Item#1.
Greetings,
My name is Zach Shoemaker. I have lived in the city of Meridian since 2008.As a resident, I have
watched the growth of this city.As a builder, I have contributed to its growth. I am looking for an
opportunity to serve in the community in which I live and work in.The purest and most simple reason
for my desire to participate in local government is my interest in policy in administration. I earned an
undergraduate degree in political science. As a student of politics, I grew an appreciation for the political
system which governs us. In particular, local government. I continued my education at Boise State and
earned a master's degree in public administration.This grew my interest and desire to learn and
understand the policy and administrative side of government, politics aside.
Now that I have a little extra time, I feel like it is a personal responsibility of mine to give back to the city
that I have grown to call home.There is no political motive here. It is simply my desire to help craft good
public policy. Policy which helps elected officials make the best decisions possible. Policy that will help
Meridian to continue to grow as a desirable city to live and work in.
In discussing this desire with my frien, councilman Treg Bernt, he recommended that I apply for a
position on the transportation board. I feel that I am uniquely positioned and qualified for this seat
because of my background of residential building in Meridian, living in Meridian during this growth spell,
and because of my educational background in public administration. I have a unique ability to solve
complex problems, communicate efficiently, and make difficult decisions based on data,factual
evidence, and general input from experts and others.
look forward to an opportunity to discuss this further.
Thanks
