Which Council District do you live in? District 2 Current Occupation: Employer: . 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 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.
