DOC December 5, 2017 Andover City Council 1685 Crosstown Boulevard NW Andover, MN 55304 Dear Andover City Council Members, As a current Park and Recreation Commissioner and longtime resident,of Andover with extensive experience in volunteer committee work, I hope to continue serving my city for another term. I feel that I am an asset to the Park and Recreation Advisory Commission due to my leadership on the Program Steering Committee at PACT Charter School in Ramsey, where I served three years as vice chairperson and four years as chairperson. During my time as committee chair I also served on multiple task forces, including expansion planning and mission / vision development. In addition to my volunteer work at PACT, have served in leadership roles in outreach and missions programs at Grace Lutheran Church in Andover. My family moved to Andover in the early 1970's and I have lived here nearly all of my life. I am so proud to live in a city where the integrity and character of the city is an obvious priority as it grows and develops. My husband, three children and I have enjoyed Andover parks, nature trails, YMCA /Community Center, athletic fields and facilities greatly over the years. I welcome the opportunity to meet with the Council to further discuss continuing to serve the city of Andover. I believe my experience has given me the skills to make a valuable contribution to our community. Sincerely, Dawn Perra IQ (0= 1-17--18 RECEIVED DEC 9 07 1685 CROSSTOWN BOULEVARD N.W. • ANDOVER.

LEADERSHIP Directing the activities of the City for four years and 30 years of retail management have given me great opportunities to pioneer paths and inspire others.

Council Member for the City of Andover/ 1974-1978 3 year term on Anoka City Beautification Committee • Involvement with City of Anoka on downtown Road/ Sidewalk improvement project • Member of Mayor Sjogquist's Rivertown Development Grant Allocation Committee Mayor and Council Members of the City of Andover: Attached are my application and.resume for your consideration in placing me on the Planning and Zoning Commission. I am uniquely suited to serve because I am a former member of the Planning and Zoning Commission. During my term, we created the first Comprehensive Plan for the City, mandated by law, and assisted by Otto Schmidt, one of the foremost planners in the State. He had worked Region 7 West and proved to be a far sighted, enlightened guide through the process. Our plan was very progressive and in compliance with Metropolitan Council policies intended to make the best use of the land and to slow the runaway, random development occurring at the time. We also prepared a financial capital improvement plan and began working on ordinances to drive the plans. I also served a four year term on the Andover City Council during which some of the most progressive, responsible growth was experienced in our community. The beginning of the business corridor along Bunker Lake Blvd., the development of the walking trails and MSAH roadways; good, plentiful parks and improved lot and road standards were all worked on while I was on the Council. The first municipal water and sewer projects were installed during that time. Subsequently, for 30 years I owned and operated a retail business in Anoka which grew to 5 times its size under my tutelage. Sometimes, I was able to provide input on projects which affected the downtown Anoka community. I served on several Anoka committees but was always careful to avoid any that would cause a conflict of interest. My tenure as a board member on the Anoka Area Chamber of Commerce and 30 year membership with that organization were helpful in improving the business community. I have always believed that the community is best served by paying singular attention not to one property or individual, but to the community as a whole. Exposure to both business law and municipal government operation has given me an understanding of policy and protocol, and insight into the multi faceted responsibilities of running a City. Also, my attendance at the recent WDE landfill public hearing reminded me that some of my earlier experiences have historical merit. I am very proud of the fine community Andover has become. As a citizen of 45 years I am a beneficiary of the work of the dedicated people who have made positive contributions towards furthering the good foundation that was established in the beginning days. Improving and upholding ordinances, maintaining a Building Department that enforces compliance with the State Building Code, and the attention to creating a safe environment for all have shown that our City is being run well and definitely deserves its r putation as one of the finer communities in Minnesota. My thanks to all who have devoted e andoort for the betterment of the wonderful City of Andover. v L,��Mary C.
