First 6 Months

In October I completed my first 6 months on the board.  What have I done with my time so far?

Fiscal Responsibility:  I worked with the County Administrator and the other 25 County Board Supervisors to approve a budget that reduces taxes and, to the maximum extent possible, preserves funding of quality of life items.  I have also supported ways to provide services in ways that are more effective and reduce costs.

Quality of Life:  I worked to ensure that important quality of life programs like 4H and our parks would not experience any financial cuts.  I have also worked to ensure that the privately-funded homeless shelter is supported by the County, while working with the Homeless Coalition to ensure that it is built in a way that works well within the community.

Reliever Route:  I have invested an extensive amount of time into learning more about the reliever route, so that I can be prepared to make an fully informed decision on this $20 million dollar proposals.

Promoting Citizen Access:  I worked to try to move County Board meetings to the evening hours, to give everyone better assess to our proceedings.
