BACKGROUND:
Pursuant to resolution of the Board of Supervisors, the bylaws of the North Fair Oaks Community Council (NFOCC) have historically provided for nine voting adult members and one youth member and one youth member alternate.
DISCUSSION:
Niket Sirsi has served on the NFOCC since his initial partial term began in September 2022 and is being recommended to serve a full 3-year term effective January 1, 2024 through December 31, 2026.
Niket Sirsi is a Director of Product Management for Crunchyroll Inc. He has worked in tech for over 20 years, both at big companies like Apple and Nvidia, and small startups. He grew up in the area, moved around a bit after college, and has settled here in North Fair Oaks for the past 10 years. The biggest issues that Niket sees facing the community in the near future are environmental and economic sustainability. Climate change is having a larger impact, and he believes that we need to answer this at the community level through promoting green living and adding back to the environment as much as possible. Creating a healthy environment for people to live can then lead to better economic outcomes as well. This must be balanced with the need for growth and all the issues surrounding new housing and more efficient living styles.
FISCAL IMPACT:
None.
