ON VILLAGE FINANCES & TAXES

• As a financial professional and member of the Village Budget Committee, I understand the importance of a strong, strategic budgeting process.
• The Mayor, in conjunction with the Budget Committee, has initiated a comparative analysis of surplus and debt levels with similar communities. This must be a priority to determine future budgetary resources.
• During a difficult economy, we must keep our property tax increases to a minimum while maintaining our high level of services.

ON OUR PARKS -
• As a coach in youth sports leagues, I know first hand how much we need new playing fields.
• We must continue evaluating and prioritizing renovation plans for Flint Park, its ball fields, waterfront access, and finalize and implement plans for new playground equipment.
• We must continue assessing all of our parks, to ensure optimal use.

ON BUSINESS DISTRICT IMPROVEMENTS
• Current initiatives on replacing sidewalks, lighting, curbs, and trash receptacles are well underway and a terrific first step.
• We need to build on this progress, working with our local merchants, Board of Architectural Review, and Beautification Committee, to consider how to enhance building facades.
