MEMO TO: HONORABLE MAYOR & CITY COUNCILMEMBERS
FROM: CITY ADMINISTRATOR HEDGES
DATE: JANUARY 6, 1984
SUBJECT: SPECIAL CITY COUNCIL MEETING FOR 1-10-84
A special City Council meeting was scheduled for January 10, 1984
to consider interviews for the openings in the Advisory Planning
Commission and Advisory Parks & Recreation Commission beginning
in 1984 and also to further consider the 1984 non-union compensation
plan. There are two (2) additional items that warrant review by
the City Council at the special meeting. They include:
1. A review of the joint powers agreement/development of legis-
lative programs.
2. A brief review of Lexington South P.U.D. park land dedica-
tion.
Both of these items are scheduled for the January 17 City Council
meeting. However, to save time at that regular City Council meeting
and due to the fact there are but a few persons to be interviewed
on Tuesday evening, it seemed appropriate that the items be placed
on the agenda for discussion purposes. It is advisable that formal
action not be taken on either of these items at the special City
Council meeting. For that matter, there should not be formal action
taken on any of the items that are on the formal City Council
meeting agenda. They will all be scheduled for the January 17,
1984 meeting.
INTERVIEWS
Advisory Planning Commission Applicants
There are two (2) seats open on the Advisory Planning Commission
for three (3) year terms. There is also an alternate position open
for a one year term. Mr. Charles Hall is reapplying for a three
year term; however, Mr. Dale Turnham, as noticed in an earlier let-
ter to the City Council, is not reapplying. Mr. Garrett Mulrooney,
the present alternate, is reapplying for a three year term.
As a result of the advertisement in the local newspapers and City
newsletter, three (3) persons have applied for the Advisory Planning
Commission. Those persons are Roy Taylor, Vic Ellison, and James
D. Wannigman. Mr. Wannigman and Mr. Ellison are available for in-
terviews and are scheduled for Tuesday evening's meeting. However,
Mr. Taylor has a conflict and is unable to be present on Tuesday
evening. He did indicate that he would be happy to come to the
next City Council meeting and at least introduce himself to the
City Council or make other arrangements if the City Council so de-
sires. Mr. Chuck Hall will not be present for an interview, nor will
Mr. Garrett Mulrooney.

sory Park & Recreation Commission. All three incumbents are re-
applying. They are Sandra Masin, Mike Fedde and Roger Martin.
Mr. Martin has a conflict and will not present for an interview.
Mr. Fedde also has a cohflict and"will not,. be, present. At -the time
of this memo, Sandra Masin has not indicated whether or not she
will be present: All three members of the Advisory Parks & Recre-
ation Commission have submitted letters indicating they would like
to reapply. They are attached for your information. There are
two (2) new applicants and they are Thomas R. Parker and Tom
Ketchum. Both have submitted letters. Mr. Ketchum is available
for an interview on Tuesday. Mr. Parker will be out of town and
is unable to be present Tuesday evening; however, he can be present
for the City Council meeting on January 17 to introduce himself
or make another arrangement with the Mayor and/or 'City Council,
if appropriate.
As mentioned above, letters for all the new applicants, as well
as those received to this time from incumbents, are enclosed for
your review. A schedule for the formal interviews will be available
at the meeting on Tuesday.
1984 NON-UNION COMPENSATION
At a special City Council meeting held on Tuesday, December 22,
1983,, the City Administrator presented a salary compensation
schedule for 1984 for all non-union personnel based on a 58 compen-
sation adjustment. In light of the City Council's guidelines for
a total increase during 1984 to be no greater than 4k8 and also
implementation of a salary compensation for all non-union personnel
with a consideration for adjustments effective May 1, 1984, it would
seem appropriate that all non-union personnel receive a 4.58 salary
compensation January 1, 1984. This is consistent with the recent
settlement for the police and under the percentage increase for
two other collective bargaining groups. The City Administrator
asked the Director of Finance to prepare an example of a 4.58 salary
adjustment with no change to the contribution for insurance by the
City and a second example of using a 48 salary adjustment and a
$10 increase toward the contribution for insurance for non-union
personnel. This study has been prepared and the City Administrator
will share the results of that with the Council on Tuesday. The
net effect is insignificant as to which choice is provided. How-
ever, whether the City provides a before taxes deduction is signi-
ficant.

JOINT POWERS`AGREEEMENT/DEVELOPMENT OF LEGISLATIVE PROGRAMS
At the last City Council meeting, action was taken to approve the
concept of a joint lobbying effort for several other cities, forming
a ring around the metropolitan area, to specifically address local
government aid. The City Administrator attended a meeting on Thurs-
day morning, January 5, 1984, at which time a group of city admini-
strators and managers reviewed eight (8) proposals that had been
submitted by firms hoping to be selected as the lobbyist for this
group. It was decided that an all day interview would take place
on Friday, January 13, at the Edina City Hall, allowing each of
the eight to be screened by the group as a whole. There will be
two city administrators and two mayors conducting the actual inter-
view in terms of asking questions; however, all member cities can
have one or two representatives present to observe the process which
is important because all cities will have a voice in who is finally
selected. There are a couple of more meetings the following week
to make the final decision on who will be selected as a lobbyist.
The main thrust and issue for the selection of a lobbyist is local
government aid. There may be some offshoots from local government
aid affecting other tax related issues that apply to the membership
that will be addressed during legislative sessions by whomever is
selected as a lobbyist. Also, it is possible that two firms could
be selected to work jointly as lobbyist if, after the interviews,
the group feels that this would be most effective. Before a final
selection is made, a spokesman for the group will meet with Repre-
sentative Sieben to see which of the finalists he feels would be
most effective with the house and senate. The group certainly does -
not wish to employ a firm to provide lobbyist services and then
find out they don't have the credibility necessary to achieve re-
sults with legislators. Enclosed for your review is the joint and
cooperative agreement that has been adopted by five (5) cities to
date. The cities that are being considered for membership into
the joint powers are Eagan, Minnetonka, Bloomington; Edina, Eden
Prairie, Plymouth, Maple, Grove, Brooklyn Park, Maplewood, Roseville,
White Bear Lake, Woodbury and Shoreview. There was also some in-
terest expressed by the group that New Brighton and Inver Grove
Heights should also be included. The City Administrator would like
to discuss the joint powers further with the City Council and recom-
mend that the City proceed with its formal adoption at the January
17 City Council meeting. The City of Eagan is presently destined
to receive zero in local government aid next year, so any effort
to restore local government aid will be an achievement for our com-
munity.

BRIEF REVIEW OF LEXINGTON SOUTH PUD PARK LAND DEDICATION
Following the City Council meeting on January 3, 1984, the City
Administrator had a lengthy discussion with the Director of Parks
& Recreation regarding the proposed parkland as shown in the West-
bury Addition plat. The Advisory Parks & Recreation Commission
has recommended to the City Council that that 8 acre park be dedica-
ted as parkland, but never felt it was desirable parkland for the
City. The reason that parkland was proposed for dedication as a
part of the plat was due to an interpretation of the planned unit
development agreement that, if that parkland was not taken, there
would be no requirement for the developer to dedicate other parkland
totalling the 8 acres or make the cash donation. The City Admini-
strator has interpreted the development agreement differently and
feels the City should pursue other parkland dedication with the
developer at this time if that 8 acre parcel is not desirable by
the Advisory Parks & Recreation Commission and/or City Council.
Also, the developer and owner of Lexington South, Mr. Jim Curry,
is attempting to negotiate all of the final parkland dedication
and deed that property to the City as it pertains to Lexington South
at this time. Therefore, it is timely that the parkland dedication
as it relates to the Lexington South PUD be resolved and this in-
cludes the Westbury Addition. The. Advisory Park & Recreation Com-
mission met on Thursday, January 5, at which time the Parks & Re-
creation Director presented a number of considerations that were
made by the City Administrator and Park Director in discussions
that have transpired since the City Council meeting relating to
the Lexington South PUD parkland dedication and, more specifically,
the proposed Westbury preliminary plat. The City Administrator
would like to review the whole parkland matter with the City Council
if time permits on Tuesday due to the fact that this item will be
placed on the January 17 City Council agenda, and it might be well
to provide some .of the background information in a work session
to save time at the regular meeting on the 17th. There is no action
required, as stated earlier in the memorandum, at the special City
Council meeting.

December 20, 1983
my interest in being considered
on the City's Advisory Parks
My family and I moved here from one of the Northern
Virginia suburbs of Washington, D. C., in November. I am employed
as the Supervisory Senior Resident.Agent in charge of the St. Paul
Office of the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
For most of my adult life, I have been an avid camper,
backpacker, and outdoor enthusiast. Prior to joining the FBI,
I was employed as a Park Ranger for the National Park Service,
U. S. Department of the Interior, in Yosemite National Park,
California. I have also been involved in the Scouting program
for over fifteen years, and have held most of the adult volunteer
positions therein, including those at the state and multi -state
levels. In that capacity, I have been involved in the planning
of new camp areas and programs, promoting outdoor recreational
activities, recruiting and training adult volunteers, and main-
taining liaison with various individuals and organizations with
potential resources to offer to these programs.
If you or the selection committee have a need for any
additional information, I will be happy to provide same.

Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
City of Eagan
Re: Reappointment to the Eagan Advisory Park Commission
I would appreciate your consideration to reappoint me to
another term on the Eagan Advisory Park Commission.
The experience of participating on the commission has
been very enjoyable, particularly the past few years
while working on the Park System Master Plan. I welcome
the opportunity to continue to serve with the hope of
getting this plan implemented.
I think I also bring a historical advantage from having
served on the commission for a length of time that can
relate some of the events that took place years before
that have an impact on decisions made regarding the park
system.
I will not be able to attend the council meeting on
January 10, because of business committments, but hope
I can continue to serve the community in this capacity.
Sincerely
Roger J�. Martin

Dear Mr. Hedges:
Please be informed that I am interested in serving on the Advisory Planning
Commission for the city of Eagan.
I am a new resident of this community, having purchased a home on Carlson
Lake Lane in late November. My wife, Carol, and I have two children, and recently
moved to Eagan from Mankato, where I had been editorial -page editor of that city's
daily newspaper, the Mankato Free Press. I am now the media director for the
Independent -Republican caucus in the Minnesota House of Representatives.
As a newspaperman for six years, first in Red Wing and then later in Mankato,
I developed a keen interest in public affairs at the local and state levels. However,
being a journalist and needing to protect the perception of "objectivity," I was
precluded from serving on boards and commissions. Now that I am out of the newspapering
field, I look forward to taking an active role in making my city a better place to live.
Serving on the Advisory Planning Commission would be a good place to begin.
I am 28 years old. I grew up in southern Minneapolis, graduating from Washburn
High School. I studied at St. Cloud State University, graduating with a B.A. degree,
with majors in mass communications and political science, and a minor in economics.
Should you choose not to appoint me to the Advisory Planning Commission, please
keep me in mind for some other future opening. I am willing to serve the city of
Eagan in whatever capacity you might find useful.
Sincerely,
Vic Ellison

Dear Mr. Hedges:
Please accept this letter as my application for appointment to the Eagan :._
adv&sory planning commission. I_ am responding to a..notice published in the
Eagan Chronicle for the week of December 18th.
I am very interested in the work of this policy body and feel that my
qualifications for such an appointment are substantial. I have worked with
several citizens groups' who have assisted in maintaining economic viability
and promoting the general welfare of a city. My experience has been in both
the areas of community service and planning study. I have assisted in co-
ordinating planning for business enterprises that are labor intensive. This
was in the function as a volunteer for a minority established planning
group in St. Paul. This experience proved to be very useful and insightful
in dealing with financial segments of the corporate sector.
In addition to this practical experience, I have undertaken graduate course-
work in the field of community planning and organizational management. From
this endeavor I have gained a better understanding of the need for encouraging
appropriate uses of land by-enaouraging compatibleuses for both redidential-
and business areas. During this coursework I was able to examine and take
part in analyzing selected comprehensive planning documents and zoning codes.
Thus, I am familiar with the function and implementation of both items. In
addition to this formalized study I have done extensive reading on various
planning tools such as tax -increment financing, industrial revenue bonding,
and other methods of development financing.
If.you should have any further questions regarding my background please
consult the enclosed resume or you can contact the following individuals for
reference: Dulcie Hagedorn, Senior Planner,_ Hennepin County Planning and
Development, 368=4474; John Poupart, Planning Commissioner, City of Minneapolis,

Tom, upon expiration of my term as a member of the Advisory Planning
Commission, I want to advise you that I do not want to be considered
for another term on the commission.
My experience as a member of this commission has been very positive.
It certainly has given me a better insight into what goes on in our
city and I hope I an a more informed citizen for it.
While my experience has been very good, I think that it is time for
someone else with different insights and ideas to step into this
work.
The city should be proud of the staff and if I can be of some help to

MEMO TO: HONORABLE MAYOR & CITY COUNCILMEMBERS
FROM: CITY ADMINISTRATOR HEDGES
DATE: JANUARY 6, 1984
SUBJECT: SPECIAL CITY COUNCIL MEETING FOR 1-10-84
A special City Council meeting was scheduled for January 10, 1984
to consider interviews for the openings in the Advisory Planning
Commission and Advisory Parks & Recreation Commission beginning
in 1984 and also to further consider the 1984 non-union compensation
plan. There are two (2) additional items that warrant review by
the City Council at the special meeting. They include:
1. A review of the joint powers agreement/development of legis-
lative programs.
2. A brief review of Lexington South P.U.D. park land dedica-
tion.
Both of these items are scheduled for the January 17 City Council
meeting. However, to save time at that regular City Council meeting
and due to the fact there are but a few persons to be interviewed
on Tuesday evening, it seemed appropriate that the items be placed
on the agenda for discussion purposes. It is advisable that formal
action not be taken on either of these items at the special City
Council meeting. For that matter, there should not be formal action
taken on any of the items that are on the formal City Council
meeting agenda. They will all be scheduled for the January 17,
1984 meeting.
INTERVIEWS
Advisory Planning Commission Applicants
There are two (2) seats open on the Advisory Planning Commission
for three (3) year terms. There is also an alternate position open
for a one year term. Mr. Charles Hall is reapplying for a three
year term; however, Mr. Dale Turnham, as noticed in an earlier let-
ter to the City Council, is not reapplying. Mr. Garrett Mulrooney,
the present alternate, is reapplying for a three year term.
As a result of the advertisement in the local newspapers and City
newsletter, three (3) persons have applied for the Advisory Planning
Commission. Those persons are Roy Taylor, Vic Ellison, and James
D. Wannigman. Mr. Wannigman and Mr. Ellison are available for in-
terviews and are scheduled for Tuesday evening's meeting. However,
Mr. Taylor has a conflict and is unable to be present on Tuesday
evening. He did indicate that he would be happy to come to the
next City Council meeting and at least introduce himself to the
City Council or make other arrangements if the City Council so de-
sires. Mr. Chuck Hall will not be present for an interview, nor will
Mr. Garrett Mulrooney.

Advisory Park & Recreation Commission Applicants
There are three (3) openings for three (3) year terms on the Advi-
sory Park & Recreation Commission. All three incumbents are re-
applying. They are Sandra Masin, Mike Fedde and Roger Martin.
Mr. Martin has a conflict and will not present for an interview.
Mr. Fedde also has a cohflict and"will not,. be, present. At -the time
of this memo, Sandra Masin has not indicated whether or not she
will be present: All three members of the Advisory Parks & Recre-
ation Commission have submitted letters indicating they would like
to reapply. They are attached for your information. There are
two (2) new applicants and they are Thomas R. Parker and Tom
Ketchum. Both have submitted letters. Mr. Ketchum is available
for an interview on Tuesday. Mr. Parker will be out of town and
is unable to be present Tuesday evening; however, he can be present
for the City Council meeting on January 17 to introduce himself
or make another arrangement with the Mayor and/or 'City Council,
if appropriate.
As mentioned above, letters for all the new applicants, as well
as those received to this time from incumbents, are enclosed for
your review. A schedule for the formal interviews will be available
at the meeting on Tuesday.
1984 NON-UNION COMPENSATION
At a special City Council meeting held on Tuesday, December 22,
1983,, the City Administrator presented a salary compensation
schedule for 1984 for all non-union personnel based on a 58 compen-
sation adjustment. In light of the City Council's guidelines for
a total increase during 1984 to be no greater than 4k8 and also
implementation of a salary compensation for all non-union personnel
with a consideration for adjustments effective May 1, 1984, it would
seem appropriate that all non-union personnel receive a 4.58 salary
compensation January 1, 1984. This is consistent with the recent
settlement for the police and under the percentage increase for
two other collective bargaining groups. The City Administrator
asked the Director of Finance to prepare an example of a 4.58 salary
adjustment with no change to the contribution for insurance by the
City and a second example of using a 48 salary adjustment and a
$10 increase toward the contribution for insurance for non-union
personnel. This study has been prepared and the City Administrator
will share the results of that with the Council on Tuesday. The
net effect is insignificant as to which choice is provided. How-
ever, whether the City provides a before taxes deduction is signi-
ficant.

JOINT POWERS`AGREEEMENT/DEVELOPMENT OF LEGISLATIVE PROGRAMS
At the last City Council meeting, action was taken to approve the
concept of a joint lobbying effort for several other cities, forming
a ring around the metropolitan area, to specifically address local
government aid. The City Administrator attended a meeting on Thurs-
day morning, January 5, 1984, at which time a group of city admini-
strators and managers reviewed eight (8) proposals that had been
submitted by firms hoping to be selected as the lobbyist for this
group. It was decided that an all day interview would take place
on Friday, January 13, at the Edina City Hall, allowing each of
the eight to be screened by the group as a whole. There will be
two city administrators and two mayors conducting the actual inter-
view in terms of asking questions; however, all member cities can
have one or two representatives present to observe the process which
is important because all cities will have a voice in who is finally
selected. There are a couple of more meetings the following week
to make the final decision on who will be selected as a lobbyist.
The main thrust and issue for the selection of a lobbyist is local
government aid. There may be some offshoots from local government
aid affecting other tax related issues that apply to the membership
that will be addressed during legislative sessions by whomever is
selected as a lobbyist. Also, it is possible that two firms could
be selected to work jointly as lobbyist if, after the interviews,
the group feels that this would be most effective. Before a final
selection is made, a spokesman for the group will meet with Repre-
sentative Sieben to see which of the finalists he feels would be
most effective with the house and senate. The group certainly does -
not wish to employ a firm to provide lobbyist services and then
find out they don't have the credibility necessary to achieve re-
sults with legislators. Enclosed for your review is the joint and
cooperative agreement that has been adopted by five (5) cities to
date. The cities that are being considered for membership into
the joint powers are Eagan, Minnetonka, Bloomington; Edina, Eden
Prairie, Plymouth, Maple, Grove, Brooklyn Park, Maplewood, Roseville,
White Bear Lake, Woodbury and Shoreview. There was also some in-
terest expressed by the group that New Brighton and Inver Grove
Heights should also be included. The City Administrator would like
to discuss the joint powers further with the City Council and recom-
mend that the City proceed with its formal adoption at the January
17 City Council meeting. The City of Eagan is presently destined
to receive zero in local government aid next year, so any effort
to restore local government aid will be an achievement for our com-
munity.

BRIEF REVIEW OF LEXINGTON SOUTH PUD PARK LAND DEDICATION
Following the City Council meeting on January 3, 1984, the City
Administrator had a lengthy discussion with the Director of Parks
& Recreation regarding the proposed parkland as shown in the West-
bury Addition plat. The Advisory Parks & Recreation Commission
has recommended to the City Council that that 8 acre park be dedica-
ted as parkland, but never felt it was desirable parkland for the
City. The reason that parkland was proposed for dedication as a
part of the plat was due to an interpretation of the planned unit
development agreement that, if that parkland was not taken, there
would be no requirement for the developer to dedicate other parkland
totalling the 8 acres or make the cash donation. The City Admini-
strator has interpreted the development agreement differently and
feels the City should pursue other parkland dedication with the
developer at this time if that 8 acre parcel is not desirable by
the Advisory Parks & Recreation Commission and/or City Council.
Also, the developer and owner of Lexington South, Mr. Jim Curry,
is attempting to negotiate all of the final parkland dedication
and deed that property to the City as it pertains to Lexington South
at this time. Therefore, it is timely that the parkland dedication
as it relates to the Lexington South PUD be resolved and this in-
cludes the Westbury Addition. The. Advisory Park & Recreation Com-
mission met on Thursday, January 5, at which time the Parks & Re-
creation Director presented a number of considerations that were
made by the City Administrator and Park Director in discussions
that have transpired since the City Council meeting relating to
the Lexington South PUD parkland dedication and, more specifically,
the proposed Westbury preliminary plat. The City Administrator
would like to review the whole parkland matter with the City Council
if time permits on Tuesday due to the fact that this item will be
placed on the January 17 City Council agenda, and it might be well
to provide some .of the background information in a work session
to save time at the regular meeting on the 17th. There is no action
required, as stated earlier in the memorandum, at the special City
Council meeting.

For most of my adult life, I have been an avid camper,
backpacker, and outdoor enthusiast. Prior to joining the FBI,
I was employed as a Park Ranger for the National Park Service,

California. I have also been involved in the Scouting program

positions therein, including those at the state and multi -state
levels. In that capacity, I have been involved in the planning
of new camp areas and programs, promoting outdoor recreational
activities, recruiting and training adult volunteers, and main-

potential resources to offer to these programs.

Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
City of Eagan
Re: Reappointment to the Eagan Advisory Park Commission
I would appreciate your consideration to reappoint me to
another term on the Eagan Advisory Park Commission.
The experience of participating on the commission has
been very enjoyable, particularly the past few years
while working on the Park System Master Plan. I welcome
the opportunity to continue to serve with the hope of
getting this plan implemented.
I think I also bring a historical advantage from having
served on the commission for a length of time that can
relate some of the events that took place years before
that have an impact on decisions made regarding the park
system.
I will not be able to attend the council meeting on
January 10, because of business committments, but hope
I can continue to serve the community in this capacity.
Sincerely
Roger J�. Martin

Dear Mr. Hedges:
Please be informed that I am interested in serving on the Advisory Planning
Commission for the city of Eagan.
I am a new resident of this community, having purchased a home on Carlson
Lake Lane in late November. My wife, Carol, and I have two children, and recently
moved to Eagan from Mankato, where I had been editorial -page editor of that city's
daily newspaper, the Mankato Free Press. I am now the media director for the
Independent -Republican caucus in the Minnesota House of Representatives.
As a newspaperman for six years, first in Red Wing and then later in Mankato,
I developed a keen interest in public affairs at the local and state levels. However,
being a journalist and needing to protect the perception of "objectivity," I was
precluded from serving on boards and commissions. Now that I am out of the newspapering
field, I look forward to taking an active role in making my city a better place to live.
Serving on the Advisory Planning Commission would be a good place to begin.
I am 28 years old. I grew up in southern Minneapolis, graduating from Washburn
High School. I studied at St. Cloud State University, graduating with a B.A. degree,
with majors in mass communications and political science, and a minor in economics.
Should you choose not to appoint me to the Advisory Planning Commission, please
keep me in mind for some other future opening. I am willing to serve the city of
Eagan in whatever capacity you might find useful.
Sincerely,

Dear Mr. Hedges:
Please accept this letter as my application for appointment to the Eagan :._
adv&sory planning commission. I_ am responding to a..notice published in the
Eagan Chronicle for the week of December 18th.
I am very interested in the work of this policy body and feel that my
qualifications for such an appointment are substantial. I have worked with
several citizens groups' who have assisted in maintaining economic viability
and promoting the general welfare of a city. My experience has been in both
the areas of community service and planning study. I have assisted in co-
ordinating planning for business enterprises that are labor intensive. This
was in the function as a volunteer for a minority established planning
group in St. Paul. This experience proved to be very useful and insightful
in dealing with financial segments of the corporate sector.
In addition to this practical experience, I have undertaken graduate course-
work in the field of community planning and organizational management. From
this endeavor I have gained a better understanding of the need for encouraging
appropriate uses of land by-enaouraging compatibleuses for both redidential-
and business areas. During this coursework I was able to examine and take
part in analyzing selected comprehensive planning documents and zoning codes.
Thus, I am familiar with the function and implementation of both items. In
addition to this formalized study I have done extensive reading on various
planning tools such as tax -increment financing, industrial revenue bonding,
and other methods of development financing.
If.you should have any further questions regarding my background please
consult the enclosed resume or you can contact the following individuals for
reference: Dulcie Hagedorn, Senior Planner,_ Hennepin County Planning and
Development, 368=4474; John Poupart, Planning Commissioner, City of Minneapolis,
296-4500; and Oliver Byrum, Director of Planning, City of Minneapolis, 348-

Tom, upon expiration of my term as a member of the Advisory Planning
Commission, I want to advise you that I do not want to be considered
for another term on the commission.
My experience as a member of this commission has been very positive.
It certainly has given me a better insight into what goes on in our
city and I hope I an a more informed citizen for it.
While my experience has been very good, I think that it is time for
someone else with different insights and ideas to step into this
work.
The city should be proud of the staff and if I can be of some help to
you in the future, let me know.
