General Application June 2010 Page 3 of 8 Attachment A Experience and /or activities which you feel qualify you for this position: My background as a lawyer will help qualify me for this position. I maintain a general practice including the areas of land use, environmental law, and commercial litigation. My practice requires me to engage in creative problem solving, strategic planning, analysis of rules and regulations, and analytical thinking on a daily basis. Through my practice, I am also familiar with assessing financial information and developing budgets. I also have experience serving on other boards and commissions and have engaged in strategic planning for those groups. For instance, I am a current member of the Johnson County Bar Association Young Lawyers Division Executive Committee and the City High Alumni Association. In the past, I have served as a board member for Corridor Free Wireless, Iowa Volunteer Lawyers for the Arts, and the Creighton University Chapter of Habitat for Humanity. I am also a graduate of the Iowa City Chamber's Community Leadership Program. I am an honorary native of Iowa City — my family moved here when I was four. I attended Regina, South East, City High, and the University of Iowa. I have worked for many local employers ranging from a hardware store, a factory, and a department store, to a data center and a law firm. I am invested in the community and hope that my experience of growing up in Iowa City will be of benefit to the Commission. I am an enthusiastic outdoorsman. My hobbies include hiking, camping, and enjoying parks in Iowa City and across the country. As a heavy user of the City's park system, I have a good sense of how consumers relate to the City's outdoor recreation opportunities. What is your present knowledge of this advisory board? I understand that the Commission recommends and reviews rules, regulations, and budgets relating to the City's park system, recreation centers, and cultural functions. also understand that the Commission is involved with developing new parks and recreational opportunities. I have discussed this position briefly with Mike Moran. What contributions can you make to this advisory board (reason for applying)? Attractive recreation opportunities are essential for the City's positive growth. As a young professional, I appreciate that young people consider whether or not an area has a strong park system when deciding where to live. A city with a variety of recreational and cultural opportunities will be in a better position to attract and retain employers and workers, and to improve the quality of life for its citizens. Neighborhood parks also serve to foster stronger, friendlier neighborhoods. I would like to serve on the Commission to help the City maintain its strong recreation program and develop new opportunities. As someone who has benefited from the City's parks and recreation program for nearly thirty years, I would appreciate the chance to contribute to the program. {01090472.DOC) ca L� "F� ..� • -asp .- N Attachment A (cont'd) List potential conflicts of interest: Although it is unlikely that these relationships would present a conflict of interest, I am and attorney with Bradley & Riley PC, my wife is an employee of Willowwind School, I serve on the board of the City High Alumni Association, and am on the Johnson County Bar Association Young Lawyers Division Executive Committee. {01090472.DOC} a _ iV {01090472.DOC} F.
