Why I am Running

• Eliminate future sole source waste management contracts.
• Revise annual budget process to include more informed input to Council and allow resident input.
• Clearly define City’s funding priorities based on critical service responsibilities:
  • police, fire, ambulance, water, sewers, streets, energy (electric/gas), and health related services to include safety codes.
• Reallocate venue (sale taxes) to align with City’s priority service responsibilities.
• Initiative to address needs of our children, disabled, and senior citizens.
• Reduce or eliminate unnecessary permit fees. Promote code compliance rather than code avoidance.
• Evaluation of the progress and endpoint (sales tax expenditures) for the Aviation District
• Compliance with Texas State Comptroller transparency guidelines to include:
  • Monthly posting of income and listing of expenses.
  • Monthly listing of Contract Services
• Require yearly Council Procedural Rules training for both Council and Mayor (Prevent stagnation in Councils’ ability to act.)
• Term limits for Mayor and Council members
• Increase lead time for Council review of agenda items.
• Require solid business plans for City Enterprise operations that insure long-term sustainability without additional tax burden.
• Monthly posting of crime, fire, and emergency services, and water, road, and sewer repairs.
• Address City noncompliance with municipal codes and Texas State regulations.
