A second Gold Rush is on its way to Oroville and the City Council must seize the opportunity to encourage development, growth and corresponding positive economics.

• Oroville has available land, water capacity and a capable infrastructure for the second Gold Rush of development.
• The City will have a crucial role in facilitating, coordinating and organizing new projects and encouraging expansion of existing businesses.
• The Oroville Dam Settlement Agreement signed March of 2006 provides a new investment of over 450 million worth of Recreational Improvements to Lake Oroville facilities.
• The Settlement Agreement also provides 60 million for local Recreation Economic Development projects that have nexus to the Feather River location through Oroville. The Supplemental Benefits Fund committee has already distributed the first of these funds and has its long term Strategic Plan in process.
• The Oroville retail sales leakage study has identified over 200 million dollars of retail sales leaving Oroville. Which demonstrates to business the potential opportunities to locate or expand into Oroville.
• The Buxton Report is now available for local business to benefit from the intelligence of Oroville's market area buyer habits, choices opportunities.

My 40 years experience with the City, My background and intimate knowledge of Oroville will provide a unique contribution to the Oroville City Council responsibilities.

My vision for Oroville:

I want to see Oroville that in 2025 can boast of being a City where families enjoy a high quality of life. An Oroville that will have a thriving downtown core, traffic that moves smoothly, clean air and open spaces. A vibrant, prosperous business community, which will provide good paying, jobs. Expanding the unique museums, theaters, and recreation for the culture and enjoyment of our family's. I want Oroville to be a place that my grandchildren, and your family will be proud to call home.
