I have <br />bem an active m��1bc�• of voth cities in which we have lived, ��'aIco�1 Hts and Rasevillc, from tl�e <br />first tz���e I called Falcon Hts City Hall to request a"baby swing" in our local park. I deeply believe <br />that we are responsible for maltiug � i i� world in which we live a better place to live. This means better <br />parks, better schools, better neighbors, better stewards of otu resources, and the like. I have lived my <br />life based on this fi����� belief. I also believe T1�at we need to wo�-k colla�oratively to e�lsure iliat the <br />collective co�nz��uz7iiy vie`��.vails. It is casy to let a vocal l��inon��tv rletem�ine what we do. We need __ <br />to ensure that a large s��nei�t of our population �artici�ates in decisio�l-making. In addition, as a <br />Member of the F�1�-�'r:j��'• :'ti i:: School Board for over 6 years, I U�-z��g a strong knowledge base abaiit <br />our cozi�s�uility and a great deal of knowledge about di�t�.�zc� 623 resources. � believe it is im��ort��t to <br />have a direct link between t1�e city of ��osevz�Ie and the school distr-ict. I know the area deinogra�l�ics <br />and as a board ���ex�aber, I l7ave ready access to materials and i��f'onl�ation that will be valuable as the <br />city moves forward with this visioning�rocess. I believe I ai1� a consensus builder. I�� 17ot a�i-aid to <br />tackle difficult issues, and I i�llly believe that Tr•-ri ti� voices make 1� � better, �vc�a the oncs with which we <br />disagree.
