Preparing to Serve

As any good project manager knows, success often depends on moving forward with multiple activities simultaneously. In this campaign, I'm working not only to gain your vote, but also to ensure that if I have the honor of being elected to Town Council I am ready to serve effectively from Day One.

I'm preparing to serve in multiple ways. Most importantly, I'm talking to members of District 2 about what you like and what you want to see improved. I appreciate very much the kindness and courtesy with which you have received me, and I've enjoyed hearing about the issues that you have shared with me. I've also been working to develop relationships with other individuals who have experience with Castle Rock policy and administration, especially with reference to economic development issues. I have attended almost all the Town Council meetings held since October 2011, and have learned about the key issues currently facing the Town as well as who the key players are. I've had an opportunity to meet and talk to key members of the Town staff, as well as meeting each of the members of the Town Council. Finally, I'm availing myself of the wide variety of resources available on the Town website at www.crgov.com. I especially have been rewarded by my investment in reviewing the Town's 2012 budget, and in reviewing the four proposals to provide a long-term renewable water source. Water is a key issue facing the Town Council in 2012, and I plan to be ready to discuss the various water proposals in a detailed manner when the 2012-2014 Council is seated in April. I would appreciate any thoughts you may have on what the Town should look for in selecting a long-term renewable water supplier.
