Mayor Ted Tedesco - 2002 h i`
Members of the City Council CITY CLERK
Ames,Iowa CITY OF AMES,IOWA
Dear Mayor and City Council Members:
Please consider this letter my application for the open seat on the Ames City Council vacated by
Herman Quirmbach.
I have been employed by Iowa State University for 22 years as a secretary in Education Extension,
Veterinary Pathology,Education Career Services and now,in the Department of English. I took
seven years to complete my senior year at Iowa State University,but graduated in May of 1988 with
a degree in Elementary Education. I have been involved at the Kate Mitchell Elementary School as
president of the PTA,I serve now on the University Committee on Women,and as
secretary/treasurer of the Kate Mitchell Neighborhood Association. My schedule at this time,
would allow me to give my "community" energy to the Ames City Council.
That said,I think my involvement in the community would add another perspective to the Ames
City Council, I don't feel like I know much,but I am willing to learn and to listen.
I would enjoy a cup of coffee with Mayor Tedesco or any council member,if that is the appropriate
venue in which to find out if I would "fit." I would find service on the Ames City Council a
challenge and a privilege,as well a service to my community.
I would prefer that you reach me at my home at 515-232-8656,but my work phone is 515-294-
2180.
Sincerely,
A,
Mikie S.Walker

Dear Mikie:
Thank you for your recent letter requesting consideration for appointment to the Fourth Ward City
Council seat soon to be vacated by Herman Quirmbach. I truly appreciate your interest in serving
Ames in this capacity. However, a person appointed to fill the Fourth Ward seat has to reside in that
ward. Since you currently live in the First Ward, you are not eligible for appointment to fill the
vacancy.
Again,thank you for your interest. If you have any questions pertaining to this issue, please feel free
to contact me.
Yours y,
ed Tedesco
Mayor
