I have been a member of the Art in Public Places Board since 2015 and would like to continue for a second term.

Yes No If yes, please share your experience: I am a current member of the APP Board List any abilities, skills, certificates, specialized training, or interests you have which are applicable to this board or commission: Retired educator, art instructor and a love of art and Fort Collins 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 most urgent issue facing this board is the Broadband taxation issue. We have had much discussion about the importance of continued funding for Art in Public Places and the proper funding of Broadband could allow the city of Fort Collins to acquire a signature art piece that really makes our city stand out. This funding will continue to improve the quality of public art and the acknowledgment that a healthy community includes public art. 2) The second most important issue is educating and engaging the community in Art in Public Places. Fort Collins has many wonderful attributes and the Art in Public Places program makes our city more viable, fun and sophisticated. The involvement of the community members happens in several ways; "all calls" for pianos, utility boxes, stone pavers and larger art pieces are ways for everyone to participate. Watching the creative process provides a dialogue between artists, community members, and government groups. 3) Art in Public Places is very important as our city continues to grow. It adds whimsy to new parks or sidewalks. It adds an element of surprise in alleyways or sides of buildings. It prevents graffiti. It educates the public on water, natural resources or government buildings. It causes people to talk about art, whether it is a beloved piece or something that makes you question the motive. It causes discussion and is important to maintain the high quality life in Fort Collins.

G Newspaper G Cable 14 G City News (Utility Bill Insert) G Website Other (please specify) As the city moves towards it's 2030 and 2050 goals for energy efficiency, emissions, etc. the adoption of and then local amendments to upcoming code revisions will be key in that effort along with many of the other efforts the city makes toward prioritizing energy efficiency. This board needs to both support those goals while also bringing the unique perspectives that it's members have to the conversation to ensure that all positions are looked at and voices heard. As the city limits become filled in with the final large plots of land being developed it will be key to keep our eyes on the remodeling contractors that will undoubtedly spring up more and more as home prices continue to rise making remodels more attractive than relocating. This board will be key in supporting the building department with their review of contractor licensing and maintaining the standards necessary to ensure that the residents of Fort Collins have that governmental agency to rely on. The city is headed towards a problem with affordability of housing in many ways. Any way that the BRB can support the city as they look to keep enough staff to support the growth and the citizens as they look to keep making Fort Collins such a great place to live will be key goals for the BRB. 11.6.18 APPLICATION FOR BOARD OR COMMISSION MEMBERSHIP ATTACHMENTS TO APPLICATION MUST BE LIMITED TO TWO PAGES INCOMPLETE APPLICATIONS WILL NOT BE CONSIDERED FOR APPOINTMENT If you have questions or need more information, contact: City Clerk's Office (300 LaPorte Avenue) at 970.416.2525 Zip: Board or Commission: Commission on Disability Name: Marilee Boylan Mailing Address: Residence: Home Phone: Work Phone: Zip: Cell Phone: No E-Mail Addres: Have you resided in the Fort Collins Growth Management Area for at least one year?

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) Acceptance Barriers: Education, compassion, and the willingness to help are essential factors in creating a mutual ground for providing resources and experiences to our disabled citizens. The Commission serves as a proactive resource that nurtures the relationships between our disabled community and other members of the community. 2) Feasibility: Although ADA law provides clear specifics on how to accommodate individuals with disabilities, not all institutions are aware of those parameters and are able to offer reasonable arrangements. It is the Commission's priority to promote the knowledge of and creative thinking needed to balance the ability of an institution to make reasonable accommodations and encourage the desire to go "above and beyond" to close the gap in understanding both regulation and an individual's unique need. 3) Communication: All members of the community should be offered an equal opportunity of experiences. These aspects can include day-to-day mobility, the equal utilization of resources, unhindered interpersonal interactions, and the enjoyment of entertainment. Individual accessibility should be approached in each situation with total understanding and transparent communication. Once accommodations have been appropriately assessed and carried out, the next step is to share these resources with the community, so all goods and services can be used by our disabled citizens.

Which Council District do you live in? District 1 Current Occupation: REALTOR Employer: Windermere Fort Collins Recent and/or relevant work experience (please include dates) I have been involved with theater and various visual arts for many years. I am an avid advocate for local arts/culture, from working on the task force for the initial applications for the DTFCCD, to serving as Vice-Chair of the CuRB for 2 years and Chair for last few months. Recent and/or relevant volunteer experience (please include dates) I am a continuous volunteer at several organizations; MOA Fort Collins, Downtown Fort Collins Creative District, I have worked on the FoCo Creates since it's beginning, I supported the SCFD initiative and volunteered with them. Are you currently serving on a City board or commission? Yes No If so, which one? Cultural Resources Board Why do you want to become a member of this particular board or commission? I have thoroughly enjoyed my time serving on the CuRB, this past term. I am currently the Chair of this board, and have worked hard to keep us on a stable footing moving forward. I really look forward to serving arts & culture in FTC again. 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 have been a member of the board for almost 4 years, serving as Vice-Chair for 2 years and Chair for the past several months. List any abilities, skills, certificates, specialized training, or interests you have which are applicable to this board or commission: I have been an avid arts & culture advocate for many years. I don't hold any degrees, but I have been part of fund raising, planning, grant writing and so on, for many organizations and events throughout Fort Collins. 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) Funding: There is a serious need for sustainable funding for local creative organizations. CuRB can help by giving some stability to these groups, helping ease the burden so they can offer higher quality events to the public. As an advisory board to City Council, we can also make suggestions related to how the city can help create and encourage sustainable funding sources for the arts. That is why we are currently working so diligently on the FoCo Creates plan. That was born from our board about 2 years ago. It is one of the things I am most proud of our board for, initiating that process 2) Promotion: The CuRB is charged by the City and in it's mission statement, to promote Fort Collins as a cultural destination. That is something I am serious about, and have worked vigilantly for on the CuRB for the past 4 years. I also think we can do better as a city and board to improve the public understanding of what we do. I have noticed that the board and the city, at times have difficulty defining what the CuRB does. That is a challenge we have mitigated on the board before, and I think may be facing currently. I'm happy to address this as chair. 3) Understanding: This dove-tails with promotion. I think anything we can do to increase the board's understanding of their role in the community, to help council to find clarity on our role and for the public to see the value in the work we do, only serves to help the city at large. We can always do more to increase understanding, and we have done a lot. I am very proud of the work we have done for our grantees, in encouraging and empowering them to create greater understanding in the community, of what they do, what they offer. Please specify any activities which might create a serious conflict of interest if you should be appointed to this board or commission: I don't have any serious conflicts of interest. I support local arts groups, but always abstain from scoring grants for organizations I also support financially, via donations.

Housing Catalyst must continue to address these issues, as it already is, by working on innovative partnerships with other non-profit and for-profit partners, supporting and enabling land banking initiatives, & engaging in local, state, and national policy conversation. 2) The second biggest issue that is unique to Housing Catalyst and to other housing authorities enabled under state statute is the administration of HUD programs, the lagging HUD administrative fee compensation, and the unpredictability of federal budgets. Housing Catalyst is working hard and creatively to address this issue in ways unmatched by local and national peers. Housing Catalyst has researched and executed leveraging of existing federal resources into tax credits to make for longterm sustainable affordable housing regardless of what happens in Washington or Denver. We are succeeding. 3) Lastly, the third biggest issue is the competitive marketplace for housing professionals who are familiar with the intricacy and complexity of a housing authority that also does tax credit development. Simply statement: Housing Catalyst's staffing needs are unique. We must remain competitive to retain and attract the best talent. Under current leadership, we have been able to retain some of the best talent in the country. With good planning, training, and board support, Fort Collins should be able to look forward to Housing Catalyst's leadership and excellent staffing for generations to come.

Address in part by partnering and (continued) educational outreach with employers and educators to build awareness at all levels (yes, it's still lacking), arm young people with knowledge, skills and confidence to combat it. 2) Social, physical, emotional, psychological well-being of growing population of senior citizens addressed by heightening community wide awareness of their presence and needs, facilitating development of opportunities for cross-age group connections and the resultant mutual aid & enrichment that comes from those connections, & education about ageism and its consequences to the community as a whole. 3) Systemic racism, white privilege and white fragility which permeate our society even though Ft. Collins at a glance seems free of racist *individuals* and is filled with good progressive people (like me!) who want equality for all. Address by finding ways to talk about race and systemic racism and deal with our discomfort without expecting people of color to serve us by educating us about it.

Landmark Preservation Commission Why do you want to become a member of this particular board or commission? I'm reapplying because I want to continue with the work we are doing. 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've been on the board since January 2014. List any abilities, skills, certificates, specialized training, or interests you have which are applicable to this board or commission: I'm a writer. I've already written a few posts for Forgotten Fort Collins that highlight the benefits of preservation. I've written 1 that highlighted some of the buildings that the LPC has recommended for landmarking. And I've helped get word out about projects that citizens might be interested in. Eligibility Requirements - 1 year residency within the Fort Collins Growth Management Area 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 issue: Fort Collins is growing by leaps and bounds. How do we do that well? How do we encourage sensitive infill that not only adds value to the land they're being built on, but for the surrounding community as well -- especially in our most historic areas? I think the design guidelines for the Old Town Historic District and the River District are already working well to do exactly this. I'd like to see similar guidelines, that reflect the specific characters of different parts of town, be developed to help guide future development. There are several mid-century areas that are reaching the age of interest in terms of preservation. I think there needs to be a focus on those areas next. 2) We have a lot of housing and commercial stock that's moving into the potentially eligible zone in terms of age. How do we make sure that owners have the information they need to make informed decisions about their properties and to take advantage of financial and design options that are available to them? We haven't really addressed this issue much in the past year in the LPC. I think we need to talk a bit more about education and what role the LPC should play in that, how it can be most effectively done, and what our message should be. We have talked a little about using social media to inform residents about what the LPC is doing, but we haven't moved forward on that. 3) It seems like some of the projects that the LPC has seen this year came to us only after getting a lot of other feedback from other departments, citizens, etc. I'd like to see the LPC be included at an earlier stage that has happened with a few of the projects that we've seen this year. I think that will go a long way towards creating discussions between developers and the LPC rather than creating a combative environment. We've talked as a commission a little bit about how to make this happen. I think additional conversation is required and perhaps a little bit more visibility (which could be created through the use of social media as mentioned above, or perhaps through some other means). Please specify any activities which might create a serious conflict of interest if you should be appointed to this board or commission: I've talked with the city's legal council regarding the interaction of my blogging and the LPC and he's outlined some parameters which I keep within.

I am passionate about protecting local history that provides a sense of place and uniqueness for a community. I have a background in preservation and my current position allows me the flexibility to serve on a board and give back to the 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: I spoke with various LPC members throughout my tenure with the City of Fort Collins during discussions regarding the Downtown and Historic Preservation Code updates process. List any abilities, skills, certificates, specialized training, or interests you have which are applicable to this board or commission: I meet the Secretary of the Interior's Historic Preservation Professional Qualification Standards through my education and subsequent work experience. I am personally interested in how and why structural failures occur with historic buildings and how to remedy them. I have completed comprehensive historic property surveys for both the National Park Service and 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) Fort Collins is facing heavy development pressures and continues to sprawl outward. I believe there is room to retain and respect the historic resources we have and to repurpose and or integrate high-quality new construction that create more unique places throughout the City that make Fort Collins a unique and desirable place to live. I think the LPC is uniquely situated to advocate for historic resources but also interface with the community's focus on sustainability, and the role repurposing buildings plays in sustainability. 2) I think this board is in a unique position to both protect existing resources as well as shaping how the City will continue to grow and develop as it has for over 100 years. I think I can bring a unique perspective by understanding historic preservation goals while also understanding constructibility realties. I think it is essential to embrace and explore creative uses for historic buildings, and I believe this board is well-positioned to help direct how the city is shaped. 3) I think the LPC is often viewed as stifling development and I think bringing in views from how preservation and new development have been successful in working together from other communities can help bridge some of the disconnect between the two camps. Please specify any activities which might create a serious conflict of interest if you should be appointed to this board or commission: I worked for the City of Fort Collins Planning department from June 2017-August 2018.

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) Quality Design that is accessible, safe, within a reasonable budget, and represents the character of Fort Collins and the neighborhood. 2) Public Involvement, workshops, presentations of final design, newsletters, and a range of public notification techniques for each project undertaken. Parks and open space is to reflect local input to gain local support (and be useful to the public). The public should see several design options for each project, be able to react and offer suggestions for each of the options and help the designers (city or contract) prepare a final design that suits their needs. 3) Solid technical designs that will turn out quality biddable plans.

Accessibility and affordability: As with all areas of Fort Collins, I believe that this board should address this issue within parks and recreation. Some ways this can occur are by guiding the impacted departments with the city to always keep cost and accessibility in mind when planning future development. My hope is that the board would guide all recommendations through an inclusive lense. 2) Growth: City Works 101 and the City Planning Academy showed me that Fort Collins will be in a population boom for the foreseeable future. With that boom of both young families and retirees, the city will need to keep an eye to the future when planning new parks and recreation spaces. As a recreation professional, I have been apart of several large scale recreation projects and planning and I think that I could offer guidance based on this work history. I think the board exists to provide guidance where necessary. 3) Diversity in age and thought: It seems that a lot of the involvement in the boards and commissions in Fort Collins comes from retirees or folks that are quite wealthy. My hope as someone in my 30's and very not wealthy is that the board considers all points of view when looking at the future of this great city and that we are assisting with the issues facing parks and recreation from all angles.

Recent and/or relevant volunteer experience (please include dates) I am an Adopt a Natural Area volunteer (Goose Hollow). 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 recently moved to Town North because it is walkable with good transportation. I now interact with our community and city infrastructure more intimately and have developed a desire to become more involved with how our city is developing.

List any abilities, skills, certificates, specialized training, or interests you have which are applicable to this board or commission: 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) Traffic congestion: I believe that the answer to easing this is to look at how, why and when people are traveling by car and come up with creative solutions to encourage people to more often opt for public transportation. 2) Bike lane safety: I strongly support adding infrastructure that protects bicycles riding in bike lanes with traffic. I have ridden on W. Laurel and have seen the positive affect of the additional protection given to the bike lane as it nears the intersection with College. I believe that the board should keep recommending greater protections like these as well as investigating what can be done about lanes that exist in the door-zone (e.g. Howes). 3) Speeding (cars): As a person who walks and bicycles on a daily basis, I regularly encounter drivers who drive faster than the speed limit. I believe in the power of infrastructure to influence driver behavior and I believe that the board should continue to look into and recommend traffic calming infrastructure for new and existing roads.

Yes No If so, which one? Why do you want to become a member of this particular board or commission? As a young Muslim woman who calls Fort Collins home, I've become passionate about empowering women and working towards equal opportunity across all demographics upon becoming more aware of the diverse experiences of the women in my 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 have considerable communication and problem solving skills. I have done some work in data analysis and research as well. I'm very interested in social justice and advocacy and aim to pursue that through my career. Right now, I'm specifically interested in learning more about social justice among the genders and the relationship between politics, gender, class/status, 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 issue single mothers face when working or continuing their education while raising their children is difficult in Fort Collins when the cost of living is rising exceptionally. Where funding is available, a limited number of women are able to receive support with childcare costs, housing, food, etc but we need to see more of that. This issue is intertwined with affordable housing, education, and domestic abuse and I feel women should be getting more representation in those areas. This can be addressed by building more awareness in the community and taking a seat at the appropriate table(s). 2) A chronic issue is under representation among people of color residing in Fort Collins. Inspired by the mission of Front Range Community College and GARE, I feel it would be important to reach out to local businesses and offer more community resources to foster better understanding and inclusion among different cultures/backgrounds. Muslim women especially tend to be quite misunderstood and, though I want to hear and address the needs of women of all races/religions, I'm particularly interested in working towards better incorporation of Muslim women's voices in the frameworks of women advocacy 3) Mental health is a known issue in Larimer county and can be distinctly harmful to individuals and the overall community. Women across all age groups, more so those in their early 20s, deal with disorders such as depression and anxiety. There are a lot of steps that can be taken to confront this issue. Offering workshops or monthly sessions open to the community to educate girls and young women on mental health awareness and establishing stronger systems of support for those seeking counseling is one idea. But promoting a culture that allows women to safely talk about mental health is crucial. Please specify any activities which might create a serious conflict of interest if you should be appointed to this board or commission: I believe compromise can always be made. 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.
