As you know the 9' member of the planning board serves as the member -at -large. This position can be filled by a resident living anywhere within the Planning Jurisdiction. The planning board has the responsibility of nominating the individual. This person must be confirmed by both the County Commission and the City Council. The process now starts over. Please review the packet of names submitted in your January Planning Board packet. I have listed the names, David Logan and John Parsons, to refresh your memory. These names were taken from those in the community who had expressed a desire and an interest in serving on your Board. In addition to those people who showed interest, the Board can nominate anyone else from the jurisdiction who, in the Board's opinion will be an asset to the Board.

R. D. O. I have just learned of a member -at -large opening on the Kalispell City -County Planning Board. If it is allowable at this late date, I would like to be considered for this position by the Planning Board. My wife and I have lived at 867 North Main Street with our two children since 1982. 1 am currently employed as a mathematics tutor by School District Five. Prior to my present job I worked two years as a carpenter for North Country Builders in Whitefish and fifteen years for the U.S. Forest Service. I graduated from Pennsylvania State University in 19W and have taken a year and a half of additional courses at the University of Montana and FVCC. My present community involvement is helping create an expanded Lawrence Park as an active member of Friends of Lawrence Park. We helped build a large, enjoyable park at considerable savings to the city. I ran for the state legislature in 1996. 1 was defeated but the effort increased my knowledge of the problems and concerns people in our community have. Over the last year I participated in creating the draft of the Kalispell City -County Master Plan 2020. This participation didn't make me a planning expert but did expose me to a variety of ideas and opinions concerning the Kalispell and Evergreen areas. I recognize that planning issues are often controversial but I believe I can maintain good working relationships with people whose ideas differ from my own. If appointed, will do my best to make fair, impartial decisions. Sincerely, j} 4�� _ KttU,_ Richard A.
