in many projects throughout Southern Arizona from beginning to development completion. My favorite part of my job is problem solving and using my expertise to create a better Community. Describe your experience working with a Council- appointed board or commission Earlier this year I was appointed by Pima County Board of Supervisor, Sharon Bronson, to the Pima County Transportation Advisory Committee. The Committee was formed to make recommendations specifically related to transportation improvements, operation, and maintenance in the unincorporated area of Pima County and for transportation improvements, operation, and maintenance within incorporated cities and towns where County funds are being spent for these purposes. I really enjoy being part of a Committee that works together to make better decisions on pavement preservation. We listen to County staff recommendation and utilize our experience to give the public a voice. I believe our volunteer time will help make Pima County a safer place for it's residents. Describe a time when you had to stand firm and make a tough or unpopular decision Although on the opposite end of the dais at public hearing, i stood firm when making a decision to move forward on a higher density project. It is typical that neighbors, neighborhood associations don't support higher density projects in established neighborhoods. I took a project that was surrounded by development and protesting neighborhoods to fruition. This decision was difficult because the project was not supported by Council or neighborhood, but it was good planning. The project was a perfect place for density surrounded by multi modal opportunities. It was close to bus service, bicycle paths and the streetcar. The project created a more affordable place to live and made sense with the all existing utilizes available nearby. I should good planning for the future. If appointed by the Council you will be representing all of the Town of Marana in your decisions. Describe how you will maintain your objectivity in making decisions for locations other than your own residence. For my entire career, I have had to work with engineers, architects, developers and neighborhood association. I've always had to maintain my objectivity in making decision while taking into consideration the surrounding neighbors, the environmental community, and other political officials. I've learned that the project and issue brought in front of me will always require objectivity. I'm excited to be representing the Town and will recuse myself if any KB Home project is brought to hearing.
