City of Baker City Councilor {_getChooseLabel(this.selections.length)}

The members of a City Council supervise the city departments, either directly or through a city manager or administrator. City Councilors pass laws, set policy, decide which services will be provided, and develop budgets; they negotiate work contracts and make hiring and firing decisions. A city officer must be a qualified elector under the state constitution who has resided in the city before being elected for a period of time that is specified in the city charter.Baker City Councilors are elected at large. Voters are asked to vote for a number of candidates equal to the number of open seats. NOTE: The top 4 finishers serve for a 4-year term, and the next 3 finishers serve a 2-year term; they are elected on a nonpartisan basis. In most cities, the City Councilors are unpaid.

Budget and General fund. The city was facing a $1,000,000 shortfall. I would like to see new income sources that do not continue to tax residents. I would like to see the city save money.
Getting opinions from citizens and trying to utilize those in ordinances and policies.
Some of the roads are in need of repair. The watershed needs cleaned up. I would like to see a road tax since we have a high number of interstate vehicles so that money would come from outside the city.
