Questions & Answers

1. What are your qualifications for office? (50 word limit)

I have lived in Greenhills almost 22 years. I volunteeer for community projects such as passing out new resident kits, watering and weeding community gardens, and litter pick up. I appreciate our history and try to pass it on to others.

2. What plans do you have to address your top three priorities? (100 word limit)

1. I propose sensible redevelopment in our Village by renovating and reconfiguring the buildings in our historic district rather than demolishing them and replacing them with inappropriate infill housing.
2. I support improvements in the appearance of our Village by landscaping and other beautification efforts such as additional planting of trees and more stringent litter control.
3. I propose, to increase community involvement, that ordinances being considered by our council be conveyed to the public in a more proactive way and within an adequate time frame to allow citizen input before the ordinance is voted on.

3. State three actions that you recommend to promote regional cooperation, and explain how you would implement each action? (150 word limit)

1. Consolidation of purchases where feasible - Regionally purchase such things as road salt, highway cones, and other things that can be obtained in larger quantities that result in reduced costs for all.
2. Shared resources - Regionally share resources at reduced costs to member communities. As an example, if one community has an idle street sweeper, the sweeper can be loaned to another community that can not afford a street sweeper of its own.
3. Tourism based on history - Regionally develop tourism by having local communities showcase their history with self-guided tours. Patrons of these tours could pick up the maps from the branches of the Hamilton County Library, local municipal offices, or local historical societies.
