Questions & Answers

1. What experience related to city government would you bring to the city council?

Budget management, project and staff management from Fortune 100 and startup companies, negotiation expertise from local commercial and residential real estate sales.

2. What components of the City's General Plan would you support or modify; e.g., availability of rental housing and revitalization of dowtown area, including the Civic Center area?

I would encourage re-evaluation of the "Circulation Element" of the General Plan which deals with transportation through the the city by way of motor vehicles, transit, bicycle and foot traffic. Many residents indicate that traffic is their top concern.

3. What would be your general policy be with respect to maintaining current levels of service during these difficult economic times?

The question should not be one of arbitrarily maintaining existing services, but of identifying what we can't do without and what we have to do creatively to fund these services.
