Resident 31 years, 5th generation Cincinnatian Professional: Sibcy Cline VP, City Cincinnati Development Department Mger, Big Brothers/Big Sisters Program Director. Awards: Wyoming Citizen of Year, Wyoming Colonel Reily Award, State Ohio Historic Preservation Award, Cincinnati Bicentennial Medal Community Service.

2. What plans do you have to address your top three priorities? (100 word limit)

I will begin consideration of the top priorities in the new master plan thru coffees and discussions with residents. Then continue searching for additional ideas to accomplish residents' priorities while stretching our dollars as far as possible. Fiscal responsibility and fair taxes are critical. I would reinstitute a thorough goal oriented budgeting process that is ever watchful of how and where we spend our money. I want to ensure that Wyoming receives the best possible services/maintenance for our tax dollars. I will concentrate on private market & dollars to help improve and fill Wyoming's business areas utilizing creative incentives to accomplish that.

3. State three actions that you recommend to promote regional cooperation, and explain how you would implement each action? (150 word limit)

The City of Wyoming has a history of working cooperatively with other communities. It is important to continue that work, One issue now is the recommended I-75 Widening/ Exit Changes. The work to date has been good and will need to continue with neighboring communities, legislators, and ODOT in order to maintain the concessions already promised. These efforts help not only Wyoming but smaller municipalities and City of Cincinnati's neighborhoods will be critically impacted by proposed changes.

Increase leadership in the First Suburbs Coalition at county and state levels. This group addresses the needs of older suburbs surrounding large Ohio cities. Additionally, utilize the skill & contacts of Wyoming residents to provide leadership and inform legislators.

Help nearby businesses beautify their surroundings with a coordinated volunteer clean-up, paint, and plant weekend. City,Council, and volunteers could organize, and finish off with a potluck party & concert on the Village Green.
