audience how important it is to be aware of using sensory modes such as
touch, sight, smell, to provide a full experience of a specific event.

Candidate Bill James's Re-Appointment to Your Planning Commission
This is being written to support Bill James's candidacy to be re-appointed to your Planning
Commission. Having served on your Commission for years, Bill is familiar with and has acted
upon all 11 specific Commissioner requirements laid out in your Planning Commissioner job
description.
Bill has served as an attorney for our US Attorney General. He used those skills in his
extensive service with your Commission, having a leading role in formulating and
implementing compromises and solutions for many difficult items. Undoubtably, BiWs advice
saved our city many legal quagmires.
Bill has lived in RPV for years and knows our city well. Most importantly, is quite familiar
with our Municipal Codes and applicability. Further, Bill would bring his legal b?ckground,
something which has been lost with past chair Julie's election to our School Board.
Bill has a unique ability to speak in a very calm, measured and to the point manner,
appreciated by staff, our Commission and those appearing before us. A skill undoubtably
acquired serving in our legal profession.
Our Commission now needs an experienced, skilled member who has trod the many roads
our Commission travels! Bill has that experience and it is my pleasure and honor to highly
recommend him to you for re-appointment to your Planning Commission.
Thank you for your time and consideration. If you have any questions on my
recommendation, pleased do not hesitate to contact me.

Tues Clsd Session: PC Commissioner Appt: Bill James Support
Mayor Ferraro, Myron Pro-Tern Cruikshank, Councilmen Alegria, Bradley and Seo
Another reason I support Bill's re-appointment!
Last Tues our Planning Commission reviewed our General Plan 2022 activities. I had the opportunity to go
back and read sections and found that Bill James was PC Chair when it was adopted in 2018.
His appointment now would be a plus since our state encourages Gen Plan reviews every 8 years, making 2026
the year for our potential review.
Several of you participated in that decade long revision (Dave Bradley, John Cruikshank, Eric Alegria) and
will remember the long sessions, the patience required and the many repetitive, back and forth negotiations.
I believe Bill James, as PC Chair when this went into our 2018 wrap, has travelled our revision road and
would bring to our Commission leadership skills needed in any General Plan discussions or update thoughts.
Thanks for this time!
Bob Nelson
PC Commissioner
