Education I will continue to work on creating city funded afterschool programs that will bring a wide range of benefits to the youth, families and our east-side communities. When the City invests in an afterschool program, it will boost academic performance, reduce risky behaviors, promote physical health, and provide a safe, structured environment for the children of working parents. Education I will continue to advocate for a paid tutoring program. This program will be a partnership between community HOAs and the City. Our young residents will simply attend tutoring sessions paid for by the city, at their community club houses. Tutors would focus on Math, English and the Sciences. Criminal Justice / Public Safety In my third term, I will advocate for more Police Officers to be zoned on the Eastside (Tamarac District 1). I will advocate for more community policing initiatives, which will increase trust between the Police and the Community. I will increase police patrol times in communities faced with Part 1 Crimes: Burglary Conveyance as well as crimes of opportunity. Taxes / Budget I am committed to voting to adopt a lower millage rate each year, that is, decreasing Tamarac Property taxes, putting money back into the pockets of Tamarac Working Families. Infrastructure / Transportation I will incentivize residents to car pool. Environment / Energy I am committed to a cleaner and more beautiful community! That is why in my third term, I will increase the maintenance schedules for cutting swales, medians, cleaning parks, power washing streets and trimming trees. By doing so, residents will always enjoy a well-manicured community. I am also committed to providing more funding under our Community Beautification Program to Home Owners Associations so they can beautify their private spaces and, I will work to incentivize more homeowners to beautify the exterior façade of their property. Infrastructure / Transportation I will continue to advocate for infrastructure projects and will advocate for a wall along Bailey Road from Lakes of Carriage Hills to Bermuda Club and along prospect road at Boulevards of Tamarac and Tamarac Lakes North. Infrastructure / Transportation Work with the Broward County Action Agency to provide free bus passes to Tamarac residents. Infrastructure / Transportation Construct a Community Center on the Eastside of town. Wages / Job Benefits In my next term, I will ensure that Tamarac Residents receive FIRST PREFERENCE for City Jobs and will pass a living wage ordinance so that our working families can thrive.
