MONTE~OMERY Ms. Fran Berteau City Hall 20 East Main Street Ashland, OR. 97520 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. Encl. 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. D.R. Montgomery, R.E. Wittenberg-Fay, R.W.

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.
