The followingare my resF0nses b the firee questionsposedin the application; 1. I haveseruedon_arnariety of boardsand commissions, includingCalffomia Bond Allocation Committee, Chair of Oakland ctrarlei R*ui=* the llortgage Committee,State Chair of the NationalAssociationof Municipa Attomeys, foundingPresldentof MenittCornmunity capitalCorponation (non-iruniialr crectit 'Housing invesfirnentsin tow inmme housing) ariu the baktand Authority (pesendy). I haveenjoyedthesepositionsverymuch. When I serrreon a boardor cornmission,I see myselfas workingyvlthother membersb ensure that there is strongmanagement and that wJcollaborate effectivelytomalresoundpolirychoices. In my,professional life I har,ebeentegaladvisorto manygovemingboards.This has givenme a keen reEpectfur the importance of a erong staff/-boardworking relationship.consequendy,when I Eerueon a board,I knowthat I must relf uponadministrative and legatstaffto drawout the bestinformation - ratherthan to firing actas a lawyerandgovemingboardmemberat the sametime. My practiceof law involvespublicfinanceand corporatelaw bothof whichare relevantto the RetirementBoard. While I am noi the legal advisorto ACERA (the AlamedaCounty retiremerrtagency),I am familiar-withthe legal issues involvedin the County retirementsyetemand the fiduciaryrespons-ibilities of boat{ members. 2, I understandthe irnportanceof AC Transitto our region and I also understandhow importantthe retiremefitbenefitis in ensuringAC Transifs ability to resruit and retain high qualW employees. As a rnemberof the RetircmentBoard,my mainconcemwouldbe to ensrlrethe ongoingviabilityof the rctirementsystem in supportofACTransit'smission. 3. I recenttyretired from the Merritt CommunityCapitat Board of Directors after twelve]rears of seMce. This year I will retirefrom the OHA Board of Gornmissionenr after ten years of service(l am termed out, and $o am not eligiblefor r+appointmerrt). This relievesme of a considerableamount of commitnrents, and $o I nowhavetime availablefor the Retirernent Board. I feel that thg Board performsan importantresponsibilityand I r,rrouldbe pleasedto sewe if selected.
