Question the Candidates: II Geoff Young

What public service have you performed in the past year to help improve the Village?

During the twenty years I have lived in Larchmont, I have served two terms as a trustee on the Village Board, served as Fire Commissioner and Water Commissioner, was the Deputy Village Prosecutor and participated on many committees, including Parks and Trees and the Town Budget Committee. Volunteering has been an integral part of my life during the entire time I have lived here. Most recently, I have attended meetings of the Flint Park Conservancy and Board meetings on the proposed budget and talked to numerous residents, both volunteers and non-volunteers, about the local issues that concern them most. The plans for Flint Park and the use of our public space were mentioned by residents repeatedly. People are concerned as well about how to preserve our quality of life while keeping our taxes at an acceptable rate. I have also learned that people really want to be heard and to feel that their contributions are valued. I have decided to seek election again to yet another term on the Board because I believe that with my extensive experience in all areas of Village government, I can better represent Village residents and more effectively address their concerns than can my opponents.
