No, I can make myself available and work around any conflicts with my job. 2.Which City Commission are you interested in serving? Planning 3.Why are you interested in being a Commissioner for the City of Diamond Bar? I moved to Diamond Bar in 1973 with my parents, except for college and 2 years afterward, my primary residence has always been Diamond Bar. I'd like to give back to the community more than what I do currently and by using my extensive local government knowledge as a City Planner, I can do that by being on a City Commission. Furthermore, my service on the GPAC inspires me to continue that work as a Planning Commissioner, forwarding those goals goals and policies contained in the document, consistent with Council direction through development in the community as well as longer range plans such as the Downtown Specific Plan. 4.What makes you uniquely qualified to serve on a City Commission? I believe that working for over 30+ years in local government as a City Planner for both a large city and a small city brings a unique perspective of both small and large local government. I also believe that my background and knowledge along with my service on the GPAC can compliment what the Planning Staff is working on/toward meeting State mandates as well as those goals and policies contained in the City's General Plan 5.What additional information would you like to share with the City Council about your qualifications for the City Commissioner position? I have watched Diamond Bar grow from a rather rural area in 1973 to the City it has become with a population of over 50,000 residents.
