Housing & Urban Development

As I noted, I have been on City Council for the past 10+ years and we have enjoyed a great run of success during that time. Taking a budget that was near bankruptcy to one with a positive reserve in excess of a million dollars. Also addressing a declining infrastructure to a situation now that has the vast majority of our streets and sidewalks (including new/additional sidewalks) in great shape. I want to continue the positive trends.

We are a small city with a small tax base that is mostly funded by our citizens, so we must remain diligent and keep a strong hand on our finances. We also need to find creative ways to entice more businesses to our great city.
