I am very proud to be a part of a city that has so many things to offer and would feel ; :Ir w, ioaorect; o.;be an,acEive participant. in both the.ipreservation and controlled development of a city that remains one of the best in the country. I feel that it is important to have a diversified board comprised of individuals that can contribute from varied perspectives. I feel that my many years in dealing within the media, in addition to representing major corporations as a public relations and investor relations consultant, has given me multiple skills that could be of great value to this position. I am very familiar with the responsibilities and governing process involved with being associated with a board. For nearly six years I served on the Board of Directors for "American Women in Radio and Television" in addition to advising presidents and CEO's of many public companies in my daily role as their investor relations specialist. In my professional background, I have continuously exercised skills as an effective communicator, strategic planner, decision maker, visionary, negotiator, good listener, team player, and one that understands the needs of a company and its constituencies, I am a hard worker and have dealt with enormous levels of responsibility both in running my own company and having been associated with many high profile companies. Crisis communications and knowing how to deal with the public at large, has been a part of my job description for some time now. I am aware of the difficult position involved with the decisions made as a planning commissioner and feel equipped to handle such challenges. I have recently undertaken a great deal of research regarding the process involved in city planning for my own peisonal reasons and have found it to'be quite interesting. I am prepared to learn whatever is needed in order to serve in this position with integrity and would love to give of my talents to the city of Newport Beach. Thank you for your time and trust in considering me for this position. :^ .

PHILOSOPHIC VIEWPOINT• I have been interested in the betterment of my neighborhood and the City as a whole for the 26 years I have lived here - but especially since I retired 3 years ago. I believe that the Planning Commission could use a member with independent technical knowledge of planning issues and procedures - particularly if it loses Commissioner Adams to the City Council. I also believe that as wide a range of City geographic areas as possible should be represented on the Commission. I believe I have achieved credibility on the Environmental Quality Advisory Committee (EQAC); and would like to remain on EQAC as the Planning Commission's liason to it. I believe I would bring a balanced viewpoint to the Commission, as evidenced on one hand by my public opposition to last year's proposed amendments to the Traffic Phasing Ordinance (TPO) (which went too far, in my opinion); and, on the other hand, by my public support of the Four Seasons Hotel expansion and Dunes Resort Hotel, both of which were well - designed, spread their traffic impacts throughout the day, and represented major enhancements to the City's budget, due to their large Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) generation. (I have also publically supported the annexation of Newport Coast.) I think I can bring a well- reasoned and thoughtful attitude to a process that I am already familiar with, and I would welcome the opportunity to do so. BARRY D.
