When we moved to Chanhassen in 2017, I started looking for ways to get more involved despite the time limitations of being a new parent. I was elected to the Lotus Lake Conservation Alliance board and had the opportunity to represent our residents in front of Chanhassen City Council in 2019 during a controversial debate. As a closing announcement in that council meeting, the ability to learn how the city works and represent more of Chanhassen via the Planning Commission was surfaced. I readily seized the opportunity, and it has been an outstanding learning experience through the entire 2020 calendar year. I fully expected the Planning Commission to be interesting and educational, but I honestly underestimated how much I would enjoy the experience in all aspects. I have had the opportunity to work with an impressive group of people in the Chanhassen City Staff. I’ve gained valuable experience through actively participating in efficient, well-run meetings using Roberts Rules of Order, combining findings of fact with passionate input from residents. I’ve learned more about the inner workings of our city and all it has to offer in the last 4 months than I have in the last 4 years. As a lifelong learner, I desire more of these experiences and am hungry to share more of my time and talent with the citizens of Chanhassen. With this position opening up I can’t help but again seize the opportunity to learn more, do more and make an even larger impact on this great city. I am confident through these experiences and my own personal drive, I can hit the ground running in this position and begin contributing immediately. 12/22/2020 https://www.ci.chanhassen.mn.us/Admin/FormCenter/Submissions/Print/4443 https://www.ci.chanhassen.mn.us/Admin/FormCenter/Submissions/Print/4443 4/5 Specific qualifications for this position* Yes No Are you currently serving on other Boards, Commissions, or Committees?* If yes, please list Yes No Have you served on a Board, Commission, or Committee in the past?* If yes, please list Please list organization memberships and positions held* There are three strengths of mine I believe directly benefit the citizens of Chanhassen: Representation - I have a desire to ensure that ALL citizens and all views are fully represented. Ensuring every voice is heard with unbiased consideration is something I’ve always promoted, however this notion has been further strengthened through my experience on the Chanhassen Planning Commission. I’ve honed my ability prepare for meetings through staff reports, facts and findings, and resident input. I’ve demonstrated skills to debate an agenda item with an open mind as well as produce outcomes which are beneficial to residents (and avoid creating unintended consequences!). Cooperation – While I always enjoy a good debate, I also believe that we create enduring solutions when we can find middle ground via thoughtful compromise. I believe that every level of government can benefit from having a diverse set of individuals who can put aside differences in the spirit of making meaningful progress for the citizens they represent. Having worked for two Fortune 50 companies in a supporting function, there is always a healthy balance that needs to be maintained between what the business functions immediately want, and the sustainable, supportable solutions that an engineering function would like to provide. Often I have found myself at the intersection of these organizations, negotiating win-win outcomes and brokering solutions that enable both sides to flourish. Analytical Thinker (but still human!) – I am a problem solver and lifelong learner. Trained as a computer engineer through math and computation and later getting my MBA to bring business leadership skills has enabled me to address the toughest problems with a unique combination of both logic and empathy. I can logically navigate the potential short- and long-term impacts of a decision while at the same time empathetically assessing and appreciating the human impact on stakeholders, suggesting a solution that works in both capacities. I would be honored to have the opportunity to serve the residents of Chanhassen through these strengths while improving the hometown I have fallen in love with!

There is so much to love about this city. In 2019, I opened a small business in Chanhassen: "Board & Brush Creative Studios". Owning and running a business, and even thriving during the past difficult year, has brought me even more passion for Chanhassen to continue its positive growth. Both my children (now adults) grew up in Chanhassen and enjoyed the excellent schools and were active in many activities and organizations. My son is now at Berklee college of Music, due largely to the wonderful influence of Mr. Songer (CMSW) and his passion for teaching music. My son achieved Scouting's highest rank of Eagle Scout (Troop 337) and as a Scout, he collected used instruments to refurbish and donate to the Carver Elementary School. It would be an honor to serve for the betterment of a city that my family has enjoyed so much. As a longtime Chanhassen resident, and small business owner, I'm very interesting in seeing our community continue its very positive growth, while retaining our important civic and social values, our small-town atmosphere and sense of community. The people in Chanhassen and the city leaders never fail to impress myself and my family. It's no wonder Chanhassen is a regular top city in so many nationwide "Quality of Life" surveys. In my 22-year career at United Health Care, I successfully managed my marketing team in execution, data management and process efficiencies. I believe my use of these skills would be a great asset to the City of Chanhassen. Additionally, I'm very task-oriented and always finish what I start. I work very cooperatively with other people and enjoy helping people succeed and reach their goals. I enjoy public speaking and communicating ideas. I have a knack for finding the right approach to just about any project and I don't hesitate to jump in to help where I'm needed. 12/22/2020 https://www.ci.chanhassen.mn.us/Admin/FormCenter/Submissions/Print/4445 https://www.ci.chanhassen.mn.us/Admin/FormCenter/Submissions/Print/4445 4/4 Please list organization memberships and positions held* Please list areas of special interest* City Website Facebook Twitter Chanhassen Villager Other How did you hear about the city council vacancy?* Select all that apply Assistant Cub Scout Leader Pack 337, 2007-2009 Chanhassen Rotary. 2019 - 2020 Southwest Chamber of Commerce. 2019-2020 Running Cross-Country Skiing Dogs Cooking Piano 12/21/2020 https://www.ci.chanhassen.mn.us/Admin/FormCenter/Submissions/Print/4439 https://www.ci.chanhassen.mn.us/Admin/FormCenter/Submissions/Print/4439 3/4 Activities and Affiliations* In addition to serving your community, why do you want to be a City Council Member?* Specific qualifications for this position* Yes No Are you currently serving on other Boards, Commissions, or Committees?* If yes, please list Yes No Have you served on a Board, Commission, or Committee in the past?* If yes, please list Please list organization memberships and positions held* Please list areas of special interest* N/A In my view, political system is the best process to help our residents, at any level of the Government.

I moved to Chanhassen (Excelsior address) from Woodbury many years back. Woodbury had similar city leadership, fiscally responsible, yet looking to always better serve the needs of the community.

My wife Kailey and I moved here when we fell in love with the idea of Chanhassen; a small town with city amenities, world class parks, lakes and trails, quality schools, and a distinct community persona. Now we’re starting our family here, we’ve laid down roots in the faith community here and we’d be blessed to stay here forever. As Chanhassen continues to undergo change and it's population approaches 40,000 in the next two decades, it is important we keep the attractive character of the town intact while also welcoming innovation and the positives of growth. I want to be a servant and a leader on the council for those who have called this city home for decades and for those who choose to start their life here. I’m committed to keeping the promise of Chanhassen Forever attainable for all of us no matter which chapter of our life we find ourselves in. There are forces at work that can break the promise of Chanhassen Forever if we do not have steadfast and innovative leadership on the Council. The economic climate has been undeniably shaken to the core by COVID-19, and our city, our residents, and many of our businesses have been and will continue to be ravaged by this crisis. If we do not act decisively and with a passion for success, the Chanhassen we know and love will not look the same on the other side of this pandemic. As a healthcare innovator, business professional, and technology advocate, I see a critical need to contribute both creativity and long-term strategic thinking to the Council. 1. More than 3,000 Chanhassen residents have voted for me *An opportunity to appoint a council member gives the existing council a chance to choose their own colleague, but the risk of appointments is that positions meant to represent the people are filled by someone who has not put in the work to go speak to the people and ask for their support. *I would strongly encourage this council to consider a candidate for this vacancy in light of their willingness to put their name forward and get out in the community to hear from people and secure their vote. 2. Public Policy *I am a student of policy and understand what goes in to creating it, writing it, researching it, etc. 3. Finance *As an MBA and business professional I am well-versed in accounting, financial planning, and financial reporting. *I also understand the financial element of strategic decision making and return on investment 4. Negotiation *Like members of the existing council, I will unapologetically advocate for the residents of Chanhassen. This means being tough with external forces that want to operate here (developers, etc.) and making sure the city is getting the best deal. * I have negotiated government contracts with city, county and state for my company, so I have been on the other side. 5. Technology *While we're doing a good job, this city still needs to focus on improvements to its utilization of technology to benefit the people that live here. The adoption of new tech that actually makes people's lives better is my entire professional passion, and a personal interest. 12/21/2020 https://www.ci.chanhassen.mn.us/Admin/FormCenter/Submissions/Print/4435 https://www.ci.chanhassen.mn.us/Admin/FormCenter/Submissions/Print/4435 4/4 If yes, please list Yes No Have you served on a Board, Commission, or Committee in the past?* If yes, please list Please list organization memberships and positions held* Please list areas of special interest* City Website Facebook Twitter Chanhassen Villager Other How did you hear about the city council vacancy?* Select all that apply Carver County BPOU Executive Committee, Vice Chair Como Student Community Cooperative, Minneapolis, MN (https://cscc.umn.edu/) - Board of Directors - Finance Committee - Conciliation Committee No additional memberships to list. - Transparency and resident engagement - Fiscal Policy - Technology Adoption - Senior Well-being and Healthcare - Strategic, Long-term planning Ryan Soller Strategic and innovative professional, passionate about the development and proliferation of new technology to improve people’s lives.
