Candidate for
Member, City Council; City of Seaside

Steve, working with fellow Council Members, community organizations, citizens of Seaside, as well as neighboring elected officials has started the ball rolling on numerous economic recovery development projects and quality of life projects that Seasiders want. There is more to be done.

Steve's favorite project (selected as "very important" in the 2001 city wide survey by 87% of respondents) which is near completion is the Fremont-West Broadway City Center site and street improvements. Visualize a pedestrian friendly corridor starting at our town center, Fremont at Broadway and heading West all the way to the Embassy Suites and beyond. A sense of place, lined with thriving restaurants, a new hotel, coffee shops and boutiques along with our established businesses in the area. Incorporated within this area could be our new Library. Now look to the North and add the Auto Center Revitalization Project that is near completion and one can see a realistic pattern of improvements up and down Broadway and Fremont and beyond. Our Seaside Parks will be receiving more attention as evidenced by recent improvements at the Tennis Courts on Wheeler, Farallones and Durant Parks, new bathrooms at Cutino Park, and future improvements at Metz Park.

Lest we forget our opportunities in the Seaside portion of old Fort Ord. A new Fairmont Hotel at Bayonet/Blackhorse Golf Courses, the Residential Community Initiative housing for our military families, new interchange off Hwy 1 half way between Fremont and Light Fighter interchanges, continuing improvements at CSUMB, the Main Gate area with major regional retail and commercial opportunities and mixed use affordable housing, a new Monterey Bay Blues Festival complex, a Veterans Cemetery, Work Force Housing to the East of General Jim Moore Blvd., a new Seaside Public Works complex, as well as affordable housing nuzzled in between the golf courses and SunBay Apartments.

Steve will maintain continuity, momentum and team work leading to completion of these quality of life and revenue generating projects.

Our city is fully staffed and as we grow more excellent people will be added. We made it through past state budget crisis and will do so again, we are sure, with no layoffs and still offer competitive wages.

Steve is always prepared, always listening, and always trying to see beyond the immediate. He truly cares about the people of Seaside. He always has and we think he always will.

Re-Elect Steve. There is more to be done.
