Page 1 of 3 ITEM NO. 3.5 On April 15, 2014, the City Council approved the formation and composition of a Task Force to participate in the development of a Park Master Plan and directed Staff to advertise the openings.

I love Dublin and have been a resident since 1995. This is where my husband and I began our marriage, bought our first house, and brought three great kids into the world. When we leave Dublin to go on vacation, I enjoy my time away, but I enjoy coming home even more. There have been several times over the years that we've entertained the idea of moving to neighboring cities, and even Portland, OR once. But there was never a home or town that felt right. So in 2006, when our house was bursting at the seams with a 4 year -old and a set of 2 year -old twins, we remodeled and added 1100 square feet. This was a major investment in many things, including an investment in Dublin. We grew roots. I would enjoy the opportunity to serve on the Dublin Crossing Park Task Force because I am heavily invested in this community. I love that I live in a town with people from all over the world, people of different socio- economic levels, religions, and political viewpoints. Having grown up in Berkeley and Oakland, I value diversity. It would be a privilege to represent all of that in helping to shape a hub in Dublin. As a stay -at -home parent, I have had the privilege to work in all three classrooms for each of my kids, for every year of elementary school (currently 4th, 4th and 6th grades). I've been able to take on Executive Board positions including school publicity officer and Vice President during my kids' time in co -op preschool. Many have been the volunteer duties I've managed for Dublin Unified School district including Family Art Night, Classroom parent, and FAME, to name a few. Currently I manage Spirit Wear for Dublin Elementary for the second year in a row. My kids have participated in GATE program projects, Dublin Little League, Dublin Soccer, Girl Scouts and lots of classes and camps offered through The Guide. All of this has given me continued experience in working with administrators, teachers, school staff, and best of all, kids! Combining this experience with my previous corporate experience with Sun Microsystems and the State of California has taught me how to work with people. As a member of the task force, I would be comfortable sharing ideas and collaborating. Additionally, I've visited parks in London, England, parts of Australia, and Paris, France and have never forgotten their amazing features. Please explain how you currently use Dublin parks and what is your favorite park and why ?: Naming a favorite is just..... unfair. We use most of the parks in Dublin, and go to different ones based on how much time we have, the group we're with, our mood and activity level.

Please explain how you currently use Dublin parks and what is your favorite park and why ?: Emerald Glen is the most fun for them. They enjoy riding their bikes along the paths, but a dedicated bike trail would be great, to avoid pedestrians and pets. My girls will stop and get off their bikes when they see a dog coming. They enjoy the swings, but barely get a turn. Rock structure they enjoy the most. We frequent Positano Hills Park, as it's closer to our home.

My experience as an Architect (with Barry & Volkmann Architects in Danville) is directly applicable to the work of the Task Force. But maybe more important, my husband and I are fathers to a happy, beautiful 3 1/2 year old girl. Dublin's parks are central to our lives as a family. Dahlia, our daughter, knows them by name, even at 3 1/2. We plan to remain active Dublin residents as a family for many years to come, and for that reason I am especially interested in using my experience as an Architect and father to help shape our own community. The Dublin Crossing Park Task Force is a great opportunity to have that involvement. Please explain how you currently use Dublin parks and what is your favorite park and why ?: Our family lives around the corner from Mape Park in west Dublin. It is a pleasant 1 -block stroll that we have made countless times since our daughter was born. Dahlia attends the KinderCare that is just across the bridge (next to Anderson's Garden Center), and very often when we pick her up she is excited to run across the bridge and play at the park. When we want a longer walk from home, Dahlia and I will venture over to Dolan Park (where years ago I also played pick -up basketball games). She likes to pretend that the two play structures are our pirate ships. We also love Shannon Park, with all it has to offer, including Saturday morning soccer for Dahlia. We love the mix of active and passive activities there. During much of the year, we make a trip over to Emerald Glen, often combined with Farmer's Market. Sometimes we caravan there with our neighbors who also have young children. Last, I have to say that my favorite is Dublin Heritage Park, because of the many hours Dahlia and I have spent there. She LOVES the "kitchen ", and knows the barn inside and out. She still talks about when "Mr. Russell Kennedy" brought out the wagon and gave her a ride with her grandparents. Now she wants to play checkers at the tables. (Of course I also love the park because I'm a recognized Historical Architect, and so I appreciate the various structures and their restoration). When she's old enough, Dahlia wants to take the ceramics class inside the potting shed of the old Kolb House.

I am interested in serving on the task force for many reasons. One reason has to do with the fact that I have children, ages five and eight. This is as much their community as it is mine. Second, I grew up in the Tri- valley area. My wife and I chose Dublin as the place to start our family and we bought our first house here in Dublin. We have no plans of leaving the Dublin community and Dublin's overall development is important to us. Lastly, being part of a plan to develop parks for the children and residents of Dublin is an honor and a privilege and I would appreciate the opportunity to lend my voice, ideas, and assistance in shaping those efforts. Please explain how you currently use Dublin parks and what is your favorite park and why ?: I mostly use the Emerald Glen Park as opposed to the other parks in Dublin as it is close to my home. I've played basketball there with friends. I've used the Tennis courts for myself and for my children. The kids and I like to watch Cricket matches in the part from time to time. We also watch and have flown kites in the park. My daughter attends the Emerald Glen preschool as did my son when he was four to five years of age. The kids and I take walks in the park, ride our bikes, watch the fourth of July fireworks, occasionally stroll around the farmer's market on Thursdays, and showed up for a movie or two when they had movies in the park. We also enjoyed "A Day on the Glen" when it was being held. My son spent time at the Shannon park in west Dublin playing soccer when he was three. When I was young, I played soccer matches at the Dublin sports park across from what is now the civic center. When I worked at Mcdonalds in Dublin over twenty years ago, we would frequent other parks around Dublin after work to play Basketball. There's another park that I used to play Tennis at and attend parties over near Cranford Lane (I have friends that live there — forgot the name of it). Still, Emerald Glen is my favorite — perhaps because of the frequency of visits I pay to the park and my proximity to it. Please list any organizations you belong to ?: Not sure if these classify as organizations, but: * I am Director at Large for the Riva Homeowners Association in Dublin * I am President of the Tassajara Creek Maintenance Association in Dublin * I am the secretary of the PFC board, I also sit on the School Site Council, and Safety Committee at Dougherty Elementary in Dublin. * I belong to Costco!

Email Address: Explain why you are interested in serving on the Dublin Crossing Park Task Force ?: Like many of my neighbors in Dublin, I love getting out in nature to hike, ski, mountain bike, climb, paddle, etc. To make the most of these excursions, I need to live an active life at home and incorporate exercise into my daily routine. Doing so is not a simple task given my commute to work, responsibilities at home, and other community service activities. The size and location of this new Park makes it ideal for commuters like me and may be a real opportunity to draw people in from surrounding towns, especially those who drive to Dublin/Pleasanton to pick up BART. Please explain how you currently use Dublin parks and what is your favorite park and why ?: I like all the parks in Dublin for different reasons. Kolb Park is the park I use most since it is on the way to my daughter's school and closest to my home (excluding the dog park and Stagecoach Park). Kolb is a great use of space that provides a large grass area to play sports and have area for running and practicing skills that require open space. The play area has a place dedicated for smaller children and has equipment for larger children that incorporates climbing and swinging. The proximity of the bathrooms to the playground is critically important for my family. I have used the pavilion several times for family, school and church events -- making the park practical and useful for larger groups. When there with my kids, I am drawn to the track and exercise equipment and often find that I can use some of my time at the park getting exercise myself. I don't play tennis, but the courts at the park get a lot of use, from what I can tell, and make the park relevant for families with older children and adults. Emerald Glen is the largest park in Dublin, I believe. It is a great place for large -scale events and sports. Shannon Park may win the prize for best placement since it is next to my daughters preschool and the Shannon Center. Mape is an excellent neighborhood park. Smaller and tucked away allows for a more intimate feel. It has been the ideal spot for the Easter Egg Hunt my church has put on the Saturday before Easter each year. Stagecoach Park seems uni- dimensional -- meaning it is geared towards young children and has limited appeal to older kids and adults. However, it is a small space with limited additional potential uses. The dog park has been a great addition. I don't have a dog, but I see it being well used as I frequently drive by or walk the Dublin hills. I also hear from my neighbors that that park is a good addition. Complimenting the wonderful network of existing parks will be a fun and interesting challenge in designing a new large -scale park in Dublin.

Please explain how you currently use Dublin parks and what is your favorite park and why ?: Family picnics, camps and wanderings. Shannon Park is where my grandkids, and I spend most of our time. Sitting on the grass reading (or just being still), and signing up the grands for Nature Camps, spring breaks. Walking distance from my home is Heritage Park, love, love, love it. We have also celebrated birthdays at the Farmer's Market park. Kohl Park, while small, is a nice neighborhood park for meditative walks, or tennis matches.

Second, we often use the parks on the weekends to practice various sports with my son, including baseball, basketball, and tennis. We also often use the parks to meet up with friends for playdates and attending birthday parties. My son also has used the parks in the summer at various City Summer Camps. My favorite park is Emerald Glen Park because of all the diverse things to do there. We love the playgrounds, water features, cool sand box with hidden dinosaurs and climbing "mountain ", picnic pavilions, large open fields, places to fly kites, tennis and basketball courts, and nice wide "boulevards ".

When we travel anywhere, we will try and visit local parks if we have time. During good weather I am a very regular park user and typically frequent several different parks very frequently - Shannon, Kolb, and Emerald Glen. There are numerous issues at each park which would be good not to recreate at a brand new park -- block the wind, visibility, safety from the street, and maintainibility. As we frequent Numerous SF parks there is a very diverse and high use of parks there that is not seen in Dublin -- but would be great if a'great' park were available to bring even more Of Dublin together. Please explain how you currently use Dublin parks and what is your favorite park and why ?: As I have two children and a dog, our family spends a significant amount of time using parks and open space for recreation, play, attending events such as the farmers markets, and hiking.

It is a historical time, for our city, as we link the east and west sides of Dublin. I would like to be part of this exciting opportunity to be on the task force developing the master plan to design the future Dublin Crossing Community Park. I have a great interest in the future of Dublin and believe I can make a positive contribution to the efforts of this important task force over the coming year. Please explain how you currently use Dublin parks and what is your favorite park and why ?: As my children grew up we spent a lot of time at Shannon Park as well as Mape Park. These parks provided a place for our kids to be with friends and make new ones as well. As they grew it meant a place for soccer and T -ball practice. Shannon Park provided lots of paths for bike riding and skating, an interactive playground, mature trees to climb and a fun creek to explore. We also enjoyed a variety of enrichment classes over the years, at the Shannon Community Center, such as Critters and Clay, Irish Dance, Terrific Two's and Terrific Three's. I am enjoying our new parks and the array of community events they offer. The Farmers Market, at Emerald Glen, is a wonderful time for friends to mingle. I am also enjoying many of the events at our new Heritage Park. I am so proud of our city for it's positive growth and preserving our rich history!

In response to a need in our community we created an inter -faith committee to form the Tri- Valley Community Outreach Thanksgiving Dinner. This effort has received a great deal of support from the city of Dublin and the greater community. From this experience I learned about City Serve of the Tri- Valley. Seeing the impact they have made in our community, I decided to become a volunteer. My volunteer work has given me a good overview of our city and it's needs.

Previous to that I lived and grew up in San Ramon. I have lived in this valley all my life. I have a son who is now 22 years old who I raised here in Dublin. I have seen Dublin grow from a small town in the 1970's to what it is today. I want to serve on the Dublin Crossing Park Task Force because I feel I have a vested interest in helping shape the city where I live, my neighborhood and surrounding area. I don't want to sit back, wish for a better community and let other people do all the work — I want to help out! My way of helping would be to serve on this task force. I believe recreational parks are a very important part of a community because they are now to us what "town squares" were to communities a century or so ago. Town squares are where people would meet, socialize and have recreational activities. We still have main "town squares" for city (downtown area) but we need a smaller ones for our neighborhoods. We need places that are within walking distance to our homes where we can meet and socialize with our neighbors. When we get to know our neighbors then we care more about our neighborhoods which is vitally important. Please explain how you currently use Dublin parks and what is your favorite park and why ?: I attend the Farmer's Market at the Emerald Glen Park. This park is fantastic and very large! I really enjoy going to the Farmer's Market and also being able to walk around the park. I walk to the Dougherty Hills Dog Park. This is a great park because it's the only one (besides Wells Middle School) that is within walking distance of my house. Shannon Park is a hidden gem that I love to go to. It's easy to get to and has easy parking. I remember going to this park when I was very young! Every year I attend the St. Patrick's Day Festival which is right next to the Dublin Sports Grounds. The Dublin Sports Grounds is an important aspect of our city for our sports teams. All of these are really great parks but my absolute favorite is the Dublin Heritage Park & Museum. I love walking through the historic cemetery and looking all the pioneers who discovered this area. My favorite place is the old St. Raymond Church which is beautiful and historic. I love that this old church is available for rental. I think it is important for children (and adults) to discover the history and heritage of our city and area and they can at this park.

Please explain how you currently use Dublin parks and what is your favorite park and why ?: My children, ages 9 and 13, are heavily involved in sports and so our family utilizes many of the Dublin parks often. My favorite park is Fallon Park because it has top of the line soccer fields and the baseball fields. The basketball courts have been put to great use by communities and basketball leagues.
