Please don't hesitate to call me should you have any questions. l<ind regards, Tammy~ 1 Date: June 11, 2024 From: James Revell, District 3 To: Carlsbad City Council Re: Parks & Recreation Commission appointment Hello, Mayor Blackburn, Council Member's Acosta, Bhat-Patel, Burkholder, and Luna. I hope this message finds you well. I am thrilled to share that Tammy McMinn has informed me of my selection as a finalist for Carlsbad's Parks & Recreation Commission. This opportunity is a significant honor, especially after not being selected for the Beach Preservation Commission previously. While our picturesque co·astline is a treasure, our city parks, aquatics programs, senior activities, trails, open spaces, and various classes and camps are equally vital to the growth, character, and community spirit of Carlsbad. Allow me to briefly highlight my background in parks advocacy and community engagement. My extensive experience includes collaboration within committees, volunteering for numerous group initiatives, and contributing to collective decision-making processes. I serve as a trustee at Notre Dame de Namur University, and a San Jose State University Alumni Board Member. I am an Advisor, Contributor, and Panelist at Martech Record , provide mentorship at MuckerLabs, and previously served as HOA President at Vista del Mar@ Muroya Association in Carlsbad. I also contributed to the Regional Council on Technology for the San Diego Workforce Partnership. I have served as an intern for Congresswoman Anna Eshoo and the City of San Jose. My tenure at Ticketmaster involved partnering with the City of Los Angeles Parks & Rec division, specifically working with their Senior Recreation Director. Additionally, My academic credentials include a BA in Political Science, an MPA in Human Resource Management, and an MBA in Marketing Management. Growing up in Saratoga, California, I was actively involved in community events, festivals, fundraisers, and various activities. My current routine includes weekly runs along the beach and in our parks, keeping me connected to the community I have called home for the past eleven years. I am deeply honored to be considered for this Commission, especially recognizing the appreciation from both former Mayor Hall, current Mayor Blackburn and Council Member Burkholder for my background and contributions. I am eager to collaborate with fellow Commission members, committed to active engagement, attentive listening, continuous learning, and sharing valuable insights. My goal is to work effectively with the Council, providing informed ideas and feedback to support sound decision-making in the best interests of Carlsbad and its residents. Thank you for considering my application. Although my responsibilities as a Trustee require me to travel during the June 11 Council meeting for my Commission appointment, I am genuinely excited about the opportunity to contribute my expertise and dedication to the Parks & Recreation Commission and the broader Carlsbad community.

I urge the City Council and Mayor Blackburn to grant more power to the Park & Rec-ers to give feedback regarding improvements that will elevate the Carlsbad Senior Center to the Age Friendly status that was granted the City of Carlsbad by the AARP designation as an age friendly senior center? Of course, that was back in the days of Jack Risley----who actually cared about seniors and doing the right thing for them in their last years! With the departure of Maggie Hammer and Mike Pacheco, maybe the Senior Center can again regain the honor of being a Senior Friendly Senior Center ----a center that does not have to Ban a senior for Nine MONTHS for walking aggressively while 'seated' at a cafeteria table listening to music while an employee was loudly talking and smiling and laughing with an age appropriate young man with no tools or belts to fix the broken dryer! Who is overseeing the training and motivating the staff to serve the senior community so that they can earn the respect and trust of the seniors? Isn't it time for the Council to ask/tell the City Manager Scott Chadwick to upgrade the Staff so that Seniors are not abused and banned by poorly trained and motivated Staff?
