As my time as Mayor comes to a close, I am grateful for the encouragement and help of friends, family, organizations, businesses, local & regional leaders who supported and endorsed my reelection effort.
To the staff & colleagues, volunteers & residents who together created this wonderful community I have called my hometown for forty-one years…
THANK YOU!
moving forward
There remain unfinished projects that deserve Mayor/Council’s close consideration, including the completion of Park Place and the downtown enhancement, improvements to our publicly-owned assets, strategic consideration of economic growth opportunities, and sustaining our current commercial spaces with creative solutions.
We must welcome the challenge to finalize a long-term strategy to reach acceptable standards for our streets, to assist with the establishment of our municipal fire department, to implement the new MCSO contract, and to advocate for the International Dark Sky Discovery Center, all while tending to our infrastructure needs, including Fountain Lake.
Other important goals should include civility, unity, and predictable, fair governance, to ensure an equal voice and respect to all our neighbors. We can successfully move forward even with a variety of individual priorities by working together in good faith.
