here - Satellite Beach

The challenges I see facing Satellite Beach are:
Development / Redevelopment of the three big parcels: I was part of a successful
redevelopment effort in Carolina Beach that, by including all stakeholders, was able to
produce a win-win-win for all involved. I will bring this experience to Satellite Beach.
Budget: My budgets have won recognition by the GFOA as being readable, concise, and
a working document that guides staff decisions throughout the year. I have extensive
experience in a Phase II Stormwater community.
Organization Structure and Approaches: I have been a change agent wherever I went. I
believe we all have to question how and why we do things in our jobs and look for ways
to improve.
During the first six months my efforts will involve:
Meet with and assess staff and the overall organizational structure;
Understand the current budget situation and projections for next three years;
Meet with Council to understand their priorities and the political landscape;
Consult with town attorney to understand current issues and risks; and
Learn about the key stakeholders in the community and how we can better meet their
needs.
How do you work with the media? Anything embarrassing?
I believe in transparency with the media and work to be sure that we fully use the reach
of the media to proactively share messages with the community. As others have said
“Sunshine is a great disinfectant”. I am not aware of there being anything captured by
the media that would be embarrassing or compromising in any fashion.
When it becomes known in your community that you are a finalist, are there any community
activists likely to contact our client with “the dirt” on you?
I do not believe so.
What do you do in your leisure time?
I golf and play to a 12 handicap.
