During my years of service to Gardendale and its citizens, we have made significant strides together:
Sustainability of a town is dependent on several key factors, one of which is the ability to attract young families on a consistent basis. Good schools are one of the factors that attracts young families. It is in a towns best interest to do all they can to help their schools be the best that they can be. We decided years ago this was a crucial part of the longevity of Gardendale. Today we strive to do all that we can to improve our children’s experiences and opportunities in the classroom and in extracurricular activities. We continually evaluate the process and reform it when appropriate. Our kids deserve our best effort to help make our local public schools the best in Jefferson County.
At Bill Noble Park, we strive to provide our community with a safe and modern place for sports and other events. Athletes and their guests come from all over the region to compete in Gardendale, Alabama. At Bill Noble Park, we are the perfect place for kids to enjoy the outdoors.
However, we’re more than just sports! We host multiple community events throughout the year. We host craft nights and summer day camps for children. We host community meetings, parties, etc, at the Event Center. We offer a state of the art playground area as well as over a mile of walking paths and/or sidewalks to enjoy.
Maintaining our roadways, storm water systems and our sidewalks is important to the citizens and our visitors. We work closely with our Public Works Department every year to identify where the greatest needs are throughout the City. We resurface and/or stripe those areas using dedicated gas tax revenues. We also partner with Jefferson County Roads and Transportation to maintain the roadways identified as “through roads” in our town.
We’ve added so many new businesses during this time even with stiff competition from surrounding cities. We have brought in names like:
All the while we have worked equally as hard to continue to support our existing businesses. We love and appreciate each of them and what they mean to our City and citizens.
In the next term my goals will be to:
I have spent my professional career managing problems, defining solutions to those problems and working hand-in-hand with people to implement those solutions. I am a “people person”. I believe my professional background and experience gained during my time of service as your councilman, along with strong moral values and a healthy dose of common sense, makes me a councilman that you can continue to trust and depend upon.
I have worked hard during the last 17 years to earn your trust, make decisions based upon experience, and maintain fiscally responsible principles; all the while striving to do what I believe to be right, just and fair for you the citizens and our town.
With your vote on Tuesday, August 26th, I will continue to work hard as a part of the team to further enhance Gardendale and sustain it as a premiere town in which to live, work and play. I will continue to have an open door policy. I will remain accessible and as responsive as possible to the citizens of this District and Gardendale.
It is because of these beliefs and qualities that I remain confident in my abilities to serve as your representative. I ask not only for your support during this campaign, but for your vote of trust and confidence on Tuesday, August 26th to serve as your Councilman and help continue guiding Gardendale into a promising, prosperous future.
Thank You and God Bless!
