My thoughts on the need to maintain a sound physcal policy and a robust business environment.
Balancing the Budget Councilman Don Szerlip has been able to balance the budget without cutting services. He has reduced spending and not increased taxes. As he does with his personal budget, Don doesn't spend more than he has and he puts a little aside. He is always searching out new revenue sources so that residents won't have to pay more out of their pockets.

A Dollars Worth of Services For Every Dollar Spent Councilman Don Szerlip is a successful businessman who believes the City should be run on a business basis. He has made sure that the city does competitive bidding on outside contracts and that the city gets what it pays for. Don insists that contractors give their best efforts when working for Redondo Beach.

Jobs Mean Economic Growth New jobs mean a bright future for Redondo Beach. Councilman Don Szerlip is working to attract more quality merchants to the Harbor, the Galleria and at other locations throughout the City. Don has given us the financial security to plan for our future here in Redondo Beach.

Support Local Business Councilman Don Szerlip has also worked long and hard to support local business. He has initiated a business visitation program designed to keep valued employers here and has delivered on this promise to provide quality development. Councilman Don Szerlip means business for Redondo Beach.

Our Future Is Today! There is no magic or mystery about having a bright future for Redondo Beach, just a lot of hard work. It takes hard work on the details to bring about quality development. It takes hard work to keep our neighborhood streets safe and traffic moving. It takes hard work reducing city staff and controlling budget expenditures while maintaining city services. But hard work pays off when people feel safe in our parks, on our streets and in their homes.

Don Szerlip is a Councilman who never Stops Day and night, Don works hard to make Redondo Beach a better place for all of us. Thanks to Councilman Don Szerlip, Redondo Beach's streets are safer and the quality of life is better. "I enjoy knowing my work makes a difference" says Don.
