Dear Fraser Board of Trustees and Hiring Team,
I am excited to apply for the position of Fraser Town Manager. I initially pursued employment
with the Town of Fraser because I knew the work would be challenging and that it would be a
privilege to serve the local community. My experience over these last several years has
exceeded my expectations of rewarding work and has driven my ambition to pursue my
Master's in Public Administration and other professional development avenues to prepare me
for this role.
Much of my experience working for the Town has been to collaborate with community
stakeholders through building relationships and trust with elected officials, staff, business
owners, non -profits, and residents. I am thrilled about the current and future opportunities the
Town has on the horizon related to building attainable housing, replacing aging infrastructure,
promoting sustainability, improving childcare availability, driving economic development,
expanding Town facilities, negotiating potential annexations, and enhancing our beloved open
space. Leading the Town through these opportunities would be an honor and something I know
that I am ready for.
I have been privileged to have been mentored by three Town Managers in Fraser which has
strengthened my ability to lead this organization in a manner that the community can be proud
of. I've learned a great deal through these managers' leadership styles and methods used to
serve Fraser. These unique experiences have given me a deeper understanding of best
management practices as the Fraser Town Manager to ensure my success if chosen for this role.
In closing, Fraser is a unique and special place to my family and me. We've made Fraser our
home and have become ingrained in the community. I hope that my demonstration of service
to the Town speaks for itself and that, if given this opportunity, I will be able to continue to
build a bright future for this community. Thank you for your consideration and time.
Respectfully,
Michael Brack

Re: Town Manager Application
Dear Fraser Board of Trustees:
Attached are documents in application to the position of Town Manager as advertised on the Colorado Municipal League
website. I believe my over 25 years of directly applicable experience, along with my formal education and training
make me an excellent candidate for this position.
I am an ICMA Credentialed Manager who holds a Masters in Public Administration from the University of Colorado at Denver. Among
other professional experiences, I've been the chief administrative officer for the Colorado towns of Red Cliff, Timnath, De Beque and
Salida. I also served as director of administration for Lake County, CO and have provided contract consulting services through my
company Timberline Consulting, LLC.
I recently served nearly four years as the Town Manager for Hudson, CO which is a home -rule municipality located on the outer ring of
the Denver Metro area and commonly considered the next town to experience significant growth. I had direct administrative authority
over 28 FTE and a $12.5 million budget. Among numerous successes at Hudson was the design and installation of a $1.5 million
broadband middle -mile backbone owned by the Town and operated and maintained on a contractual basis by Allo, Inc. This project was
funded in part by the first broadband grant issued by the State of Colorado and was paid in full with no debt. To facilitate development 1
reformed the Town's policy for water dedication and use; completed a Municipal Water Efficiency Plan and set aside hundreds of
thousands of dollars for water rights acquisition. I initiated multi -year projects to develop and upgrade the city park to become a
regional attraction as well as a desperately needed capital investment program to rehabilitate the Town's dilapidated streets and
sidewalks. I also revamped the police department which resulted in dispositions increasing to 96%, solving thefts from 12% to 60% and
burglaries from 30% to 50%. The PD was fully funded and initiating the requirements of SB-217 two years ahead of schedule. These
substantial achievements resulted in my Chief of Police earning thCML Sam Mamet Good Governance Award. During my tenure we
increased the reserve funds for Hudson from $3 million to $12 million.
After completing several long-term projects, l resigned from Hudson to pursue other professional opportunities. The Hudson Council
has had tremendous turnover the past few years. In fact this past fall, due to a rash of Council vacancies, six out of seven seats were up
for election. The constant upheaval made it a difficult place to be employed and it was obvious they were headed a different direction
on several fronts than the highly trained professional staff 1 had developed.
I have been extremely selective about my next endeavor. I seek a professional setting where I can work with a high -functioning
organization for at least the next 7-10 years. I am a proud Colorado native and have lived and worked in the mountains for years. I am
an active hiker/biker/skier and would be lucky to consider Fraser my home. I was an applicant w hen Fraser posted this job in 2021 and
was considered to be moved to a 2nd round interview. I ultimately removed my name from consideration due to family considerations.
Since that time, those considerations have rectified themselves and I am excited and blessed that 1 get to participate in this process once
again.
I urge you to contact my references for more insight into my professional capabilities and demeanor and look forward to hearing from you
in the near future.
Sincerely,

Attn: Timothy Dolan, Housing Development Program Manager
Subject: Letter of Commitment for Application for the Transformational Affordable Housing,
Homeownership, and Workforce Housing Grant Program
Mr. Dolan,
The Town of Fraser and Fraser Housing Authority, a separate authority made up of the Town of
Fraser Board of Trustees, are committed to providing up to the $2,500,000 matching funds, in
accordance with the Grant terms, in order to apply for $10,000,000 in funding through the
Transformational Affordable Housing, Homeownership, and Workforce Housing Grant Program.
This Grant Program will play a critical role in bringing desperately needed affordable housing to
the Fraser Valley.
The 11 acre vacant lot known as Victoria Village and identified as Lots 1 through 8, inclusive,
Block, A, Lots 1 through 9, Block, B, Lots 1 through 8, inclusive, Block, C, Lots 1 through 8,
inclusive, Block, D, Lots 1 through 8, inclusive, Block, E, Lots 1 through 5, inclusive, Block, F
also known as 225 Park Ave, Fraser, CO 80442 is the planned location of a significant
affordable housing project ranging from 150-200 units with a 30-120% AMI mix. This boost in
inventory would meaningfully address the projected demand for 688 attainable units in the
Fraser Valley over the next five years according to the 2022 Housing Needs Assessment Study.
The Operation Turnkey Grant from DOLA and DOH in 2022 secured the land purchase of
Victoria Village. The Town of Fraser is in the early stages of partnership with a development
team with anticipated contract execution in February 2023.The concentration for 2023 will
include master planning, infrastructure extension, and site design. These early stages will
require grant support, allocated Town funds, and fee adjustments to leverage additional federal,
state, and private financing to launch vertical construction in 2024 and drive project success.
Sincerely,
Mayor Philip Vandernail
Town of Fraser
