LAURIE OHMANN SCHLEY 8423 Knollwood Drive Mounds View,MN 55112 612/785-1112 April 1, 1993 To Members of the City Council and the Planning Commission: Please consider the following information with my application to the Mounds View Planning Commission. Skills and Interests I hold a Master's degree in Planning with an emphasis in Land Use Planning from the University of Minnesota's Humphrey Institute of Public Affairs. Studies included Land Use Law,Real Estate Development and Planning Methodology. My interests include helping government become customer focused and increasing the dialogue between citizens and city hall (elected officials and professional employees). Employment,Occupation, or Other Experience I am a consultant with The Public Strategies Group,Inc. of St. Paul. The mission of our firm is to help create the most effective public sector possible. Our goals include trans- forming government units into creative enterprises which excel in serving their custo- mers, are focused on producing measurable results, and create more value at less cost. Formerly, I was a development assistant for Powderhorn Community Council in South Minneapolis. While there I worked to develop single family homes on scattered sites throughout eight neighborhoods in addition to developing special housing projects for low income foster families and low income families providing child care. Memberships,Accomplishments, or Other Qualifications At the Humphrey Institute,I was given a Student Public Service Award from the Association of Public Administrators and was awarded the Student Leadership Award by the Humphrey Institute Alumni. I am currently a member of Mounds View's Charter Commission. Reason for Wanting to Serve on this Committee In my occupation,I am largely involved with strategic planning for public organizations. I feel the skills I developed while obtaining my degree and in previous employment are relevant to the duties of the Planning Commission. Serving on the Planning Commission would allow me to utilize those skills to benefit the community in which I live.
