The voters of the City of Sacramento expect change, real change.
Property values continue to drop, communityservices have been cut
and the quality of life that make us uniquely Sacramento has been
lost. The solutions aresimple, realistic and clear. As Mayor, I
will set clear and transparent goals to make real change.
Promote City Efficiency and Reform = $3.15 million in Savings-
Reduce management staff by $2 million- Establish a management to
staff ratio of 1 to 15 minimum- Strategically invest capital
dollars to reduce maintenance and operations costs- Restore
afternoon City Council meetings- Verify city salaries through staff
job analysis conducted by the City Auditor- Promote strategic
service consolidations and intergovernmental partnerships- Maximize
Community Development Block Grants for front line services
Promote Public Safety = Safe Neighborhoods + Increased
Commerce
- Establish a 5% parking tax to support Public Safety raise $1.5
million- Increase police patrols in the Downtown and Midtown to
support business and commerce
- Develop a finance plan to restore fire services tied to the
$5.6 million SAFER grant- Establish a baseline level of service for
Police and Fire + establish baseline costs- Incentivize police
officer residency in the City of Sacramento (cost $360,000 per
year)- Promote and incentivize public safety service flexibility
(cost $1.08 million per year)
Promote Public and Private Development = Stronger Property and
Sales Tax Bases- Reduce development impact fees in dense areas of
the City with existing supportive infrastructure- Reduce
development impact fees for retail and commercial development
citywide- Promote long term sustainable funding sources for Park
and Urban Forest Maintenance- Promote development of the Phase II
of the Regional Transit South Light Rail Line- Develop a full
funding plan for the development of North Natomas Regional Park

The above represents three short term strategies to reform City
Government making it responsive to communityneeds, promoting a safe
environment and economic development. Reforming City Government and
supportingdevelopment will produce jobs for those in our
construction trades that have been hit hardest in the current
economenvironment. Investment in our public infrastructure and
increased community services will help to stabilize the dron our
property values and with it our General Fund resouces. It is a
realistic plan, and can be implemented now. Swhat is the long term
plan? Sacramento wont change overnight, but we do need to change.
We need new industand a stable sales tax base. We can create an
environment for that, but it will take time - heres how we do
it.
