The Diridon Plan

By Rod Diridon

The top priorities for the City Clerk should be to ensure transparency in government and public access to information, oversee the audit system to reduce government waste, and implement election cycles and good-government policies to build public trust.

• Stability and accountability: Rod will ensure the proper administration of the office and maintain open and unbiased access to government. He will have a Zero Tolerance Policy for any staff member who is not service-oriented.

• Saving Taxpayer Dollars: Rod will work with the Auditing team to look for ways to eliminate government waste. He will also propose a Performance Audit Pilot Program for the City to explore if there are efficiencies to implement to save taxpayer dollars.

• Good Government: Rod will fully implement the recommendations of the Ethics Ordinance and Campaign Finance Reform Committees. Through this, voters will have the ability to cut through misleading political electioneering and make educated choices that best reflect their own ideology.
