My vision is growth in South San Francisco. There has been a lot of changes and I believe there is a large of underrepresented individuals that are unheard of. I lived here my
whole life and I feel like we don't have new housing and rent has skyrocketed. For a city that is 7 miles south of SF, we are losing the old feel of South City. I want to help
rebuild and help the growth of the city for the better.

Planning Commission - 1
*
I am a 3rd generation resident of South San Francisco, and I have lived here since 2008.
*
I’m an advocate for the marginalized voices in SSF; Black, brown, and working class, an advocate for the prioritization of empowerment and racial justice. I served as
Councilman Coleman’s treasurer.
*
I want to be a member of the Planning Commission because I believe in the power of government to improve lives. I have been vocal in city affairs for a few months now and
it's time for me to engage in the process. My biggest contribution will be my dedication to the inclusion of working class voices in the economic planning of SSF. Unfortunately
the status quo has benefited too few in our society and it is time to reassert the priorities of the people who struggle so hard for so little.
*
I am qualified for this appointment because I have a background in economics, government, and a strong professional work ethic. I have always been passionate about my
community and I am eager to engage in our community's most complicated issues: COVID-19 economic recovery, income inequality, and housing insecurity, etc. Public service
is my calling, and currently my full time-job at the US EPA. I will add value on Day 1 given by professional background, community engagement, and passion.
*
I have not attended any planning commission meetings before. The reason for this is that the past few meetings have been canceled with no explanation given to the public.
However, I have been engaged in planning related issues through my participation in city council meetings. There is little knowledge of this critical commission to the public,
which I would like to address as a Planning Commissioner. I pledge to work towards increased public participation for this important democratic body.

I am interested in applying a lens of environmental justice to development in South San Francisco. I plan to use my knowledge of environmental policy to push for effective
policy to prepare South San Francisco to deal with Climate Change and work to alleviate the negative externalities of our economic progress on historically marginalized
communities.
*
My vision for the growth of SSF is a city where all residents see the benefit of economic growth. There is no question that the economic, societal, and physical landscape of
SSF has changed rapidly over the past few decades, the issue is that not all South San Franciscans are seeing an equitable share of the region’s success. My vision is an
economically thriving SSF where working families receive their fair share and have a seat at the table in the economic future of this beautiful town.

Good evening Mayor and City Council,
I selected "Raise Hand" feature to be able to speak and then Hand feature was lowered on other end, and thus not
allowed to speak publicly before selection decisions before Council.
If I may please be advised of what I am doing wrong when attempting to speak at meetings.
Also, please enter comments below into record for tonight's item in discussion.
Thank you!
Respectfully,
Olga
Good evening Mayor and City Council,
If I may please ask for Council to consider communities facing barriers and challenges, when choosing a candidate
to fill these important positions, so that everyone has equal opportunities in education, housing, recreation, etc etc
A candidate spoke about Orange Park and going along the thoughts above, when I was a child I remember only
visiting Orange Park perhaps only once or twice because as a young child, it felt as if we were walking to the moon.
SamTrans is not a possibility for parents who cannot afford fares for themselves or children for doctor appointments
or schools, so this out of the question, and it's still an issue very present in Old Town. If you may keep the many
barriers when making decisions of appointment candidates, as mentioned above.
I'm here today to support Ms. Liliana Rivera, Mr. Eddy Holman and Mr. Luis de Paz.
I first met Ms. Rivera and Mr. Holman virtually last year and was truly amazed at their passionate advocacy for
social and racial issues and how this resonated with so many of us.
It was an immediate connection because of their advocacy for the most vulnerable, our children and
underrepresented communities.
I then met them at one of the food and school supplies distribution events they started, so their passion in helping
and advocacy definitely doesn’t stop at meetings.
Their applications confirms their passion in seeing the need for change, their deep knowledge about issues, through
their life and educational backgrounds. There’s no denial this combination is a huge asset for SSF.
I equally support, not favoring one over another, Luis de Paz.
I first met him when advocating for Old Town was a great help in distributing the ShapeSSF flyers. He was also a
guest speaker at one of our Latinx parent meetings and learned he’s worked with youth over the years.
He’s definitely a success story as an immigrant Spanish speaking, 1st generation Latino and this alone speaks
volumes, especially coming from Old Town. He is an affirmation of “si se puede.”
He can definitely be an asset to community’s voice.
All three have brought meaning and awareness to community issues -
Through a bright and promising light to social and racial inequalities that are long overdue in addressing them.
Through their backgrounds and continued advocacy, I am confident they will be able to work alongside Council and
peers in embracing every single individual, without excluding any one person in SSF.

By working with other community members, I’ve had the opportunity to work on mutual aid projects including school supply drives and weekly food distribution.

I am passionate about racial justice and I think the youth needs to be given more positive opportunities early in life. I believe that racism is not a niche topic, but something
that bleeds into every aspect of our lives. As a Latina woman, I would bring a perspective that needs to be heard. As a kid, I was lucky to have a family that would drive me
around the county to play soccer. It's not right that those opportunities were not available to me in my own town, and that needs to change.
*
I am qualified for this appointment because I am a product of South San Francisco, I've worked with kids, I've played sports my whole life, and I will not shy away from the
issues if it means a better outcome for the people in my community. I am not approaching this position as a stepping stone for my own personal gain, but to try to push for
change that will benefit people in my community that may not have the opportunity to give their input on these issues.

During my college career I was involved in after-school programs for elementary and middle school aged girls in under-resourced communities of color. I really enjoy working
with children and I think it is of the utmost importance for kids to have role models that they can relate to and feel comfortable with, whether it's in terms of cultural
background or being comfortable with speaking Spanish.
*
My vision for growth is for all the kids in underserved communities to be able to reach their full potential. I want to see the community strengthen so that it can guide the
youth and allow them the same opportunities that kids get in more affluent, white cities. I want to see people of my generation and the generation after to be able to achieve
stability and connection in our hometown and protect our communities against gentrification, incarceration, and displacement.

QUESTIONS
What community activities are you presently involved in, or have been in the past?
As commissioner, I have participated/will participate in the following activities:
Will be participating in the 90th annual Easter Egg Hunt and “Bunny Photo Hop” on March 27
Will be attending the California Parks and Recreation Society conference and expo from March 22 to
March 26
Will be restoring habitat as a Sign Hill Steward on March 20
Currently working with Joshua Richardson, Parks Manager, to develop a UC Master Gardener

Attended the Halloween Drive‐In Movie Night on October 23
Ran the SSF Thanksgiving Fun Run 5k, Brentwood Park to Malloy’s route, with three family members
Attended every regular commission meeting since appointment in Feb 2020
Why do you want to be a member of a Board or Commission? What do you feel you could contribute
to the Board or Commission?
As a commissioner, I can continue to represent the needs of my neighborhood and be an advocate for
our parks and recreational services. I can partner with the UC Master Gardeners of San Mateo and San
Francisco Counties and Mission Blue Nursery to develop a demonstration garden in Orange Memorial
Park. I am eager to contribute my home horticulture and pest management knowledge as a UC Master
Gardener and experience as a higher education professional to help develop gardening/sustainability
courses for the SSF Parks and Recreation Activity Guide. I can promote upcoming projects, such as the
Orange Memorial Park Stormwater Capture Project, and new developments, including the Civic Campus
Playground and SSF Caltrain station. Finally, I am deeply committed to supporting the fire remediation
and habitat restoration work on Sign Hill.
What qualifies you for this appointment?
I have directly benefited from South San Francisco parks and recreational services. My father taught me
to swim at Orange Memorial Pool. I landscaped the area around the Bocce Ball Courts in Orange
Memorial Park for my Eagle Scout project. I completed courses, from Food Preserving to Yoga, offered
through the SSF Parks and Recreation Activity Guide. My dog, Zeppo, and I love the Centennial Trail and
Dog Park.
My personal experiences over the past 25+ years as a resident of South San Francisco and insight into
local government as a Parks and Recreation Commissioner, and before that, as a Bicycle and Pedestrian
Advisory Committee member, has uniquely prepared me for a full Parks and Recreation Commissioner
term. Although I have not yet been able to meet other commissioners or work with staff in‐person due
to COVID‐19, I am an active commissioner and frequently work outside regular meetings with staff to
improve the quality our parks and recreational services.
