Subject: Park Commission
Jean:
In October, I was appointed by the City Council to fill a vacancy on the Park Commission. I
didn't realize it at the time I was appointed, but my term is up next month. I went through the
orientation and there have only been two meetings of the Park Commission since I was
appointed (both of which I attended). I'm obviously interested in continuing on the Park
Commission since I just got started. Do I need to send a formal letter or will this email suffice?
My bio is attached. Thanks.

Subject: Attn Craig Dawson/Park Commission Opening
Good afternoon Mr. Dawson. I am interested in the open position on the Park Commission. I've been a resident for over
5 years and would like to start giving back to the community.
My professional background is in event marketing and promotions. I've spent the last 11 years working for Target in their
marketing department.
In my younger days I also worked seasonally for the Hopkins-Minnetonka Park and Recreation Department - 5 years as a
warming house attendant and 2 years as a supervisor of the ice rinks. I feel that experience will bring some perspective
to the commission as not only someone who uses the parks, but has also been involved with their operations.
Please feel free to contact me if you require any additional information.

Mr. Craig Dawson
City Administrator
City of Shorewood

Shorewood, MN 55331
Mr. Dawson, Mayor Love and City Council Members:
Please accept this letter as a formal request to serve the City of Shorewood as a member
of the Shorewood Planning Commission. Attached is a copy of my resume for your
reference.
Over the past seven years I have actively stayed informed of the issues and concerns that
have come before the Planning Commission by reading the posted minutes of each
session, attending meetings and on occasion making public statements to the Commission
on certain issues.
I feel strongly about giving back to the community and I am confident that I would be
able to effectively work with the current Planning Commission, City Staff, Mayor, City
Council members and the public in a professional and courteous manner.
My attention to detail, ability to think in abstract terms, patience, open mindedness,
willingness to listen, learn, and compromise are some of my strongest attributes that I
would bring to this role. I will make decisions based on the best interests of the
community as a whole, rather than those of an applicant or special-interest group.
Thank you for your consideration. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to
contact me. I look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,
Mt.e.4f
