T am familiar with the general operation of government through ,ny 1opal education: my 20 years of experience at the Deft of Revenue In legislative support positions; and through my general interest jn civic affairs. My goal, if appointed, would be to articulate and advocate legitimate citizen and municipal concerns in the appropriate forums. I believe that reasonable solutions are nearly :always possible. Briefly describe your background, experience and any other information not previously given which you believe should be considered regarding the appointment you are seeking. As an alternate member of the Airport Relations Committee. over the past year, I have gained valuable insights into the technics" and policy u c facing that body. I currently live approximately 1 mile east of city hall.this is a couple of miles south of the flight "corridor" through Eagan. At this location the primary airport impact on me is the occasional overflight, although from my front stoop I have constant visual access to corridor flight traffic. For 12 years just prior to _moving to Eagan (1975-1987) I lived in Mpls, approximately 1 mile from the airport's northern boundary. That allows me to understand citizen concerns over noise. I also believe I understand the airport's operational needs.

Pederson DATE: January 6, 1991 ATTACH TO: Background Information Form Prior experience on City Commissions, City Boards, etc. I have chaired a .hospital/nursing home merger commission and have held several offices on the following community boards: Chamber of Commerce, Ei wani s Club and a retirement home. I have spoken before several City Councils and County Commissioners. I have been an advocate for accessible ambulatory emergency medical care before the Metropolitan Council, the Metro Health Board and the Minnesota State Legislature. I have worked with various non profi t organizations in the following capacities: President, strategist, promoter and fund raiser. I have successfully written federal and local agencies and foundation grant applications and I have sat on grant or project evaluation committees. Provide a short paragraph summarizing why you are seeking an appointment to a commission in the City of Eagan. Because Sagan is my home. I lived in Dakota County in 1974 and 1975, and I have specifically returned to Sagan (from Montana, Seattle and Denver); it's the place I choose to live with my family. (I also expect to soon move my of- fice to Sagan.) As a business counselor and manager, I have worked hard to ac- quire the most useful skills and knowledge. I've written and evaluated busi- ness and project plans, financial and capital investment plans and employee pro- cedures and manuals. I'd like, now, to exploit these to benefit my home commu- nity and to help provide not just rapid Dakota County and Sagan growth, but sus- tainable businesses and jobs. Briefly describe your background, experience and any other information not pre- viously given which you believe should be considered regarding the appointment you are seeking. I have useful skills and 14 years of experience as a business counselor, train- er and manager. I have been effective in evaluating, planning, managing and counseling aspiring entrepreneurs, businesses and organizations. I can help spot potential sabotage techniques that will keep a business and your efforts from succeeding. I understand financial and organizational issues and plans and what they might mean for the viability of a business. I'd like to help you evaluate the proposed plans, policies and procedures of an organization or business and to pass along methods for sustainable success. My primary clients are in Seattle, Dallas and L.A. I expect no business conflict whatsoever. As a part of this paragraph, please note the attached Professional References.

In accordance with a letter dated November 18,from Peggy,this is my letter of request for appointment to the Eagan Economic Development Commission(EDC). I have served a three year term on the EDC. As you know,for various reasons I am not,now, available to serve another three-year term. This prompted me to recently inform Cathy Clark-Matuszak,the EDC chair elect,that I would not seek re-appointment. Accordingly, Cathy has asked that I seek appointment for whatever period of time I think I will be available. She tells me that she intended to discuss this with you before today,but that because of conflicting schedules, she has not yet been able to do so. Apparently,you are away from your office this week. Upon your return, I am sure the two of you will meet. Al that time,if you have other suggestions, I will happily withdraw my request. In honor of Cathy's request, I am applying for a one-year appointment to the EDC. I will happily consider seeking re-appointment at that time based on the value of the experience,my projected schedule and the council and/or Cathy's evaluation of my continuing helpfulness. If I am appointed,please also forward the councils criteria for this evaluation. Stated clearly,my appointment would expire at the end of 1995,but would qualify for the city's re-application process. I am not applying for,nor would I intend to accept, a term of longer than one year. I'm sorry this request might not appear to fit within the city's"normal way of doing business." I hope you and the council will see it as a good-intentioned offer,if perhaps "outside the box." My purpose,within schedule and experience constraints,is to be responsive to Cathy,helpful to my city and to support any initiative toward better outcomes through better methods and thinking. I request an early interview with the council. And, I request that Cathy also attend the interview to explain her vision,ie.,why she would like me to serve. I believe Cathy has some severe schedule restrictions, so please first work with her on the interview date and time. For the council's reference, enclosed(one-sided for your copying convenience)are your Back- ground Information Form and my January 6, 1991, answers: a few professional references;a copy of the letter I sent to each council member at that time;a piece on my Minnesota initiatives during the three-year EDC term;and, an information piece I will be using in February for a major speaking event in the Northwest—it might spur an interesting council member discussion about our council, commission and city staff organization(s). Please contact me if members would like copies of other work I've produced for the commission,the council and the city: 8/25/92 4 pg "Quality";9/29/92 17 pg "Self Examination and Visioning",4 pg"Interview Comments and Thoughts" and 3 pg "First Look Conclusions and Suggestions";3/19/93 4 pg "Methods Taskforce Structure and Action Plan" draft. Thanks, Tom,for your friendship and for facilitating this discussion. Please let me know how I might be helpful to this process and to my town. My expectation is that you will provide this entire packet to each council member. F/ TOM J.PEDERSON 4125 Meadowlark Point Res. (612) 681-9622 Eagan,MN 55122-1759 Bus.

Thanks for your interest in my comments. I sincerely wish to be appointed to the Commission and am confident that I will bring valuable knowledge and skills to this important group. I was surprised to learn that the EDC does not now have a specific voice for small business. It is small business that will provide the steadiest long-term jobs growth for Eagan. Our community should be proactive in incubating these businesses and in helping them succeed, especially during their 2nd through the 4th years. Very small businesses (1 to 5 employees) and small businesses have special needs and concerns that, when overlooked,can spell disaster for the business and instability for the community. As an EDC member, I would hope to lead an effort toward designing a plan to address these issues, including methods and means for long-range implementation. My 14 years of business consulting experience has been with all business sizes: I recently helped a large cli- ent plan a 180 person staff reduction; I also work with many entrepreneurial individuals and small business- es;and I owned and managed a company of 17 personnel. Today,I train and teach my own system of planned gen- eral management which is appropriate for organizations of all sizes from a family of two to a Fortune 50 com- pany. I also design marketing, business and personnel plans, and conduct business and site evaluations as well as venture capital projects. Although my major clients are away from the Twin Cities, when I travel (which is seldom)it is generally on a Wednesday through the weekend. I believe that for Eagan's future, we need to attract or develop a variety of businesses and business sizes, from tier marketing couples (e.g. Amway) to large employers (e.g. West Publishing); help our existing busi- nesses stay or become viable, even while we aggressively pursue new or relocating businesses; provide hope and new business opportunities for laid off workers; and liaison with our schools to assure that our future (and in some cases present) employees and business owners have the basic skills needed(e.g.financial manage- ment,planning,team theory and management,memo writing and oral communications). We need to develop low traffic (wholesale?) and super light manufacturing as a way of filling our strip malls; to take special aim at building our daytime job base (those people who work, eat, shop and sleep here);and we must better exploit Eagan's corridor potential. We need businesses that are ready to move into our strip malls when the present tenants expand away- these empty strip areas are what prospective business owners and their families see when they tour our city - and we must discourage the community and business instability caused when firms repeatedly move from one new de- velopment to another (this is like the town that built three separate bridges because they kept moving the roadway 30 feet,then they bragged about having three beautiful bridges). 8 Page 2 Before we provide any business with preferential treatment or advantage, we need to have specific, routinely attainable performance and accountability commitments-we must work to assure our City's continuing return on investment whether through jobs,tax-base improvements,or public-private partnership dividends. I'm experienced in many aspects of economic development. Pm committed to Eagan, but do not have local biases. I do not expect any business conflict and I do not have elective office aspirations. Thanks for your informality and encouragement during my interview. I appreciate that with two seats available, there should be a place on the Commission for me. I also understand that both incumbents are asking for reappointment,so my appointment may be an uncomfortable one for the Council. Mr.Wachter,if you and the Council will appoint me to the Eagan Economic Development Commission,I will be an energetic, willing and skillful member. Pm certain my appointment will be one of your most satisfying. I hope I can count on your support and your vote. I look forward to working and becoming better acquainted with you and the Council. Thank you for giving me so much of your time. If I may address any additional concerns, please do not hesitate to call me at 896-0007(days)or 681-9622. Sincerely, Original Signed by TOM J.

They shouldn't be there anyway." 3) After a discussion of the problems with the Stinar request— "These small businesses are not used to spending money on facilities or their employees; small business owners are used to pocketing their excess profits. We have to get some of those profits out of their pockets." 4) Each time I asked that we take time to focus and plan by purpose rather than urgency and/ or to develop methods for purpose based planning so we can be more ready next time— What you say, doesn't apply to this." or "We don't have time for that, the real world doesn't allow time for. . ." MSWD\EDCEVAL1\12/29/94\TJP 311 HOW WE WORK AND INTERACT AND WHY Culture is the collection of how people in an organization think and act,ie.,the sum of their habits and the thinking behind these habits—why and how they"get things done around here." Three levels of work and interaction in any organization— Level 1 Performing tasks and functions Focus on developing,marketing and selling the product and service Level 2 Improving process and systems Focus on individual and team involvement toward Total Quality Management (TQM), Continuous Improvement or other process improvement type initiatives Level 3 Improving the quality of thinking by individuals within the organization Focus on thinking and interaction by individuals and teams—not on what we do, but on how we think and what this means to what we do These Levels feed from 3 to 2 to 1,hardly at all from 1 to 2 or to 3. (This means that task role- modeling does not work very well in creating a team or workforce that will take positive initiative.) Going deeper,to Level 2 or 3, does not always seem immediately more desirable because it's easier to change what we do,in the very short term,than how we think. A Level 1 organization encourages focus by urgency,that is, always putting out fires, and "hot button management"— power's prerogative because of the crisis and because of power's perceived higher accountability. Level 2 or 3 presentations to Level 1 individuals or organizations provoke defensiveness as Level 1 thinkers imagine that their task competencies are being challenged. They shout for specifics on exactly what task changes are demanded. They resist the perceived challenge to their position and power within the existing culture. When they are finally ready for change,Level 1 individuals say, "Tell me what to do and Ill do my best." New thinking to them means new or more tasks. A NEW PARADIGM At Level 3,the primary focus of the individual and organization is not on what we do,but on how we think. This is a real shift! 01994 T-PLAN TECHNIQUES,by Tom J.

As I review the past year and look toward 1995, pert of that review includes my participation EDC. As incoming chair, I would like briefly to share with you my ideas to further enhance the role of Megan's MAC. Since my initial appointment in 1990, the EDC has participated in some noteworthy and important issues (e.g. creation of a convention and visitors bureau, TIF, special service district for Cedarvale) ; however, there has always been a sense of frustration regarding a sense of purpose, commission expectations and usefulness to you as City policymakers. In fact, a self examination vision and planning initiative, unveiled in 1992 by Commission Members, Debra McMartin and Tom J. Pederson provided some suggestions for re-examining our methods and procedures to "change the way we as a commission do business." unfortunately, this initiative failed to gather support and thus, we continue to do business as usual. I've heard that insanity is thinking we can get better or different results while continuing to do the same things and think the same ray. Our challenge is to insist this does not happen. While the type of thinking outlined in the initiative may be "outside the box", the time is here to again look at that way of thinking. To do that and be successful, we need better methods to help our commission prioritize issues, engage in more productive deliberations and provide the Council better inf r team itself. before this can evolve, we need to recognize (EDC) This means we need ivvalue each teamour eor for who they are and the unique perspect As you know, Tom J. Pederson's term on the EDC is up for reappointment and you have his letter requesting a one-year appointment to the EDC. Tom is an expert in organizational development. This is the type of expertise we need to help the EDC continue to evolve into a more cohesive, team oriented commission. Tom has graciously offered to pursue a one-year commitment as support for this initiative to help develop methods to ensure a climate exists to nurture ideas and thoughts that are "outside the I?0 R■96% 612 341 7239 01-06-95 12:46PM P002 #16 MN DOT TRAFFIC MGT CTR TEL No .612-341-7239 Jan 6,95 13:45 No .008 P.03 Council Page Two January 6, 1995 box".

I truly value Tom for his expertise and his unique perspective. I hope you too vill recognise this valuable coamunity resource in caking your EDC appointments. Tom is an individual who is truly committed to caking a difference and I think the business community, and citizens of Eagan will benefit from his expertise and dedication.

I am sorry that it is being submitted after the deadline of December 16, and I am appreciative that it will still be considered. I am extremely interested in the future of Eagan. I moved my family to the Twin Cities in 1989 and fortunately chose Eagan. After living in Eagan for a year as a renter, we decided to build a home here, as we were very happy with the quality of life we found here in the parks, shopping, and accessibility. i look upon a chance to serve on the city planning commission as an opportunity to support the life style I found in Eagan and have adopted for my family. If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact me. I may be reached during the day at 229-2725, or in the evenings at 687-9866. Sincerely, IL6 d /J- O" Nelson Mark Filipi /c3
