What do you find most rewarding about serving on the Council?

I like representing other citizen’s viewpoints…making their voices heard. I find it rewarding to advocate for proactive planning for our community’s future. I believe that we must strive for excellence in our quality of life by thinking not only of today, but also for our children’s tomorrows.
