List any government, service organization, or professional activities which you have been or are currently involved in: City of Ramsey Towne Center State of Minnesota Governor's Task Force on Professional Basketball, 1992 Super Bowl VIP/Promotions Committees, 1991 NCAA Final Four Committee, 2005 Transplant Games (U of Minnesota), Schwans Cup Youth Soccer Volunteer (thru Qwest Communication community services) Please briefly state why you want to serve on a City board or commission: To give back to the community and help shape its foundation for the near future List any special background, strengths, or abilities you would bring to a board or commission: Leadership, communication and promoting skills Briefly describe the strengths of Ramsey today: Suburban living yet very close to urban center. City with a lot of potential to be one of the largest growing communities in the metropolitan area. Briefly describe the weaknesses of Ramsey today: Bad publicity with failures of Towne Center development and community parking ramp with little usage (this will change with Northstar station coming in shortly) Briefly describe Ramsey as you believe it should be 10 years from now: Double in population yet still able to sustain itself with little or no increase of taxes for citizens. With aging population we must also have in place facilities, activities and transportation for seniors. With Northstar service stopping in Ramsey I see future business development as being good if promoted the right way List any specific goals and/or objectives you visualize for the City: Continued development of jobs, transportation and recreational facilities. We still need to keep focus on maintaining the city's natural resources (trees, ponds and streams) with future real estate development Have you ever served on a board or commission?
