Much of my last term on the Council was spent on damage control; with developers; with unfunded park purchases; and with staff and service reductions, all while trying to achieve fiscally sound solutions for problems created by others. Resolutions for these issues may not be perfect, but they are workable and maintain our continued viability and ability to move forward and keep our community whole.

I conclude this term, however, knowing I was instrumental in securing $2,000,000 for pedestrian/bike trails, securing additional funding to complete the Highway 92 improvements, securing grants toward building new police and library facilities, initiating the first discussions with POST regarding the problems related to the City purchase of Stone Pine Park, helping coordinate efforts between the City, donors and local senior advocates to develop a comprehensive senior campus, obtaining a share of Federal stimulus funds for capital projects, all while implementing Measure D.

In the upcoming term my goals include updating the elements of the general plan, and conforming zoning ordinances to the general plan, insuring fluidity of the process and the continued transparency and responsiveness to the community.

My experience and dedication guarantee my continued conscientious service on your behalf. Vote for me.
