Improve the safety of our city neighborhoods working with emergency services and community involvement to help protect our residents.
Development of a realistic street repair plan and enabling city officials to apply and obtain all available state and federal funding to put that plan into place.
Redesign the city tax code which is antiquated and unfair to our young people and older residents.
Answer from John T. Mumper:
Encourage the voters to vote for the renewal of our 8 mil levy to allow us to not just stay with the status quo but to allow us to work on streets and provide funds for capital improvements to our infrastructure. The renewal of this levy,Issue #39, should also allow us to start a reserve so that we can continue the progress of the past few years even if there is a downturn in the economy,
