<br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />City Administrator <br />City of Arden Hills <br />4364 West Round Lake Road <br />Arden Hills, MN 55112 <br /> <br />November 13, 2000 <br /> <br />Dear Arden Hills City Council, <br /> <br />Thank you for the opportunity to apply for a position on the Planning Commission. I <br />have enclosed an application for your review, along with a copy of my resume. <br /> <br />My most recent job centers around founding a small business (15 employees) that <br />services the medical device industry. My current company, known as RCRI, Inc., is a <br />very successful one, working with firms in Minnesota and throughout the U.S., and also <br />international companies, as they seek to obtain marketing approval from government <br />agencies, worldwide, to sell their medical device products. Being a business owner has <br />enabled me to further grow my business and management skills that I have acquired over <br />the past 20 plus years. <br /> <br />Additional business experience not noted on my resume includes managing a <br />condominium association for a 50-unit complex in Coon Rapids from about 1985 -1988 <br />(I was president for about 2 years). During this time, I implemented a savings plan for <br />the complex, and also established the successful relationship they still have in place with <br />a professional management company that maintains their bookkeeping and service <br />agreements with various vendors, etc. The time during which I became president of the <br />association was a transitional period, from developer to homeowners. There were several <br />legal matters to contend with, e.g., defective construction, siding, etc., as well as a lack of <br />adequate funds (homeowner fees) to correct the problems. Eventually, with the help of <br />the professional management firm, these matters were dealt with. <br /> <br />My husband and I moved to Arden Hills in 1988. Part of our attraction to this <br />community included the business development surrounding the area; that is, the sense <br />that the area had been developed in a mutually synergistic manner concerning the needs <br />ofresidential and commercial properties. We continue to enjoy the area, and are <br />committed to helping to maintain its prosperity and safety. <br /> <br />Once again, thanks for your consideration. I look forward to hearing from you. <br /> <br /> <br />_.~-_.----_.._.__._- <br /> <br />----~._---~--_._---_._-_.---_.. ---_.-._--~..-~ <br />
