Barbara,
As requested, attached is a completed application for my consideration for volunteer City Council positions.
I have requested either of two choices, Planning (first choice) of Forest. However, if these are are not available
I would be willing to consider most anything else. After visiting Ashland as part-timers since the late nineties,
we have finally made Ashland our full time home. I would love to participate in the community in any way
possible.
Please give me a call if you need anything more from me.
Thanks
Shel (602-538-9717)

Subject: Commission appointments
Last December I applied for a position on the city Budget Committee which was subsequently
filled.
From the city web-site I see there are a number of volunteer positions available, many of which
I might be qualified for.
I am most interested in the positions for the Planning Commission or Forest Lands
Commission.
Do I need to complete another application?
Please let me know.
Thank you
Shel Silverberg
