Which Council District do you live in? District 2 Current Occupation: Program Manager Employer: AceInfo Solutions, Inc. Recent and/or relevant work experience (please include dates) Part of my job requires me to make decisions based on various information sources and sometimes external research. I thoroughly enjoy this part of my work. Recent and/or relevant volunteer experience (please include dates) I formerly volunteered with the Project Institute Mile Hi Chapter doing some analysis and technical writing based on my findings. Are you currently serving on a City board or commission? Yes No If so, which one? Why do you want to become a member of this particular board or commission? All interactions I have had in the past with FCPD have been professional, thorough, and respectful. This board seems like a way that I can give back to both FCPD and Fort Collins residents as I strive to become more active in our community. Have you attended a meeting of the board or commission you are applying to or talked to anyone currently on the board? Yes No If yes, please share your experience: List any abilities, skills, certificates, specialized training, or interests you have which are applicable to this board or commission: I am very enthusiastic about learning new things and this has helped my career in IT Program Management. I have quite a few management certificates, but basically what it boils down to is my love of learning. On a more personal level, I am very conscious of using a balance of empathy, logic, and objectivity when assessing a situation. I use mindfulness training ATTACHMENT 1 17.1 Packet Pg. 378 Attachment: Boards and Commissions Appointment Applications (7528 : BC appts AIS) 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) Assessing whether the current police policies and procedures remain relevant and appropriate as the city grows. It is possible that some of the laws and practices are antiquated if they have not changed with our changing city. This issue should be addressed by making sure to get input from the FCPD staff, looking at how other cities have handled similar growth, and possibly getting Fort Collins citizen input. 2) How the FCPD and the city itself are handling a higher homeless population. Addressing this issue correctly will take collaboration among quite a few departments and -- similar to the process above -- input and research from a broad spectrum of sources. 3) Ensuring that the training and well-being of the FCPD staff are appropriate with the growing and changing population of our city. A well-prepared and healthy police force will benefit the community on so many levels. To address this need, feedback should be solicited from the staff itself -- especially any transplants from other cities to see what has worked and not worked elsewhere. As you can tell from all of my answers, I think that communication and experience are valuable assets to solve problems. Please specify any activities which might create a serious conflict of interest if you should be appointed to this board or commission: None that I can think of. Have you ever been convicted of a crime (except for minor traffic offenses that resulted only in a fine)? Yes No If yes, please explain in complete detail. 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 Upon application for and acceptance of appointment, board and commission members demonstrate their intention and ability to attend meetings. If appointed, frequent nonattendance may result in termination of the appointment. By typing your name in the space provided, I submit my electronic signature and application to the City of Fort Collins and swear or affirm under penalty of perjury pursuant to the laws of the State of Colorado: -that I meet the eligibility requirements of the position sought and -that the information provided in this application is true and correct to the best of my knowledge.

Yes No If so, which one? Citizen Review Board Why do you want to become a member of this particular board or commission? I have a strong interest in public policy and previous experience in social services and law enforcement. The community, and our lawenforcement officers, are best served when policies and procedures are continually reviewed and improved upon. Have you attended a meeting of the board or commission you are applying to or talked to anyone currently on the board? Yes No If yes, please share your experience: I am the current Vice Chair for the Citizen Review Board List any abilities, skills, certificates, specialized training, or interests you have which are applicable to this board or commission: I was a State of GA Certified Police Officer.

I have worked with the elderly and mental health communities. 17.1 Packet Pg. 380 Attachment: Boards and Commissions Appointment Applications (7528 : BC appts AIS) 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) Ethics and Integrity. Law Enforcement officers are and should be held to a high standard regarding professional conduct. Faith in the ability and willingness to enforce the law equally to every member of the community must be maintained. Law Enforcement officials who act outside of the law or enforce the law unequally undermine the faith of the community and hamper the publics willingness to actively participate in the law enforcement process. 2) Use of Force. Very few professions have the ability to cause serious bodily injury or death while in the performance of their duties. Split second decisions on the use of force are an everyday part ofthe job. Review of use of force instances is necessary to ensure the policies and procedures were followed properly. Review is also needed to provide continual feedback on the use of force policy and procedures themselves and identify where improvements should be made. 3) Training. Law Enforcement training should be in a state of continual improvement. Training to a static standard that does not evolve soon becomes outdated. Review of incidents is crucial to not only identity if proper policies and procedures were followed but to also identify if the training was adequate toapply the policies and procedures correctly. Please specify any activities which might create a serious conflict of interest if you should be appointed to this board or commission: Have you ever been convicted of a crime (except for minor traffic offenses that resulted only in a fine)? Yes No If yes, please explain in complete detail.

Are you currently serving on a City board or commission? Yes No If so, which one? Why do you want to become a member of this particular board or commission? I want to join this to help ensure the faith and confidence the community has towards the FCPD. A board like this stands to benefit from having persons from varied backgrounds, and I know I would bring fresh perspective on police matters. Have you attended a meeting of the board or commission you are applying to or talked to anyone currently on the board? Yes No If yes, please share your experience: List any abilities, skills, certificates, specialized training, or interests you have which are applicable to this board or commission: I have been trained as a scientist, and as such I've been trained on ways to mitigate personal feelings and analyze situations with ultimate regard to integrity of evidence. 17.1 Packet Pg. 382 Attachment: Boards and Commissions Appointment Applications (7528 : BC appts AIS) 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) Analytical Accuracy. A significant issue plaguing investigations on police violence and excessive use of force is the difficulty to retroactively analyze the alleged situation. The board should recommend to the FCPD to continue using body cameras for all active duty officers, and also to change the way reports are gathered from the officers and victims. Official reports should be collected at least twice; once immediately following the incident, then twice by a third party, such as this Board. Additionally, questions should be phrased to ask "what went wrong?" instead of "what happened?". 2) Public Confidence and Transparency. With increasing coverage of police brutality crimes, the public's waning confidence in police departments is becoming apparent. This is contrasted with a growing body of vocal devoted supporters of police departments. The Board should not only promote transparency for internal investigations, but should make It's evidence and deliberations public. Demonstrating the Board's logic and analysis will help drown out the politicized groups and present clarity to the public when such investigations are underway. 3) Bias. The ability for someone to critique a situation, especially post-hoc, is marred by personal bias. This poses an incredible challenge in accurately and objectively analyzing excessive force investigations. The Board must diversify if it hasn't already, and maintain diversity by selecting members with varying backgrounds, training, and history. A diversified Board will ensure that individuals' biases are not compounded by having members that are of the same background and experience. This will improve Analytical Accuracy and Public Confidence in the FCPD. Please specify any activities which might create a serious conflict of interest if you should be appointed to this board or commission: I cannot think of any activities which might create a serious conflict of interest, as I am not a member of any political groups which focus on issues of police brutality or excessive force. I additionally do not belong to any religious or community groups, or businesses, that promote a certain viewpoint Have you ever been convicted of a crime (except for minor traffic offenses that resulted only in a fine)? Yes No If yes, please explain in complete detail. 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 Upon application for and acceptance of appointment, board and commission members demonstrate their intention and ability to attend meetings. If appointed, frequent nonattendance may result in termination of the appointment.

I will need to learn as I go. Recent and/or relevant volunteer experience (please include dates) Are you currently serving on a City board or commission? Yes No If so, which one? Why do you want to become a member of this particular board or commission? I have a GERP account and I understand that the board needs at least one new member to help guide the policies and guidelines involving GERP. I am not a financial expert but I am willing to learn and participate as needed. Have you attended a meeting of the board or commission you are applying to or talked to anyone currently on the board? Yes No If yes, please share your experience: List any abilities, skills, certificates, specialized training, or interests you have which are applicable to this board or commission: 31 years of working for the City and helping manage the budget. 17.1 Packet Pg. 384 Attachment: Boards and Commissions Appointment Applications (7528 : BC appts AIS) 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) 1) Ensuring that GERP remains viable and available to each of us that are enrolled in the program. Address this by working with finance staff and City Counsel. 2) 2) I think it is important to get a retired employee to join the committee so that that group is represented. Address this by actively pursuing a few retired individuals. 3) I admittedly do not know enough to list a third potential issue, but I am willing to learn. Perhaps a third issue is to keep each member of GERP more informed of what is happening on this committee?

That it was quite well attended would seem to indicate that workshops, or other similar non-confrontational opportunities for dialog, would be well received and possibly quite effective at increasing community awareness of these complex issues. A similar and very powerful event occurred at the Senior center in May 2017, titled "Beyond Partisan Politics: Bridging Divides through Authentic Engagement & Storytelling". 2) I don't claim any particular expertise, but I support the need for similar educational efforts to address prejudice involving any and all of the various personal characteristics listed in the Duties paragraph. Of particular concern based on recently publicized events, I would list immigration status, ethnicity and religious identity, although Fort Collins may be ahead of the curve on these issues. In any event, the 3) As far as how the commission should address these issues, above and beyond the need for education and dialog, I doubt that anyone has the complete answer yet, but that progress can occur when concerned members of the Community participate in humble, respectful brainstorming and consultation.

I am thankful to be part of a community that values incorporating different perspectives into group conversations to make meaningful change and long lasting awareness of all walks of life.

The avenues of communication between these two groups can be burdened with false assumptions and prejudice from both sides. Finding ambassadors within each community that can bring forth the concerns of each group can influence the way they communicate and problem solve in an effort to establish common ground. 2) Minority Representation:I believe a large part of our minority groups go under represented and unheard in community discussions and everyday life due to fear arisen from our current political climate. Bringing their voice forward and empowering them to be proud of the city they call home will relief some of the anxiety that accompanies being considered "other". 3) Mental Health Awareness:Those with mental wellness concerns are often outcast and avoid assistance that is specifically available to them. Organizing efforts to actively publicize the program targeted towards individuals like these can prevent these illness' from leading to homelessness, violence, and suicide.

Researching other communities that have the same issues with a strong community of financially well off versus those who work hard and still can't make ends meet. 2) Reaching out to transgender and queer youth who are at a higher risk of self harm. Partnering with the Poudre School District to come up with programs and outreach so people know they are cared about and also access to health care. 3) Making our community a welcome place for people who are undocumented.

The wisdom, collaboration and protection of women in todays society is vital to a successful city and country.

The thorough upbringing and development of our youth is integral to the future of our city. As a woman that has lived in Fort Collins since age 12, I have felt the pressures of fitting into a certain stereotype. We need to understand that by educating and empowering young woman, we are investing in our future- whether that be tomorrow or 20 years from now. I would propose a thorough review of available educational programs for young women. We could partner with school boards and the youth commission for mutually beneficial projects. 2) Women in business: The Powerhouse that is professional women. Working my way from the ground up in two professions has taught me resilience in the workplace. Powerful women are often seen as "bossy". When do you hear of a man being referred to as "bossy"? The perception that meekness is expected from women in the workplace. We must empower women in business to face challenges in the workplace with gusto and resilience. I would suggest showcasing female leaders in our city and asking them to tell their stories. There is power in our stories. We could host a lecture series, or podcast series. 3) Collaboration is key. I believe this is true for so many issues in today's society. I would suggest hosting an open forum for women of all ages, races and sexual identities to share with us what they find to be relevant issues facing women in Fort Collins today. I cannot claim to know what all women are going through. But I am inspired by who they are and the stories that have created them. An open forum would allow this commission a true insight into the mind of our fellow female citizens so we can work on the issues that are important not only to us- but to them.

We must find creative ways to educate people on exactly how expensive long-term care facilities are and how much worse it will get as baby boomers live longer due to healthcare advances. Getting a discussion going on alternatives to traditional nursing homes is where I would start. 2) I think helping seniors who are poor and alone to understand retirement benefits and manage doctor's visits/prescriptions is number two. A start could be to get some information available on a youtube channel, then provide in-person demonstrations, perhaps monthly at the senior center and libraries, to show folks how to access this information. I would borrow from the wealth of information out there from Kaiser and AARP but tailor it to our local community. 3) I think keeping seniors free of elder abuse and maintaining their autonomy/independence as much as possible should be number three. I would suggest something like a mentor/mentee program where people could volunteer to watch out for people, say ten years younger than them. If a senior can be dependent on another senior for something like a ride around town, it is more dignified and puts them less at risk than being stuck with a resentful child or underpaid nurse assistant at the nursing home.

Ideally, working towards electric/solar powered bus or train system. We have the perfect grid to place a stop every .5 miles--ensuring the most anyone has to walk to a station would be .25 miles. I would love more routes, stops and times added to this. For pedestrians, having all-way pedestrian crossing can decrease pedestrian-vehicle accidents. 2) Creating a larger bike culture, and restricting traffic in Fort Collins would be a great place to start. I love how cities like Amsterdam, Copenhagen and Barcelona, have created a more interactive and community-based city by utilizing bike culture. Barcelona has blocked access to traffic (emergency vehicles excluded) which could create more "citizen spaces" for community and less traffic. Foco residents currently don't have the option to either take public transportation or may have safety concerns regarding biking. Addressing both these could create less pollution and reduce traffic. 3) Access to Denver (dreaming big!): I think it would be amazing to begin partnerships with the entire Front Range to start dreaming bigger for how we could implement effective and environmentally-healthy options for commuters. The Bustang is a great start but working towards a greater move to find options to Denver, Boulder, and potentially mountain access (1-70).
