Council Member; City of Piedmont

This information is provided by the candidate

I believe all Piedmonters should be able to participate in a dialog about our priorities for our City through a transparent and robust public process, including:

  • Televising important City meetings
  • Holding public hearings on major issues
  • Commissioning detailed reports that cover the possibility of unintended consequences
  • Honoring the spirit as well as the letter of our City Charter and the state's open meeting and public records laws.
  • Respecting the credentials and mandates of our Council-appointed boards and commissions and considering their recommendations carefully.
  • Establishing a culture of respect that welcomes and encourages public participation.

As a consultant to many cities and governmental agencies in California, I have 15 years of experience leading community participation processes and taking long-range plans through the political process. I believe this broad range of experience will be valuable on the Council.
