Questions & Answers

1. What would you do to insure that the City's park facilities and future increases in the City's population are distributed throughout the City to fairly serve all geographical areas of the community?

Right now, there are parts of our community that are underserved in the areas of retail, parks and recreational facilities. I would focus on creating balanced growth for our neighborhoods, filling in the blanks that residents have long vocalized concerns about.

2. Do you have concerns with the present condo conversion ordinance; if so, what would you do to correct the situation?

My concern is that there does not appear to be any protection for those who are currently renting apartments that could not afford to stay in their homes due to the conversion. I believe we need to create alternatives for those residents affected by this and find ways to prevent pricing them out of our community.
