Dear Scandia City Council Member:
I am writing in response to your advertisement on the City of Scandia website seeking applicants to
serve on the City's Parks and Recreation Committee. My family and I moved to Scandia in the spring
of 2015 and have been in love with the area ever since. I am eager to become involved in the
community that will be our "forever home" and feel an appointment to the Parks and Recreation
Committee would suite both my professional abilities and my personal desire to have a voice in the
future of Scandia.
I have attached a brief professional resume. In short, I am currently and have been employed as an
environmental engineering consultant in the Twin Cities area for the past 14 years. I work primarily
on solid waste related services and have acted as a trusted advisor for several Minnesota Counties
in making decisions to balance regulatory requirements, minimize environmental impacts and keep
costs minimal. I understand the important role that local government plays in representing, and
acting in the best interests of, their residents. I would bring to the committee a broad range of skills,
including:
• Proficient knowledge of engineering and design plans, including grading and drainage.
• Technical expertise in environmental impacts associated with construction and development
activities.
• Experience in construction estimating.
• Report preparation and compilation for public distribution.
• Experience in writing successful grant applications from state and federal funding sources.
Thank you for your consideration of my appointment to the City of Scandia Parks and Recreation
Committee. I am excited for the opportunity to help shape the future of this wonderful City.
Sincerely,
t�W1n
Cami Van Abel
