Lindsey Clark

Oak Ridge Town Council

Top Issues

Taxes / Budget Enforcement of terms-- In some cases, negotiating liquidated damages during contract formation; agreed upon amounts that are to be paid to the Town if certain aspects of the contract, like project deadlines, are not met. Taxes / Budget Staying within budget. Using external funds to SAVE money, not bloat projects. Holding contractors accountable to firm terms. Taxes / Budget Contractors paid when progress is made-- Fixed bid contracts with milestone payments. Infrastructure / Transportation I also believe in doing what we can to promote the protection of existing properties from potential risks of the proposed pipeline project (Southeast Supply Enhancement Project (SSEP)). Guilford County, and now Greensboro, have both passed resolutions asking for a more thorough analysis of the risks involved. Legislation If elected to Town Council, I would introduce ordinances regulating public access easements to minimize impact on existing properties. Taxes / Budget Competition for projects-- Firm requirements for a minimum of three bids on any project work. Taxes / Budget No surprise costs-- Clearly defined scope to minimize later scope creep and change orders.
