RE: City Council Position #6
LETTER OF INTEREST
To Whom It May Concern:
I would greatly like to be appointed to fill the vacancy on the City Council for Council
Position #6. I have been an Ashland resident for over a year.
Previously, I was appointed on the Talent City Council from 2011-12. Having to
discontinue my service to the City due to the responsibility of spending more time at
home raising my daughter.
Now that my daughter is more self sufficient, as a young teenager, I would very much
like to have the opportunity to be a Councilor for the City of Ashland.
I feel that the biggest issues facing the City is the acceleration of growth through housing
development, usage of land and vehicle traffic. My experience as a committee member
through Urban Renewal and working with the Planning Commission Department
provided me opportunities to become familiar with Regional Planning and Zoning.
My primary motivation for seeking the vacant Council seat is to help improve the
community through awareness of pressing issues and to encourage public involvement.
Since moving to Ashland, my involvement with community and city activities has been
solely through activities at the Ashland High School; supporting my daughter with
Speech and Debate issues, volunteering as a judge and running my own business.
The role of a City Councilor is to act as a liaison between the city and the people who
reside in the city. Including, but not limited to, conducting the city's intergovernmental
affairs and vote on policies concerning the city.
It would be an honor to serve the community of Ashland as a City Councilor.
