of my positions I have been the public records coordinator - to coordinate with our staff to make sure
          that we have everything in time according with the Act. Have about 11 years of records management.

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

          I could talk a little bit about our switch over to electronic signatures. The Authority is very much about
          innovation and change. He is supportive of taking risks. I attended the City Clerk's association meeting.
          I became apart of the executive team here. I was thinking about the processes here, our chair rotates
          annually. We started implementing digital electronic signatures. I started looking over admin code. I
          did all this research on electronic signatures. I started looking at their website, and tried to decipher
          the difference between a digital and electronic signature. Based on the research I presented a staff
          report and presented it to our executive director. I got it implemented before the new chair came on
          from Richmond. I ended up going with a company that wasn't DocuSign because it was a third of the
          cost. Started doing the travel and expense reports to start out slowly. Started with private vendors, we
          are still having issues with some of the bigger agencies like CalTrans. From tehre it turned into our
          Director of Construction doing e-bidding - he was able to implement e-construction and e-bidding. It's
          been evolving ever since. That was one of the policy things that I did here and changed. I used our
          private agreements. Our Board was so excited about it they asked for me to do a tech series,
          presented the DocuSign, and presented this other company and had basically presented the
          technology and talked about what I had implemented. That was something that I implemented and
          did here.


        7. Please describe the roles in which you have had a relationship with a board of directors, and what
          your role was in those examples. Can you provide an example of when you have had to research a
          regulatory item and present your findings to the Board?

           I work with 27 elected officials currently. I just discussed the digital electronic signature. 1851 past
          last year that required elected officials to have sexual harassment prevention training. That was
          something I implemented here. For those who didn't have it, I contacted our HR consultant to offer
          the training. Another thing with the Board, I switched the agency over from filing electronically to
          netfiles, in the first year that we implemented it, we had about 90% of people file electronically out of
          150 filers. Another one, I took, after I came back from that annual conference, there was a section I
          took about switching minutes to action items. We came to the agreement talking with the executive
          members that I would take action as needed. I took back information that I got from the conference
          and presented the findings and the things that I got from the conference. I sent that to the Board as
          well and approved it.


        Communication, Collaboration, and Personnel Management

        8. This position will interact with managers throughout the organization as well as partner
          organizations and individuals in the community. How do you evaluate whether your department is
          providing a good level of customer service? What do you feel are some of the challenges to
          achieving a high level of customer service?


          I think you know, to provide good customer service, I have worked as a customer service rep with the
          City of Vallejo, I have developed a good understanding of customer service. What I try to do here, we
          don't have the customer service needs, like we had at the City. Just a clear understanding of what the
          roles are. Just clearly defining the roles and respoonsibilities so there is not finger pointing between
