During this time, I’ve been active in <br />the Park and Recreation Department as a volunteer soccer coach (fall and <br />spring) for about 10 years. My children attended Ed-Venture when it first <br />started. Most recently, I’ve been a Commissioner on PREC, serving as <br />the Chair this past year. Other community activities have been as a Girl <br />Scout Troop Leader Troop 50948 for 12 year for a troop out of Bel <br />Air/Highview/Irondale. In addition, I was a New Brighton Service Unit <br />Girl Scout leader - Registar for several years. I was the Parent Volunteer <br />for the Irondale Nordic Ski team and as the Board volunteer for the <br />Irondale New Brighton Nordic Ski trails. <br />Why are you <br />interested in <br />serving on the <br />City Council?: <br />I am interested to continue to learn how I can maintain and advance the <br />quality of our community. I am deeply committed to having parks and <br />trails that serve all members of our community, regardless of age, <br />physical abilities, or racial or ethic background. I want to support the <br />citizens of New Brighton to continue to make it the right type of <br />community where people want to continue to live and others wants to <br />come and live in. <br />What are your <br />top 3-5 policy <br />priorities for the <br />City?: <br />I think COVID-19 might impact the city’s current plans. So how the City <br />adjusts to the new reality emerges will be important - from safety of the <br />citizens, to access to the right facilities, to balancing the budget. Coming <br />from PREC, I’m interested in getting approval of the Park & Recreation <br />Long Term Strategic Plan. Ensuring that City services continue to <br />operate effectively and efficiency for the citizens is always priority. <br />What are your <br />goals as a <br />Councilmember <br />for the remainder <br />As a “new council member” I want to align to the current goals of the <br />Council and the plan they have laid out for 2020. I want to bring my best <br />self to the Council, share my insights and my experiences in a thoughtful <br />and constructive manner, and then actively support the collective <br />decision of the Council both publicly and privately. I am interested in
