My two priorities are flooding and traffic, with accountability for delivering improvements in both.
In the first two months, I would press for a public action plan identifying flooding locations, practical interim measures, responsible staff, costs, and completion dates. This should include evaluating ways to prevent tidal backflow through storm drains. For traffic, I would request updated travel-time and intersection-safety measurements to identify where further improvements are needed.
Over the next two years, I would focus on completing priority drainage and aging-infrastructure projects, improving traffic flow, and making streets safer for pedestrians, cyclists, and drivers.
Hallandale Beach must work with Broward County on a regional solution while taking practical steps locally.
Reduction should start with City purchasing and operations: reduce unnecessary disposable products, encourage food-waste prevention, and evaluate cost-effective composting options.
For recycling, I support restoring a program with clear financial terms, contamination controls, and verification that collected materials are actually recycled. Residents and condominium associations need consistent instructions and convenient participation options.
Reuse should include partnerships for donating usable furniture, clothing, and household goods, along with repair and reuse opportunities that keep valuable items out of bulk trash.
Our City should coordinate with Broward County to preserve existing affordable homes and create housing that local workers can realistically afford.
I support faster, predictable permitting for qualifying affordable projects; partnerships with nonprofit housing providers; and carefully evaluated use of suitable public land. Development incentives should secure enforceable, long-term affordability commitments, with clear income eligibility and monitoring.
We should also evaluate appropriately scaled housing near jobs and transit, while accounting for drainage, traffic, utilities, and neighborhood compatibility.
I would begin with a public, service-by-service analysis of the revenue loss, legal obligations, operating costs, and consequences of possible reductions.
My priorities are protecting emergency response, essential infrastructure maintenance, sanitation, and services that prevent larger future costs. Before reducing services, I would examine administrative overhead, purchasing, contracts, vacant positions, and projects that could be deferred without creating greater expense or risk.
Potential revenue options include advocating for reliable state replacement funding, pursuing grants for eligible projects, sharing services with other governments, and reviewing appropriate user fees.
I have pressed for clear project priorities, measurable targets, and regular public updates so residents can see what the City promised, what it completed, and what remains unfinished. Meaningful participation requires accessible information and confidence that speaking up can make a difference.
I support neighborhood discussions, plain-language budget and project summaries, multilingual outreach, and opportunities to participate both online and in person. We should reach renters, homeowners, businesses, and anyone whose schedule makes attending meetings difficult.
I will continue listening respectfully to everyone. Unity grows when people receive fair treatment and see their concerns addressed through visible results.
