I have been a member of the Chanhassen community and Carver County since 1988. Through this time I
have seen some very exciting and strategic change occurring within the Chanhassen Community. It is this
change and foresight that will be critical to the livelihood and continued success of our community. Just as
my wife and I have experienced significant change since joining the community, my 6 year old and 1 year
old boys will experience even more dynamic changes as they grow up in Chanhassen. The ability of
Chanhassen to balance the needs of Long time residences, with future developments and needs of a growing
community are critical. These are some of the dynamics requiring attention to assure the success of
Chanhassen, and where I have a committed interest in playing a role in shaping.
In my employment with U S WEST I have been responsible for analyzing the Market conditions and
proposing, developing and implementing initiatives to keep us successful through dynamic changing times.
These efforts have been performed from an array of positions and functional groups. I have lead efforts
from a financial perspective, performed audits on our major subsidiaries making strategic
recommendations, and currently directing our strategy for competing in the Services environment for our
Data Equipment organization. The strategic planning and experience associated with these activities I
believe is what the Planning Commission requires to continue moving forward in the year 2000. I know I
can bring considerable insight and initiative to this Commission and add to the current group dynamics.
x 3 ::
In addition, my position with U S WEST takes me across the Continental United States and into many
communities. It is this exposure to different environments and communities which allows me to experience
how other areas are dealing with growth and community development. My exposure to these communities
will be a significant benefit to the existing Commission members. My dealings also require intense
negotiation with our Vendors and Service Providers to meet and exceed our customers expectations. These
relationships are critical to all parties success. These are also skills required in developing the Planning
Commission strategy and communicating with both the citizens of Chanhassen as well as the parties
involved with this development.
My interest in the success of the Chanhassen community, and experience I bring to the Planning
Commission provides the capabilities I believe you are looking for to help formulate the Communities
strategy. I would like to discuss this opportunity with you further at your convenience.
Please give me a call if I can provide any additional information to assist in your decision making process.
Sincerely,
David J. Mo
