2 . What elected positions and / or appointed roles have you served in Laguna Beach , if any ? City Councilman , elected 2018
3 . Why do you want to serve on City Council ? I LOVE our community and love serving my residents . I have a vision for Laguna . It will remain small and quaint but will become more cultured . It will be a community whose quality of life will be more commensurate with the current generation who is decidedly more sophisticated and wants more out of their dining and retail experience . I will solidify our property rights gains and eventually abolish the Design Review Board .
|
4 . What are the City ’ s three biggest challenges and what are your proposed solutions ? Fire safety : I will continue my efforts to work with Chief King and our Fire Department to make sure my residents are safe , and all challenges are addressed and mitigated . We will bury the power lines in the Canyon and in neighborhoods where ingress and egress are compromised and represent a dangerous situation in the event of a natural disaster . We will continue our efforts enforcing the removal of hazardous vegetation .
Law and Order : I will continue my efforts with Chief Calvert and our Police Department to ensure the safety of my residents from criminals and transients . We will continue to employ a zero-tolerance approach towards crime . We will defend our Police officers and compensate them well for their efforts . Laguna will be the
|
safest coastal community in CA !
Property Rights : I will continue my efforts to streamline the building process in order to allow my residents to realize their dreams for their homes . Property Rights are an inalienable right and not to be hijacked by a group of tasteless frumps and activists who are protecting and enabling their cronies to control and inhibit great architecture and design . Village Laguna needs to get out of our way !
5 . What are your ideas for addressing traffic issues , parking in Laguna ? I will work with our City Manager , Shohreh Dupuis to identify pocket parking lots as well as identifying potential parking structure locations . I will also work with the CA Coastal Commission on potential tradeoffs with enhanced visitor parking and residential parking passes for neighborhoods . I ’ m
|
interested in how the Canyon can be widened to incorporate bike and transit lanes for locals and mass transit .
Give your stance on Measures Q , R and S . NO NO NO !!!!!! All three have devastating consequences for Laguna especially Q ( quagmire ).
If not elected , do you plan on staying engaged with the City ? I ’ ll be reelected and will continue to serve my community as long as I ’ m a viable voice . I have no intention of becoming a Council gadfly like Village Laguna / Laguna Resident First activists are . I have no need , or desire , for power and control . I seek only the betterment of Laguna .

What are the City ’ s three biggest challenges , and what are your proposed solutions ?
• Undergrounding the power lines / fire safety / pedestrian safety .
• The vitality of the city / vacant stores / future development .
• Climate change and the ocean influence on the beaches .
What are your ideas for addressing traffic issues , parking in Laguna ?
Traffic will never be solved . It will always be an issue . If the residents want to take over Coast Highway we can make some great improvements to the slow-moving traffic , slow the speed and improve safety at the crosswalks and improve the beauty of the highway Parking will also always be an issue , placing smaller lots outside the downtown is the answer . I believe much can be done in the Canyon before you get to FOA .
