Questions & Answers

1. Do you support the plans for development on Mission Blvd? Why? What would be a better option?

The Board has already voted to forward the frontage property plans for development on Mission Blvd to the City of Fremont. I am in support of leasing this frontage piece to provide ongoing stable fiscal support of the District for many years to come.

2. Do you support having Board Workshops taped using either audio or visual technologies so the public can be aware of workshop topics and discussions?

I support transparency in all aspects of the workings of the Board. We have had some wonderful and very informative workshops in the past and I know we will in the future. I believe our President is looking into feasible ways to make some type of recordings available at this time.

3. What measures can be taken to make all board decisions and their background material more transparent to the public?

The District does a pretty good job of posting most board documents, PowerPoint presentations, and videos on the main 'Board of Trustees' website before regularly scheduled board meetings; and these items are archived for public viewing on the same page by previous years. Sometimes a presentation is made at a board meeting that none of us have seen yet, and usually one of us will request that it be added to the website when possible.
