I will look at the risk management component.

And I think about the way that I define risk management is not just physical risk, but also thinking about psychosocial risk, reputational risk.

So thinking about what are the elements of parts and ricks that we're looking at in what are the risks involving those things in hazards.

More importantly, I will put my other hat on, which is to be I'm a father of two boys.

And so my um lens or my expertise in that area will be how can I create a or or help um move the needle again for the next generation?

So my two boys can enjoy the not only the programming but also the um the trails and everything that we have here to offer.

Um I'm also a pickleball player.

Um we haven't played yet, so I'm looking forward to playing pickleball.

Um going to the um old school house on Sundays and playing pickleball and in understanding that there's a community around the sport, and how can we uh again use this as the entry point for building community uh so we can enhance where we live.

So that will be the two ways that I think that my expertise could um help in this commission.

Um with my extensive marketing background, I um could definitely help market some of the key um initiatives that maybe we have as the commission, as well as perhaps market some of the activities better.

For example, I noticed that for um an activity that's listed on April 24th, we only have one person registered, and it's called the City Nature Challenge with Amy Whitham.

And the reason why this um really um piqued my interest was on Sunday I watched a segment on CBS Sunday mornings where they mentioned the same app, iNaturalist.

It's a great app, and the reason why it's so important is that the scientists also utilize this app to find um like new species.

And I thought, wow, how wonderful would it be if the city of Redmond encouraged all residents who walk at these trails and go to these parks?

If you see something interesting, take a picture and upload it to iNaturalist.

And who knows, we may actually discover a new species of a bug of a plant for the scientists that are really utilizing this app.

So that would be an example.

Um, and then also I would say just more to focus.

I can help with inclusivity and accessibility.

Um, those are also some passions of mine, and one example also was sustainability since we play so much pickleball at all the various parks, and I've been to every single outdoor Redmond park that has a pickleball court.

I know the ins and outs, what courts suck, excuse my language, that needs to be updated.

And I know we have budget, and that's another area I can definitely help with.

I have um managed budget for major corporations, um, as much as 3.5 million as an individual person managing that budget.

Um budget, of course, is super important.

Um I would say that you know, one of the ideas is that the pickleballs that we use are made of plastic, and we dump so many broken um pickleballs into the trash bins at these parks.

And there are organizations that we can send the balls to to be recycled properly.

Um the other suggestion is a lot of different cities have started utilizing these broken pickleballs to create major signage on the fences that spell out the city's name.

So, for example, in Samamish, um, they're already spelling out the word Sammamish across the longest fence, and it's actually pretty cool.

So that's like an initiative that we can also do um in Redmond, especially at Perigo, because that is the premier pickleball court where it's not just Redmond residents that utilize it.

We have people coming from all over, and I mean like even from across the passes, because that is the only place where um there are lights during the summer and winter, and the die hard fans will come play where there is light and there are courts.

Um I would say that in terms of inclusivity, um, especially at the senior center, the rec centers, uh it might be nice to add like things like mahjong, chess, Chinese checkers, activities like that that may perhaps bring in another segment of people.

But things of that nature is where I think I could contribute.

I think we have time for one more question.

If you want to maybe um maybe I'll have oh and Vive Caswin, how about we do this?

Councilmember Forsyth, why don't you ask one of them one question?

We'll have Mega Council Member Sony ask one, and we'll have uh Councilmember Precrea ask the last person the last question.

So this is more of a popourry.

More of a potpourri.

Well, this question was kind of answered in your answer.

Um, so I will choose in the middle here.

Um what is something that you see as either innovative in an in one of our own parks, another park you've been to, or another city's park, um, or something that's lacking that you would want to bring to your service.

Um so in terms of innovative in terms of innovation, I think uh like my favorite park is downtown park.

And I think one of the nice things about that is how it's used like during the summer constantly, almost like every weekend or every other weekend for some sort of large scale event.

And um I love that, especially as like a new park.

I think it's like been designed, so it has a lot of like plaza area and like the circular nature of like the lawn, uh, just like invites putting booths in a circle, you know.

And so I think uh I don't know if that was intentional, but I hope it was.

But uh I really like that as a new park, it's built with like events in mind.

And so I like I love the aspect, and I would love to see that at the other large scale parks like the other community community parks have like the space to kind of have like logistics so that um a bunch of like vendors can all come in and build around that.

And then in terms of like lacking and stuff like that, another thing that downtown park has is uh nice and uh clean and maintained bathrooms, and I would love to see bathrooms like expanded to other high demand parks.

And yes, that park was designed that way.

Yeah, uh council member Sony, who would you like to ask your question of?

Sydney, because already answered.

So I would uh ask this question to Jose.

Uh, what does a truly inclusive playground looks like to you apart from just being ADA compatible?

Apart from being ADA compliant, what does the uh like you know, what does the definition of an inclusive playground to?

Yes, um, I mean, I know that I have a short time.

Um we I think about inclusivity about think about what are the what is getting on the way for us to make sure that everybody feels that they belong.

What is it getting on the way for people to uh feel that they have access to the same opportunities that everybody else have?

Um I I think about inclusivity also about putting the mirror in front of me and thinking what is it that I'm not doing to make sure that I break down the barriers for that entry point for somebody to go on a hike or go play pickable.
