SUBJECT: City Council Interviews, Ward IV Vacancy

BACKGROUND Mayor Distler’s Ward IV Council seat was vacated when we she was sworn in as Mayor on April 13, 2015.

DISCUSSION Letters of interest were received from the following candidates for the Ward IV Council position:  Christine “Cris” Loomis-Nay  Brandon Kenig  Douglas Hill  Frank Neal  Frank Imgrund

Copies of the information submitted by each individual are included in the agenda packet. The candidates have been informed of the following meeting format:  The speaking order will be determined by random draw. Each candidate will offer an opening statement of three minutes or less. The Governing Body may ask the candidates questions. Candidates’ responses should be limited to one minute or less.

 Candidates have been informed that it is the City’s preference that they remain outside the Council chambers except when they are called to meet with the governing body. Because it is an open meeting, this is not a requirement.

 Councilmembers will provide written nominations to the City Clerk of the candidate they believe should be considered first. The nominations will be tallied and the candidate with the most nominations will be considered first. In the event of a tie between two candidates, a coin toss will break the tie. In the event of a tie between more than two candidates, those names will be placed in a hat and the first candidate drawn will be considered first. 1

http://www.linkedin.com/in/crisloomisnay

I am seeking to be an active member of the City of Shawnee council. I have lived in Shawnee my entire life and take great pride in my community. I have public sector experience, working for Johnson County Government. I recently graduate with my Master of Public Administration from the University of Kansas.

In my previous positions, my experience have enabled me to use my analytic skills to improve productivity, task oriented by handling many different projects concurrently and collaborate with other departments. Through my leadership skills, I was able to change internal policy and procedures with change agent techniques that effected the entire department in a positive and productive fashion. I thrive on organizational development through high levels of self-discipline and motivation. I was able to influence professional development through training sessions offered throughout the department to improve computer skills in the areas of Microsoft Outlook, Excel and SharePoint. Through process improvement initiatives I was able to increase productivity within my division.

I am seeking a position that encompasses ‘purpose driven work’ that will utilize my skill set and aptitude, tap my organizational and technical skills while contributing to the greater cause.
