I own a home here, shop at our local stores and plan to raise <br />my children in this city. Although I wasn't born here, Roseville has become my home. Because of this, I think <br />it is important to be a part of our city's future. At a time where our population is aging and economy is <br />struggling, I am hoping to help guide the city towards a successful and sustainable future. <br />What is your view of the role of this Commission/ Board?: I believe that the City of Roseville Planning <br />Commission plays and important part in identifying and addressing issues related to city planning. The <br />Commission's role is to provide businesses, developers and the citizens of Roseville an opportunity to share <br />their concerns and suggestions around city planning proposals. When all sides have had an opportunity to <br />explain their views, it is the job of the Planning Commission to make a final recommendation to the City <br />Council. <br />Any further information you would like the City Council to consider or that you feel is relevant to the <br />appointment or reappointment you are seeking.: I have extensive experience working with state and local <br />officials, constituents and the general public. In addition, I have studied city planning in both my undergraduate <br />and graduate coursework. I believe my experience and dedication to the city of Roseville will make me an asset <br />to the Roseville Planning Commission. <br />I understand that information provided in this application may be distributed by the City to the public including, <br />but not limited to, being posted on the City of Roseville website.
