Position Papers
My Plan to add 20 new high-tech, cost-effective public restrooms at our 53 City Parks.
Did you know that Mission Viejo has 53 Parks and only 9 have public restrooms. I have a plan to add 20 new high-tech, cost-effective and affordable public restrooms at our 53 City Parks. The total price tag not to exceed $ 2 million for 2 types of affordable, low maintenance restrooms, (around 100-150 Sqft) with low-flow, no-flush & no- touch fixtures, ADA compliant, with solar panels and surveillance equipment that will discourage vandalism, violence and other activities.
Openness, Transparency & Accountability
Transparency and Openness 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 Priorities and Plans for the future of our Beautiful City.
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:
