Questions & Answers

1. What are your qualifications for office?

3 years serving on the city's Recreation Commission. Participation on the 2010 `Promenade' task force. BA and MBA. CEP, CRPC, CFS certifications. 35 year resident of the city.

2. What services do you believe should be considered basic and essential for the City?

I believe the basic and essential services of the city are those that help provide a safe, secure, and clean environment in which to live and prosper. At a minimum, that would include safety and protection services, infrastructure maintenance, and recreational services.

3. How would you balance the City Budget?

I believe my role would be to work with other members of council and the city manager's team to clearly outline and understanding where the city is spending its resources. I would look for ways to reduce waste or redundant services. I would work with council and the city manager's team to explore aggressive revenue management.

4. What actions will you take to support clean air?

I would look for ways to encourage less motor vehicle usage like the `walk to school' days being sponsor this year and the continued development of the hike-bike trail through the city.
