Dear Friends,
It’s official! My nomination papers for the Roseville City Council were submitted to the City Clerk on August 6, 2008. I appreciate your past support and confidence and am again asking for your help.
I want to protect our community’s values and family-friendly quality of life that has made Roseville such a great place to call home. I am a lifelong resident of Roseville. My entire family resides within South Placer. I am dedicated to preserving Roseville’s “All American” character for today’s residents and for our future generations. During my two decades of community service, I have built a reputation as an independent leader who does her homework and delivers results for the people of our community.
Experiences on the Roseville City Council and Placer County Water Agency along with chairmanship of water and electrical agencies provide me with the experience necessary to lead Roseville through the next several years of difficult economic times. My fiscal conservative approach to government is needed to maintain our sustainability and vitality as a leader in the region.
·
Former Roseville Mayor and City Councilwoman from 1989 to 1998 —I authored our city’s anti-graffiti ordinance, led the fight for a successful anti-smoking ordinance, and brought Nordstrom to the Roseville Galleria.
·
District 1 Elected Representative on the Placer County Water Agency from 1998 to 2006 —I’ve worked for a permanent pumping station on the American River to meet our future water needs. PCWA was recently recognized as the only one of 15 capitol-area water agencies that completed all of the water conservation tasks of the Water Forum Agreement.
·
Roseville Planning Commissioner —I helped to develop the specific planning process during the 1980’s that has laid the groundwork for the City of Roseville recent successes including our great system of parks and outstanding recreation programs.
The future of Placer County depends on innovative planning and fiscally responsible management. In light of the large developments now being proposed in West Roseville, the City Council must take a stronger role in protecting our quality of life. Most people, old time or new, came here to escape the poor transportation, air pollution and diminished quality of life from their previous place of residence.
My priorities have and will remain:
·
PUBLIC SAFETY - A safe community by providing the best police, fire protection and emergency health services for our residents and businesses.
·
UTILITIES AND SERVICES - Maintain and improve our utilities and services. Maintain low costs and reliable services which are essential to economic development and citizen well being. Make sure we have a safe water supply and parks for all of our residents.
·
REVITALIZATION - Continue the effort with revitalization of Roseville’s older areas to minimize blight and encourage private investment.
·
QUALITY OF LIFE - Continue to provide for and increase new businesses in Roseville with emphasis on quality jobs so people can afford to work, live and play in Roseville. Emphasize target industries like green energy, health care, and higher education.
·
TRANSPORTATION - Improve our transportation systems with an emphasis on providing more opportunities for alternative transportation options like public transit, bicycling, and walking to make Roseville a more pedestrian friendly city.
Again

soon.
