My Priorities and Plans for the future of our Beautiful City.By Desi Joseph KissCandidate for Council Member; City of Mission Viejo | |
This information is provided by the candidate |
A resident and homeowner of Mission Viejo, California since 1989, I'm a professional engineer, small business owner, lecturer, author, educator, community volunteer and businessman that understands Mission Viejo's history, heritage, traditions, the quality of life and our friendly community, as well as the need for openness, integrity, leadership, transparency, growth, fiscal responsibility, and accountability. As your elected official these are my priorities to preserve our City's splendor:Priorities:
- Bringing back Openness, Integrity, Leadership, Transparency, Fiscal Responsibility and Accountability to City Hall. Education: City Council's fundamental role in public education is as keeper of the purse. A City Council can't make laws that direct the school system. Each year Council must approve the City's budget, which is presented by the Mayor and includes revenue for the district(s). City Council also makes important decisions about tax dollars that flow to the schools and whether to give schools additional revenue. (By law they cannot reduce the amount.) As a member of the community Mr. Kiss is championing both education and sport. He also serves as an AYSO community volunteer and supports and promotes education thru soccer. Other areas of interest would include:
- To promote/support Saddleback Community College to upgrade its educational programs as well as encourage the development of a private online university in Mission Viejo in the next 3-5 years. Public and Environmental safety:
- Maintain the status of one of the safest City in CA. Support family focused quality lifestyle:
- Improving and Protecting the Quality of Life for all Mission Viejo Residents. Support for business and economic development:
- Business friendly practices and Codes compliance. We will work together to ensure the public trust and establish a system of openness, transparency, forums with public participation, and collaboration. Openness will strengthen our community and promote efficiency and effectiveness in the City Council. Transparency promotes Accountability and provides information for citizens about what their Local Government is doing. Public engagement enhances the City Council's effectiveness and improves the quality of its decisions. Collaboration actively engages Citizens in the work of their Local Government. In closed Local Government there is temptation for corruption because there is no oversight and accountability. My fellow Americans, Friends, Residents and Citizens this is my solemn and honest pledge to you. If you believe that we the people deserve a better government through openness, transparency, accountability and public participation and better days ahead, then please cast your vote on Tuesday, November 4, 2014 for DESI JOSEPH KISS( #8 on the Ballot).
