August 16, 1996 <br />Mayor John Landers <br />7181 Sunrise Drive <br />Lino Lakes, Minnesota 55014 <br />Fran Kurk <br />580 Chippewa Trail <br />Lino Lakes, Minnesota 55014 <br />Dear Mayor Landers, <br />This summer I have throughly enjoyed the beautiful biking/walking trails in my <br />neighborhood. Our city has wonderful trails that wind by ponds and beautiful areas <br />surrounded by homes. While driving in the city I have also enjoyed new plantings of <br />young trees on boulevards and flowers planted in the parks. This brought to mind a full <br />appreciation for the former and present city staff who have made all this happen. <br />When working as solid waste coordinator for the city, several years ago, I saw city staff <br />working extremely long hours and really giving of themselves for the community. I have <br />never seen this type of giving by employees elsewhere, including my employment by a <br />large corporation for ten years and in my current state position. <br />I would like to suggest the development of a Mayor's community award for city staff and <br />volunteers. I would be willing to do the work to organize a committee to help nominate <br />people for the awards. Giving this type of recognition would give positive press for the <br />. community. Also it would help bring the presence of city hall out into the community by <br />recognizing people and activities that are occurring in their neighborhoods. Because <br />city hall is on the northern part of the city many residents don't know where it is located. <br />Thank you for taking time out of you busy schedule to read this letter. You can reach <br />me at 627-4643 (work). or 481-0041 (home) if you would like to discuss this further. I <br />look forward to your reply. <br />Sincerely, <br />n Kurk <br />
