2018 GSCDD Election Platform

•  Not driven by personal agenda.
• Reduce the dominance of the Stoneybrook community on the GSCDD Board which currently occupies 3 out of the 5 board seats (including my opponent).
•  Curb excessive spending on Lake Bank Restoration.
• Redirect limited capital reserves to projects that provide tangible rewards for all Gateway residents.
•  Halt double-digit budget increases. Live within the financial means of our community.
•  Work with the board to get things done more smoothly than has been done in the past.
•  Active in the Stop the Park movement in 2007 because it was a tennis-complex in disguise. I am open to a more diverse recreational facility for all ages providing that it is well planned, cost-effective, and properly secured for Gateway resident use only.
•  Enhance Gateway’s landscaping which has been stale for years. Get much better value for GSCDD $1 million annual landscaping spend. Good optics improves first impressions and enhances property values.
• Keen to hold regular Town Hall meetings to ensure Gateway Residents are consulted. Too many times I have seen GSCDD become heavy-handed and single-minded in its decisions.
• Willing to attend any HOA meetings for Q & A if invited. ? Ensure the Dog Park is kept clean and well maintained.
•  Provide safe streets for residents of all ages.
