I believe all Piedmonters should be able to participate in a dialog about our priorities for our City through a transparent and robust public process, including:
- Televising important City meetings
- Holding public hearings on major issues
- Commissioning detailed reports that cover the possibility of unintended consequences
- Honoring the spirit as well as the letter of our City Charter and the state's open meeting and public records laws.
- Respecting the credentials and mandates of our Council-appointed boards and commissions and considering their recommendations carefully.
- Establishing a culture of respect that welcomes and encourages public participation.
As a consultant to many cities and governmental agencies in California, I have 15 years of experience leading community participation processes and taking long-range plans through the political process. I believe this broad range of experience will be valuable on the Council.
