Lake Elsinore Board,
Commission, or
Committee?
Yes
If yes, which ones, and
what dates did you
serve?
Public Safety Advisory Committee (2007-2011)
What skills or attributes
can you bring to the
City?
I bring more than 20 years of professional experience in local
government in Riverside and San Bernardino counties, including
10 years in City government. This makes me uniquely qualified to
easily transition into this short-term seat with little to no training
for this role. Additionally, I am a visionary, collaborative leader
with strong communication and public speaking skills who is
passionate about local government and the City of Lake Elsinore.
I have established relationships with stakeholders throughout
Riverside County and within the City of Lake Elsinore. Other
skills including strategic planning, local government policy and
program development, grant and legislative advocacy, and local
government budgeting.
Briefly describe your
current or last
occupation.
Currently, I own a boutique government consulting firm
specializing in strategic communication, public relations, and
public affairs, serving cities, special districts, and private sector
clients. Previously, I served as City Manager for the City of
Canyon Lake and Deputy City Manager for the City of Lake
Elsinore, where I worked in the City Manager's Office with the
City Council for nine years.
Describe your
involvement in
community activities,
volunteer and civic
organizations.
I have been an active member of the Lake Elsinore community
for nearly 20 years, participating in a wide range of non-profit
organizations, volunteer positions, and city events and activities.
Examples include serving as a board member and a current
member of the Lake Elsinore Women's Club, Chair of the
Downtown Merchants Association for many years, and on the
RTA Southwest T-Now. Equally important is that I am a proud
graduate of the Lake Elsinore Unified School District. Most
recently, I served on the citizen committee for the Yes on
Measure T campaign in November, and I am currently serving as
Chair of the Citizens' Oversight Committee for Measures T and
V.
How would you work
with other Council
I am recognized as a collaborative leader. Having worked in City
government for the last 10 years, I have seen firsthand the
Members to resolve
disagreements and
achieve consensus?
importance of civility, respect, and consensus among an elected
body. I would start by actively listening and considering all points
of view before sharing my perspective, in a respectful manner.
City Councils are powerful in that they bring together individuals
with different backgrounds for thoughtful discussions, allowing
them to arrive at the best solution for the City overall. As the
newest member for a short time, I believe it will be critically
important not to come in with any particular opinions and to work
closely with city staff and the City Council to best carry forward
policy and strategic decisions that impact the entire community,
not just a single district. This means taking a more proactive role,
when needed, but mostly following the lead of the existing
council members and respecting their long-standing experience
with the City.
What, in your
understanding, is a
conflict of interest, and
as a City Council
Member, how would
you respond if you
have a conflict of
interest on an issue
that comes before the
City Council?
A conflict interest is when someone will gain financially or in
other ways based on a vote, decision, or action of the City
Council. For example, if I voted favorably for a project that may in
some way be connected to my consulting business in which I am
earning compensation for a favorable result or initiating a park
project just down the street from my house. Initially, I would
intend in working closely with the City Attorney to identify any
existing conflicts of interest upon securing the seat and moving
forward I would consult with the City Attorney any time I may feel
their could be a conflict of interest related to my business or
home or nearby planned improvement. If so, I would disclose the
conflict of interest publicly and rightfully recuse myself from any
discussions or votes related to the potential conflict.
The City has a Code of
Ethics and Conduct for
Elected and Appointed
Officials, as well as
attendance
requirements that all
elected and appointed
members are required
to follow. Do you have
concerns in either of
these areas? If so,
please describe.
None. I am prepared to adhere to all requirements related to this
position.
As a candidate for the
City Council of the City
of Lake Elsinore, I
submit the following
statement on why I am
interested in serving as
a City Council Member.
Mayor Tisdale and Members of the City Council, I respectfully
request your consideration for appointment to the vacant seat
serving District 4. I have grown up in the City of Lake Elsinore
and have been a resident here for the last 36 years, this includes
living in District 4 for all of these years. In addition, I have
extensive experience working for the City of Lake Elsinore once
as a Public Safety Advisory Commissioner and, most recently, on
staff. In these roles, I have demonstrated my passion and
commitment to make Lake Elsinore a world-class city and to be a
part of fulfilling the City Council's vision to become the ultimate
lake destination where all can live, work, and play, build futures
and fulfill dreams. I believe in this vision and it would be an honor
to serve alongside each of you to do so. As a working mom,
raising four children in the City and with many family and friends
in the City and District 4, I seek to get back to the basics with an
emphasis on increasing awareness about the City, addressing
blight and infrastructure needs throughout the City, continuing
your progress on the lake's water quality, and seeking new and
innovative ways to instill community pride and connection
amongst our residents, staff, regional partners, and the Council. I
will strive to always put the community first. I am prepared to
serve professionally and faithfully as your partner in supporting
staff and reaching the City's ultimate potential while also
reminding our community why we are the City that DREAMS
EXTREME. It would be an honor to be considered and I look
forward to the opportunity to share more.
