�A Metropolitan Council <br />AA <br />May 2, 2011 <br />Patrick Klaers, Administrator <br />City Of Arden Hills <br />1245 Highway 96 W <br />Arden Hills, MN 55112 <br />Dear Patrick, <br />I'm pleased to introduce myself as the new District 10 Metropolitan Council Member. I look <br />forward to getting to know you, as well as other elected officials from communities within the <br />district. My goal is to partner with you and your colleagues to ensure the continued health and <br />vitality of our communities and the .efficient growth of the metropolitan area. <br />I am serving on the Council's Transportation and Environment Committees, although all <br />regional issues are of interest and important to me. One of my top priorities is helping to provide <br />local officials with the tools they need to create vibrant communities - -by connecting and <br />integrating the planning of transportation, schools, parks and other amenities to more efficiently <br />leverage our public investment as well as to promote livability and vitality within our <br />neighborhoods. <br />In addition, I want to echo the Governor's sentiments about jobs and job creation. Certainly the <br />Council, given its role in coordinating land use, transportation planning, transit operations, <br />wastewater treatment and housing affordability, can contribute significantly to economic <br />development and the creation of jobs. I am anxious to hear from you about how you think the <br />Council might advance these critical goals. <br />I would be happy to meet with you personally, attend local work sessions or council meetings, <br />and to meet with legislators within District 10 to discuss regional issues. Please free to contact <br />me with any questions or concerns at 763 - 233 -2479 or john.doanmetc.state.mn.us, or you can <br />reach the Council's sector representative for District 10, Lisa Barajas at 651.602.1895 or <br />Iisa.bar;asi 2i etc.state.rr . ,ss. <br />I look forward to working together with you on issues of mutual interest. <br />Sincerely, <br />John Q. loan <br />Metropolitan Council District 10 <br />www.metrocouncil.org <br />390 Robert Street North • St. Paul, MN 55101 -1805 • (651) 602 -1000 • Fax (651) 602 -1550 • TTY (651) 291 -0904 <br />Art Equal Opportunity Employer <br />
