informed on the unique issues within each district, fostering a responsive and inclusive City Council that priori�zes the overall welfare of our community. 7. I will con�nue to work with Building Futures, finding out the needs of individuals and comple�ng need assessments. I would look at the exis�ng policies and adjus�ng them to serve our homeless popula�on. I would reach out to ci�es that have had success with addressing the homeless issue. 8. I would work with the San Leandro Community Police review board and with the POA of San Leandro. In collabora�on we would con�nue to move forward with recommenda�ons. 9. My vision for the city is centered around the development of the marina, building upon the work already ini�ated. I envision transforming it into a vibrant, mul�purpose area that incorporates restaurants and mixed-use housing. This development aims to atract a diverse range of people, fostering a sense of community and vitality in the area. Addi�onally, I am dedicated to fostering collabora�ve efforts among city leaders to effec�vely address crucial issues. This includes implemen�ng strategies to prevent crime, suppor�ng local small businesses, and ac�vely working towards reducing the homeless popula�on. Through these ini�a�ves, I aspire to create a city that thrives on inclusivity, economic growth, and a high quality of life for all residents. 10. I envision our city embracing a culinary transforma�on with the introduc�on of farm-to-table restaurants and hybrid coffee shops. These establishments would cater to diverse community needs, staying open to serve various demographics. My focus is on fostering businesses that are not only commited to providing excellent service but also dedicated to suppor�ng the local community. I believe that by encouraging businesses whose profits contribute to boos�ng the local economy, we can create a thriving and sustainable environment that benefits both residents and entrepreneurs. 11. Having faced cri�cism from cons�tuents and the media in the past, I've developed a successful approach to manage it effec�vely. I priori�ze not taking cri�cism personally, instead focusing on ac�ve listening and responding graciously. It's essen�al to consider the substance of the cri�cism, demonstra�ng humility when necessary, offering sincere apologies, and working towards construc�ve resolu�ons. While it's impossible to sa�sfy everyone, I firmly believe that the way we handle cri�cism speaks volumes about our commitment to transparent and accountable leadership. 12. As a City Council member, I'd make it easier for people to get involved. I want ci�zens to know how things work and that they have the right to bring up their concerns with the city. For instance, in a past mee�ng, many wanted to talk about issues in Gaza. If everyone knew the mee�ng rules beter, we might have sorted out the concerns and found a solu�on before the mee�ng even happened. I believe in making the city process clear and open so everyone can take part.
