I think this is an excellent chance to be involved with <br />how Roseville shapes it’s future. I haven’t been in Roseville that long, but I moved here because I like <br />how Roseville does business. I love the parks, walkways and bike paths all over town. I think this is a <br />great place to live, and I want to be involved in making it even better. <br />What is your view of the role of this Commission? <br />As these are advisory commissions, I would view the primary role as to advice the city council, mayor, <br />and city manager on citizen input. It’s important, and sometimes difficult, for elected officials to sort <br />through what is genuine concern, and what is noise. An advisory commission can be helpful in that <br />regard. An advisory commission can also serve to bring ideas forward on what’s happening in the city, <br />and new ideas of how to keep the city moving forward. <br />What specific skills or experiences do you have that would be beneficial in serving on the advisory <br />commission for which you are applying? <br /> I’ve worked in government much of my life, I’ve worked a a business analyst and project manager in <br />government, I’ve got a masters in public policy, and I’ve spent hundreds of hours volunteering in the <br />community. I understand that a city is a collection of different voices finding a way forward. I’m familiar <br />with policy and data analysis, and while I don’t expect to be doing those in an advisory role, I think it’s <br />really important to understand those tools and how they show what may or may not work, and what <br />picture the data is really showing. I understand how state and federal regulation and funding may <br />dictate how planning is done, and projects are carried out. I’m effective at working within that construct <br /> <br />
