Corte Madera council appoints Daniel Mack to Parks and Recreation Commission
Summary
After an in-person interview, the Corte Madera Town Council voted unanimously to appoint resident Daniel Mack to the Parks and Recreation Commission. Mack described his motivations, community ties and interest in improving parks programming and communications.
The Corte Madera Town Council unanimously appointed Daniel Mack to the town’s Parks and Recreation Commission after a brief interview during the Oct. 7 meeting.
Mack, who has lived in Corte Madera since 2018, told the council he applied because he wants to contribute to “creating beautiful safe spaces for people to come together,” and highlighted his professional experience in product marketing as relevant to community outreach and goal-setting. “I believe the biggest impact on creating community happens through parks and rec,” Mack said during his opening remarks.
The council asked Mack about his familiarity with the parks and recreation master plan and whether he could commit to regular meeting attendance. Mack said he had reviewed the plan conceptually but not in full detail and emphasized that his professional and volunteer background gives him experience in setting measurable goals and gathering community feedback. He told the council he expects occasional work travel but would disclose conflicts and seek to meet the commission’s 75% attendance expectation.
No public commenters opposed the appointment; staff noted there was no email public comment for the item and no online hands raised during the interview.
A motion to appoint Mack passed on a roll-call vote with Council members Andrews, Beckman, Casiza, Vice Mayor Thomas and Mayor Ravazio all voting yes. The motion referenced the term noted in the staff report; the precise term length was not stated on the record.
Council members who spoke in support thanked Mack for volunteering. After the vote, council staff told Mack about follow-up orientation materials, including Brown Act training and an intranet page with resources for new appointees.
Mack thanked the council and said he looks forward to serving.
Details and next steps: staff will send standard onboarding materials and scheduling information for commission meetings; the Parks and Recreation Commission meets on the fourth Monday of each month at 6:30 p.m., with an expectation that appointees attend at least 75% of meetings in a fiscal year.
