hael Richards] Mayor
I, Nicole Henning, duly appointed and acting City Clerk do certify that the
foregoing is a true and accurate copy of that resolution adopted by the City Council
of the City of Aspen, Colorado, at a meeting held, June 10, 2025.
Nicole Henning, City clerk
Mayor Richards and Aspen City Council,
I am writing you today in hopes for your support as I seek employment with The
Wheeler Opera House as a member of their technical team. It is an on call, part-
time, hourly position that assists the production crew with stage technical needs. I
have spoken with The Wheeler about the position and we both feel it is a good fit
because of my experience in theater production, previous employment at the
Wheeler, and availability on demand.
The Aspen City Charter contains a provision that maintains that a City Council
member wait six months after their council term for employment with the City of
Aspen. This provision can be waived by the current Council. With an
understanding of the intention of this provision, I am asking for City Council to
allow for my employment with The Wheeler Opera House.
Thank you for your consideration and if you have any questions for me please

Thank you,
Torre
