Craig Dawson, City Administrator
I am interested in a position on the Shorewood Planning Commission. I am
self-employed and a 12 year Shorewood resident.
As a degreed engineer, I have experience in numerous capacities including
project planning, design and construction, safety and environmental,
marketing and business development, sales, and business unit management.
Last year I started my own company, "Finishing Solutions Incorporated." I
currently import high performance industrial coatings from Italy. I market
these products through a network of industrial building material distributors
nationwide. I travel about 25% of the time, but can schedule my trips so as
not to miss planning commission meetings. All work experience except is past
year of self employment is shown in detail on the attached copy of my resume.
Please call or e-mail me if you are interested in discussing this further.
Sincerely,
Jake Miller

Craig,
My name is Tim Beduhn and I would like to inquire about the Shorewood Park Commission. I am on the South
Tonka Little League Board of Directors as the Operations Director and I am concerned about the relationship
between STLL and the city of Shorewood.
I would have contacted you last week but I was on vacation with my family and Catie Arnst ( Pat's daughter).
She has been very involved in the babysitting of my 3 kids now for almost 5 years!
Pat Arnst and I have had several conversations about what is happening within the Commission itself and I feel
that I could be an asset to the Commission for several years to come.
I have lived in Shorewood now for five years and graduated from Minnetonka High School in 1984. I grew up in
Tonka Bay and have lived in the area my entire life. I have been married to my wife, Linda, now for 12 years and
have 3 kids at Minnewashta Elementary. My son and I have been very involved with STLL now for 5 years and
my younger kids will be starting to play this summer. All 3 of my kids are and will continue to be involved in the
community through baseball, basketball, soccer, chess club and other school activities.
I would like to be considered for the Commission and would be happy to discuss this further with you.
Sincerely,
Tim Beduhn
