As a successful businessman, I understand the nuance of finances, balancing a budge, making payroll, use of tools and personnel, and integration of all skills to insure proper completion of projects and task set firth. As a sitting commissioner I have been instrumental in keeping a balanced budget while pushing through the appropriation of the new hospital and other projects.
I have learned that many situations change from one day to the next. In times of crisis or emergency, I adapt to the situation at hand but throughout all daily changes- my concerns and thought are for the well being of my constituents.
I am currently working with the Valencia County Fire Chief to get the VCFD state certified for transport (both medical and trauma) to decrease any delay of transport for our citizens.

By working with our local municipalities and state entities, we are creating a symbiotic relationship that supplies, maintains, and works toward a well planned and thought-out infrastructure. planning and communication are key to this.

The most important tool here is use of the comprehensive plan. It allows development in areas with proper designation and preservation in other area’s. Failure to utilize this plan will create the undesirable situations.
The county needs to have a long term infrastructure plan in place. The only way to fund these needs long term would be with long term funding requests to the State and Federal Government.
