MINNESOTA 55102 GEORGE LATIMER (612) 298-4323 � MAYOR � � September 21, 1982 TO: MEMBERS �OF THE SAINT PAUL CITY COUNCIL FR: MAYOR GEORGE LATIME .. . . ._ __ _ __ RE: APPOINTMENT OF ELLE G. SAMPSON Over the past several weeks, I have communicated to you the necessity of increasing the City's overall effor�s in the intergovernmenta� affairs and revenue raising areas. I strongly believe that the recent cutbacks in federal and . state funding require the City to make a greater staff investment to deal with extended budget problems. . Therefore, I am presenting to you for your approval the appointment of Ellen G. Sampson to the position of Administrative Aide II in the Mayor's Office to assist Mary Schweiger McNellis, whose appointment you approved - earlier this month, in� intergovernmental relations. Her major responsibility will be to guide the adoption of the City's legislative, package. Ellen's experience with the State Legislature makes her an exceptionally qualified can- didate for this position. In addition, she will provide needed assistance in dealing with the federal government and other governmental jurisdictions. Again, this position will be half funded by .the Mayor 's Office budget and half funded by the Saint Paul Port Authority. I ask your support on this mayoral appointment. �A copy of Sampson's resume is attached for your review. • Her extensive gavernmental experience includes the Minnesota Iiouse of Representatives' Committee on Appropriations and = the Minnesota Ethical Practices Board. She has had direct lobbying experience with Minnesota Common Cause and will be obtaining a law degree in the near future . I feel her employ- _ ment and educational experience will complement our staff . efforts well and will help to maximize the City's level of - success during the upcoming legislative session. � GL:kh - Attachment , - �� ' - E:tLEi; Gi:U�;D�cST SAr�iPSOi�! � (nar.e) 1415 Bayard .'�venue (Office} 246 State Office Buildin� St. Paul , ty�i•J 55116 ' St. Pau1, ,1:: 55155 .
