Hello all!
My name is Mark Traynor, and have lived in Roseville for 6 years with my wife
and two young children. In my time here, I have been on the Planning
Commission, the Brimhall PTA and the Roseville block nurse program board. I
also am a current member of the Imagine Roseville 2025 Steering Committee.
I am general counsel for a health plan company called UCare which specializes
providing health care coverage for folks on Medicare, Medicaid or
MinnesotaCare.
The main issues I am concerned about are: (1) continuing to make Roseville an
attractive place to raise families and educate kids while supporting our
longtime residents with options to stay in the wonderful community they have
helped build; (2) encouraging balanced development that recognizes the need for
Roseville to remain competitive and to grow and diversify our tax base while
addressing impacts like traffic (including encouraging mass transit
alternatives); and (3) beginning to heal the divisive political dynamics that I
have seen since I have moved here by talking about issues and solutions,
avoiding personal comments, and being respectful.
I believe this forum is an interesting test for our city to address my last
concern. I am hopeful that it will be part of the healing rather than harden
the current division that appears to afflict our community.
I look forward to talking with all of you!
