of the members of the Finance Staff alleging sexual harassment from the Mayor. That was an issue I
had to take up directly with the Town Attorney. Thankfully the attorney had 25 years and extensive
experience in sexual harassment investigations. They completed the investigations and addressed it
with the Mayor accordingly. That was really hard because I really liked the Mayor, but there was an
employee that had credible issues that needed to be addressed. And, Frankly, the result of all that
that there was an acknowledgement that there was behavior that had not been appropriate and
corrective action was taken.

4. Please describe your experience in coordinating, tracking and reporting out on the implementation
of organizational goals, objectives, policies and procedures.

I have a little bit of experience with Napa County in that I have participated in helped with the
strategic planning process translating. There was a lot of information online and things that have
been gathered. My role was to work with one of the groups from the Hispanic community and talk
about what their wants needs and desires that they would want pursued by the Board of
Supervisors. Worked with the county staff to make sure that information got presented to the Board.
That's just my job with Napa County. Before that with San Benito, there were several different
initiatives that the Administrative Officer decided to pursue, including a records retention and
management program. I led that effort, I worked with a firm to organize a week long process of
interviewing all of the department heads, and formulating a records retention program. The Board
adopted the program and that today is the current program used by San Benito.

Then the Board wanted the selection and deployment of a new records management system. We
went out and looked for opportunities to piggy back on. One of the opportunities was a state
contract with Laserfiche and Novis. We took that to the Board, negotiated a contract, it got
approved. I was responsible for the deployment of the system including all of the business processes,
the migration of our data from an old system. We implemented both systems after about a five and a
half month process. Previously there had not been a system available. The second part of that is that
we were creating agendas by hand - sometimes you have last-second items, which made that
process challenging. The new system, Novis, made that a whole lot easier. It provided an online
portal where people could login and create staff reports, we could compile it automatically and make
it available to the public.

5. Please describe your experience with electronic filing systems as it pertains to this position.

I worked with the County Auditor, Clerk Recorder in San Benito County. In Napa County as recently
as last week, the registrar of voters decided to go with Southtech. It makes the information available
to the public. You can duplicate that information, I'm pretty familiar with both systems and how they
work.

6. Please describe your experience in evaluating technology and operational procedure utilized in an
administrative department and your approach to implementing change, if needed.

In the resource management agency of San Benito County, we had a major problem, in that the
accounting system that was used by the Public Works Department was not interfaced with our ERP
system. It's really important that they interfaced because you get monies from CalTrans, and if you
don't have an interface you have to double enter everything, which means that errors are prone to
take place. One of the projects I had was working on an interface between the State system and our
ERP. I made it a point to do that because it was one of the most critical areas. The audit from the
