Job Specific Supplemental Questions
1. Please describe in detail why you are interested in volunteering for the City of Monticello.
I am interested in volunteering for the City of Monticello because I feel like my previous roles in the
construction and design community would be of some benefit to the City. I grew up in Monticello
and have seen the many vast changes that have happened over the last 35 years and would be
excited to be a part of the change.
2. Please describe your prior volunteer experience (include organization names and dates of
service).
My previous volunteer experiences are limited to 3. I have coached Junior Olympic volleyball for the
Rogers community (RAYVA) for two seasons (11/2016 & 11/2017). I also volunteer and dedicate my
time as an animal foster for the organization Ruff Start Rescue (June 2015 - Present). Lastly, I
volunteer my time as an official Minnesota State High School League volleyball referee where I
travel around a 90 miles radius and referee local High School volleyball matches on the Varsity
level (August 2017 - Present).
3. Please describe your qualifications for this appointment below.
I am qualified to be a volunteer for the Planning Commission because I have 8 years of experience
in the construction and design community. Through these years I have developed deep business
knowledge in the areas of lighting, lighting controls, building automation, Internet of Things (IoT) &
Smart Building solutions by using industry standard principles, practices and energy code
compliance. I am also LEED Green Associate certified.
By clicking on the 'Accept & Submit' button, I hereby certify that all of the information provided by me in this

documents may be cause for denial of employment or immediate termination of employment regardless of
the timing or circumstances of discovery.
I understand that submission of an application does not guarantee employment. I understand that none of

consideration for employment with the City of Monticello, if employed, I agree to conform to the rules,
regulations, policies and procedures of the City of Monticello at all times and understand that such
obedience is a condition of employment.
I understand that if offered a position with the City of Monticello, I may be required to submit to a pre-
employment medical examination, drug screening and background check as a condition of employment. I
understand that unsatisfactory results from, refusal to cooperate with, or any attempt to affect the results of
these pre-employment tests and checks will result in withdrawal of any employment offer or termination of
employment if already employed.
I hereby authorize all schools, former employers, references, courts and any others who have information
about me to provide such information to the City of Monticello and/or its representatives, agents or vendors
and I release all parties involved from any and all liability for any and all damage that may result from
providing such information.

PLANNING COMMISSION INTERVIEWS
Name:
QUESTION AND ANSWER SESSION
Why do you feel you are a good candidate for this volunteer position in terms of your
experience or interest in land use planning?
2. In your estimation, what have been the favorable and unfavorable ways the City has
developed in the past few years?
3. Describe a time in your past when you had to stand up for what you believed in despite
pressure to think, act, or do otherwise.
4. Do you think willingness to seek compromise is a good trait for a Planning
Commissioner? Why or why not?
5. How long do you see yourself serving on the Commission?
6. What special challenges do you see in Monticello's future in terms of land use or
development?
7. Do your normal work hours allow you to regularly attend PC meeting held on the lst
Tuesday of each month at 6pm? Special meetings at 5 PM?
8. Scenario: A prospective business owner would like to start a business in a commercial
zone located on the edge of the downtown area and directly adj acent to a residential area.
Before he can start his business he needs to get a conditional use permit from the City.
The business owner is able to meet all site plan requirements and it appears proper to
grant the permit. However, 10 irate property owners appear at the public hearing and
demand that the City deny the conditional use request because it may result in additional
traffic on a nearby highway. How would you vote on this matter and why?
