One role of City Council is

to regulate the development in our community. There are stringent guidelines

and laws to follow and arbitrarily making decisions could be devastating

to our community, both financially and environmentally. I am familiar

with the process and I understand the ramifications of decisions I would

make.

I also remember what Peachtree

City looked like in 1972, and I understand that if you cannot stop development,

it is important to ensure quality development. As Peachtree City reaches

build out, I would like to see the city continue to raise the standard

for development and place more emphasis on protecting our environment

and our lifestyle.

Members of City Council are

our ambassadors. They are the official voice of our community and represent

us in regional forums. It is important for us to elect someone who would

encourage an open dialogue and accurately represent us.

I would like to see more informal

workshops and time set aside at each meeting for citizens to address Council

with their comments and concerns.

It's been a common practice

for your letters to the mayor and City Council to be opened and answered

active role in understanding and addressing your concerns.

There are other aspects of

the job, such as setting policy and adopting local ordinances to protect

our health, safety and welfare. There are also limitations and budget

restraints. There are federal and state laws to consider and other governmental

entities to work with. I understand the impediments of our bureaucracy

and I will exhaust every avenue possible to overcome limitations that

stand in the way of achieving our goals and protecting our community.
