Reference Notes
Paul “Andy” Stewart
Tab 11
Mr. Stewart has also helped the Association with public relation affairs. For example, after the
Association moved into its newly remodeled building neighbors complained to the City about
noise from idling trucks. Mr. Stewart worked with Mr. Callaham to swiftly solve their concerns
by moving all nighttime truck traffic operations farther away from residential areas and by
installing “no idling” signs in areas adjacent to residential areas. The adjustments he
implemented have satisfied the local residences.
Mr. Stewart’s other positive attributes include his ability to form high quality working
partnerships with businesses and other government officials, including with the Mayor and Town
Commission. He uses creative ideas to promote the City and increase both business
development and tourism. For example, he recently hired the local TV station to videotape
Dundee attractions and its business base. The City will present the completed film to prospective
businesses and screen it at the Depot Museum. Mr. Stewart is also fiscally responsible. For
example, he occasionally uses existing staff to help with construction projects rather than
contract out the work.
