State the nature and approximate date of the conviction, the sentence imposed, whether the sentence has been completed, and any other information you consider to be relevant Are you presently serving on a City board or commission? ❑ Yes XNo If so, which one? Why do you want to become a member of this particular board or commission? I have a professional and personal interest in preserving air quality in our community and state. The front range communities' air quality needs to be maintained. I'd like to serve my community, and this is an area where I have extensive applicable education and experience. Briefly explain what you believe are the three most important issues facing this board or commission, and how do you believe this board or commission should address each issue? 1) The Board must work with the transportation board to minimize traffic impacts on air quality, including development of alternative transportation. The community needs to recognize that emissions from traffic are a major contributor to air pollution in Ft Collins. and with that knowledge to support initiatives to improve transportation in the city, including the evaluation of the vehicle inspection program. Z) Climate change is a serious social issue, and the city is well recognized for its role in supporting renewable energy generation. The Board can provide guidance to the city on the implications of various activities on greenhouse gas emissions and on the effectiveness of those emissions on global climate. 3) The Board should provide advice to the city in terms of implementing regulations that are proposed or in place under the Colorado Air Pollution Control Commission. The commission often reviews changes in regulations and needs citizen input on many issues. The goal is to make the regulations effective but not require controls or limits that are costly but provide little air quality benefit. List any abilities, skills, certificates, specialized training, or interests you have which are applicable to this board or commission: have a Ph.D. in atmospheric science from Colorado State University, and am familiar with air quality dispersion modeling technical issues, measurements of ambient air quality, interpretation of air quality data and issues related to climate change. Please specify any activities which might create a serious conflict of interest if you should be appointed to this board or commission: There are none at the present time. The only possibility is that if one of my clients had an issue with an air permit at the state or with the city, I would recuse myself from providing guidance to the city on that issue. But there are none at this time, and none is expected in the near future. Have you attended a meeting of the board or commission you are applying to or talked to anyone currently on the board? XYes ❑ No Comments: The Board seems like an interesting group of people to work with. All applicants are strongly encouraged to attend a regularly scheduled meeting of the board or commission for which they are applying.

The most important problem is always seeking innovative solutions to reduce the debilitating polarization of differing viewpoints that too often exists. 2) The upcoming termination of emissions testing at the end of 2006 presents challenges. Some important questions are: 1) Will this have significant impacts on air quality? 2) If so, how do we innovatively combine solutions from the environmental, economic, and social components mentioned above? 3) Models are often used in addressing air quality issues. The underlying model processes and parameters need careful examination and understanding for reliably using these models. My advanced degrees and years of experience in programming, simulation modeling, and systems approach will allow me to contribute to a better understanding by the board of these models. List any abilities, skills, licenses, certificates, specialized training, or interests you have which are applicable to this board or commission: Ph.D. and 30+ years of scientific research experience in the areas of ecological and agricultural research. This involves extensive creation and use of computer simulation models. Have taught courses in biostatistics as well. Please specify any activities which might create a serious conflict of interest if you should be appointed to this board or commission: None Have you attended a meeting of the board or commission you are applying to or talked to anyone currently on the board? Yes, I've attended a meeting. All applicants are strongly encouraged to attend a regularly scheduled meeting of the board or commission for which they are applying.

Why do you want to become a member of this particular board or commission? I strongly believe in the preservation f the community's historic resources that preserving significant parts of the past is an integral part of a community's identity. Being on a City commission is also a way of giving back to the community I love Briefly explain what you believe are the three most important issues facing this board or commission, and how do you believe this board or commission should address each issue? 1) Preservation and protection of significant resources within the community. Following the country-wide destruction of historic resources during the Urban Renewal craze in the 1950s-60s, the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 provided communities across the Unied States with tools to preserve historic properties. A local commission is important as it gives a local voice to the preservation cause. Local residents know their community best and can be advocates for the built past and prevent historic resources from being lost. 2) Education of the public regarding historic resources in the community.ln addition to protecting significant resources the Landmark Preservation Commission can assist in educating the public about local resources and the importance and value of those resources. People tend to value the beautiful, elegant, and rare: but without education about the significance of the less-obvious resources, those resources can be lost. The LPC can be advocates for lesser known resources and through advocacy educate others about the community's history. 3) Act as a liason between the public and the preservation community and activities.Act as a liason for the community, guiding them through the process of preservation and assisting in the understanding of preservation law, technologies, and goals. Help the community understand their responsibilities in guarding resources for the future. Commission members should act as advocates for preservation but also work with the community to achieve the best results for all involved. List any abilities, skills, certificates, specialized training, or interests you have which are applicable to this board or commission: MS in Historic Preservation. Classes on preservation legal issues technologies planning architectural history, archival research, and preservation design. Participated &taught hands-on preservation workshops. Helped the Oregon State Parks develop a preservation workshop. Please specify any activities which might create a serious conflict of interest if you should be appointed to this board or commission: On occassion,the company I work for may be presenting projects to the LPC at which time I would recuse myself from commenting or voting on such projects. Have you attended a meeting of the board or commission you are applying to or talked to anyone currently on the board? XYes ❑ No Comments: I have known past board members andf also helped present the Old Town and Alleys project to the LPC All applicants are strongly encouraged to attend a regularly scheduled meeting of the board or commission for which they are applying.
