Environment / Energy Preserve our unique and fragile urban landscapes, open space, ocean and coastline: We moved here for Laguna’s beauty. We have an obligation to future generations to protect and care for it, not allow it to be trashed or depleted like our tidepools, waterways, and treescapes. Criminal Justice / Public Safety FIre Safety: Purchase privately owned land in high severity fire zones to reduce the fire risks associated with development in those areas and preserve the green belt for future generations. Criminal Justice / Public Safety Solving Congestion: Plan how to limit so that we can get visitors and residents safely out in an emergency. Housing Establish Public/Private partnerships: To fund projects like affordable housing. Our artists, local workers, and seniors deserve affordable rentals. Infrastructure / Transportation Support development that is compatible with the unique architectural character of our town’s buildings and neighborhoods, such as we saw with the renovation of the Rivian Theatre. Environment / Energy The Canyon: Retain its rural nature as we promised and not make it the dumping ground for every large project. Infrastructure / Transportation Fix our sewer lines so there aren’t any more 3M- gallon raw sewage spills on our beaches and streets. Our city parks and landscapes need a lot more care. We also need to create native plant landscapes as these use less water and are more fire resistant. Environment / Energy South Laguna: Get families their own park and dog owners one of their own. Taxes / Budget Prioritize spending: Limit which projects to undertake, and fund those that benefit residents the most. Social Services Community Center: Turn the St. Catherine’s property into a real community recreation center for residents. Residents have been asking for a community pool and a skateboard park for over a decade. Isn’t it time we explore some of those options? Taxes / Budget Fund the City Council passed/promised projects first: Like the community pool and the 4.2M we have from the County to upgrade the Library. Environment / Energy We are moving to electrifying our City fleet vehicles and adding more charging stations and solar microgrids per my initiatives. We need to allow residents the right to choose renewable electrical energy over fossil fuels. I’ll be working to give residents this option so we can make Laguna a greener city. Criminal Justice / Public Safety Crime Mapping: Ensuring safe neighborhoods means giving residents tools like knowing what crimes are occurring where.
