What Jim Katapodis Will Do For You as City Council Member

By Jim Katapodis

A fiscal conservative whose top priority is public safety, Jim Katapodis will advocate of managed growth, economic development, and responsible government.

Jim will strongly advocate of managed growth, economic development, and responsible government. This City must have sound effective land use planning that ensures good traffic movement, necessary infrastructure, development that is compatible with the surrounding community, and affordable housing. Jim will guard against growing too fast and authorizing excessive high-density housing.

While guarding against poor planning and overdevelopment, Jim will facilitate economic development that provides badly needed jobs, new retail opportunities for consumers, land for industrial development, and new revenue sources for city services thereby avoiding raising taxes.

Surf City is a great place to live, but it will only stay that way if we establish and enforce sound policies. As a fiscal conservative, Jim will work for a cost-conscious, transparent government. Other cities are struggling to meet their budget needs and are cutting services, raising taxes, and passing the financial burden to its citizens.

As a strong believer in government transparency, Jim will work to ensure that Huntington Beach citizens have easy access to public records and the ability to voice their views before an open, objective City Council. More than ever good government requires the participation of honest, informed, and involved citizens.

A seasoned police supervisor with 32 years experience, Jim was a Sergeant-at-Arms for the Los Angeles City Council where he observed good and bad government. He has held numerous leadership roles, overseen million-dollar budgets, and dealt with complex legal issues.

Principled, experienced, knowledgeable, dependable, committed and responsive, Jim will serve effectively as your next Huntington Beach City Council Member.
