Candidate for
City Council; City of Menlo Park

WILLIAM (BILL) H. HALLECK

Occupation: Landscape Architect

Education and Qualifications:

As a Menlo Park Planning Commissioner and Environmental Quality Commissioner, I have consistently supported sustainable growth. I value our mix of thriving businesses and family-oriented neighborhoods.

As a member of the City Council, I plan to continue to balance fiscal needs with residents' priorities, craft community-based solutions, and achieve consensus. I have worked in urban design for 15 years, as a Landscape Architect and Environmental Permit Specialist for the City of San José. I have served on a number of Bay Area watershed management groups, including a local task force for creekside land use regulations. I have a consistent record of working with communities to achieve consensus and resident-focused solutions.

I will continue working for zoning that protects our community's character and respects property owner's rights. I will support transportation solutions for safe commuting and reduced congestion. I will seek balanced approaches that will unite us as a community.

I have lived in Menlo Park for 12 years and have a teenager attending Menlo Atherton High School. I value Menlo Park's charm and character. My election will help secure the City's vitality. I ask for your support
