This information is provided by the candidate
Mission: To Change Bell City Government
Combined Mission Statement:

Our primary mission is to make the Bell City government accountable to its residents by providing responsive and transparent City government. To bring the City of Bell up to speed with the 21st century by constructing a coherent and informative website. To garner opinions and viewpoints from a wide audience of residents. To meet the needs of the people by making city government officials easily accesible. And lastly, to provide full economic disclosure to the community.

Our vision:

  • First, bring the community of Bell together under a responsive, caring, and transparent city government that everyone can respect. This will be accomplished by harnessing the trust of the residents of Bell.

  • Second, it is our vision to see businesses in the City of Bell thrive and to increase the value of residents' homes.

  • Third, to provide the community a public forum where ideas and improvements are discussed. We believe that City government has the responsibility to constantly improve with the needs and concerns of the community.

  • Fourth, our vision is to see that modern means of communication are used in order to gather community feedback.

  • Fifth, we believe the residents of the city are what make it a great city to live in. Our vision is to highlight the accomplishments of its residents. Lastly, our overall vision is to be a model small city in the southeast area not only for business but for living.

Purpose of the Campaign...

  • Transparency
  • Accountability

Concerned residents have brought up suggestions for an open transparent city government. To date there is no record of the monthly city council minutes. The community has not received any information on the current budget that the city is under. There is no readily accessible information online or otherwise. The website that represents the City of Bell is clearly lacking any real substance and it is grammatically wrong.

This city government is clearly out of touch with its constituents and needs decisive change for the better!
