Commissioners, who are obviously appointed by the Court, the City Council, who are elected by <br />the residents, and the City. <br />My business background as a business owner obviously requires interacting with a wide <br />spectrum of individuals, and my ability to work successfully to the benefit of the individual and <br />my business would serve me well as a Charter Commissioner. As a Commissioner, I would <br />work to ensure the citizen's rights provided by the Charter are maintained, but also at the same <br />time partner with the elected officials to ensure the Charter's governance guidelines are allowing <br />them to serve the residents and businesses demands, expectations, and needs from both a policy <br />and financial perspective. <br />In closing and my apologies for being repetitive, the successful operation of a home rule charter <br />city appears to be very reliant on a true partnership between the elected officials, staff, and court <br />appointed Commissioners, and without a collaborative partnership between the entities the City <br />will not provide services to its residents and businesses in a satisfactory manner. Owning and <br />operating a business, whose success is based on successful partnership between itself and its <br />customer, I have the skills to serve as a Charter Commissioner who will help ensure this is a <br />successful collaboration and partnership between the three entities. <br />Again, my apologies for the lateness in submitting my application. <br />Sincerelif <br />y, <br />Aaron Pratt <br />2 <br />
