Achievements and efforts from his first term include:
Advocated and voted for a larger electricity generation rate reduction for Valley Clean Energy (VCE) customers vs PG&E (Now at 5% below PG&E rates).
Voted to approve a rate stabilization fund to continue those VCE discounts in years where revenues would otherwise make that impossible.
Successfully advocating for a new Fire Training Facility off Moody Slough.
Suggested merging the proposed Senior Center with the Community Center renovation, a project we can actually afford while still providing a dedicated space for seniors.
Took a suggestion from community members and proposed an incubator / cafe space in Three Oaks Park, brought it to council, resulting in a concrete pad with utility hook ups for food trucks and other mobile startups that will be installed Fall 2026.
Continuously advocated for city ordinances and policies that foster an environment friendly to people and businesses trying new ideas through reducing barriers to entry and unnecessary fees.
Attended 3 Strong Towns National gatherings to learn more about community focused design, and brought back concepts like quickbuild strategies that will help us address issues like street safety cheaply and effectively with broader council support.
