I have looked carefully at growth and development in our City. For any proposed subdivision, I support the need to ensure that the City has the ability to provide needed services such as sewer, water, fire and public safety.

I feel it is important to keep our City a SAFE place for all who live and work here. I support the police department and the concept of Community Policing.

During the last four years, I have supported economic and commercial development within our City and encouraged efforts to keep the architectural integrity of the historic buildings.

Growth in housing should at least meet the need projected in our City’s Comprehensive Plan for both single and multifamily housing.

As a City, we will need to work together to find ways to solve traffic problems and to provide park and recreation facilities for the community.
