Priorities
The questions I want this council to take seriously.
These aren’t promises — they’re the priorities I’ll bring into every meeting, every vote, and every conversation with residents. If your priority isn’t here, tell me. That’s the whole point.
01
Diversified economic development
A stronger, broader economy means a more resilient Page.
Recruit new business
- So the City can keep providing services if one sector dips
- Pro-business, make it easy to do business in Page
- More diverse jobs and career paths for residents
- My kids will have a reason and way to raise my grandkids here
- Proactively invite events to be hosted in Page
- Create reasons for visitors to stay an extra day
- Foster new tourism opportunities, while strengthening existing
02
Affordable housing
Page can’t thrive if the people who work here can’t live here.
Active partnership, not passive hope
- Seek opportunities to partner with and encourage affordable development
- Work directly with developers already invested in Page
- Explore additional approaches beyond what’s currently on the table
03
Community engagement
A council that’s hard to reach is a council that misses things.
A unified communication plan
- One reliable, accurate source for City information
- Timely updates, as soon as information is available
- Multi-channel: meet residents where they already are
- A real path for feedback to reach an accurate response
- Form and involve committees, working groups, and task forces that reflect Page
- I will make myself available via phone, email, text, in person, group meetings at every reasonable opportunity
04
Public safety
Best-in-class services, well-funded and well-supported.
Fund and encourage excellence
- Continue funding our safety services at a level that attracts the best
- Ensure operational agreements with partner agencies are strong
- Active training, regular discussions, real cooperation
- Competitive pay
- Real support services for the people doing the work
- Explore partnerships with local schools to train and hire locally
05
Improved quality of life
The everyday things that make a town feel like home.
Aquatic and Recreation Center
- Youth and adult recreation in one well-run facility
- Downtown and other key areas — including the Haul Road corridor
- Transportation improvements and urban trails that link neighborhoods to amenities
06
Long-term infrastructure
The projects that determine what Page looks like in 2050.
Three priorities
- A second water straw: water security is non-negotiable
- Haul Road: get it right, once
- Vista: done thoughtfully, with the community at the table
07
Transparent decisions on big projects
Major decisions deserve public, objective analysis.
How big decisions should be made
- Anchored in the General Plan and Master Plan
- Backed by clear, public impact analysis
- Open to scrutiny before the vote, not after
