January 4, 2008 <br />Mayor Chuck Sisk <br />749 Main Street <br />Louisville CO 80027 <br />Dear Mayor Sisk: <br />~/4iA< I <br />GrT~ Ur f ~ 1~~R <br />aT1''°vR~t <br />GF <br />I am writing to express my interest in being appointed to a municipal board or commission for <br />2008. While I am interested and willing to serve in almost any capacity that the City Council sees <br />fit, •segen#he~g~Ce~iesien. <br />Professionally, I am aplanner who focuses on communication, public engagement and consensus <br />building in the infrastructure field. Through my professional experience, I know how important <br />sound planning and the deliberations of the planning commission are to the life of the community. <br />I also understand that the comprehensive plan and the planning commission are instrumental tools <br />for local democracy, providing citizens the opportunity to influence their own quality of life and <br />the character of their community. And as a consensus building and communications professional <br />who works in the infrastructure field, I know that planning commissions can be either the <br />battleground or the common ground for some of the most important and contentious issues in a <br />community. <br />The decisions the commission makes, in collaboration with the City Council and the citizens of <br />Louisville, and the way in which they make those decisions will have a profound impact on our <br />community. This awareness would engender in me a deep respect for the responsibility of a <br />planning commissioner and a recognition of the importance of balancing our responsibility to the <br />vision expressed in our comprehensive plan with an openness to our changing regional context. <br />Above all, I would respect the importance of having an open, constructive and ongoing dialogue <br />with the leaders and citizens of Louisville so that our vision remains relevant, our deliberations <br />build community and our decisions continue to capture our highest and best aspirations. <br />Thank you for your consideration as well as your service to the city. I have provided a resume for <br />your reference. I look forward to discussing my interest and qualifications for this position <br />further. <br />Sincerely, <br />L. -~ <br />Scott A.
