The name of the incumbent appointee, the date of appointment and the term expiration date is also included on the list. Based on the prepared list, the City Clerk’s Office accepts applications (available on the city’s website and in the City Clerk’s Office) for any upcoming vacancies. The Carlsbad Municipal Code states that the Parks & Recreation Commission shall consist of seven members who are subject to ratification by a majority vote of the City Council. The current members of the Parks & Recreation Commission are: Member District Amy Allemann 3 Matt Simons 3 Brad Thorp 3 Members of the Parks & Recreation Commission are subject to the provisions of the Political Reform Act and must file statements of economic interest. Fiscal Analysis None. Next Steps Following the appointment of three members to the Parks & Recreation Commission, the City Clerk’s office will update the commission roster and coordinate their oaths of office and the filing of their statements of economic interest and ethics training certificates. Environmental Evaluation (CEQA) This action does not constitute a “project” within the meaning of the California Environmental Quality Act under California Public Resources Code Section 21065 in that it has no potential to cause either a direct physical change in the environment or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment and therefore does not require environmental review.

I unfortunately had something unexpected arise that requires my immediate attention and will not be able to make my comments during the meeting. It is my great desire to continue serving our amazing City as a Parks and Recreation Commissioner. As you know, I have just completed my first full four year term. I have served as the Vice Chairwoman for the last two years of my term. I am very committed and active within our community, attending several of our Parks and Recs events, openings, and monthly activities. Making myself always available to my fellow residents and a consummate ambassador for our City. I embrace my responsibility as a role model within our community and am dedicated to continuing to serve in a positive manner. I have been a founder/member of, motivational speaker to, and active participant in several advocacy groups, mentorship programs, and veteran/non-profit organizations across the United States. For the past 18 years I have been a motivational speaker at several southern California elementary schools, high schools and colleges, leveraging my military experience and aviation career to motivate young women and teach the importance of Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) skills. I speak professionally to organizations and large corporations on topics ranging from adversity, diversity and inclusion, the power of a mission, leading high-performance teams and affecting change. My 25 plus years of military service has afforded me the opportunity to travel to over 80 countries; this international and diplomatic experience with multiple agencies has taught me the importance of knowing the "customer's" needs and culture to better communicate and reach a common goal. , It is my hope to continue to contribute to the success of the City of Carlsbad Parks and Recreation Department. It is my belief that the culmination of my previous experience serving the City coupled with my military and community service has positioned me to be an invaluable asset to the TEAM. Thank you for your time and consideration. Very respectfully, Jengi A.
