Snyder "' i Y E D 6500 Dublin Boulevard MAY 81984 Dublin, CA 94568 Dear Mayor Snyder: CITY OF DUBLIM I respectfully request appointment to Dublin's Park and Rec- reation Commission. After talking with Ms. Firth, I am con- vinced that I would be able to contribute' significantly to the development of community services. As a medical practitioner, my contribution to the Commission could .be directed to that aspect of a proposed program. Coup- led with my previous practice as the sole podiatrist at a major medical center sports medicine department and with pro- fessional teams, I would be able to use these experiences at Commission meetings. Since relocating to Dublin, I have attended city council and planning commission meetings and I have a good appreciation of community affairs. At present, a large percentage of my patients are senior adults. I am very familiar with their activity needs and I do get involved in some . of their rehabilitative programs. Prior to becoming a podiatrist, my position as a development engineer required the generation and implementation of new ideas. Thus, I feel that I have already demonstrated my abil- ity to present innovative programs and this should be an asset to the Commission. In my U.S. Army Reserve Civil Affairs unit, as a member of the Public Health team, I interact with members of other teams that deal with aspects of park and recreation programs. I am certain that I would be able to draw upon their expertise in the future . Consequently, I feel that my qualifications, as described above and in the enclosed resume , are both unique and diverse enough to enable me to contribute to the development of opti- mal leisure services for the city of Dublin. Thank you and I hope that you and the City Council will act favorably on my request. f ?MeyleDr. VC DR. VINCB. CACANINDIN-BIEYER VINCENT CACANINDIN, D. P.

Box 2340 - Dublin, CA 94568 Dear City Council Members: It has come to my attention that there is still an opportunity to express my interest in serving on the Dublin Recreation and Parks Commission. I would like to think that my background and education would be of specific benefit to this advisory group. I am a three year resident of Dublin and reside at 7233 Castle Drive. I am married and have two pre-school age daughters. Both my wife and I have been very active in children 's and adult recreation and education and look forward to our daughter's involvement in community recreation programs and the use of park facilities. More specifically my education and experience has been in the field of leisure service. I have a Bachelor of Science Degree in Recreation Administration from California State University at Hayward and have taught in the Leisure Services Departments of both San Jose State University and DeAnza College. , My professional career began in the Oakland Recreation Department in 1962 when I served as a Center Director, Youth Service Supervisor and Director of Special Programs for the Disabled. In 1969 I joined the San Leandro Recreation Department as a Senior Recreation Supervisor and later became Acting Assistant Director. My responsibilities included parks, playgrounds, camps, senior citizen, children and teen programs. In addition, I served as the staff secretary to three city commissions: Parks and Recreation, Shoreline and Golf and Historical and Cultural . In 1975 I served for one year as the Executive Director of the Cerebral Palsy Center for the Bay Area before joining the Lockheed Corporation as the director of one of the world's largest employee recreation programs. In this capacity I provided an interface with the 25,000 employees and corporate management.to create a million dollar self-supporting leisure program for employees and their families. In 1980 our program was recognized by the National Employee Services and Recreation Association as the best of its kind in North America. In 1982, after a brief stint as Training Manager at Lockheed, I joined Viacom Cable in Dublin, first as Director of Human Resources and then as Director of Administration. In April of this year I was selected to be the Vice President of Administration and Personnel for Alps Electric (.U.S.A. ) , Inc. in San Jose. I believe that my over twenty years of recreation and parks background coupled with my management experience would make me a viable and contributing member on my city' s Recreation and Park Commission. I appreciate your consideration of my interest. Please let me know if I can provide further information.

I believe my qualifications (which follow) would qualify me as an able volunteer in the above category. For the past 35 years I have been engaged in engineering in Oil development and in Parks and Landscaping. I was employed in the landscaping department of the State of Michigan; also as an engineer and as an engineering Chief of Party for the Robert H. Ray Co. of Houston, Texas and for the past 21 years I was employed by East Bay Regional Parks District as their Engineering Supervisor, in the Plans and Design Department. . I had a major role in helping to develop most of -the- Parks in the East Bay Regional Park District. Since my retirement last July., I have been serving as a consultant to the Plans and Design Dept. of East Bay Regional Parks District on a part-time basis. Further details of my experience are available If so required. I would greatly appreciate .your .giving the above your consideration. Thank you. Yours truly, /p NORMAN H. PITCHFORD
