April 20, 1999

Dear Mr. Morgan,

I would like to join the Jefferson Development Corporation.

I've spoken with JDC Executive Director David Olsen. He provided me with a copy of the JDC by-laws, which state that membership is open to any resident of the Jefferson area upon payment of annual dues.

I live in the Jefferson area and have operated a computer graphics software firm here since 1993. Today I confirmed with you and Olsen that there are no dues at this time, and that dues have never been asked of JDC members.

I would like the consideration of my membership to be added to the agenda of the next meeting of the JDC Board. As I discussed in our phone conversation today, and in meetings with Olsen, the JDC by-laws have no other requirements of membership, but that you preferred to discuss this matter before the Board because of the infrequency of requests to join the JDC.

I would like to attend this meeting in order to introduce myself and to answer any questions that Board members may have. Please inform me of the date and time of the meeting in which this can take place. I'd be glad to attend any impromptu meetings of the Board before the regularly scheduled meeting on May 18.

I was heartened to hear your enthusiasm at the prospect of having new members joining the JDC to help improve our community, and that it was your founding intent to have broad citizen participation in the JDC.

If you have any questions, please feel free to call me at 674-5200 during the day, or 674-3661 at home.

Sincerely,

John Foust
