I believe that I would be an excellent candidate for the Commissions and Committees I selected on the City's Application for Committee/Commission Service (Please see attached), given both my knowledge of position requirements and my background and credentials. I completed my BA in Political Science and Urban Studies and Planning at the University of California, San Diego and obtained my MPA from San Diego State University where I graduated magna cum laude. In July of this year I will obtain a Certificate in Non -Profit Management from the University of California, Riverside. It has always been my intent to serve communities and their governments on a local level. I have served as a contract City Planner and Community Development Director for various cities throughout Southern California and Western Arizona including the cities of Blythe, Calipatria, Holtville, Imperial and Westmorland, California and the Town of Quartzsite, Arizona. In these positions, I was responsible for managing the Planning and Community Development Departments, and often times managed projects for the Engineering and Code Enforcement Departments as well. I reported directly to the City/Town Manager and often worked with the City/Town Manager on both short and long-term city projects and programs. I have created yearly budgets and numerous grant applications to meet the shortfalls that often result in municipal budgets. I also served on the City of Cottonwood Heights' Planning Commission, a position held from August 2009 to March 2014. 1 was the youngest member, as well as the first female, to ever have served on the Commission. This position allowed me to become familiar with the policies and procedures of the City, as well as rules and regulations relative to planning and municipal management. It also afforded me the opportunity to work with a variety of local and regional residents, stakeholders, interest groups, businesses, government staff and politicians. My experiences in municipal government, private business and while serving on the Planning Commission have allowed me to better balance the needs of the public, community organizations, interest groups and government agencies. I am also a member of the Palm Desert Rotary Club and regularly participate on special committees for volunteer opportunities. In closing, I would like to state that I am very passionate about local government and it would be an honor to be considered for any of these Committees/Commissions. While I do not currently reside in the City of Palm Desert, I am planning on purchasing a home in the City this Spring. I would welcome a personal interview to discuss how my skills can best serve the City of Palm Desert. If you wish to arrange an interview, I can be reached via phone at 760/427.8533 or at the email address given above. Thank you in advance for your time and consideration. Sincer ly, indsay A.
