Gentlemen,
i wanted to write and let you lmow: what a great employee you have in Elizabeth Bm'gett.
She is a quality person in addition to being lmowledgeable and efficient.
I am a realtor with Coldwell Banker Bumet and needed help with a problem that the
o~vner had procrastinated on for quite some time. When he went in to your department to
resolve the issue, he was told that it would not be able to be addressed m~til after the time
we were closing on the sale of his home. (my understanding is that he behaved somewhat
arrogant and was a little difficult). He then called me and that is where Elizabeth comes
in to play. I called and explained my problem and she rose to the occasion to help me
without a whine or complaint. I ka~ow this is your busy time of year and I could he?. the
phones ringing off the wall in the background. She explained everything el-early ~}i
worked on it all day until we had answers and a time set for inspection. Without going
into details, this was a transaction that could have resulted in an extremely volatile
situation if we did not close. We probably would not have closed without Elizabeth's
help. I feel like she was my angel sent to make this all work...it had been a long, long
transaction period. She is truly a person who can set a good example for others who
"don't feel like helping because they either don't like the person, they feel they are too
busy or just don't feel like it and don't have-to help". She did it because she saw I needed
help, and as she said "it is just the right thing to do". As much as I have gushed, it is only
1/10th of what I feel.
My =oratitude to her, your department and the personable, professional inspector (Bob) for
coming tN'ough when needed.
Sincerely,
Karen Scheirmann

Ms. Jan Lash
7001 Tecumseh Lane
Chanhassen, MN 55317
Dear J,~rrY. ,~l..~
On behalf of the Chanhassen City Council, I would like to thank you for your
extraordinary contributions while serving as a Park and Recreation
Commissioner. From the day you started in 1989, it was apparent that you were a
person who was dedicated to the task at hand. Four terms and 13 years later,
residents, staff and the council have come to recognize you as an accomplished
advocate for local park and recreation initiatives. Your leadership as chair for the
past six years has proven to be very effective in ensuring that the commission's
business be conducted with respect and dignity.
Your accomplishments while serving on the commission are too numerous to
fully document! Highlights over the years include the success of the 1997 Park,
Open Space and Trail referendum, acquisition of over six new parks, development
of over twelve parks, construction of the Chanhassen Recreation Center,
installation of over fifteen miles of trails, development of the skate park, and the
successful coordination of dozens of community events. Your enthusiasm is
contagious, inspiring other commission members and staff to serve at a higher
level. People especially appreciated that no matter what the issue, you were there
to listen first and then respond, letting them know exactly where you stood.
Jan, you are very accomplished in setting long-range goals and sticking with
them. Roundhouse Park, one of the most beautiful neighborhood parks in the
City is testimony to this. Securing this park site required years and years of
planning and negotiation. Minus your leadership and tenacity, it is unlikely that
the goal of locating this park on Minnewashta Parkway and the shore of Lake
Minnewashta would have ever been accomplished. You stood up for the City's
best interests through dozens of difficult meeting and ultimately persevered. You
have played such an important role in this wonderful legacy.
In 1995, it ,,,,,as my pleasure to be in your company as you received the Minnesota
Recreation and Park Association Board and Commission Award! The highest
statewide award to be bestowed upon a local Park and Recreation Commission
member. In your acceptance speech, you focused on the importance of your
community, fellow commissioners, other 'elected and appointed officials and the
staff you worked with. To this day I do not believe you fully understand the
impact you have had on your community and the people you have worked with.
Please accept my sincere acknowledgment of the contributions you have made
and the legacy that is yours! I cannot thank you enough for the support you have
provided me and the remainder of our staff. I wish you success in your future
endeavors. Again, on behalf of all of us here at the City, thank you and best
wishes!
Sincerely,
Todd Hoffman ~

Mr. Mike Howe
2169 Stone Creek Drive
Chanhassen, MN 55317
On behalf of the Chanhassen City Council, I would like to thank you for your six
years of dedicated service to the City's Park and Recreation Commission! You
inspired many people through your unselfish commitment to public service. The
level of enthusiasm and energy you display in your volunteer work is truly
inspiring. It has been a pleasure to work side by side with you at dozens of
community events over the years.
The success of the Dave Huffman 5K race is perhaps the finest example of the
work you have done for the Commission! There is no greater achievement than
honoring a deceased commissioner who possessed the same kind of passion and.
spirit that you embody today. Thank you for investing the time and energy
required to ensure that this special event be brought to the community with class
arm style. Race day is truly an emotional event seeing all those smiling faces and
knowing that Dave would have had the biggest smile of them all!
Mike, whatever the call, yowl answered. I cannot remember a special event that
you did not attend. Your clear focus and understanding of the premise that - if
everyone does their part things will all work out - is unparalleled among my
acquaintances. Your resolve to serve is something you can truly be proud of! It
was a joy to see you as the "cat in the hat" at the Halloween Party, drilling holes
at February Festival and selling out the prize board at the 4th of July. I know that
even in your departure from the Commission, you have made commitments to
other community service organizations.
For these reasons and hundreds of others, it is hard to bid you farewell! I know
that you share these same emotions and that this is really not good-bye, as you
have made commitments to staying involved in the special events program! I
look forward to working with you again and trust I can call on you when in need.
Again, on behalf of the City Council congratulations on your accomplishments
and thank you for being such a valuable member of the Commission!

..
On behalf;6f the City Council, I would like to thank you for your past service on
the City's Park and Recreation Commission. Your willingness to take the time
necessary to commit to a volunteer public service position is commendable. I
appreciated having your unique perspective on a variety of development issues
that came before the Commission. You were always willing to speak your mind,
even when supporting a minority position. For this reason alone I held you in high
esteem!
Jay, you are the only Commissioner I have had leave for another commission only
to return! That in itself says something good about the experience of serving as a
Park and Recreation Commissioner. Thanks for working hard to be available
when faced with a busy personal and work schedule. Your fellow commissioners
appreciated your commitment to the task at hand. Good luck in all your future
endeavors and please feel free to stop by the office for a visit. You will be
missed.

On behalf of the Mayor and City Council I would like to thank you for your fotlr
years of service to the City's Park and Recreation Commission! Your
commitment to your family and community is truly inspiring. I commend you for
taking the time necessary to serve on a volunteer commission. It takes a special
kind of person to dedicate a portion of their life to public service. I hope you will
continue serving Chanhassen as an ex-officio goodwill ambassador for the
commission.
Dave, no matter what the call you were willing to chip in. I appreciate all the
extra work you did supporting the City's special events program. You
represented the northwest quadrant of our City well, offering regional insight
when necessary; but you never lost sight of the fact that you represented all
interests in Chanhassen. It was my pleasure working with you and I will miss
seeing you each month. Please feel free to stop by the office anytime.
