All San Bruno residents and business owners want a dedicated, proven and community active representative to look out for their current and future best interests.
For nearly ten years I have had the honor and privilege of representing the citizens of San Bruno. I am grateful for the support and the rewarding experiences that my community service has produced.
As a 28 year resident, I have been very active throughout the city, working tirelessly to help my community.
You've seen me at fundraisers, as a worker or a contributing participant. You've seen me at school events, supporting our children and young adults. You've seen me in parks, either coaching or supporting our many youth sports programs. You've seen me at the Senior Center, volunteering at the weekly Bingo or helping with some of their many events. It is a life that is full, rewarding and fun.
As your Councilman, I have been a part of many accomplishments.
- Approved and implemented Redevelopment - allowing our City to help fund commercial development, residential improvements and schools.
- Approved and continue to oversee the "Crossings" development with new quality rental housing and current construction which includes the much-anticipated and needed senior housing complex.
- Implemented the ongoing improvements of the Downtown, by improving landscaping, lighting and parking, in addition to creating a program to help business owners fund their storefront improvements.
- Implemented the continuing improvements to our cable, water, sewer and stormwater systems.
- Expanded and effective Code Enforcement - a difficult but necessary program to preserve our neighborhoods.
- Improved City landscaping by upgrading median strips and expanding maintenance.
- Approved balanced budgets and maintained a high level of City services, especially in our Police and Fire Departments.
In addition to those ongoing projects I will:
- Work to upgrade our residential neighborhoods with street and sidewalk improvements, better lighting and continued code enforcement.
- Actively work to seek community support and find solutions to build a new library, new swimming pool complex and new fire stations.
- Continue to actively support and participate in the many activities at the Senior Center, in addition to seeking solutions for expansion.
- Continue to support our Recreation Department in ongoing efforts to expand programs, improve parks and upgrade facilities.
- Continue to be protective and sensitive of residents and businesses as we prepare for the upcoming Caltrain Grade Separation project.
- Promote City-sponsored events and programs with all schools, public and private, including Capuchino High School and Skyline College.
- Help improve Community safety by supporting our Police in their efforts to prevent gang violence and other crimes. In addition, I will work to implement a strong and effective ordinance against dangerous animals.
- Continue to improve our Downtown, in addition to upgrading our commercial corridors by implementing new design and economic guidelines that are advantageous and sensitive to our residents.
- Promise to implement a plan to improve the entrances to our City, improving our image and greeting our visitors. Our gateways should convey a first-class impression.
- Continue to listen, ask questions and respond to all issues.
There are a lot of great things happening in San Bruno and a lot more to look forward to, but there's a lot of work to do and I've proven to be up for the task.
I am proud to be your City Councilman and I promise to continue to be your active and dedicated servant. To continue receiving the best service San Bruno deserves, please vote to re-elect Ken Ibarra.
