It feels great to live in Imperial Beach, the city looks better than it ever has! Under my leadership and with the help of the present and previous City Councils we have made Imperial Beach a great place to call home. Making promises that the Mayor alone has no control of will only disappoint the residents of our fine community. With the cooperation of the council, the residents of Imperial Beach and a dedicated city staff I do promise to continue to bring quality improvements throughout our city. I have demonstrated the ability to lead Imperial Beach in this direction. Experience really does count. Being a mayor is a difficult job. A mayor does not have the same influence and authority as a private industry CEO, which I am. Being a mayor requires more persuasive skills than decision skills to run a city. As your Mayor, for the past eight years, I've worked hard to ensure the City is responsive to all residents and businesses and that all are encouraged to participate. Working together, we have made Imperial Beach a better place to live, work and play, while protecting our small hometown atmosphere. Experience will be essential to continue our positive direction. My experience as your Mayor, successful business owner and as a United States Navy veteran gives me the unique set of skills necessary to weigh all aspects of City matters. My proven leadership on behalf of Imperial Beach has resulted in the opening of a world-class hotel, new businesses, continued neighborhood revitalization, increased revenues and lower crime rates. Under my leadership, investing wisely and spending carefully has helped us achieve financial stability. Maintaining this revenue stream is crucial to support City services and community needs for future generations. But there is still more to do. A top quality of a good mayor is honesty. Making unsubstantiated character accusations is not. Mutual respect is yet another essential quality of being a good mayor. Having been elected 3 times by the citizens of Imperial Beach, I have demonstrated that mutual respect. Management and Leadership Skills are also a key quality of a good Mayor. My peers and colleagues throughout the region have elected me as Vice-Chairman of SANDAG and the business community has supported me as President and currently Treasurer of the SCEDC. For over a decade, I have supported and been a member of the Imperial Beach Chamber of Commerce. I have participated and volunteered in numerous local programs and projects through-out our city for over a decade. For instance, on behalf of the Business Improvement District, my wife and I along with other local volunteers have been installing the Christmas trees at Triangle and Veterans Park for almost 15 years. Let's talk about what really is happening now. Under my leadership and with the cooperation of the entire city council, we are moving forward on more quality of life improvements including:
