Appointment of new City Council member at January 14, 2020 City Council meeting. <br />Name* <br />Dave Colling <br />Email Address* <br />Address* <br />2708 27th Ave NE <br />City* <br />St. Anthony <br />State* <br />MN <br />Zip Code* <br />55418 <br />Phone Number* <br />Why are you interested in this opportunity? <br />For decades our city has been a policy leader but for the last several years St. Anthony has been more of a follower than a <br />leader when it comes to creating proactive policies While cities all around us, big and small, have proactively created policies <br />and strategies to deal with issues of housing, business development, and community involvement, St Anthony has been more <br />reactive. I want to work with leaders within our community and from other cities and organizations to identify the best, most <br />innovative, and proven policies to move our community forward. <br /> <br />I think the city must do more engagement with the community. The city can be more proactive in engaging with the community, <br />and I have many years of experience successfully doing that. <br />What St. Anthony community activities have you been involved in? <br />I have been involved in many activities in my time living in St. Anthony. I was engaged with my neighbors living in Lowry Grove <br />trying to help them keep their housing, the only truly affordable housing in the city. I worked closely with my SOSA neighbors <br />to ensure that the development at the Lowry Grove site fit with what our neighborhood wanted and what we felt was the best <br />and safest use of the land. I have doorknocked and talked to hundreds of residents about their concerns in the city when I ran <br />for City Council 2 years ago. My son is a student at Wilshire Park Elementry and I have attended many events at the school. <br />Print <br />City Council Appointment Application - Submission #1551 <br />Date Submitted: 12/8/2019
