Good evening. I'd like to stop by thanking Bev cam and all the volunteers that work to put these messages together. Now I'd like to thank the voters award-three for putting their trust in me these past 12 years. For is your school committee member and these last eight is your city councilor. I look forward to two more years serving my neighbors. I've had countless meetings, constituent phone calls, city department meetings and city council meetings. We've done some fun stuff as well. Pump confests, Easter egg hunts, tree lighting ceremonies, and informative health fares. All initiated and sponsored by our efforts together. We have overcome several challenges and have had several more in front of us. Development is definitely a challenge. Now is the time to take a citywide approach to development and work out appropriate zoning and restrictions that allow for some new growth that does not change the character of our neighborhoods. I'm especially proud of the work as I've served as the chair of the finance committee these past two years. We have implemented industry standards and reporting and controls that have improved our financial management. In the eight years I have been on the city council six in leadership roles as a committee chair person and as council vice president. The city's financial reserves have grown from nothing to over nine million dollars. We have held the line on unnecessary spending while continuing our capital improvement of our school system, our road system, an increased recreation in open space. We have maintained a healthy balance sheet and bond rating so we can finally build a new police station without delay. We should be proud that we have been able to accomplish this in addition to our great responsibility educating our children, supporting public safety, and public services, and providing all those services as a successful city provides. It has not always been easy. We have had tragic fires, terrible flooding, and personal tragedies of the worst magnitude. I have student-fronted families devastated by fire and basements way steep with water and in citizens living room under the most challenging circumstances. I hope that I have brought resources, comfort, and hope in all of those situations. I found serving my neighbors to be a rewarding experience and asked that you allow me to continue serving you as your Ward 3 City Councilor and vote for me on Tuesday, November 7th. Thank you very much.
