Questions & Answers

1. What are your qualifications for office? (50 word limit)

I have served on Greenhills Council for 10 years and made many contributions which have benefited the community. Several are: initiated annual Council planning retreats; originated "Concert On the Commons"; led the search for a new Police Chief; have been a strong leader and supporter of our economic redevelopment.

2. What plans do you have to address your top three priorities? (100 word limit)

I currently am managing a search for a new Municipal Manager. I will coordinate the entire hiring process with Council. I will continue to play a key role in helping with the transition of the retiring Manager and orientation of and support for the new Manager. For the past three years, Council has been allowing our developer and the Municipal Manager set the pace of the redevelopment. I will lighten my schedule to allow more time to become more pro-active in driving the development. I will take the lead in reviewing and enforcing all ordinances pertinent to community upkeep.

3. State three actions that you recommend to promote regional cooperation, and explain how you would implement each action? (150 word limit)

Greenhills has active mutual aide agreements with neighboring communities and has been an active participant and leader to the First Suburbs organization, to the county police, fire and Homeland Security efforts and other municipal management organizations. Our own citizens may not be aware of how much we are involved. We need to raise the visibility of this service to our own and neighboring communities to assure their continued support.

As our economic redevelopment continues, we are increasingly approached by other suburbs who want to learn from our experience. We need to document this so it can be done efficiently.

Many of the suburbs in our region are faced with common problems. We all need to be in communication, helping each other work through them. The success or failure of any community impacts all of us. Keeping our community media services strong plays a positive role in this effort.
