Questions & Answers

1. What would you do to insure that the City's park facilities and future increases in the City's population are distributed throughout the City to fairly serve all geographical areas of the community?

Intelligent Growth is the way to go. Parks are a vital neccessity in the city. As the population grows, so is the need for housing. I would advocate park-like settings for any large developments; along with parts of the property dedicated to the development of parks that are open to all residents of this city. Without straining or draining the city's financial resources, I would look into acquiring land for urban parks.

2. Do you have concerns with the present condo conversion ordinance; if so, what would you do to correct the situation?

Yes I'm concerned. However, we have a buffer that is viable currently. Rentals provide a source for affordable housing. If, and when, the condo conversion becomes a problem, I'll be very happy to look into it and correct the situation, as necessary.

3. Do you support restoration of Hangar One? And if it is restored, who should be responsible for its use and ongoing maintenance?

Yes, indeed. Hangar One is part of Mountain View's rich heritage. The use and maintenance of Hangar One should be the responsibility of the entity or foundation that is put in charge of the facility.

4. Would you support restoration of Hangar One if that would limit the effective restoration of Site 25 as a tidal marsh?

The most important factor is to clean the source of contamination; toxins in Hangar One.
