What is your vision for the City of Cape Coral? What will the city look like after your first full term in office?

My vision for the City is for it to become the most safe and affordable community to live in Southwest Florida.

It will look much the same since my term in District 1 is limited to 1 year. (it’s the fufilment of a vacant a position on Council). However, I hope I can get some of the City cleaned up from existing property trash and to have the appearance of the median to the Yacht Club enhanced with some beautification.

What do you see as the largest challenges facing the city? What are your plans for addressing these challenges?

The largest challenges facing the City are: Taxes, Utility Expansion & Public Safety Facility

Taxes - Reduce spending which should help in the reduction of taxes.

UEP — Stop the expansion of Utilities till after the Water and Sewer Master Plan is revisited and updated. Stop the construction of sewers only in SW 5 until the Master Plan is revisited and updated.

PSB– This needed facility must be down sized with its cost being support by collected Fire and Police impact fees.

What are your plans for controlling the costs of government services, assessments, taxes and fees to our citizens and businesses?

Direct the City Manager to prepare and bring forth a 15 to 20 % down sizing plan for government services, taxes, and fees. A reduction in taxes will naturally have to follow for all.

What are your plans for improving the economic situation and general appeal of our city for current and future residents and businesses?

Those items mentioned above will provided some relief to the Community in this area and will encourage businesses to enter our City. I would support long term tax benefits to a business, but it would have to be tied directly to its number of employees or be lost.

What are your plans for using new communication and business tools provided over the Internet for residents and businesses to contact you, or for you to share your ongoing work with residents?

I will provide open and continuous communications for both residents and businesses through an e-mail address.
