RE: Transportation Advisory Board
Dear Mayor Kennedy;
I am interested in becoming a member of the Transportation Advisory Board. It is a very
dynamic time in our valley and transportation issues are becoming increasingly complex.
I am interested in how the challenges will be addressed and feel my background and
experience will be helpful to the board.
I was raised in Kalispell and my father was a project manager for the MDT. After
graduating from Flathead High in 19811 completed a four year enlistment in the Marine
Corp. I then earned an AAS degree in surveying from FVCC and a BS degree in civil
engineering from MSU. My relevant work experience includes two years with the MDT
and working for consulting firms in Missoula and Kalispell. In 2003 1 started my own
consulting and water system operation business. Although my primary area of expertise
is not transportation engineering, I have been involved in many projects with
transportation related components and have a good understanding of factors involved in
infrastructure issues.
I appreciate your consideration and look forward to your reply.
Sincerely,
Mark J. Munsinger, PE
Cc: Jinn Patrick, City Manager

I know you have openings in the Street Tree Commission and the Technical
Advisory Commission. I am not sere my background would serve these areas
specifically but wanted to flake this opportunity to send a letter for future needs
you may have.
At the present time, I work part time from home as a part owner in a consulting
firm that provides grant writing assistance and general market research
assistance to clients. Prior to working from home I managed the operations of a
health plan in Minneapolis, Minnesota and worked as a senior consultant in a
consulting firm serving health care organizations throughout the Midwest. My
education consists of a M.B.A. from the University of St. Thomas, St. Paul,
Minnesota.
We recently relocated to Kalispell from Missoula the fall of 2004. The current
and planned growth for this area is exciting and I want to help where I can. I
thought it useful to send a letter of interest in the event you may have a need that
fits my qua liftcationsfbackground.
