Dear Donald:
Thank you for your letter and enclosures of June 2, 2003.
As one of the council goals for 2003, a review of the City Charter is being considered. At this
point, we have not yet established the timeline or procedure but I will pass along a copy of your
letter to Mayor Alan DeBoer, and Gino Grimaldi, City Administrator, for their consideration if a
review committee is formed in the future. We will keep you informed of our progress in this
regard.
We appreciate you taking the time to write and for your interest in this possible future review
committee.

Dear Ms. Berteau
It is my understanding that the City Council has adopted, as one
of its goals for 2003, a review of the City Charter. It is also
my understanding that a committee will be formed to conduct this
review and recommend changes to have the Charter match the times
and future needs of the City. As an 8 year resident of Ashland,
interested in the effective operation of the City, I would be
pleased to be considered to serve on this committee.
My professional career has spanned some forty-five years, during
which I held engineering and management positions in private
sector firms, government agencies and non-profit research
organizations. I believe the knowledge gained while serving in
these institutions, in terms of efficient organizational
structure and effective resource utilization, can be of benefit
to the Charter review and recommendation process.
For your information, I have enclosed a copy of my resume' which
may help to assess my qualifications to serve on the Charter
review committee.
Should you have a need for further information, please feel free
to contact me by telephone at 482-2222, or by e-mail at
donml@internetcds.com.

Sincerely
Donald R. Montg~~
While on loan from JPL, Mr. Montgomery also served on the staff of the
Oceanographer of the Navy, where he was responsible for establishing an
applied research program for SAR to support Arctic submarine operations
and littoral warfare. While in this capacity, Mr. Montgomery established
a cooperative SAR research program with the Norwegian Defence Research
Establishment focused on the use of SAR in coastal oceanography,
including SAR-derived seabed topography and surf conditions.
In recent years Mr. Montgomery has supported NOAA in the use of space-
based SAR in environmental applications. As an element of this work, Mr.
Montgomery established an Interagency SAR Working Group to identify
applications of space-based SAR which support the operations of
Government Agencies, and to define requirements for future SAR systems
which could satisfy these Agency operations. Mr. Montgomery is currently
supporting NOAA in the conduct of experiments to determine the utility
of space-based SAR in fisheries enforcement applications. These
experiments involve the use of SAR in ship, wake and driftnet detection
methods, as well as detecting land surface changes that affect the
habitat of salmon species of the Pacific Northwest. Mr. Montgomery
currently serves on the review board of the Canadian radar satellite
Radarsat-2 and supports NASA-sponsored radar research and applications.
Mr. Montgomery is a member of the Institute of Electrical and Electronic
Engineers, and is the recipient of 3 NASA Group Achievement awards.
Mr. Montgomery obtained the BSEE from the California Polytechnic State
University and an ~LA in Management from the University of Redlands.

PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE SUF~fARY
Mr. Montgomery is an engineer and pzogram manager with over 48 years
experience in the fields of aircraft radar design, slow-scan television
systems development, ocean remote sensing and space-based synthetic
aperture radar. Mr. Montgomery is currently a consultant to U.S. and
Canadian organizations involved in satellite-based radar systems and
environmental applications. Mr. Montgomery is well established in the
ocean remote sensing community and is internationally known for his work
in the application of satellite remote sensing applications to
commercial maritime, fishing and polar operations, as well as Navy
expeditionary missions. Mr. Montgomery has been a lecturer in ocean
remote sensing applications at George Washington University and the U.S.
Naval Academy, and is an advisor to the South Pacific Applied
Geosciences Commission.
Mr. Montgomery's early work with the Bendix Corporation involved
development of aircraft terrain clearance radar systems and radar
beacons. Upon joining the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Mr. Montgomery was
engaged in the development of slow-scan television systems for lunar and
planetary missions, and managed the development of the cameras for the
Surveyor lunar landing spacecraft, the Mariner 6&7 spacecraft to Mars
and the Viking Orbiter spacecraft. Temporarily assigned to NASA
Headquarters in Washington, D.C., Mr. Montgomery was deputy to the
Seasat program manager and responsible for the formation and management
of a commercial users program, devoted to assessing the utility and
economic benefits of Seasat data in commercial applications involving
such sectors as off-shore oil and gas, commercial fishing, ocean mining,
ship routing and private weather forecasting. As a component of this
program, Mr. Montgomery engaged in a demonstration program providing
satellite-derived ocean color products to commercial fishermen as an aid
in defining productive fishing areas.
In 1984 Mr. Montgomery was provided, on a loan basis, to the National
Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), to serve as the first
director of the Office of Ocean Services, responsible for establishing
regional ocean service centers and providing ocean condition and marine
weather data in support of research and operations. While at NOAA, Mr.
Montgomery introduced the use of space-based synthetic aperture radar
(SAR) to marine users and led the effort to incorporate SAR as an
operational tool at the National Ice Center (NIC) in support of both
commercial and Navy polar operations. Mr. Montgomery initiated the
formation of the U.S.-Canada Ice Working Group and was instrumental in
establishing a real time data exchange capability between the NIC and
Ice Center Environment Canada.
While on loan from JPL, Mr. Montgomery also served on the staff of the
Oceanographer of the Navy, where he was responsible for establishing an
applied research program for SAR to support Arctic submarine operations
and littoral warfare. While in this capacity, Mr. Montgomery established
a cooperative SAR research program with the Norwegian Defence Research
Establishment focused on the use of SAR in coastal oceanography,
including SAR-derived seabed topography and surf conditions.
