Carol has been very supportive

of these projects and has encouraged participation of local citizens as

well as city staff. With her encouragement we have been working with city

staff to incorporate the results from this research into a future stormwater

assessment that will ultimately be required of the city and hopefully

greatly reduce the amount of costly monitoring efforts.

Carol sincerely cares about

the impact that human activities have on the environment yet also weighs

cost of regulation that will ultimately be borne by the city taxpayer

to benefits received by the citizens. She continually looks for ways to

get the best benefit for the citizens with as little cost to them as possible.

The above projects are one example of this. She has taken a very active

role in pursuing the causes of fecal coliform contamination of Lake Edith

with the county board of health as well as supporting green space protection

and strong enforcement of sediment erosion control.

I have followed the other candidates

for this post and having reviewed their qualifications, I see no better

person to fill this position. She has served this post well for the past

four years and the citizens of the city would be well served in a second

term.
