Troy 105 Main St. Painesville, OF 44077 Oct. 9, 2017 Dear Board, Please accept this letter as expression of my interest in serving you and Lake County as a member of the Lake County Port and Economic Development Authority. As a lifelong Lake County resident, Iam eager to apply over 23 years of clected and administrative public service experience to the complex issues before the Port Authority. My twelve years as a township trustee focused ‘on zoning give me insight into the possibilities and constraints involved in navigating development opportunities. As a school board member, I learned the elements of boardmanship while helping to steer the di rict from a $2 million deficit to a $5 million carryover without raising general fund taxes. In twelve years at Geauga County, I have been assigned successively more challenging responsibilities from monitoring large renovation projects to directing a countywide records program to managing the county's property and liability insurance to updating the policy manual. Throughout my career, I have always found ways to negotiate the conflicting demands of competing interests while maintaining an unwavering devotion to finding and doing the right thing. I am especially adept at taking a fresh look at government functions and applying collaborative common sense solutions. I believe, as I know you do, that public service performed with integrity is a high calling that is, in many ways, its own reward. I look forward to discussing the Port Authority’s future with you and exploring how we can work together to make Lake County an even better place to live and work.
