TAB 7
If selected as the next Manager in the City of Satellite Beach in the first six months I will:
Work with the Council to understand its objectives clearly before making any changes;
Dig into each issue that the City is facing.
Figure out what is working and what is not and look for alternative solutions where
things are not working; and
Identify the stakeholders in the community. Find out what their opinions are in regards to
where the City needs to change, if at all.
I understand that six months is a very short period of time and during that time it is important to
get a handle on the issues and proceed with as much information as possible. During that time it
is also imperative to read how the community and council react before making any major
changes.
I get along well with the media but unfortunately in Wilkinsburg, the Borough only gets covered
when something contentious happens. When I do deal with the media I am always forthright as I
can be without putting the municipality in a bad position. I understand media deadlines and
make myself as available as possible to answer questions.
I have nothing personally controversial in my background. The only people who might speak
out with the “dirt” on me would be people that are unhappy with the police services merger. The
community is a very difficult and highly politicized one and people are not always happy with
what is being done.
In my spare time, I like to golf, swim, boat and kayak. I also enjoy playing cards socially and
reading when the opportunity presents itself. Although I enjoy spending time at home, I and my
husband also like to travel. In addition to all of these activities, spending time with my family is
also very important to me.
Six Adjectives or Phrases I Would Use to Describe Myself:
Bright,
Sociable,
Funny,
Kind,
Open, and
Compassionate.
