I have no experience with government agencies on those types of things. I do recycle - I'm sure there
are individuals in that group that are well-versed. Currently - I am not very up on that part of the
business.

What experience do you have in supervising a diverse group of employees, mentoring and growing
them, and what employment issues and challenges have you faced in embracing diversity?

I definitely have experience managing people ­ honestly it has been very diverse ­ I've managed
females, males, different nationalities­ myself being an African American ­ and making sure we have
everything in place to be a team. The biggest issue is to have a DB ego ­ I've worked with all types and
have never had an issue with that type of thing ­ I doubt I would ever have any issues.

The DPW will manage seven divisions and a staff of over 700. What do you see as the challenges
and what is your experience in managing multiple divisions?

I've managed multiple divsions and departments. I have five people who work to me and their divisions -
we are at a max 50 people including consultants that we manage day-to-day - that 700 number is
probably just staff. I have managed different groups - as far as the challenge of managing that many
folks - you just have to have different people working with you to keep you up to speed - that's all it
comes down to. There's no way to manage by yourself - you have to have good staff and good hierarcy -
have a keen eye on things and check-in.

Anything else you would like to add? If out of area? Are you willing to relocate to the Bay Area
