RE, City of Meridian Parks and Recreation Commission Opening
Dear Madame Mayor:
I am pleased to submit my application for the City of Meridian Parks and Recreation Commission opening. 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. Greer
