Munster Indiana

The Town of Munster is a Chicago bedroom community 0f 24,000 residents located 25 miles southwest of the Loop. The Town is situated in the midst of a vibrant socially and economically diverse region. Home to two highly rated hospitals, we attract many young families drawn to our high quality of life and impeccable services.Accomplishments:• Secured funding for and completed construction on a $25 million grade separation and intersection realignment project that travels under the CN Railroad. • Led the first wholesale revision of the land development code in over 30 years. This total rewrite pivots away from the traditional use-based Euclidian code to a form-based zoning framework that places emphasis on the context, bulk, and scale of the built environment.• Established a customer relationship management software system that allows residents to submit requests for service from their mobile devices, increases Town accountability and transparency, and integrates with existing work order and asset management systems where appropriate. • Accurately predicted in 2018 and appropriately planned for a $2.2 million revenue reduction caused by the State-mandated property tax caps and the State recalculation of exempt debt experienced in 2020.• Oversaw more than $100 million in public-private-partnership commercial development. • Led the Town’s strategic vision and established the framework for approaching the development of one square mile of transit-oriented development in anticipation of the West Lake Extension – a $820 million extension of the Northern Indiana Commuter Transit District that will include two stops in Munster.• Secured a $17 million RAISE Grant from the FHWA for the redesign and reconstruction of a main arterial from an over-designed highway to a complete street that will reduce stormwater runoff by 25%, provide 1.3 miles of new bike infrastructure, and facilitate commercial improvement along a legacy corridor.

The Town operates under a Representative Town Meeting form of government – a model similar to a corporation with shareholders, only without a board of directors. Residents of Greenwich are engaged and informed and have high expectations of service delivery. Participation in civic activity is the norm, rather the exception. Accomplishments: • Implemented the use of performance measures Town-wide and linked these to each department’s operating plan and budget submission • Member of the Town’s Benefits Strategy Group that establishes and directs our medical insurance and claims reduction strategies • Assisted Labor Relations Director in negotiating three labor contracts by developing proposal language and cost implications as well as participating in the bargaining sessions • Implemented an annual Town-wide wellness program that is offered to all 2,600 employees to reduce medical claims exposure • Directed and edited the publishing of the FY2014 and FY2015 department operating plans • Managed the FEMA reimbursement process for six natural disasters, including Hurricane Sandy, with a cumulative magnitude of over $8 million dollars • Applied for and administered $680,000 in State Economic Assistance grants for the installation of dry hydrants, construction of a new Health Department laboratory, and construction of a new physical rehabilitation wing at our skilled nursing facility• Wrote and edited in conjunction with the Town Administrator the FY2012, FY2013, and FY2014 annual proposed budgets that had Town-side operating increases of 1.39, 1.67, and 1.45%, respectively • Establishing a customer relationship management software system that will allow residents to submit requests for service from their mobile devices, increase Town accountability and transparency, and will integrate with existing work order and asset management systems where appropriate

Intern with the Bloomington, Indiana Department of Public Works. Worked on the City's snow control policy, helped update the pavement rating index (for GASB 34 compliance), fielded myriad solid waste questions, audited past capital projects, and generally helped wherever needed.
