Cpl Letters from Lino Lakes Residents I want to strongly encourage Lino Lakes residents to vote for Dan Stoltz for City Council. Dan has previ- ous City Council experience in Circle Pines and is currently the CFO of a large local credit union. Lino Lakes has a lot of critical issues confronting it over the next few years. I think we should entrust our future to a person who has the commitment, experi- ence and leadership necessary to make good decisions on behalf of Lino Lakes. We are truly blessed to have a person of Dan's talent willing to serve our community. Jennifer McCorkle Lino Lakes Sometimes missed opportunities can not be regained. We have an opportunity in this year's Lino Lakes City Council election in filling one of two Council seats. We can elect a person who I and others believe is an excellent choice. His name is Dan Stoltz. Dan will bring to the service of our City not only professional- ism, but also experience and above all no personal agenda other than a willingness to serve. I have known Dan Stoltz for over eight years. He has previously served as a council member in the City of Circle Pines and as a Centennial Utilities Commission member. Dan Stoltz is presently the Chief Financial Officer (CFO) of a ten branch Credit Union in the Twin Cities area. Do I believe he is in a position to be an analyst of our city's financial affairs? Of course I do, and I hope you believe he can be that person as well in assisting the council in setting sound financial policies for our city. Aside from the above I also believe Dan Stoltz to be a consensus builder, a team player who will not try to "micro manage" but rather work within the frame as a policy maker which is the role of an elected city council member. In addition Dan Stoltz will be true to his role as an elected official holding a non- partisan office and not let outside partisanship influence his decisions. I highly recommend Dan Stoltz. Please check Dan's qualifications and I hope you will consider voting for Dan on November 4th. Vern Reinert Former Mayor Lino Lakes In a recent Quad Press I was glad to see that Dan Stoltz is seeking to serve on the Lino Lakes City Council. I have known Dan and his family for more than 10 years and am confident of the positive contri- butions he will make as a member of the council. His commitment to the community is evidenced with his service on the Circle Pines City Council, leadership and involvement in a local church, and numerous other community services. When the opportunity came to move recently, Dan and his family's community ties were so deep they remained in the Centennial area, only moving from Circle Pines to Lino Lakes. I have had the privilege of seeing Dan operate in many different settings. He's a lifelong learner seeking to bet- ter himself as well as those around him. Many people talk about servant leadership, but Dan Stoltz practices it. He listens, analyzes, and acts. Most importantly, I have seen the wisdom, insight, and practicality that he brings to whatever issues or challenges that confront him. To the Lino Lakes City Council Dan brings a healthy balance of experiences. They include community ser- vice through the Circle Pines City Council and other boards and commissions, as well as fiscal leadership expertise in the private sector....experiences which would serve the residents of Lino Lakes well as we face the challenges of a growing city. Dan Stoltz is a great choice for Lino Lakes City Council. Joel Nelson Lino Lakes This past January I relocated my family from Arizona to Lino Lakes and had the wonderful fortune to become neighbors of Dan and Robin Stoltz and their three children. During the past year we have come to know the Stoltz's well and consider ourselves truly blessed to have become their neighbors and friends. Dan believes quite passionately that our community leaders must responsibly balance the need for residen- tial and commercial development while maintaining parks and trails as a prominent part of our heritage. The larger and ongoing challenge for elected officials is to maintain the level of services residents enjoy and have come to expect, while maintaining our current tax burden at reasonable levels. I am convinced that Dan will provide the vision and the leadership necessary to responsibly navigate the challenges that lie ahead for Lino Lakes and its citizens. It is with complete confidence that my wife and I will cast our votes for Dan Stoltz. William G. Wright Lino Lakes
