Supplemental —City of Scandia; Addendum to questions 1,4,and 7
1. Other experience in road construction and maintenance: I have performed street patching, sweeping,
manhole lowering/ raising, parking lot striping, crack sealing, overlaying, rolling, paving with a paver, trail
base and parking lot base preparation/ grading. Snow removal—tandem route of the main emergency runs.
Worked through several of the worst storms in the last 30 history of Minnesota winters. Use and knowledge
of plows, underbodies, wings, blowers, brooms. Concrete works, retaining wall construction, and traffic sign
installation. Replaced culverts, installed drainage systems, maintained ditch drainage, and installed erosion
control. Road side mowing, tree and shrub clearance pruning, and invasive species removal /terminate.
Knowledge and training in the latest anti -icing / de-icing practices to save on salt use, and pre -wetting
practices as well. Knowledge of the products to use for aiding salt in melting in temperatures below zero.
4.) Developing and implementing policies, for operations, maintenance and equipment: The use of past
practices and best practices will set a base line to start from in defining policies and other operations of the
department. Safety policies are driven mainly by the government but should be monitored to insure, that
where there are gaps in regulation, any newly identified hazards are addressed to assure staff safety. Any
changes should be to policy or practices needs to be documented and shared with all who are impacted.
Documents should be dated, filed in an appropriate area — computer or books and be accessible. I have been
involved in safety committee activity actively or supported them for over 30 years. We worked as a team
with the front line staff and with the supervisory staff to change the following practices: Reporting for snow
calls, Football Game Day and events support process, plant replacement process, Action Plan process and
document, athletic field care process, tree and shrub planting specifications and practices, graffiti reporting
practices, student training and orientation process and power point presentation, creating a scheduling
practice of inspections for: Parks, trails, grounds, play equipment, buildings, and athletic fields. Created a
check off sheets and a process for pre -checks on equipment before and after operation. Follow through on
making sure the practices, policies, and procedures are key. I believe in accountability, being cost effective,
and providing the best customer service we can each day.
7.) Supervisory experience: At the U of M, with 8 full-time union employees and 45 to 50 part-time student
employees, I have been blessed with the experience of learning many styles, techniques, and the means to
help employees succeed, learn, and grow. Working with the broad scope of work ethics, knowledge base,
and personalities has been a great learning experience in management styles which I can now use in the
future. I believe in leading by example, being tra nspa rent as possible about the functions of the department,
striving to create a work place where staff is self motivated to perform at a high level, and are able to self
direct to meet the departments goals and objectives. The way I manage this is by, always being on time to
work, sharing information through emails or regularly scheduled meetings, by making myself available to
staff, and working/ spending time with them in the field. I reinforce that, as a staff member, you are the
most important asset of the organization. My frontline staff understands the importance of their work and
how dependant the customers and citizens are on them to perform their tasks.
