Election Time!
August 7, 2010
Yesterday, one candidate in addition to Mayor Linda Lindholm and I filed papers to run for
city council and qualified for the ballot. I am looking forward to the exchange of issues
that always comes with any campaign and the opportunity to present voters with the reasons to vote for my re-election.
It has been an exciting four years and I'm proud of what we have accomplished. Four years ago, I pledged to focus on repaving
our streets, building a community focused city hall and improving traffic congestion. Today, we are in the middle of the
largest street repaving program in the city’s history. In the past four years, we have repaved more miles of residential streets
than ever before and by the time we are finished, every street in the city that requires attention will get it. We have broken
ground on a city hall that will not only be a tremendous community asset for generations to come, but is on time and under budget,
paid for with cash and will save us millions in rent. We are building at a time when construction costs are at historic lows and
we are investing in a facility that will bring long term benefits to residents. We also widened Golden Lantern at Paseo de Colinas
to ease the morning gridlock and are in the final planning stages to widen Crown Valley Parkway at the I-5.
Most importantly, these have been some of the safest years in the city’s history. We continue to bring key crime rates down and help
to educate our residents on how to stop crime before it happens. We are moving forward with our Safe City Plan and are on target to
be the safest conventional city in Orange County.
I’m proud of these accomplishments, but there is still much more to do. I’m confident we can complete these programs,
renovate our library, adopt a new Gateway Specific Plan and improve our recreational facilities, all without raising taxes or
fees and maintaining a balanced budget.
Laguna Niguel is still a wonderful place to live, work and raise a family, and I intend to keep it that way.
It has been a great privilege to serve you these past four years and I look forward to serving you for another term.
