ELECTION 2011
Christine Kelly plans to seek re-election Mayor Janet Williams to run for second term
Janet Bohn Williams has announced her intent to fi le for a second term as mayor of the city of Savage.
She described herself as a proven leader with the expe-rience, interest and time to continue to make decisions in the best interests of all of the residents of the city. She fosters political stability and prudent use of tax dollars.
Williams is a lifelong resi-dent of Savage who saw the city grow from one square mile to 17 square miles with a popula-tion of several hundred to its current 28,000. She likes how the city has developed and wel-comes the new residents.
She is a graduate of Burns-ville High School and one of the fi rst women inducted into the Burnsville High Hall of Fame. She has a degree in social work, psychology and li-brary science from the College of St. Teresa’s in Winona and completed a MBA program at the University of St. Thomas. She is a retired public library administrator and during her career facilitated and managed the construction of fi ve public libraries in Scott County.
Raised with four brothers on the dairy farm on the cor-ner of McColl Drive and Lynn Avenue, she is married to Will Williams, also a lifelong resi-dent and retired math teacher from the St. Paul Schools. They have two sons, Chris and Kyle, daughter-in-law, Kelly, and two granddaugh-ters, Kayla and Clarissa, who all live in Savage. A son Jon is deceased.
She served on the Savage City Council from 2004 -2008 and as the mayor since 2008. As mayor she represents the city on the Burnsville/Savage Joint Committee, the Credit River/Savage Task Force, Depot Task Force, Savage Fire Relief Association, SCALE (Scott County Association for Effi ciency and Leadership) Ex-ecutive Committee and their Transportation and Economic Development Commission,
Metro Mayor’s A sso ci at ion and the Scott County May-or’s Group.
Her volun-teer activities include: cur-rent president of the Rotary Club of Sav-a g e , s e c r e -t a r y o f t h e Dan Patch Historical Society, board member of the Savage Arts Council, chairwoman of the Scott County Local Men-tal Health Advisory Council, teacher of the Family to Fam-ily Class for NAMI (National Alliance for Mental Illness), volunteer at M.W. Savage El-ementary School, Eucharistic minister and reader at St. John the Baptist Catholic Church in Savage, member Savage Cham-ber of Commerce who named her the Business Person of the Year in 2002.
As she refl ects on the past four years as mayor, Williams said in a press release that she is proud of what has been accomplished.
“Our tax levy has remained f lat for three years and we plan to do the same as we bud-get for next year. Police, fi re and snowplow funding has remained constant, our bond rating has been upgraded, we have continued with road construction, street preser-vation program and added a roundabout, we are planning for park and trail connections, accepted the Land for Public Trust donation of 69 acres added to Savage Fen Complex, have our fi rst ever large medi-cal building, a new fi re station to provide better response times, plan for orderly devel-opment and most importantly has fostered citizen engage-ment,” she said.
“While this list is not inclu-sive, there are still things that need to be done. I feel that with my history and experience I am the person to guide the future,” Williams said.

Christine Kelly has an-nounced she is seeking re-election to the Savage City Council. Kelly was originally elected in 2007.
“It is my desire to continue to provide leadership and vision for this great commu-nity,” Kelly said in a press release, “It has been an honor and a privilege serving the city of Savage and I hope to continue to do so in the up-coming years.”
While under Kelly’s vision the city has maintained a fl at tax levy. She believes that fi s-cal responsibility is crucial to keeping Savage a place where
residents can live and thrive. Under Kelly’s leadership, the city of Savage has managed t o p r o v i d e i t s c i t i z e n s with crucial services and much desired amenities. A balanced ap-proach has allowed the city to expand on much needed amenities such as the new Fire Station No. 60 and the Mc-Coll Environmental Learning Center without compromising
current services.Kelly cites the bond rating
upgrades as one of her big-gest accomplishments. The most recent bond upgrade to AA+ was due to the city’s ‘strong history and solid fi nancial management prac-tices,” according to the city’s bond counsel.
Finally, Kelly sought elec-tion in 2007 promising to work on developing public
and private sector partner-ships. Kelly has embraced these partnerships during her time on the Council. One such partnership preserved land as a part of the Savage
Fen while providing a future regional trail.
Kelly is married and has two children. She is in her eighth year volunteering as a Girl Scout leader and has been a team manager for her chil-dren’s Destination Imagina-tion teams for the past seven years. She is active in her church community serving as a recent chaperone on a youth mission trip to Los Angeles. As a Council member, she is the city of Savage’s represen-tative on the Scott County Transit Review Board as well as the Municipal Legislative Commission.
McColl plans to seek another council termAl McColl, a lifelong resi-
dent, has announced his intent to seek re-election to the Savage City Council, a position he has held since 2004.
He was previously employed by the city of Savage, having retired in 2003 as the deputy chief of police, and also served for 29 years on the Savage Fire Department, where he served 13 of those years as the fire chief.
McColl was born and raised
in Savage and has worked for the communi-ty for over 35 years. Having a deep passion for what goes on in the city, he has enjoyed the last eight years as a coun-cil member as he continues to give back to a community that
has provided so much for his family.
Since becoming a council member, McColl has served on various committees, currently including the fi nance commit-tee, Burnsville/Savage joint council committee and the SCALE training facility and is also the current acting mayor in the mayor’s absence.
While continually wanting to improve on the city’s cur-
rent bond rating, McColl states
it is imperative to also continue to work to fi nd ways to stabilize the city’s tax rate while being able to provide the services the residents have come to expect.
McColl says he believes the city has come a long way in its financial situation in the last eight years and he would like to take his management experience and vested personal interest in the community into the next four years.
