1. Laguna Beach is a better place...

1. Laguna Beach is a better place now than it was four years ago. I

bring a proven record of accomplishment to the voters of Laguna

Beach. Please check that record at my website, https://www.LoveLaguna

Beach.com.

I am proud that I have run a positive campaign, based on my record

and my plans for our city. I am opposed to, and have not engaged in

negative campaigning in any form.

2. The single most critical issue facing Laguna Beach is the

potential loss of our four-star rated hospital, South Coast Medical

Center.

I am leading the fight to save the hospital. I will continue to

use every resource at my disposal to assure that South Coast Medical

Center will stay in Laguna Beach.

3. Parking and circulation cannot be separated -- they are the two

parts of a problem affecting residents, businesses and tourists

alike. I support the solution suggested by the experts: Put parking

where people want to park. This will minimize the number of people

driving around looking for parking spaces.

In Laguna, that parking is Downtown at the Village Entrance. My

plan, supported by local businesses and the arts community, provides

50% more Downtown parking than the plans of my opponents. My plan

provides parking relief for our impacted neighborhoods.

4. Six years ago, we had massive flooding Downtown. Three years

ago, we had a wonderful opportunity to solve this problem using $8

million supplied by the county of Orange and the Army Corps of

Engineers. For some reason, the other council members chose, at the

last minute, to reject this offer in favor of unspecified

“alternatives.” We are still waiting for those alternatives to

surface, our Downtown is still vulnerable to flooding, and the county

has given the $8 million to other cities.

5. The city of Laguna Beach has made low income housing a

priority. This year we completed a 27 unit low-income housing project

at Alice Court. We will continue to look for opportunities to build

similar projects.
