Most Important Issue facing Fountain Valley ResidentsBy Larry R. CrandallCandidate for Council Member; City of Fountain Valley |
This information is provided by the candidate | |
Fountain Valley Budget: Sacramento is out of control and we must constantly guard against the loss of city revenues. Our Public Safety area is always a concern of our residents and I pledge to continue Police and Fire personnel. However, water is also a very important issue now and in the future.Fountain Valley has a balanced budget that provides for public safety, personnel and equipment levels which have been maintained or increased resulting in public services being delivered effectively. Fountain Valley is the only city that balanced our budget without going into reserves and it is necessary to continue to be diligent in our contacts with Sacramento to keep them from raiding our city monies. The next most important issue then becomes water. Our residents need to be assured that the quantity and quality of our water is adequate to meet their needs, eventhough we are in very tight draught conditions. I will continue to support the groundwater replenishment program, salt water intrusing injection wells and continue to oppose other agencies attempts to obtain our water. In the area of Public Safety, I pledge to maintain our excellent reputation in order to attract and retain officers in our police department. I will continue to enhance police and fire with state of the art equipment. I will ensure ongoing training for police and fire to remain on the cutting edge of technology. Traffic is also a concern of our citizens. Fountain Valley has many motorists who only pass through our city. I will see to it that our officers are able to enforce all traffic laws so that traffic coming through Fountain Valley does so safely. I pledge to maintain streets so traffic can move swiftly and safely. I support continued modernization trends through installation of smart lights and similar new teahnology as well as traffic synchronization to assist the moving of traffic - safely. |
