Criminal Justice / Public Safety Refocus law enforcement traffic stops on safety-related violations to ensure police resources are used efficiently and officers remain focused on public safety priorities. Environment / Energy Move to require yearly testing for PFAs (a.k.a. “forever chemicals”) in the city’s water supply and production of a water safety report card that is easily accessible to the general public. Infrastructure / Transportation Expand Fountain’s public transport with more stops and 1-2 more regular buses. Healthcare Establish a committee to develop and oversee a plan to bring a small community hospital to serve the Fountain community. Housing Conduct a full review of zoning laws with the Planning Committee to identify and eliminate any redundant or over-burdensome laws that restrict production of new single-family homes, condominiums, and townhomes. Healthcare Create incentives to bring primary and specialty physicians/practices to Fountain. Infrastructure / Transportation Improve the city’s bicycling infrastructure in an effort to save families money and reduce wear and tear on city roads. Infrastructure / Transportation I support modest, strategic improvements to our public transit system to better serve residents who rely on it. Social Services We should work with schools, churches, and local businesses to offer more youth and family programs to help parents manage rising childcare needs while giving kids safe, enriching places to be. Infrastructure / Transportation I support creating more “third spaces” like upgraded parks, family-friendly businesses, and vibrant community centers where neighbors can connect and kids can safely play. Infrastructure / Transportation I support a practical, data-driven approach to improving our roads to reduce congestion and improve safety. We should also invest in better walking and biking infrastructure, especially near civic and commercial hubs, to make it easier and more affordable for families to get around while preserving our roads. Environment / Energy Maintain Fountain’s state-of-the-art water systems in order to prevent future water quality disasters. Criminal Justice / Public Safety Public safety is my top priority, and I believe it must be approached comprehensively to truly protect and strengthen our community. That means supporting our police, fire, and EMS services while also ensuring our families have access to clean water, safe housing, and reliable medical care. Criminal Justice / Public Safety Ensure law enforcement provides clear, written information about individual rights during and after a stop or arrest—promoting transparency, accountability, and trust between officers and the public. Criminal Justice / Public Safety Expand foot and bike patrols to strengthen visible policing, enhance neighborhood safety, and build trust through a consistent, community-based presence. Infrastructure / Transportation Add an express route to high-need areas, especially for times of high traffic volume. Infrastructure / Transportation Have the city engineer conduct a study of moderate- to high-traffic intersections and identify a small number of intersections that would benefit from traffic circles (over stop signs or traffic lights). Housing Work with the Fountain Urban Renewal Authority to investigate building a public-private partnership to bring 3-D printed homes to Fountain. 3-D printed homes are more energy efficient and durable, while being more efficient to construct and lower cost than typical homes. Criminal Justice / Public Safety Create an Alternative Crisis Response team to deploy trained mental health professionals, EMTs, and crisis counselors to handle non-violent emergency calls such as mental health crises, substance abuse episodes, and wellness checks. Environment / Energy I will push for annual PFAs testing in our water supply, encourage innovation in affordable housing, and work to bring both a community hospital and more medical providers to Fountain.
