Candidate for
Member, City Council; City of Murrieta

Issues: Growth [Key-Responsive Gov't.]: Promote the public trust by formulating articles and or by-laws to the cities' original incorporation which clearly focuses on the communities' at large expectation for an enterprise mix. These laws assure proper fit and consensus decision making in the spirit of community. Additionally, with this new attitude of conducting the political, social, business and economic affairs of our city,democratic principles, not personal agendas, serve to enhance the relationships between the elected officials, city employees, school board, business community, the media and residents of Murrieta. Development must cause all of us to consider its affects on K-12 student enrollments, traffic, pollution, waste and open spaces for sufficient parks and recreational use our residents expect and deserve. Therefore, I would encourage the development of high tech. R&D with the budding industries along the I-215 to the east. Reforms: [Key-Full citizen participation]: Mayor elected at large (majority vote & envoy to Local/State/Federal business development); Councilmen by districts (each segment of the community has an accountable representative & improved communications). To this add term limits to encourage a normal rotation of representation as the community grows and prospers and changes. Last but not least, planning commission members should be elected in order to round out the highest level of integrity. This model {taken directly from our nations freedom documents} tested and proven, is a leadership plan acceptable to all nationally. Another key leadership issue facing newly elected city councilmen is to form a broad based education coalition for legislative action which promotes and secures financial reforms. Funding allocations (redesigned by prop 13 which took away local control of property tax dollars in favor of state appropriations control, spurring the retail outlet boom to recover revenue in the form of sales taxes to the cities' income base) based on a per capita per district, and a magnet technology center for learning can be utilized to search out talent early on and assist us with the ever prevailing K-12 student populations growing at the projected rate of 15% per year for the next six years and desparately needed new facitlities construction. As for Murrieta's public safety employees, I would apply for grants from the Office of Community Oriented Policing Services, Department of Justice. These funds would serve as follows: development of technologies and automated systems to assist law enforcement with investigating, responding to and preventing crime. This may also include Moblile Data Computers(MDC'S) with peripherals outfitted to the vehicle fleet. Computerized training and video camera's are some other uses for these funds. Fiscal impact on the City of Murrieta---NONE---required of the City, one seperate account to handle transfers from the Comptroller of the U.S. to the police/fire fund via phone.
