It is an honor to write you personally, as I have continually admired your work as the City of Meridian Mayor. Over the course of the past 6 years, several of my projects have been heard by the City of Meridian City Council. Attending these public hearings while representing clients allowed me to not only witness you in action for my own items, but Items I never really considered. The various items that were addressed were met with your insurmountable care and consideration towards assisting, recognizing, and protecting the City of Meridian- and were quite moving, The impact was so great, I relocated to Meridian and enrolled my son in the Meridian School District (now West Ada School District). Some of the witnessed actions included: recognizing students for their achievements, determining the best plan for Christmas tree disposal, allowing a business owner to reside in his business during street construction to survive, and being openly protective of ITD installing medians down Eagle Road. In all of these instances i witnessed- not just a Mayor- but a Meridian resident, a mother, an empathetic person- coming to the level of the person before you and relating to their need. You unintentionally became my mentor, and your leadership inspired me to accept the Christmas in Meridian Parade Committee invitation in 2013, The Parade Committee has been a wonderful experience, and has left me seeking a more substantial role with the City of Meridian. I hope you will consider my application and I feel being any part of the great City of Meridian to be a great honor. Please find the attached information per the application requirement for your use and review. Thank you in advance for your time, and have a great day! With warm regards, (;�W� Jo D.
