THANK YOU Prescott Valley! 

Infrastructure

I have concerns about infrastructure not keeping pace with  growth. We need stop signs, sidewalks and  fire hydrants where none currently exist.
We need better roadway connectivity from east to west
The Town has long been reactive, and while there have been some improvements, the Town needs to continue to be more proactive in all infrastructure needs.

Growth

We can’t just close the door and stop growth. 
Growth is important for the long term  sustainability of the Town itself. 
What we need to do is properly manage growth. 
I  feel many  projects being brought forward today are being rushed and approved, at minimum standards.
  We need to do a better job planning for the future. I have always been concerned with the development and growth of our area and will continue to be vigilant to the needs of our
residents.

Public Safety

Public safety is one of my top priorities.
We have several safety concerns that impact our Town. Remedies need to be sought to ensure the safety of all residents.
Can emergency services reach you quickly?
Can you evacuate your neighborhood quickly, should the need arise?
 Factors such as street width, turning radius and on-street parking all play a part in response time.

Water

I have concerns about our Water Stability.
I have been told by Town officials that we have enough water to sustain a population up to around 80,000.
The “experts” claim there are three Lake Pleasants’, under our feet. 
I am a data-driven decision-maker, but in this case, I feel it’s hard to know who to believe.

Thank you Prescott Valley Chamber of Commerce for continuing the tradition of organizing one of the best candidate forums in our area. 
Happy 50th Anniversary PV Chamber!

Why did you decide to run for Town Council?

I decided to run because I enjoy serving my community, and I was encouraged by a broad spectrum of residents to run for Town Council because of my experience in governance. I love Prescott Valley and have a lot to offer my community. I have held nine elected, appointed and/or volunteer positions over the last 17 years, totaling over 7,000 volunteer hours served, and I have made more local “board level” decisions for our community than any other candidate. I would also represent a demographic of our community on council that is underrepresented.

 Metered Growth

Growth is important for the long term needs and sustainability of the Town itself – but we need to be able to properly manage growth, and changes in the law are going to be necessary in order to do that.

We also need to be looking at other solutions to mitigate water usage, such as rain barrels or residential cisterns. Other municipalities are giving rain barrels away for free to homeowners and businesses through public/private partnerships, and I feel this is something we can and should do here. We live in the desert and always have to be mindful of that.
