CM ~ACM _--ot:M (3)::::_ First, thank you for appointing me to the Traffic Safety Commission in 2018, serving has been an honor and privilege. Today I ask you to re -appoint me to the commission. I will be making a statement at today's meeting. The Traffic and Mobility Safety Commission (as it is now called) has changed during my tenure and these changes include some new commissioners, a new relationship with staff and the emergence of new forms of mobility we see every day in Carlsbad. My experience has been greatly enhanced by participating in these changes and I can apply this experience to a second term as commissioner. I believe the Commission is poised to deal with a number of important issues in the next few years (Safe Routes to School, etc.) and I believe I can strongly contribute to this effort.
