Applicafts. Kathleen Cassen Mickelson <br />Parks Roseville <br />Application Attachment #3: Reasons for Wanting to ServJ <br />I would like to serge as a member of the Parks and Recreation Commission <br />to help make thoughtful and fair decisions that will broadly affect the <br />quality of life in Roseville. <br />My desire to serve is based on my own belief that citizens must work for <br />the betterment of their community with whatever skills they are able to <br />offer. Well-organized people or good team players might do well on <br />boards, commissions or committees. Those skilled at working with youth <br />might make good coaches. People knowledgeable about the environment <br />may fit in at the local nature center. <br />also believe citizens need to help support the services they use the most. <br />have used the Roseville Parks and Recreation Department's offerings <br />extensively during the past six gears. My family enjoys the parks and trails <br />in our city. My daughter has been in basketball, dance, t -ball, rear -ball, <br />soccer, skating, and nature center classes. Through my four years of <br />volunteer work at the Harriet Alexander Nature Center: l have become <br />familiar with many people who work for the city of Roseville. I understand <br />the enormous effort and organization required to offer Roseville residents <br />the opportunities that fill the Parks and Recreation catalogs each near. <br />I am keenly aware that decisions made now may affect how residents use <br />Rosevil le's many resources for years to come. Identification of community <br />needs through careful consideration of citizen input coupled with sound <br />knowledge of available resources is are essential part of any public debate. <br />Decisions cannot be based solely on emotional reactions to problems or <br />ideas. <br />I look forward to the chance to serve on the Parks and Recreation <br />Commission. An opportunity to serve is an opportunity to make a <br />difference. <br />
