Dear Andover City Commission.,
I'd like to apply for the Andover Community Planning Commission position.
Reason and Rationale.
I've been working as a licensed addiction counselor and therapist for nearly 20 years and 1
believe that a great deal of my client's problems come from the lack of community involvement
in their lives. While this position may not exactly aid in reducing the amount of chemical and
mental health issues and, along with those, the possible criminal activities that are often
associated with such, I believe that I could possible lend some of my experience to the
committee in bettering what we, as Andover citizens and neighbors, can offer others. My key
interest is the betterment of the community as a stronger community builds a stronger future for
all of us.
Education and experience.
Education wise, I have six college degrees, the fields I've studies are History, Philosophy,
Ecology, Astronomy, English, Psychology and Sociology. I have my Masters in Social Work
from Augsburg and plan on going for my Psyl] in depth psychology (that's a long story).
Experience.
I don't have any experience in politics. Frankly, I don't really want any. I'm a community
member mid I'd rather not see more of my neighbors and community members go through so
much of what my clients have gone through. I don't have any particular political axe to grind and
my intentions are to build a conununity that my children can grow and thrive within.
I do more listening than talking, attempting to help others understand and clarify their thoughts
and behaviors. Stated above, I don't have any experience in the political arena. I'm applying for
the position for my community, where I live and raise my children in.
Professional, Civic, and Community Activities.
I volunteered for a year of AmeriCorps in Indiana. We conducted enviromnental education and
working with children in their neighborhoods to raise awareness on recycling mid conservation
topics.
Warren Fxxtze, MSW, LICSIN, LADC, CGC
OBJECTiV EMUMMARY
To my future employer, i will bring my experience, dedication, willingness to learn and grow, and education to
work with my clients towards the goals ofrecovery from their mental health issues and addiction issues and also to
help them forge morea. balanced, chemical -free, and healthy way of thinking and living.

Dear Human Resources Manager:
The Open Space Advisory Commissioner position fits my experience and
qualifications perfectly, and I am writing to express my interest in continuing with
the position. I would like to apply what I've learned the past three years to

Please state your reasons for requesting to be on the advisory commission checked above:
There are several reasons I look forward to continuing to serve the City of Andover on its
Park & Recreation commission. First, I think that (second perhaps only to having quality
schools) parks and recreational opportunities are a key driver when prospective residents
evaluate the desirability of living in a community. It is therefore important to meet not just
the needs of current residents but also to plan for the future. Second, I look forward to the
challenge of trying to meet changing needs of our park users. For example, Andover's
growing senior population will have different uses for parks than youth athletic associations
which have driven many of our priorities and remain an important user group. Third, it's
important that as Andover matures we consider how best to maintain our assets and budget
for the costs of maintaining and replacing what we have.
Describe your education/experience, which qualifies you to serve on this commission:
I try to apply my skills as a finance manager and administrator at the University of
Minnesota in planning, budgeting, and adjusting to unforeseen circumstances. My
experience tells me that it's important to have a plan but that a plan should not be seen as
ironclad or set in stone. I feel during my tenure on the parks commission we have tried to
balance long term planning and meeting emerging needs.
Describe your professional, civic or community activities, which may be relevant to
this commission:

Dear Mayor Trude & the Andover City Council,
I would very much like to be considered for a third term on the Andover Planning &
Zoning Commission.
Over the past three years, I have learned a great deal from participating in Planning &
Zoning meetings, as well as from watching the ultimate decisions made by City Council
and the process used to arrive at these decisions. I believe I am a bett�r Commissioner
now than I was three years ago. I hope to be better yet at the end of the next three years,
with your appointment.
I have attached my business resume, as it might have some relation and bearing on the
Planning and Zoning Commission. Additionally, I have followed Planning and Zoning
online discussions from other cities, in an effort to become a more well-rounded
participant on the Commission.
I look forward to an interview with the City Council, should you find my application
worth consideration.
Thank you for your time in this matter.
Sincerely yours,

I am submitting my application for the open Advisory Commission position. I am a licensed Dental
hygienist working locally and treat many of the people in our community. When my patients learn
how much I care about not only them, but the community as a whole, several have encouraged me
to become more active in the local government.
Public policy is very interesting, and as a local resident it also impacts my daily life. Im very aware of
the legal requirements for infection control, licensing in this state; as well as some of the legal
regulations for radiation, and hazardous waste as it pertains to dental practice. While my knowledge
is more specific it demonstrates an ability to learn and adapt to ever changing legal and
environmental regulations.
I have excellent communication skills that I utilize everyday to help my patients. As you can imagine
people can have a strong dislike for the dental office, so I have to utilize very strong interpersonal
communication skills to overcome people's fears and encourage behavioral changes. This also
demonstrates my ability to interact with all ethnicities and socioeconomic groups. Everyone has a
mouth. Communication is key for me to help with positive decision making in the forms of a person
making better choices or on a larger scale Park Dental my employer. I have often been included in
pilot tests that impact if we will adapt new equipment or procedures to all 45 of our locations. With
simple digital x ray sensors costing around $10,000 each its clear how critical pilot tests are to test
cost, quality and patient Impact before company wide roll out.
