THIS AREA FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY: �t rn ov 0 rn H:\WPdata\WPDOCS\CMTES\cmte appl 2010-sustainabilitympd 29 October 2010 Section 11 — Personal Statement of Qualifications I have worked in the environmental field for the past 25 years. I am a Certified Hazardous Materials Manager and specialize in the Indoor Environment. While not LEED certified yet, I am very familiar with the building and certification process and requirements. I have been recycling materials at home and in business for 20 years. I am a proud resident of Palm Desert and use the curb side and residential drop off sites for managing my home hazardous and non- hazardous waste. I have had the Set to Save home energy audit provided by the city and have installed compact fluorescent bulbs and low flow shower heads. The City is a model for green living and I would enjoy serving on this committee to help us reach all 177 goals in the current plan. I live at Desert Falls Country Club where our Homeowners Association is working tirelessly to implement water management programs_ My family is rated "Excellent" in our home low water usage. I would like to see more solar panels installed on older condos like ours. I have toured the local wind combine plants and strongly support renewable energy. I work for a small business and can also bring experience in cost control. The company I work for, Executive Environmental, supports recycling in the office; carpooling; teleconferences and permits me to work from home three days a week, saving lots of gasoline. I regularly attend Green School Conferences in California and work with nearly 200 school districts through my employer. Schools can be a high energy user, but there are many ways to reach a zero net energy goal. I understand how PM10 affects our valley as well as light pollution that affects our night skies. Indoor Air Quality is my specialty and I understand the impacts of paint, carpet, cleaning products, etc. in new and renovated construction. I regularly teach awareness courses to facilities operators on the health effects of sick buildings and how to implement source control by properly choosing building materials and furnishings. Thank you for your consideration.

Gatons 72347 Sommerset Drive Palm Desert CA 92260 (760) 346 3294 January 5, 2012 City of Palm Desert: I attended the December 8, 2011 City of Palm Desert City Council meeting. I was honored to be able to address the Council in regards the plastic bag situation. Being a strong advocate of recycling, my family and I tend to have more recycling materials on the curb each week, than we do "traditional" trash. We are striving to reduce, reuse and recycle wherever possible. While earning my M.S. in Health Care Management, I developed and instituted a hospital -wide recycling program. I enjoyed seeing the employees, visitors and patients recycling! At the above mentioned City Council meeting, I was encouraged to apply for the Sustainability Committee, as the Committee is addressing the plastic bag situation. I have a strong desire to serve our City in this capacity, as well as representing our City in conjunction of a Valley -wide plastic bag initiative. Wrely, Dean Gatons Dean L.
