To: Kenai City Council & Clerk Re: Application for vacant City Council position Dear Honorable Councilors & Clerk With this letter & brief resume I would like to submit an application for the present vacant Kenai City Counselor position. I am interested in the position because I believe we (residents) need to become more active in local government. So much emphasis is placed on national government these days but I think the most important, yet neglected, government participation is often local. I am guilty of this myself! So when I heard about the vacancy I thought I would apply. My wife (Virginia Reynolds) and I moved to Kenai September 2018 from Florence, Oregon. We rented an apartment in Old Town for about a year then purchased our present home on Sycamore Street. I am 69 years old & retired, primarily from a 25 year career in criminal justice served in the states of Washington, Nevada & California. Prior to residing in Oregon we did live in Ketchikan & Petersburg in South East Alaska for about six years where I was employed by Alaska Airlines as a station/cargo agent. I’m still learning about Kenai, the peninsula and issues of local importance to residents. I have volunteered as a precinct leader on the District 30 Republican Committee & currently serve in that capacity here in Kenai. Thank you for considering me for this Kenai City Councilor appointment.
