I have hiked Westwood Hills Park several times per week for the last eight (8) years and it has becomevery dear to me as a place to go for peace, the incredible views, opportunities to meet others, and toenvision an improved park that will serve as a template for park restoration throughout the nation.
Kevin Hansen Page 2 of 3
ATTACHMENT 1
How would you approach improving these project(s) or program(s)?
During my hikes in the Westwood Hill Park, I have informally interviewed many people on the trail to askwhat they would like to see improved. I note that there has been some recent removal of non-nativespecies (e.g. broom), but the removal of those species and the management of the park ecosystem ismuch larger than the efforts expended to date. It is essential that a comprehensive approach bedeveloped using a coordinated effort with community organizations and professional individuals (pro bonoconsulting) to support the management of the park forest and meadows. While I am clear that the P&RDepartment has limited funds to accomplish these goals, this community has the willingness and capacityto make the park a showcase of sustainable management. The approach will require development of ateam of community stakeholders as collaborative partners. I would like to be a part of the restoration ofthis park, in particular but to include other locations, to supplement the efforts of the Parks and RecreationDepartment. My professional work of thirty-five (35) years has required the management of projects andteam building to accomplish stated goals. I see this commission position as an opportunity to offer mycontributions to a community I have come to call home.

Have you ever attended a meeting of this board? If so, how many?
Currently I am finishing up my third term on the Senior Advisory Commission. And with great joy I feel ithas been one of the most enriching and best experiences I( have encountered in my life. I always havehad a passion for seniors starting with my grandparents. I had the privilege of caring for my parentsthrough their elder years and through some devastating illnesses. Being on the commissiion hasdefinately cemented the passion I have for this revered group of our wonderful community.
What duties of this board are most interesting to you?
The most important duty of this board, to me, is being a strong advocate for seniors of our beautiful city.Most importantly advocating for those that are alone and helping them live safely and wisely!
What activities of this board are least interesting to you?
Quite frankly, all aspects of this board are an integral part of creating a needed forum to discuss andimplement needs, issues and well-being of our seniors who are respected monuments of our past thathelped forge and shape our future. At every turn they should be treasured. Therefore I look forward to allactivities that are presented to the Senior Advisory commission.
What programs or projects would you like to see improved or implemented?
Having been a participant on the Senior Advisory Commission these past six years I believe the projectsat hand are being addressed and moved forward and finally are a viable conduit in implementing newprojects, ideas and in turn bolstering the Napa Seniors of our community to a level of being respected,valued and safe. That does not mean, however, that there is not room for change. I welcome any aspectfor improvement that will promote our seniors and advocate for our seniors. It is my quixotic hope wealways keep moving forward with Senior issues.
How would you approach improving these project(s) or program(s)?
Conversation and communication are paramount in accomplishing a task. I have witnessed the meeting ofminds with the current commission which helps narrow down and funnel out the good ideas and solutionsto make the necessary changes and implement programs. Without the exchange or ideas andconversation it would be difficult to make a decision on what is truly best for our seniors and act on thosedecisions.
Are you involved in any organizations or activities that may result in a conflict of interest ifyou are appointed to this board?
