Experience

By Renée Morgan

Candidate for Council Member; Town of Danville

This information is provided by the candidate
I have a broad based background in Project Design and Review, Community Development, Historic and Design Preservation and local Small Business Ownership. I have been honored to live in Danville for over 20 years. I have deep roots in our Town. I have a 24 year old who attended Danville Public schools and a 9 year old currently enrolled. I am serving my 3rd term as a Schoolsite Council member which gives me a unique perspective on our children's educational needs and requirements. I have been helping our youth since 1989 and will continue to build stronger youth/teen programs. Making sure No Child is left without.

My daughter Chantee, her husband Ryan, and my granddaughter Brooke. Currently Stationed in Germany

As a Military daughter of a honored Command Sergeant Major (who passed of Agent Orange Cancer in 1996) and a mother in law to a son who is currently enlisted and has served 3 tours of duty in Iraq, I will continue to expand upon our outreach programs for veterans and seniors. I understand the needs of seniors, as I have a mother with late stage Alzheimer's. We need to implement a neighborhood watch/outreach program for our aging residents.

As a Planning Commissioner for the past 8 years I have worked diligently to implement Danville's Hillside Ordinances, Open Space Ordinances, Traffic Calming and Control Guidelines, Environmental Impact Reviews, Business Outreach as well as advising on our General Plan Update, to name a few.

As a Commissioner for Historic Design Review and Heritage Resource, I have strengthened our Design Guidelines for Heritage Resource I have advised on the Veteran's Building Redevelopment project as well as other historic structures. I have worked hard to maintain the integrity of our community and will continue to do so in the future. I have a broad based background in Project Design Review, Community Development, Historic and Heritage Preservation. It is these years of experience, education, as well as my years of community service which are a prerequisite to making decisions in the best interests of Danville . I will strive to make what is good, GREAT.

I approve Sustainable Danville. We must preserve and maintain our parks, fields and open space, urban limit lines as well as provide dedicated park easements. This is a fine balance which demands we manage our resources in a fiscally responsible manner to preserve Danville for future generations. Danville is a family oriented community. We need to devise a more stringent Traffic Safety Program and expand our Street Smart and Safety Programs. It is very important my son, friends and I can safely ride bicycles to school and parks.

These are just a few of the Commitments and goals that I have and will implement, as I truly care about our Town, the Town my family and I call Home.

During the Election campaign, I would be honored to have your support. On November 6th I ask for your vote. Greatness can not be obtained alone. It is the creation of many striving for the same goal. Let's reach that goal together. Thank you

It is this Experience, Integrity and Dedication and years of Community Service which are a PREREQUISITE to making decisions in the best interest of Danville.
