Questions & Answers

1. What services do you believe should be considered basic and essential for the Village?

I believe that the most basic and essential services for the residents of the Village of Cleves include: police, fire and emergency medical services as well as street maintenance/snow removal. I feel that the Village does a good job providing these services--keeping Cleves a safe and secure community. However, elements that improve the quality of life for the residents of Cleves should be explored further, including: economic development; increased recreational and entertainment options; improvements to the infrastructure and hardscapes; open and transparent communications between the Village and residents.

2. How would you balance the Village Budget?

I would balance the budget for the Village by analyzing spending versus income in all departments, pursuing non-traditional methods of funding to create additional resources, and critically analyzing the need versus cost of any proposed purchase/expenditure.

3. What actions will you take to support clean air?

I will continue to support the EPA's on-going monitoring of local businesses. Communication with the public is critical, especially in regards to the safety and security of the residents of Cleves.
