My 8 years on the City Council have given me understanding for where we’ve been and where we need to go. 

Open Space

• Preserve historical and rural character.

• Support local agriculture however we can.

• I will continue to lead and support efforts in prioritizing open land protection.

Housing

• Affordable housing is a widespread issue.

• Simply building more is not a permanent solution.

• Deed-restricted housing and offering an equity/ownership component is crucial

Sewer & Infrastructure

• Continue to meet health standards.

• Sewer planning is needed but challenging.

• Multiple stakeholders, multiple impacts to consider.

Zoning & Density

• Explore more opportunities to encourage reduced density.

• Provide options for “earning back” density through community benefits such as affordable, deed-restricted housing.

Taxes & Government

• Keep taxes low.

• Maintain unique community priorities (e.g., RAP tax).

• Maintain small government—efficiency.

Revenue & Economy

• Resort tax revenue: just enough beds to qualify.

• Support resorts while maintaining balance.

Short-Term Rentals (Airbnb)

• Limit VRBO to specific areas (TROD) and don't expand any more.

• Manage impacts of problem cases, possible loss of privilege.

Parking & Roads

• More work to address parking challenges in a fair way.

• Continue actively addressing road and trail needs.
