Text Box: Julie Rodriguez, who works as the City of Santa Barbara’s Planning Commission Secretary in the Community Development division and is a Member of SEIU Local 620, will be out intermittently due to a serious health condition and is currently in need of catastrophic leave donations.  She was recently diagnosed with breast cancer and has depleted her sick time, personal time, vacation, and comp time during a recent surgery only to learn that she must undergo a second

Text Box: surgery this month. At this time, our ever-positive Julie has chosen to continue working as much as possible and only utilize time as necessary for doctor visits, surgery, recovery, chemotherapy, and radiation treatments. Julie is appreciative of all the prayers and well wishes that have been shared over the past few weeks and thanks everyone for their continued encouragement.  If you are interested in donating Vacation, Compensatory, or Holiday time please contact Human Resources at:

Text Box:   hr@SantaBarbaraCA.gov to obtain the donation form.   To help others who may be embarking on a similar journey, Julie will be forming a support group for City employees who have recently been diagnosed with breast cancer, are survivors of breast cancer, or who are caretakers for anyone affected by breast cancer.  Anyone who is interested in a monthly meeting and/or newsletter can reach Julie at   jrodriguez@santabarbaraca.gov
