1. What are your views regarding the need for public transportation in your community to promote access to employment throughout the region?
|
Answer from Charles Marshall:
I am a strong proponent of a local transit service. While oncouncil, I have supported appropriations for the Norwood City Bus Shuttle. Also, I am in favor of expanding our local bus service to 6-Day a Week operation, funds permitting.The senior program utilizes the bus as well. I believe providing transportation for the elderly is an important part of our local transit system.
Answer from Amy Joy-Adams:
I am satisfied with the current public transportation system

2. Would you be in favor of county-wide campaign finance regulations that would provide for public matching funds, limit campaign contributions and provide for more disclosure? State your opinions on these ideas; whether you would support or oppose them.
|
Answer from Charles Marshall:
I oppose an additional set of county-wide finance regulations
to provide for public matching funds, limit campaign
contributions and provide for more disclosure. I believe that
state regulations already in place are more than sufficient.
Answer from Amy Joy-Adams:
I would support these options of campaign finance to equal the field

3. What are the benefits/detriments to land use planning prior to zoning decisions?
|
Answer from Charles Marshall:
Land use planning is a vital part of long term development. Preliminary planning is a necessary initial step for utilizing each parcel of property within the city to it's maximum beneficial potential. Consistency in zoning of adjoining tracts is very important for the city's citizens. That is why zoning should be decided upon after land use planning has taken place. This avoids issues such as spot zoning, which is disruptive to community life.
Answer from Amy Joy-Adams:
There is too much rushing into development to provide public input and research. This presents a hazard to public safety and financial burdens
