From: Somalee Datta <br />To: GRP -City Council <br />Subject: Planning Commission applicants <br />Date: Tuesday, September 22, 2020 2:16:24 PM <br />Dear City Council: <br />Thank you for the opportunity to listen to the candidate interviews. I don't know if it is <br />customary for residents to provide feedback, but now that you gave us the opportunity, I <br />assume it won't hurt for us to give feedback. <br />After having listened to all candidates and some independent research on the web, the two <br />following candidates stood out for me: <br />1. Filip Crnogorac <br />2. Jessica Meunier <br />Both are long term residents of our city, and are bringing up their child/children in this city. <br />They bring very different backgrounds and experiences to the table. They appear passionate <br />and eager to serve. From their life journey, it is a fair guess that they are resilient individuals. <br />They are strong communicators, Jessica very much so. Furthermore, they are both analytically <br />strong, the former a scientist and later a financial analyst, and I trust that will strive for data <br />driven thinking on our behalf. <br />I believe that our planning commission will be well served by the addition of these two <br />candidates. <br />Ms Jen Shen is my third choice by a small margin, only because of her relative newness to <br />RWC. She is clearly exceptionally talented and has an excellent background to serve the <br />community. <br />And thank you again, these zoom enabled council meetings are a blessing in these troubled <br />times. <br />Warm Regards, <br />Somalee <br />District 6 <br />
