Read the answers from all candidates (who have responded).Questions & Answers
1. What experience related to city government would you bring to the city council?
I served one term on council in 2003 after five years on the planning commission. I spend an additional four years reviewing the city budget annually on the finance committee.I know how the city works. I have a good reputation and relationship with city staff. I have experience working with community groups and members across the political spectrum.
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?
My support of the General Plan would emphasize the downtown and Civic Center revitalization as well as the bike and pedestrian components of the transportation plan. I support development of a more precise plan for the downtown and Civic Center. I support the current review of the bicycle transportation plan.3. What would be your general policy be with respect to maintaining current levels of service during these difficult economic times?
The City's budget is prudently managed and so we have maintained service levels these last years, albeit with a couple of deferred hires. We can do that with continued, respectful and cooperative negotiations of our labor contracts.
