This information is provided by the candidate
I support the following fiscal policies:

  • Focus on the long-term fiscal health of the City by adopting a two-year budget and conduct multi-year planning;
  • Build a prudent reserve;
  • Develop long-term strategies to reduce unfunded liabilities;
  • Control labor costs while minimizing layoffs;
  • Allocate one-time revenue for one-time expenses;
  • Require enterprise and grant funds to balance and new Programs to pay for themselves:
○ Any new expenditure requires revenue or expenditure reductions
○ No new capital projects until current program is funded
○ No new prorams that will increase our unfunded liabilities
