FEEL FREE to read on……..
1 > SAFETY
----Our citizens require effective response from our Protectors.
----Protectors include police, firefighters, paramedics and public officials including
Servants from Fish & Game, Water Districts and City of Encinitas Employees.
----We need to help our public servants giving them our respect, cooperation and
Thanks for their service.
----Please try to do things that help us protect everyone &…….
2 > OUR ENVIRONMENT
----We all want clean air, clean water, safe places to live and the encouragement
To help. So….
----Let’s pick up after ourselves by putting trash in its place, recycling everything
We can, making sure we handle our toxic waste properly and making suggestions
For Improvement.
----Understand that we need to do the right things the right way.
----Things have changed in Encinitas, and there is nothing more conservative than
Conservation, so let’s take a look at…….
3 > BALANCING PRIVATE & PUBLIC DEVELOPMENT
----Governments, including our own, need to constrain the concept of eminent domain
To areas in the Public Interest ONLY.
----Families need great parks and facilities to help themselves grow and thrive. We have
These now, but we want more.
----People desiring to overhaul their properties need to realize that requests are honored
and considered on a case by case basis. Please be patient, and understand the rami-
fications for everyone.
----Sometimes we feel the system is difficult to deal with. In the long run, Our Great City
Will best serve our people when they understand that one of our greatest needs is…….
4 > TAKING CARE OF BUSINESSES
----We know there are the usual inevitabilities to living anywhere. Here in Encinitas, how-
ever, there is always a chance for everybody to succeed.
----Concerns about any lack of inertia on any government’s part are quickly forgotten when
We encounter enthusiastic people providing goods and services as entrepreneurs or their
Designees.
----Take a look around. Smiling faces on people working hand in hand attract an awesome
Response from the public at large.
----Governments derive their revenues from a variety of sources. We know all our industries
Try hard and expect the government of the City of Encinitas to do the same. We expect the same things
Of our government as we expect of ourselves. We need to do our part in…….
5> SOUND FISCAL MANAGEMENT
----Yes, indeed, the contributions keep rolling in. Our Great City is expected to control the processes
Where our money is spent so that the balanced needs of all the People are met.
----Everybody wants a piece of the action. The responsibility of the Encinitas City Council is to guarantee
That the greatest good is accomplished in a timely manner.
----We need to make sure we have the cash on hand to fund what is in progress and plan for contingencies
that may arise. We have the responsibility to coordinate our efforts with other governmental entities
So that All the People Remain Free.
----Unfortunately, too much time and effort is spent trying to keep the system from feeding upon itself.
The challenge We face too often is the need to keep…….
6> BUREAUCRACIES WORKING EFFICIENTLY
----The City of Encinitas needs a competent City Attorney at our disposal at all times. We have one.
----If Our attorney cannot step in immediately, he makes sure an equally competent designee can pick
Up the ball and run with it.
----We understand that teamwork is vital to preventing anyone from getting over on US due to some
Legal technicality. A city of our size has deep pockets, and we cannot afford to be blitzed, blind-
sided or sacked if somebody drops the ball, fumbles or, God forbid, is asleep at the wheel.
----If something tragic occurs, we run the risk of losing precious resources and failing our Ultimate
Goal of…….
7> KEEPING TAX RATES LOW
----This idea is an absolutely irrefutable no-brainer.
----Economists throughout the years have proven time and time again their expertise in predicting
Everything but the Future.
----Any economist or politician worth his or her salt is absolutely positively sure that low tax rates
Lead to higher government revenues.
----Bank on it. There is a tremendous difference between thinking you know something and knowing
You know something. People who try to convince themselves otherwise about needing to keep
Tax rates low are kidding themselves and anyone else who might harbor such a belief.
SO THERE YOU HAVE IT!!!!
