Questions & Answers

1. Since the biweekly schedule for council and council committee meetings often significantly limits the time available for public input, what changes would you make to give the public real opportunities to give input and to feel that their input is valued?

I value public input and understand that it happens through direct, one-on-one interaction as well as in public meetings. As to the direct contact, I will immediately make myself accessible through regular, publicized open office hours in at least two geographical areas of the District. I will not send staff to cover these but will be personally available.
