The questions were prepared by the LWV Cincinnati Area and asked of all candidates for this office.
Read the answers from all candidates (who have responded).
1. What are your Qualifications for Office? (50 word limit)
Lifelong Amberley Village resident who has attended council meetings regularly for 30 years and understands how this government works. Served on committees for the 50th Anniversary; Amberley Day; Stargazing; Ice Cream Social and Long-range Planning. Created and maintain Amberley Village History Room. Background in Quality; genuine desire to help.
2. What plans do you have to address your top three priorities? (100 word limit)
As a member of council, I will work towards replacing the million dollars/year in earnings tax revenue that we enjoyed from Gibson Greetings by recruiting hi-tech industry entities that employ scientists and others who command big salaries.I will coordinate with the Hamilton County Development Company to establish enterprise zones for businesses [in areas on Amberley's periphery already zoned for office/industrial use].
I will partner with the First Suburbs group to lobby for increased state funding for public works and roads projects and with county agencies to find additional funding for EPA-mandated stormwater management projects.
3. What steps would you take to ensure that all public facilities are accessible to people with disabilities? (100 words limit)
The Amberley Village Municipal Building, which was dedicated in September 2001, meets the current regulations set forth in the Americans with Disabilities Act to provide public access. The North site facility, flag plaza and even the playground area afford all residents and visitors the opportunity to use each area with easy access so there is no need to retrofit any public structure in the village.
4. What specific steps will you take to expand recycling services in your community? (100 words limit)
Work with our waste collection provider to add larger sized recycling receptacles throughout the village - in common areas [mailbox clusters; near community bulletin boards and next to salt barrels on the roads]I would post or publish a list of guidelines for recycling including which materials are accepted and which aren't.
Provide drop-off for hazardous materials [tvs, electronics, batteries, paint, chemicals] which people need to dispose of safely. Run a warning on the village website about the dangers of illegal dumping into sewers.
5. What steps would you take to provide affordable housing for all residents of your community? (100 words limit)
Amberley Village is an affluent community of luxurious homes and well-manicured lawns. Our current zoning does not allow for anything less than 1 house per one acre, so apartments, condos or smaller lots are not permitted.
