MAYOR Rick Allen CITY ADMINISTRATOR Patti J. Larney CITY CLERK Sonny Harrell 508 S. 5 th STREET P.O. BOX 1191 (ZIP 71496) LEESVILLE, LA 71446 PHONE (337) 239-2444 FAX (337) 238-0464 www.LeesvilleLA.gov COUNCILMEMBERS: Chris Robertson Willie Mae Kennedy Nicole Ybarra DeLain Prewitt Alice Guess Phillip Hunt Letter of Intent By Mayor Rick Allen I am writing this letter to state my intention to run for the position of 1 st Vice-President of the Louisiana Municipal Association Board. Let me start by telling you a little about myself. In the private sector, I am a residential and commercial general contractor and the owner / partner of several other successful businesses. My experience with these varied enterprises has provided a wealth of knowledge that has allowed me to lead the City of Leesville, where I am now serving my third term as Mayor, to the secure financial footing it enjoys today. In addition, I am currently serving as the Chairman of the Louisiana Armed Forces Alliance, on the Governor’s Military Advisory Committee, and on the Vernon Parish Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors. As a small-town mayor myself, I understand many of the hardships facing Louisiana’s communities, especially the smaller ones. However, in my experience, it has become apparent to me that any challenge can be more easily overcome when we work together. And it’s my belief that that’s exactly what the Louisiana Municipal Association is all about and what makes it such a great resource. I am deeply committed to the work of the LMA and all its subsidiary organizations and proud of our accomplishments over the past year while I’ve served as 2 nd Vice-President. If elected to this new position, I pledge to continue to support the excellent work of this association in every way possible. I am grateful to have had the opportunity to meet many of you who are serving as Louisiana’s municipal leaders and I hope that, in the near future, I’ll find an occasion to meet everyone that I have missed. I look forward to hearing about the needs, goals and ideas each of you has for your municipality. Respectfully, Mayor Rick Allen LMR | JUNE 2023 Page 9
