Thank you for the <br />information and opportunity to apply. I have included my responses to all the questions <br />below. <br />Thank you! <br />Lynette <br />Tell us a bit about yourself- how long have you lived in Hugo? How else have you been <br />involved in the community? <br />I have lived in Hugo for 11 years in the Waters Edge community. I previously served on the <br />Hugo Historical Commission and am currently on the Hopkins School House committee. I <br />also previously participated in a focus group about Hugo park planning and potential <br />amenities. <br />Are you interested in helping to design the playground or the pavilion? <br />I'm interested in helping to design the pavilion. <br />How frequently do you use Hugo parks and for what activities? <br />I honestly use them less than I'd like. I like the idea of using trails since I do a lot of walking, <br />but typically use the paths in my Waters Edge Community. I have participated in some parks <br />and recreation offerings (e.g, movie night at Oneka Elementary), but they were not in parks. I <br />also have previously attended Good Neighbor Days on a few occasions, but haven't attended <br />more frequently since I'm more likely to find a greater number and somewhat more cultivated <br />adult offerings in White Bear Lake (e.g., Marketfest). I would like to visit the parks more <br />frequently, which is why I would like to contribute to this committee. <br />What do you plan to contribute to the design of the park? <br />I think the Lions Park redevelopment is a great opportunity to reimagine Lions Park and Hugo <br />as an event destination for both Hugo residents and those beyond our borders. However, the <br />facilities need to be available and functional for multiple uses. In addition to the other typical <br />potential uses for the park, such as ball games, playground use, etc., I think it would be great if <br />the park could be the site of new high quality events/festivals that might appeal to some newer <br />residents and perhaps those in neighboring communities as well. This would also hopefully <br />benefit local businesses. <br />Do you have any special interests or applicable skills/qualifications that you would like the <br />Council to know about? <br />I have more special interests than skills. I love living in Hugo and would like to see it <br />flourish. I have burgeoning interests in event planning although not a lot of experience <br />(although have volunteered for events). However, I look forward to the possibility to <br />contribute in any way that I can. <br />Lynette Anderson- pavilion
