I have been selected to represent District F, western Anoka and <br />western Hennepin Counties. This is almost the same arec I represented when I served <br />on ii e Metropolitan Transit Commission several years ago. <br />Foy ;hose of you who don't know me, I'd like to tell you a little about my transit and loccl <br />government experience. I have been c city employee for twenty-eight years, the last <br />f^E-en as Director of Accounting for Coon Rapids. I also served four years on the Anoka <br />City Council. I do believe I have a good feel for municipal government, and an <br />understanding of the concerns of local officials on transportation issues in the <br />metropolitan area. I served on the MTC for six years, two years as Vice Chairman, and I <br />have served on the RTB since it was created. I alsc jerve as the RIB representative on <br />the Transportation Advisory Board (TAB). <br />There are many important issues facing the Regional Transit Board: improving transit in <br />the suburban area, looking at transit financing mechanisms, continuing to improve <br />transit for the elderly and disabled, and working with cities and counties on lighl rail transit <br />development. Your Ideas and concerns are welcome and appreciated. I can be <br />reached at 755-2880 or 421-1213, also at 430 Rice Street, Anoka, MN 55303. If you wood <br />like to discuss transit issues, please call me. I will also be happy tc meet with you, or <br />attend meetings in your community. <br />I look forward to serving as your representative on the Regional Transit Board. <br />Sincerely, <br />Ruth Franklin <br />RTB Board Member <br />District F <br />RF1smf <br />�1 <br />An Equal Opportunity Employer <br />
