Reasons for wanting to serve on this board: I am mostly interested in this board as a means of helping maintain green space and helping to balance the growth coming with new housing developments and the need to maintain environmental standards and sustainability. Conflict of Interest: 16 Page 2 of 2 Jenn Sykes Human Relations Commission Background, education and experience relevant to this board: I serve on other boards and pay attention to social issues. Reasons for wanting to serve on this board: Orange County has a real problem with representing voices from lower-income residents. Most boards are dominated by people from higher social classes and have a viewpoint that doesn t truly reflect the issues that concern the majority of the county residents. It s a very white collar view for a place that has a larger number of blue collar people than it oftentimes considers. Across different boards I ve been on I ve made a point to raise that perspective and argue for it, as no one else involved in the local political scene seems to. Yes, there are issues many people will raise that are of importance and impact people besides themselves, but overall in this county the voices heard the most don t reflect what a plurality of the citizens are truly concerned about. I will try with this board to bring those voices forward, particularly by ensure they re able to organize and prepare to make their case. One example is how often the residents of Fairview Park, Faucette, and West Hillsborough are ignored in discussions on items that would concern them. Conflict of Interest: Supplemental Questions: Boards/Commissions appointments: Affordable Housing Advisory Board Application Date: 1/21/2017 Background, education and experience relevant to this board: I have served on the Hillsborough Planning Board and live in a part of the county where gentrification and developer priorities have limited affordable housing. Reasons for wanting to serve on this board: I live in an area where I m starting to see more and more people forced out of their homes and want to help them ensure their voice is heard. Orange County doesn t do the best job of encouraging people who might be in housing trouble to come forward, and Conflict of Interest: Orange Unified Transportation Board Application Date: 1/21/2017 Background, education and experience relevant to this board: I serve on the Hillsborough Planning Board and often sit in traffic in the county. Reasons for wanting to serve on this board: The county needs more options in the northern part to help people get to and from homes and work.

I have served on this board for 2-years and have enjoyed being a part of the process. I also have several years of architectural background in civic/justice projects at the state and local level. Reasons for wanting to serve on this board: As a resident of Hillsborough and Orange County for over 5-years, it is important to me to understand how I can help the community understand the process. The planning process can be confusing (even to me), so hearing everyone s thoughts and opinions are very helpful. I understand people s trepidation and concern about changes in this community. Contribution to the diversity of viewpoints on this board: Conflict of Interest: 35 Page 2 of 2 Jeff Scott Affordable Housing Advisory Board Background, education and experience relevant to this board: As an architect, affordable housing is always a critical topic of concern. I practiced in residential architecture at the beginning of my career. I have also volunteered with Habitat for Humanity in Charlotte, Asheville, and Raleigh/Durham. My previous experience working with general contractors and construction managers also allows me to understand the ramifications of costing, constructability, and project management. Reasons for wanting to serve on this board: Affordable housing is a very important and apt topic locally and nationally. As an active professional in this region, I continue to see how this area is being shaped for both the positive and negative. Contribution to the diversity of viewpoints on this board: I believe that the diversity I could bring to the Affordable Housing Advisory Board could certainly be an asset for Orange County. Having lived in other communities in this state (Asheville, Charlotte, Raleigh, Durham), as well as having spent time studying abroad in Italy and Germany, I have seen a variety of strategies that address housing. In many instances this housing has been shaped by how the urban or rural fabric is shaped. Orange County has the opportunity to really be a leader in driving affordable housing strategies forward as the county grapples with issues of growth and long-term planning strategies. I have seen this while working on single- family and multi-family residential projects and how the divide between building types is critical. Having seen how other communities grapple with affordable housing is also very important to me. Affordable housing is always a very difficult and contentious topic. I have previously been a part of a design/build architectural studio that focused solely on designing and building a home for a low-income family. I have seen how carefully and thoughtfully the process can be executed. Much of the process comes down to creating an architecture of decency for the people that inhabit these homes. Conflict of Interest: Orange County Board of Adjustment(REQUIRES DISCLOSURE STATEMENT) Background, education and experience relevant to this board: Having served in the Hillsborough Planning Board, I see the issues of concern when planning is at odds with the property owners.

Reasons for wanting to serve on this board: My architectural/planning background would help me in serving on this board. I also believe I have the fair and impartial temperament to serve. Having served as a project architect and manager for numerous projects, I see where conflicts come in and how to resolve them.
