Also please explain what you goals and objectives in serving on the Commission would be. Finally, please indicate your feelings about the growth and development you now see taking place in our community. I have enjoyed serving as a Commissioner on the Fountain Hills Parks and Recreation Commission for the past three years. There are many challenges for Parks and Recreation in Fountain Hills and I believe I can offer my assistance and experience to continue our fine program during the current financial situation. During my 15 years as a Recreation Commissioner, including 10 years as Chairman, I have delt with many financial challenges. Montgomery Township was a very old farming community, experiencing growth after over 200 years in existence. Our Commission led P&R gradually from a few "crafts" programs into a full-fledged program with a nice group of Parks. Many of our programs and basic development of facilities was based of `volunteer" assistance from many members of the community. This volunteer program enabled us to grow very well with a minimum budget. I believe we have sufficient interest in the Fountain Hills Community to develop a strong volunteer program. I believe I have experience with this type of development to assist our fine staff of professionals to maintain, and possibly expand, our programs and facilities. As President of ADOG, I have developed both the interest and preliminary program to fund lights for the Dog Park. We expect to have a major movement for this in 2003. I believe we can set an excellent example for other organizations, using our Town facilities, to participate financially. I have learned much about Fountain Hills during my 3 '/2 years here and my 3 years serving on the Commission. Now the learning curve is over and it is time for me to be able to produce. Richard D.

Finally, please indicate your feelings about the growth and development you now see taking place in our community. Attach additional sheet, if necessary. After being a part of this community for the past 18 years and contributing some of my skills_ and knowledge in a minor role, I am interested in taking those contributions to the next level. I have previously been involved in the Parks and Recreation youth basketball program. I have spent time as an official for the games and have conducted basketball demonstrations and skills clinics for the youth of this community. Working in that capacity has brought pleasure and gratification to me and the students/players that have helped me. I hold a very high regard for the town of Fountain Hills and the Parks Department. I believe that a parks and recreation department plays a very important role in a community and the development of young people. I would like to play a larger role in that development. My goals in serving on the parks commission will be to lend some of my expertise as an educator, facilitator, and coach to the parks department. My main goal would be to see that the parks and recreation in the town of Fountain Hills grows and continues to be a strong, positive force in the community. My objective is to work hard, learn, and contribute time and knowledge to assure a quality program. The town of Fountain Hills is growing rapidly. I believe that it is a positive growth. As the town soars to new heights so must the parks and recreation department. We are definitely headed in the right direction, and I see this town offering more and doing more for the community than ever before. The next couple of years are going to be exciting and positive. We can make a difference with our efforts and time, and I would be honored to be a part of it.

I moved to Fountain Hills in January of this year, and one of the greatest attractions for my wife and I was the beauty of the town and the sense of community that we felt when we were looking for a place to live. I fell in love with the town the first time I came over the hill on Shea, and the Fountain was going strong. While driving through town, we were both impressed with the activity levels and conditions at the various parks in town. Since January, I have felt a strong desire to get involved and give back to the town. When I saw the request for this position, I realized I could now do so. My goal for serving on the commission is to continue the excellent work of the citizens who served before me, and support the efforts of the Parks and Recreation workers who obviously put in tremendous effort to provide the level of services they do. At the same time, I believe that there is always room for improvement. During times of financial difficulties, there are opportunities to identify efficiencies that will reduce expenditures, increase services and revenues, or both. One of the most important attributes I offer is my research skill. I am known for my ability to find some of the most obscure information available and do a thorough analysis of the benefits and drawbacks of various options. I believe that this Commission, and the entire town, can benefit by learning from the successes and failures of others. I also bring the perspective of a physically handicapped, yet active user of Parks and Recreation services. Although I do not believe my handicap, a partial hip and femur replacement, qualifies me any more than others, it does allow me to see things from a different perspective. I think we are doing an excellent job providing handicap access in our town, and I'd like to continue in that the tradition, especially considering the large and active senior community. This town is obviously at a vital point in its history. As we continue to grow, we have an opportunity to ensure the proper development of the services we provide for our current and future residents, while maintaining fiscal responsibility. This is a challenge I would like to accept for the next three years. Thank you for your consideration. Best egac�s, Paul S. Clare Paul S. Clare 15551 E.

Mayer 16836 East Palisades Boulevard, Building C Fountain Hills, AZ 85269 Dear Mr. Mayer, I am applying for a seat on the Parks and Recreation Commission for the term January 2003 through December 2005. Enclosed are a resume and a completed application. I have been a town resident for nine years and have been an active participant in many Parks and Recreation programs both as a parent and a volunteer. I have watched with interest as our programs have matured and would like to contribute to the growth of what I feel is one of our town's finest assets. Sincerely, Jichael Howard I am interested in serving on the Fountain Hills Parks and Recreation Commission in order to continue to contribute to a program that has provided a great benefit to my family and many other people in our community. I have been actively involved with the program since we moved to Fountain Hills in 1994. 1 have coached soccer, girls and boys basketball at all levels and have played in multiple leagues sponsored by the town. I have seen the effect of the town's growth on our programs, much positive and some negative. l see a seat on the commission as an opportunity to influence the direction and future growth of an outstanding asset of our town. My first objective would be to preserve and improve all of the fine programs in what promises to be a tough economic environment for the town. I want to continue to foster a close working and mutually beneficial relationship with the Board of Education on the joint use of facilities and athletic fields. With the opening of the middle school and the promise of a future Boys and Girls Club in our town I feel we may be able to expand a number of the programs already in place. I would like to explore more summer programs and more opportunities for older kids who can't compete at the high school level to continue to participate. I feel the parks network in place is a major attraction for new residents and I would like to explore future enhancements to the existing infrastructure. I have witnessed the inevitable growth and development of our small community. Some has been well thought out and much has not, due to multiple factors too numerous to list. The Parks and Recreation department has done an admirable job and I would like to assist them in continuing to provide for all our citizens. The commission should be able to provide a service that will benefit all our townspeople, young, middle-aged and elderly, in the coming years and I feel I can contribute to the process. Continued growth in town is inevitable, but if done wisely it can be a positive influence on our community. Thank you for your consideration.

I am a newcomer to Fountain Hills. I have already become passionate about this community and its balance between recreation and the preservation of open spaces. I am impressed with the excellent recreation opportunities. I am currently taking advantage of the community support for the Inner Peace Yoga and Health Center. I have golfed at the Desert Canyon Golf Club. I am looking forward to hiking at the McDowell Mountain Park. I grew up in Ohio around open spaces. Recreation, then, was whatever my brothers and I made of it. I did envy my cousins in Akron who had easy access to parks and ball fields. I loved baseball and softball, but did you ever organize a neighborhood game in a field where the wild grass was up to the knees? I continue to love open spaces, however. In my early 20s, I began a life-long journey of traveling, hiking, and camping across the United States and Canada. I have traveled to every state but Alaska and most Canadian provinces. I have visited most major national parks in the United States and several in Canada. I have backpacked in Acadia, Shenadoah, the Grand Tetons, Yellowstone, Montana national forests, Lassen, and Banff. I have taken the Wild Cave Tour at Mammoth Caves. I would love an opportunity to bring my passion for national parks and recreation areas to this local community. I can bring a strategic, systematic approach to the Commission, helping to identify issues and advise the Town Council. I am retired and have time available. Sincerely, Daniel J.

To my understanding, one of the primary functions of the Parks and Recreation Department is to organizing and managing a variety of recreation and leisure activities. Fountain Hills outdoor recreation activities are similar to what I experienced in Ann Arbor, Michigan from 1968-1979. There, I participated in golf and softball leagues among other activities. Here, I have hopes of reviving my golf game, participating in yoga, playing duplicate bridge at the Community Center, and hiking in nearby preserves. Outdoor recreation is at its finest here in Fountain Hills and many organizations exist in support. The Fountain Park is an astonishing area. In a very short time, I have become passionate about this community. In its concern for providing parks, recreation, and open spaces, it reminds me of Ann Arbor. Among my experiences in Ann Arbor was a canoe trip on the Huron River to clean the river of trash. My wife and I spent eight hours one Saturday with a conservation group. This was a very satisfying experience for me. I felt involved. I am retired. I have time to become involved here in Fountain Hills. I am a member of the Arizona Chapter of the Nature Conservancy. I am well- educated and could lend my hand at some learning activities such as business writing and bridge. Opportunities to advance my arts understanding appeal to me. I recently joined the Arts Council. I spent twelve hours at the recent Art Fair. Saline and Ann Arbor, Michigan had similar fairs and I appreciated the one in Fountain Hills equally as much. My goals in serving on the Commission include the desire to become more aware as well as volunteering my time and skills in organization and management in giving advice to the Commission. In addition, I wish to support the town's current ability to preserve the open spaces that are so essential to the setting and intimacy of Fountain Hills. Having attended the November town meeting on the 2002 and 2003 budget, I understand the need to raise revenue. Selling off open land is not the solution. ion Applicatir It is short-term and would squeeze the town's spirit. Fountain Hills is a well- 05 Recruiunt planned community.
