Mr. Marentette,

I am interested in serving on Traverse City’s Parks and Recreation Commission because I’ve spent my entire life enjoying everything that our city has to offer and I would like to take advantage of this opportunity to give back, and I believe I have the knowledge and skills necessary to serve the city well. If given the chance to serve, I will collaborate with my fellow commissioners in advising the City Commission of the importance of well-maintained, accessible, and highly-utilized parks in our city. Currently, I am only involved in our community in small ways in my private life as well as through my job, but until last year I was a volunteer DJ at WNMC, where I programmed a two-hour folk music show twice monthly for about three years. I bring a broad skill set from my professional background that I believe, when coupled with my lifelong knowledge and experience of the area, give me a unique perspective on our community and its needs. I look forward to speaking with you about this opportunity.

Respectfully,

Evan Dalley

Application to Become Involved

Mr. Marentette,

Please find attached my Application to Become Involved as well as a copy of my resume.

With respect to the questions on the application:

Why are you applying for a city board or committee seat?

I have been looking for a good opportunity to serve my community and each of these board commitments appearto be excellent fits for my skills and interests.

How do you believe your appointment would benefit the city?

One significant benefit from my appointment would be a reduced learning curve for getting up to speed with aboard's work. At a macro scale I have served on several boards in the past and understand the basics of boardwork and function. For the individual boards I am interested in serving in I have a background in energy, naturalareas management, and local food production. All of which would allow me to become a productive member of anyof these boards very quickly.

Describe your involvement in the community on a board/committee or in another volunteer capacity.

I have volunteered somewhat regularly at the State and Bijou theaters as well as with the Traverse City YoungProfessionals. I just recently began serving on the Northern Michigan Subcommittee of the Property ManagementAssociation of West Michigan.

Any other helpful information relevant to your application.

I have already reviewed the general schedules for each of the boards that I'm interested in serving on andconfirmed my availability for regular meeting times.

Should you need anything else or have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me.

Warm regards,

-Paul
