As sure as Spring has sprung (and now Summer too) so too will the city see an increase in quality of life issues. While the city has a strong team of folks working on these issues, we need all citizens to work together to be Good Neighbors.
I, like you, care deeply about our city and its neighborhoods. After all, our city is only as strong as the neighborhoods that comprise it. As the former Vice President of one of our City’s largest HOAs and as a member of the City Council, I know the challenges our home owners are facing every day.
Neighboring blight, maintenance issues, noise violations and overcrowding are just a few of the issues that impact the peaceful enjoyment of our homes, cause property values to drop and lower community morale. I hope you’ll join me in working to make a difference on these quality of life issues in our city. The time for action is now.
