Community Wide Meetings regarding City PrioritiesBy Andrew N. "Andy" WeissmanCandidate for Member, City Council; City of Culver City |
This information is provided by the candidate | |
I want us to hold meetings with the community, all of the community, not merely those who scream the loudest or the longest or with the most passionate sense of outrage; discussions regarding the City's financial position, the services we provide, the programs we offer and support, what else we might want to do and how to prioritize them given the City's financial position. I am committed to making Culver City the best possible place to live, work and play. The community at large needs to play an active role in helping to guide us in determining the future for Culver City. We know these are especially difficult economic times. Culver City's budget is structurally unbalanced. Our reserves are going down, not up. Business as usual can no longer be Culver City's business model. Things are going have to be different going forward. When talking about changing the way in which the City does business going forward, I think the justification for providing lifetime retiree medical benefits to elected officials needs to be re-evaluated. Councilmembers volunteer to serve the community. We ask that you elect us to represent you. Medical benefits during the period of our service as councilmembers, fine, lifetime retiree medical benefits after our terms are over, No. I will ask my colleagues on the council to agendize a discussion of ending this practice. |
