Ballot Statement

By Kathy Miller

Local Businesswoman, Attorney, Former Planning Commissioner

Our parks, pools and playing fields have deteriorated badly during this recession. As a volunteer, I helped gather over 5,000 signatures for a ballot measure to save them.

Our city's character and charm must be preserved and enhanced. I served on the Planning Commission from 2006 to 2009, one year as Chair. We reviewed and revised our General Plan, ensuring responsible economic development and neighborhood protections.

I served on the Petaluma Development Code Advisory Committee for two years where we also addressed development issues.

I will work to secure funding for streets and parks. I will support infill development to preserve our historic town while bringing jobs to our citizens. I will advocate for green building standards. I will work to give our police and fire the support they need.

Like you, I am a strong supporter of the Rainier cross-town connector and interchange.

I will always work courteously to build consensus with other City Council members on all issues facing our community.

I ask for your vote.
