So, you will have to appoint another councilman to replace me.. I suggest Councilma n Ron Vanyatta, he has the type of back- ground that would fit well on that board® But whoever you appoint I will be -lad to turn over to him my files accumulated duringmytenure on the Board. it is an inter- esting assignment. At the same time I would like you to consider appointing me to the vacancy on the City s -oli3e Commission. I feel that with My background in law en-fordemtnt 1 could very adequately serve in that capacity. "My credentials are: (1) After my graduation from the School of +4aw of C':'Xonzaga University in 1941 1 joined the, Federal Federal Bureau of investigation as a Special A gent. I served in that capacity for twenty seven Years; almost twenty of those years was as a Resident Agent out of the Butte office in Kalispell. During the period from 1947 to 1968 1 was a qualified police instructor in general and legal sugjAects and as a firearms instructor., I was ev4ryactive in the formation of the 'aw 'Tnforaement Academies in both luontana and ldahoand taught regularly in both those schools regularly until my retirement in 1968. (2) -Following my retirement from the !FBI I entefed private law practice in Kalispell with -Forrest Rockwood and "4arshall LT. u-r r a y Shortly thereafter I was appointed the City for -n-alispell by the late 'llayor La rry 3.jorneby and served the city as a part-time City Attorney w1ile also carrying on my private law practice® In 1977 when the duties of the City Attorney had expanded I quit my private law practice and was itallspell's first full-time City Attorney.. I served in that capacity until January 1, 1982 when -L resigned upon the election of 111a:.,,or LeRoy McDowell. Shortly thereafter justice of peace llnrary Reidell died and I filled out the remaining nine months of her term as 14ustiae of the :peace for -,,lathead County® I did not runfor election® M (3) Following my short term as Justice of Peace I did not wish to resume my private la w practice out did occasionally act as a n aruitrator or mediator for local attorneys. (4) 1 have been a resident of 11-alispell for over fifty years and have been active in many local activies and projects. I am a past president of the k�alispell Rotary Club, out no longer am a memberof notary®. (b) I was elected to the -"alispell City Council from Q✓71!ard #2 in 1995 and have served four years in that capacity. You have o,een able to observe my service for the past two years. I feel that my long and -,.,aried experience in lww enforcement makes me particularly qualified to serve on the Kalispell loli,-.e Commission.. You will recall that it is directly ',-,he result of my "nagging" that the lolice Commission has again become active and is serving its proper duties after many years of neglect by the prior city achministration. b e s, c t fu 11 y s it ted 14, V o ert !Donahue November 8, 1999 Sandi Grob 1135 4' Ave W.

As a resident of Kalispell, I am interested in how our law enforcement works with us. I have had the chance to work with the QRU/SWAT team several times by acting as a bad guy.

I would greatly appreciate the opportunity to serve the city in this capacity. Sincerely, Joseph A Watts
