I am writing to request your support in my re-election to the Lewes Board of Public Works. I believe my technical, managerial and conflict-management skills have been and will continue to serve the rate payers of the BPW.
As one of the negotiators in the BPW/city dispute, I can confirm what one council person running for re-election stated in their responses to the Cape Gazette’s questions. In July 2020 the BPW offered to the city that all new service outside the city limits would require MCC approval. This would be written into our respective charters and until that point BPW has abided by this rule. I truly believed that this would have removed the main point of contention and allowed for a resolution; unfortunately it did not. I do believe that after the election, both sides can come together and resolve this for the benefit of our rate payers and the taxpayers
I have used my expertise to improve the performance of the BPW and also to make the City of Lewes a more resilient community so future generation can enjoy the same community that we have.
I am always willing to participate in the difficult issues, doing the research, talking to the experts and stakeholders, and then making the hard decisions.
I believe that the BPW has learned from and improved its operation from the events of past years. I have worked to drive a culture of learning and continuous improvement.
I hope you all have the trust in me to return me to office so I can continue to focus on improving the BPW based on all of your needs.
Please come out and vote Saturday, May 8, from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. at the BPW offices.
