Why I am Running for Council

By Roland "Ron" La Pere

By balanced development, I mean any additional funds should be allocated for the increase of our police force, in order to reduce crime in the city, and make safety of citizens one of the top priorities that we have to do.

We, as citizens, must be vigilant in our concerns and efforts to assist our men and women in the field, in their efforts to reduce crime, fight fires, and be able to respond in a timely manner to the calls for assistance for those in danger.

To continue to increase the beauty of our lake, the positive efforts to become known as a unique sports community, with hang gliding, motor cross, skate park, fishing, and water sports, for people of all ages.

As a member of the Planning Commission and a team player, to listen to the people in our community and involve those people in the decision process, while directly using my business experience and knowledge to assess the financial needs of our city and work to develop priorities that will be commensurate with the needs, all within the financial budget that is available.

Through all of these efforts, to perhaps lease the city in a better financial p[position, while giving back a part of what I have gained as a citizen of this beautiful city.

As I see it, we are together, building a better, safer pace to live and raise our children, for the future.

Ron LaPere, Planning Commissioner for Lake Elsinore City Council
