FBG Standards

I believe I am a strong candidate for the current vacancy of council.  Fredericksburg and Gillespie County have been home since 2006.  As a council member, I would champion the opportunity to give voice to a generation of leaders that will make decisions for the next 50-100 years, and be able to experience them. Over the last few years, I have worked to build a collaborative and professional working relationship with nearly all department heads of our City Staff.  I have met with development engineers to prioritize specific budget funds for sidewalks.  My efforts include prioritizing a new sidewalk at the Washington and Austin Street Bridge.  I have been working to improve major pedestrian areas and promote specific lines in the budget, including our creeks. Every department needs more help. When talking to our IT Director, you can learn a lot about how much growth and expansion will be occurring and how we have outgrown our facilities.  Of course, this is true in all departments.  How do I know?  I have spent time developing a working knowledge of every department and their outstanding needs.  I have worked with a nonprofit called Fredericksburg Shines since 2014, currently Vice President, and recently, in collaboration with the County, FBG Shines was able to finance three new car chargers and just helped build the new dock at LBJ Park.  I have shown our City Staff and our elected officials that I offer leadership that produces results.  Those results are based on the expectations of our community, laid forth in “The Path to the Future.”  As a result of my initiatives, this document is on the homepage of our  city website.  I have always been dedicated to these initiatives and as a council member, I am committed to working together to build our path to our future.  Thank you for your consideration.
