Attachment to the Elk River City Commission application ofR. J Touchette dated 1-29-03
STATEMENT OF QUALiFICATION/INTEREST
My name is Ron Touchette; I live in Elk River, MN, District t6. I have been married for 20
years and have two sons ages 18 and 14, I do not hold any elected office.
My back~ound encompasses the automotive repair, building trades, and travel industries. I
hold a Real Estate Sales Persons License from the State of MN with Premier Real Estate
Team, LLC. I would consider myself a small business entrepreneur and have either started
or purchased numerous small businesses most notably in the retail auto repair industry. In
May of 2002 I sold mv interest in four SPARKS Computerized Car Care centers in the Twin
Cities after owning and operating them since November of 1993. I subsequently obtained
my real estate license and began providing business management, mediation and debt
management expertise and services to small business owners in the Automotive and Building
Trades on an as needed basis. I also provide mentoring services to start up and/or struggling
entrepreneurs on a volunteer basis.
My interest in appointment to a Commission stems from my perception that Elk River is
struggling, as are many other communities, to make ends meet while still providing the high
quality services and retaining the small town sense of community and values that we all
enjoy and have come to expect. While it would be very easy to sit back and let "others"
figure out how, when, and where Elk River is going to move and ~ow into the future I
believe that the public has a duty to participate in government before they should exercise the
right to speak out about unpopular governmental decisions whatever they may be. We all
have a duty to determine whether the decisions made by our government reflect not only the
will of the community but also the good of the Community as a whole even though it may be
unpopular for some. The future comes whether we wani it to or not, change is a daily
occurrence and everyone must realize that it takes dedicated good citizens working together
as a team, taking personal responsibility for the outcome to better prepare our corner of the
world for our children.
I have considered the comrnitment and dedication required for service on a commission and I
am ve~ confident of my ability to provide exceptional leadership for my community should
my application meet with your approval. Thank you for your consideration.
