• December 11 , 1995 <br /> Mr. Mike Mornson <br /> City Manager <br /> City of St. Anthony Village <br /> 3301 Silver Lake Road N. E. <br /> St. Anthony, MN 55418 <br /> Dear Mr. Mornson; <br /> Please accept this letter and the attached resume as my <br /> application for the open position on the St. Anthony Planning <br /> Commission. I believe that my skills and background would be an <br /> asset to the commission and to St. Anthony. <br /> The resume describes my rormal career experience: Administrator <br /> at Encompass, Inc. , an investigative engineering firm involved <br /> in the analysis of building failures and the negotiation and <br /> settlement of construction and development disputes; County <br /> Extension Agent specializing in the development and <br /> implementation of community-based programs; and a Community <br /> • Development officer in the Central American country of Belize. <br /> In performing these duties, I have had extensive contact with <br /> diverse groups of people in both informal and formal meeting <br /> situations. In all of these positions a significant portion of <br /> my responsibilities was to gather and analyze information, often <br /> with the input or legal and technical consultants, to come up <br /> with the best solution for all involved parties. I believe this <br /> would be a valuable asset as a Planning Commission member. <br /> In 1992 I left Encompass with the impending arrival of our second <br /> child. In the period since then, in addition to raising my <br /> family, I have been involved as a volunteer in community <br /> organizations and have provided computer-related consulting <br /> services for small-business clients. Examples of these <br /> activities are services related to the installation of cost- <br /> accounting systems at construction-related firms; serving on the <br /> Board of Directors of a pre-school program for low-income <br /> children funded by a coalition of churches; serving on the <br /> Building Restoration Committee of our church; and my current <br /> involvement with the Advisory Board of the ECFE (Early Childhood <br /> & Family Education) program in St. Anthony. <br /> It is my belief that the Planning Commission plays a pivotal role <br /> in the future of St. Anthony. St. Anthony has a unique set of <br /> circumstances as a small community within a larger metropolitan <br /> • area. The current tax base of St. Anthony needs to be expanded <br />
