September

2014
To: Mayor Jason
Burnett and
Members
of the
City Council
Subject: Reappointment to the Community Activities Cultural Commission
Dear Honorable Mayor
and
Honorable Members
of the
City Council:
I
wish to express
my
interest in continuing to
serve
on the Community Activities
and
Cultural Commission. I was appointed to the commission in March
of
2013 and
began my service in April
of
2013, as a replacement commissioner. In serving only
half a
term
it feels like I just
got
started understanding how -the commissions and
commissioners
work
together, with the City
and
with
the
community.
I was initially interested in the CACC,
when
I was on the
Ad
Hoc commit tee for the
"Carmel Outdoor Happening" - which eventually became the farmers market
The
market was
passed on to
the CACC and it
was
up and
running. Now
it seems
that
there
is another
Ad
Hoc commit tee
and
it will
be
passed
back
to the
CACC
again.
f
really want to have the chance to
be
involved and have a successful resolution for
the farmers market and our community. The City has also started to widen
the
CACC's scope
of
responsibility and I would like
the
opportunity to
expand
on
some
of
the commission's duties.
I truly
love
our
"village in
the
forest
by the
sea"
and want
to
ensure that it
remains
the special place it
was
and is: a great small city, a romantic city, a destination
fu
.
of restaurants,
a
great
beach;
very
dog friendiy, with art,
and
cul-ture, and
af
course
quirky.
I
am on the
board of the
Carmel Residents Association and
volunteer
for many
of the
events
that
are
held in
our
City each
year
. Many
of my
friends often
ask me
why
I
want to
be
on the
CRA
board
or
the
CACC and
my
reply
s always the
same: "be
the
change
that
you
want
to see". It's easy to
sit
back
and
complain
but
if
you really care and want to
make
a difference, get
up and
go
do
it. It's not easy
and
it
-
may be
a-long
time
before you make any headway,
but
if
it s
important to you,
it's
worth it.

Library Board of
Trustees applicat ion
Robert Irvine
I think
of
the
Harrison
Memorial
Library
as the
very
hub
of
Carmel-
by-
the- Sea.
Patron
visits a lone more than 100,00 per
y e a r s e e m to
bear t ha t
out.
One of
the
first th ings I
did
when
moving
here 30
years
ago was
to
obta in a library card. Since then
I ve
backed
the l ibrary financially, both
as a
Maybeck donor
and a
member
of
the Sterl ing
Circle
My wife and I also contribute
regularly to
the Carmel
Public
Library Foundation.
I
was
a member
of the
l ibrary s
Board of
Trustees from 1997
to
2011 During tha t t ime I missed
only
one meet ing due
to
surgery.
I
know the staff personally and
have accumulated a
great
deal
of insti tutional memory.
In
1991,
w h en
the l ibrary s
book
budget was
a t
an
all-time
low, I a r ranged for world-famous authors, including Clive
Cussler ,
to
at tend the Authors-by-the-Sea
lecture series,
which ra ised
more
than 10-thousand
dollars for books.
I ve
spen t
much of
my
life
involved in
art, l i terature,
and the
wri t ten word.
I
have
a
degree in Art
History
and
Anthropology
from
UC
Berkeley.
I ve been
a
newspaper reporter , radio news
producer, TV news
writer ,
producer ,
and
news director I ve
publ ished 21
novels and numerous
short stor ies.

Statement o nterest
Our family has deep roots in this community dating back more than fifty years, and we
have all long had a passion for libraries and history. Since moving here with my husband
and two small children nearly ten years ago, we have been the beneficiaries
of
Carmel s
amazing libraries. My kids, now ages 10 and 11, have grown up at the Park Branch
progressing from picture books such as The Very Hungry Caterpillar, through early stage
reading in the Magic Tree House series, and now on to young adult fiction such as
Redwall. We have listened to books on tapes, borrowed digital books, checked out
movies, and I have often found a quiet place to read in or write in the Main Branch.
Now, I believe it is my turn to give back by offering to service on the Board ofTrustees
and help guide this community treasure into the future.
Statement o Qualifications
Strong interest in the Carmel libraries and their future as indicated above.
Community parent with children that utilize the library.
Excellent written and verbal communication skills. My day job involves writing
articles, books, and legal briefs. I also have strong public speaking skills and have
given presentations around the country to groups that range from 10 to more than
1000 people.
Good organizational skills.
Ability and willingness to fundraise, and an understanding of budgets and business
operations. Through my work I have had to do all these things to support a small,
non-profit organization. I have done a little
of
everything from fundraising and
administering grants to balancing budgets and marketing.
Experience working with volunteer organizations. I have previously and continue to be
a part
of
other volunteer boards.
Ability to work with others on the Board, in city government, and in the community. I
am able to work through problems with people, and also recognize that sometimes
people just disagree. n my work on consumer credit issues, I have developed many
friendships with those that represent creditors on the other side. While we may
disagree as to substance on a particular issue, we all want to maintain the integrity
of
the system. As a result, we remain courteous and professional towards each other,
and even enjoy a meal together occasionally.

CARPER ESQ.
c/o Lori Frontella, MMC, Interim City Clerk
Re: Board & Commission Application
Dear
Mayor
Burnett:
(83 I) 23 8-1468
In light
of
the expiration of my term as a member of the Historic Resources Board and the
scheduled vacancy on the Planning Commission in October, my desire to serve the City and its citizens as
a planning commissioner, and my interest in continuing to serve as a member
of
the Hi storic Resources
Board, I have enclosed
my
Board & Commission Application for your review.
I am especially interested in serving the
City of
Carmel-by-the-Sea because I have lived in and
loved the
City
for 4 years. I am a civic-minded citizen: I ha
ve
greatly enjoyed serving as a member of
the Historic Resources Board for the last four years and want to give more
of
my time and energy and
expertise
in
service to
the
City. There is nowhere I would rather live than Carmel-by-the-Sea, and I want
to help make
our
little village an even better place for people to call home for
ge
nerations to come.
I am ideally suited for the position
of Planning Commissioner because I am a licensed attorney
and my legal training will enable me to help the Planning Commission give due consideration to relevant
laws during its deliberations. As a longtime resident and non-business owner, I will bring a unique
perspective to the Planning Commission that seeks to preserve and enhance Carmel-by-the-Sea as
primarily, essentially, and predominantly a residential City and that complements the personal and
professional perspectives
of
my fellow Commissioners.
I greatly enjoyed meeting you and Councilwoman Beach when I interviewed for the Planning
Commission vacancy back in June. I hope
we
can meet again to discu
ss
the possibility of my serving the
City
as
a Plruming Commissioner or , in the alternative, continuing as a Member of the Historic Resources
Board. As I said when we met in June, I am happy to serve the City in whatever capacity you
and
the
City Council think best.
Very respectfully,
Enclosed: Board Commission Application

Reason for Interest in the Position: I was born and raised in Carmel, and as such, have possessed a lifelong
interest in the character
of
the community and how it relates
to
planning. After being away for 15 years I moved
back this year in order to raise my children and serve in the community that I have loved and missed for so
long.
To
me, the planning and review function
of
the City is one
of
the most critical mechanisms for preserving
the unique and beautiful residential character
of
Carmel
for
generations to come.
Statement of Qualifications for Position: I am qualified for the Planning Commission for the following reasons:
1. Carmel is in my blood. I grew up here and the significance and uniqueness of this place is imprinted on me.
2. My experience working for the City Forestry department (summers of 1991 1992) conducting the City's
annual tree survey taught
me
the importance
of
a healthy forest
for
Carmel.
3.
My experience in developing
architecturally sensitive mixed use projects
for
Universities around the country gave me day to day experience
with the power that design and planning have on place-making in general. 4. I have 13 years' experience
reviewing and visualizing architectural plan sets. 5. I have a passion for how the interaction
of
Carmel's built
environment and the forest has made it one
of
the most beautiful and special places in the world. 6. I have
consistently demonstrated my care for the environment in my professional life through the businesses I have
owned and operated, which reflects the ethos
of
Carmel and the greater region.

Planning Commission Application
I am writing in regard to my application for the vacancy on the Planning Commission. I was born and raised in
Carmel, and as such, have possessed a lifelong interest in the character
of
our community and how it can be preserved for
the future.
After attending Carmel River School, Carmel Middle School and Carmel High School, I moved away to further
my
education, which included 8 years of undergraduate and graduate study. After my education I moved back to the area
in 1998 for a year and then moved to the Washington DC area in 1999. Last year I purchased a home on Dolores Street in
anticipation of moving back, which I did in June ofthis year. I have loved Carmel since my childhood and have missed it
for the last 5 years. And so I moved back in order to serve the community and raise my children in the unique place and
way that I was raised.
To
me, the planning and review function that is embodied in the Planning Commission's role is one of he most
critical mechanisms for preserving our unique and beautiful place for future generations. The following highlights capture
why I am qualified and would be an asset to both the Planning Commission and the City
of
Carmel-by-the-Sea:
For
two summers (1991, 1992) I worked for the Carmel-by-the-Sea Forestry department. It was there that I frrst
became aware
of
he vital role a healthy canopy plays in maintaining our distinct place. The primacy
of
the forest
is the cornerstone of Carmel 's aesthetic sensibility.
As an aide to a democratic Congressman in 1999 I was responsible for studying environment and housing policy
issues in the United States. While reading The Geography
ofNowhere
during my tenure there, I recognized that
growing up in the village in the forest had instilled a deep sense
of
place in me and I became passionate about
the way architecture, planning, design and place interact.
This passion led me to work
as
a consultant for the next four years following my stint on Capitol Hill, helping
universities develop thei r unique sense
of
place. Specifically I helped conceptualize, and in some cases develop,
more than 25 architecturally appropriate buildings, with a focus on mixed use development.
In
2005 I served as
my
own General Contractor for
my
first restaurant, an environmentally sensitive, organic,
grass-fed hamburger restaurant. Over the next 9 years I served
as
the President and CEO and developed over 40
restaurants.
One of
hose was one
of
the frrst LEED certified restaurants (in our restaurant category) in the United
States.
In 2007 I requested and was granted the right to
start the nation's frrst and largest all hybrid taxicab company
( enviroCAB) in Arlington VA. After demonstrating the feasibility
of
hybrid taxicabs (which was a controversial
and novel idea back in 2007) Arlington County began requiring its taxicab operators to use energy efficient
vehicles and enviroCAB/Arlington County became a model for similar jurisdictions around the country.
Thank you for the opportunity to apply to serve.
Sincerely,
