Michael French

New Braunfels City Mayor

Top Issues

Criminal Justice / Public Safety I will successfully introduce and pass a Crime Control and Prevention District (CCPD) for more funding with monies not coming from the citizens. Infrastructure / Transportation Water Reuse & Desalination with water recycling. Desalination using large-scale plants to desalinate brackish groundwater and seawater along the coast. Infrastructure / Transportation New Infrastructure & Storage with new reservoirs. Be a part of the state-wide water gird, and aquifer storage. Our city needs water from "Water Surplus City's". Environment / Energy Environmental Water and Basin Systems by working to ensure sufficient water is allocated for environmental needs to protect our ecosystems. Infrastructure / Transportation I will focus on future developments and I will be in constant contact and planning with Texas state leadership to recognize that New Braunfels must be labeled and known as a "Water Deficit City". Infrastructure / Transportation I will examine all future projects and ideas that will pass through City Hall and I will make sure that developers are held responsible for what they will and can do for congestion, what they will do concerning water conservation and how they will help our city. Infrastructure / Transportation I will look very hard on future developments and designs. All new future designs will have to have charm and contain an image of old town New Braunfels! This massive out of control growth is a real problem and I will invest my time to study all new development.
