I was recently asked the following 5 questions by the Germantown Express News. I want to share them with you here.
Q1. Personal: How long have you been a resident of Richfield? What is your occupation and educational background?
A.) I have lived in Richfield for 22 years with my wife. At Northwestern Mutual, I work with various departments and groups discovering process improvement options. Beyond high school, I received technical certification in 1981 in the Information Systems field from Manpower Business Training
Institute.
Q2. What community organizations are you involved with? Also, what elected positions have you held?
A. As a member of St. Gabriel’s Parish I serve on both the Pastoral Council and Finance Council. As a member of the Richfield Lion’s Club I volunteer at the annual Chicken Roast in October and the Richfield Lion’s food tent during Richfield Days in August. As a member of the Richfield Historical Society I volunteer for the Thresheree in September. I also volunteer on the Richfield Days Parade Committee. I support the Richfield Lioness Club events and Richfield Volunteer Fire Company events.
A. Currently I am serving my second term as Trustee for the Village of Richfield.
Q3. Why are you running for Trustee?
A. My fiscal conservative values fit what the village residents desire. I want to limit taxes with responsible decisions for the future. I enjoy open communication and working with the many people I meet in the village.
Q4. What are two to three issues that Richfield is facing and what is your take on the village should address them?
A.) The cost of road maintenance. Richfield has approximately 154 miles of roadway that needs to be maintained. In the past, the town/village allocated $500,000 for road maintenance. The cost of petroleum has increased limiting the number of miles we maintain at the old budget level. The village needs to increase funding in the road budget to maintain not only the original amount of miles, but increase the miles of roads of roads being maintained yearly.
A.) Ongoing issue with land use within Richfield. Through efforts such as a “smart” smart growth plan, proper business development in the Endeavor Business Park and strict enforcement of the water ordinance will help maintain Richfield’s“Country Way of Life”.
Q5. Is there anything else not raised that you want the voters to know?
A.) One effective way to govern is to be involved with the residents of the village. I enjoy being involved and volunteer in the organizations where people assemble. This is one place where I learn what is important to the people I am serving.
