1. Do you believe the bequest from the Hamilton estate was spent wisely in
the construction and maintenance of the new gym? If not, why not—and how
would you avoid a similar problem in the future?
|
|
|
No. I don’t think the facility is the best way for Moscow children to enjoy these recourses. It seems like it will not be utilized much by the children. More time could be spent on money spending decisions to allow more options and to get the real heartbeat of the local kids and parents desires. |
|
|
2. As a Council member, what would be your questions, concerns, and
requirements if you were asked to vote for a zoning variance that would allow a large business (employing 100 workers) to be built on the outskirts of Moscow? Use that example to define your vision of economic growth for Moscow.
|
|
|
Yes. Conserns would be as follows: What is your environmental impact? Is you company moral and ethical? Will your company employ locally? Will your company spend locally? Who will traffic be affected. Is the new company replacing an established business? I would encourage large business to locate in Moscow. With a few 100 plus companies there would be a stabilizing effect to local small business. |

|
3. Are you concerned with the continuing depletion of the Grande Ronde
aquifer, and if you are, what specific steps would you want the city to take
to conserve that water source?
|
|
|
Yes. I would take steps to stop aquifer depletion, by approaching the biggest users first and reanalyzing policies. I have heard other Aquifers have been found to complement water recourses. My question, why do we need new aquifers
|
|
|
4. Should Moscow encourage, and begin planning now for, the creation of a new route for Highway 95 that bypasses the city?
|
|
|
No. The entire project is shut down until a four year environmental impact study is completed. The farthest I would like to see the Highway move would be to Mountain View Road.
|
|
|
5. As a Council member, how would you use email, websites, or any other
communication tools to inform Moscow residents about city programs or to gather input from those residents?
|
|
|
I plan to have a web page soon. City Council should have a post page where people can post comments and opinions. |
|
|
6. Please include biographical information about yourself and any other
message or contact information you want to share with Moscow voters.
