Palo Alto needs a new vision in order to preserve its quality of life.

I plan to focus on 1) Effective Use of Tight City Resources+ensuring all city departments strive towards maximizing economy and service; 2) Strategic Business Development Planning+promoting the health of Palo Alto businesses and creating policies to attract and retain businesses that will generate tax revenues that maintain high-quality city services; and 3) Overdue planning to tackle $400M+ infrastructure backlog.

I received the PTA Golden Oak award for exemplary service to the families and youth in our community and will use my leadership skills in business, schools and non-profits to effect change through the city council. http://www.dykwel.com
