I realize that we as a city and residents face challenges and difficult decisions when guiding the development and growth of our city, but I do feel there is always a happy middle ground we can find in collaboration and compromise for the overall good of the city. As an engineering project manager for many local agencies in the IE, I have clear knowledge and first hand experience with finding that happy middle ground when there are various stakeholder positions that need to be taken into Have you served or volunteered for other community services?
