My background includes present employment as an office manager and bookkeeper for a radio station with a listenership of over 80,000 weekly. • Past member of the Oak Forest Wall committee, the committee chosen to work and cooperate with the City Commission. One of my responsibilities was to keep running notes on all activities of the committee and submit as an aid to the members of the committee dealing with both the City of Winter Springs and Seminole County. My husband and I co- published the Oak Forest Newsletter for a period of 38 months. Never missing a monthly issue and serving as a viable connection with the City, County and State governmental projects. The community acted very favorably to the job we did and communication probably never was better within the community, not because of us but of the way the Oak Forest people took part in many of the advertised activities. 1 have lived in Oak Forest thirteen and a half years and in that time have taken my community responsibilities very seriously.

Dartanya Helgeson • July 22, 1999 Mayor and City Commissioners City of Winter Springs 1126 East State Road 434 Winter Springs, Florida 32708 -2799 RE: Oak Forest Beautification Wall Committee Ladies and Gentlemen: The purpose of this letter is to notify you of my desire to serve •on the Oak Forest Beautification Wall Committee, being formed by the City of Winter Springs. As I understand it, the Committee's purpose will be to provide guidance and direction, as required, relative to the barrier /sound wall to be constructed in conjunction with the improvements to Tuskawilla Road. • As a concerned resident of Oak Forest, and a Florida registered Professional Engineer, I bring a valuable perspective to the committee. First, I have a desire to assist my neighbors during the road construction, which is typically a trying time. I feel that with a dedicated group of interested persons, the end result will enhance not only the Oak Forest neighborhood, but the City as well. As an engineer, I can fulfill an important role as "interpreter" of the construction process when needed. I have time and energy available to dedicate to the duties of a committee member and would be willing to serve in whatever role seems fitting If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at the number shown below or at 425 -1100 x349.
