HOWARD ROPP
20620 CONCORD ST. NW
ELK RIVER, MN 55330
STATEMENT OF INTEREST
I believe Elk River is in the "path of progress". The commuter line, growth of the Twin Cities in
the northwesterly direction, a healthy economy and low unemployment, etc. are all presenting
opportunities for growth as well as challenges to manage change for the benefit of the
community. I would like to participate in this process and feel that involvement through the
Planning Commission would be an excellent way to do so.
EDUCATIONAL AND PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE
My background includes a BS degree in finance from Purdue University and 30 years experience
in business. I have been a financial analyst, administrative manager, controller and facility
manager and have worked for both large and small companies, including two start up businesses
in northern California. Currently, I am the Accounting Manager for Remmele Engineering, Inc.'s
Micro Machining Division in Big Lake.
.
I have had experience developing and presenting capital plans and proposals for a variety of
projects. I have also been responsible for developing business plans and operating budgets for
many different types of businesses. I feel this experience, as well as general management /
organizational skills, would enable me to contribute to the success of the commission.
.
