I routinely engage in discussions with other homeowners at Legacy Ridge and Liberty Lake, who have expressed concerns on a variety of issues including, but not limited to concerns related to COVID, fire safety, package and car theft, vandalism, shop- lifting, vagrants, lack of response to 911 calls by police, increased traffic, length of time for road constructions, zoning, park usage by teenagers both pro and con, problems related to construction and variances. Some of these issues are highly controversial and thats precisely why they need to be addressed and give both sides an opportunity to speak. I spoke with someone just yesterday who does not share my views and encouraged him to apply for the vacancy. I told him that I value his opinion because he can back it up with facts and causes me to rethink my position.

On July 13, 2021, I was appointed to serve as a sworn member of the governing body and together we moved the city's agenda, made decisions, and set policy-I grew exponentially-it was an honor to serve on behalf of the entire community. Being retired, outside of council commitments and duties, allowed me to focus on issues that impact our community, its values, history, diversity, safety, security, infrastructure, economic and financial standing, general welfare, and overall quality of life. I worked to prepare myself for that which warranted complete understanding and forethought and I used the knowledge I acquired through my municipal studies as tools necessary to fulfill the obligations and the associated responsibilities. I am confident that I am qualified for the position, and I continue to be ready to serve the City of Liberty Lake Proper with pride. References -�-----------------!
