Poway Needs a change in Leadership.

 

• I think Poway does not want 3000 more homes on Poway Road, the incumbents voted for the increase.
• I think Poway does not agree with appointing outsiders to the council, the incumbents voted 4-0 to appoint.
• I think Poway does not want water to continue to go up 8% every year, the incumbents approved every increase.
• I know Poway does not want to continue to have the parks and facilities decline, the incumbents have let the parks degrade.
• I know Poway does not want continued errors costing millions of dollars, the incumbents do not have proper oversite of city operations.
• I am positive that having the pool closed in the busiest part of the year is not what Poway wants., the incumbents allowed this with poor planning.

As a resident of Heritage Hills since 2002 and daily park user I have watched a deterioration in the parks, management and planning in Poway.

Poway, one of America’s finest cities needs councilmembers that listen and respect the residents they represent. We need management that plans for the future while maintaining and improving our parks, trails, roads, infrastructure and open spaces.

 We moved to Poway because it was not Carmel Mountain with its traffic, high density, endless shopping centers and urban feel.

Now the “City in the Country” has declining parks and multiple high density housing projects with up to 20% less parking planned into the recently approved Poway Corridor Plan.

As a small business owner in real estate and someone who drives Poway Road daily, I think that means more traffic and more cars parked on side streets. I have a proven record of professional management experience in companies such as Jenny Craig and Pepsi turning around troubled systems.

 I want to Move Poway Forward by making Poway exceptional with world class parks, trails and neighborhoods. I ask for you to Vote Jon Ryan for District 1.
Please help me by giving me your vote. And please tell your friends!

 I think we need and will Vote for:

• Better Oversight of City operations
• Halting the backroom deals, shining daylight on the operations of the city
• Cleaning up and eliminating wasteful spending
• Bringing our parks and trails back to the level high they were 4 years ago
• Respectful treatment of residents by city staff

I am against:

• The appointment of of a person who only moved to Poway only 3 months before she became City Councilmember
• The pool being closed during summer and what is the busiest and hottest time of the year.
• The lack of maintenance at the city parks and trails
• Errors and problems in management that have cost us millions in overruns
• The current version of the Poway Corridor Plan which increases housing density and can reduce parking up to 20%

I know we have been promised this in the past and unfortunately its is a promise I do not think has been delivered. I am running to follow thru
