In the 2006 voters pamphlet I said, “I want to play a decisive role in finding cost-effective solutions that are in the long-term best interest of this community.” I have accomplished that in significant ways. The interceptor sewer is almost completed at a cost that is $30 million less than the original estimates. We have achieved major preliminary steps toward the necessary future expansion of our water capacity and minimized the expense by partnering with Tigard.
I want to continue shepherding several other initiatives that are in the beginning stages until they reach fruition. One of my major concerns continues to be attainable housing—both for young families who want to send their children to Lake Oswego schools and for seniors who want to age in place. As a result of my leadership on this issue, council has instructed city staff to work on revisions to the zoning code that will facilitate construction of clustered cottages with shared green space. I also envision Foothills being a great location for attainable housing.
City council has adopted the Lake Grove Village Plan and now we need to approve a feasible plan for traffic circulation on Boones Ferry so that the complete village plan can be activated. As many of you know, I have a fiscally responsible vision for the future of the West End Building.
I am seeking a second term so that I can continue the work that I have begun and help Lake Oswego achieve its full potential.
