Dear Selection Committee,
I am applying for consideration as THE CITY COUNCIL POSITION #6, which expires
on December 31, 2018. 1 am a registered Republican and I live within Ashland City
Limits.
My mailing address/or mail pick up is through THE ASHLAND
COMMUNITY RESOURCE CENTER ON Siskiyou Blvd., Ashland, OR.
I have been a ROGUE COMMUNITY COLLEGE Student and I am a Jackson County
Public Library consumer. In the past, I have been a volunteer Literacy/Library
elf/Summer Reading Program for young readers volunteer at a few of the local libraries
including Shady Cove, Rogue River, Talent and Gold Hill.
In the Ashland Daily Tidings issue for Monday April 2, 2018 you asked for answers to
these question:
*What are the biggest issues facing the CITY OF ASHLAND?
The CITY OF ASHLAND? local Police and Emergency Services do NOT
understand what FIRST FRIDAY GALLERY WALKS ARE AND Their, local Police and
Emergency Services Personnel, misinterpretation and miscomprehension is
horrible. The local Police and Emergency Services Personnel whose ignorance
confuses a church goer, such as myself, I am a Christian Episcopalian, with a
homeless/aggressive drug-using felon, is just disgusting. The CITY OF ASHLAND must
do better than this.
*What is MY PRIMARY motivation for seeking the vacant council seat?
I support the local LISTENING POSTS Brought to Ashland by the Jackson
County Library Foundation; and I support the Ashland Peace Commission JOBS FOR
JUSTICE SOCIAL ACTION COMMITTEE. The CITY OF ASHLAND must do better
if The CITY OF ASHLAND wants to maintain its' A.A.A. rating as a friendly, positive
place to have people from out of state or out of The CITY OF ASHLAND come to visit &
enjoy.
*What community and city activities have you been involved in recently? I
support The CITY OF ASHLAND's Parks & recreation department. I believe strongly
that The CITY OF ASHLAND's Senior Center and The North Mountain Nature Park,
which is used by THE BOY SCOUTS AND GIRL SCOUTS of America must be securely
funded and both places fully supported by the administration of The CITY OF
ASHLAND.
*What is the role of the city councilor?
I believe the role of the city councilor is to be open-minded, fair in judging issues, &
impartial when possible.
Thank you for your consideration. I hope to hear from you soon.
Sincerely,
Josephina Sarah Baker
