Statement of STEVEN B. PEREZ, Candidate for Director Scotts Valley Fire Protection District Occupation: Fire Captain Age: 52 Education and Qualifications: I can offer objectivity and experience as a Scotts Valley Fire Board representative. I have been a City of San Jose Fire Captain for 20 years. Overall, I have 32 years of experience and working knowledge in most aspects of the fire service. The San Jose Fire Department has had a paramedic program for over 5 years. My insight and knowledge related to implementing a paramedic program will be valuable when Scotts Valley Fire District institutes its paramedic program. As zoning vice-president for the San Jose Almaden Valley Homeowners, I was heavily involved in the politics between our association and the City. I developed a great rapport with the city council that not only helped our interests, but helped the city’s as well. My experiences in the fire service and the homeowners association will be invaluable if I’m elected to the Scotts Valley Fire Protection District Board. Currently, there are no board members with a similar background and experience. This has caused concerns over issues such as closing stations, staffing, safety and purchasing new equipment. The Scotts Valley Firefighters Union supports this candidacy. If elected, I will bring needed experience to the Board that is currently missing. Thank you. |
