Don't Let Heath Get Left Behind!

We will immediately implement the Ohio Checkbook allowing you to see where we are spending the money at any time along with broadcasting the City Council Meetings. By implementing the Ohio Checkbook policy it will allow you to look into the expense accounts such as Contractual Expenses which fluctuates considerably year over year and by expense category.

We need to make sure there is a NEED for every dollar we spend and not just a fleeting want. Improve existing amenities if the budget permits. We also need to plan for upgrades to the city utilities infrastructure .

According to the city financial statements for the years of 2023, 2022, 2021 they show $0 spent on Law Enforcement Training, we need to continually be training on the newest tools available.

From the Major Fund General/Fund Financial Statement the Mayor's Expense category has increased every year! Actual Total Expense (2023) - $228,500 (2022) - $170,700 (2021) - $144,838. The Administration Expense for 12 associates each year has fluctuated (2023) - $705,583 (2022) - $491,103 (2021) - $616,783. In my opinion the associates should be taken care of first before any raises to the Mayor's position.

Work with local agencies to select, train and assist whoever is willing to learn a new trade to be self reliant.

We need to take a team approach to improving the Heath school systems, when people are considering on moving, one of the first considerations is the school system. A great school system adds to our property values as it creates more of a demand for homes in our communities along with growing the elective courses that our students can enhance their future opportunities in the next steps of their lives.

With over 45 years of business experience including starting and opening brand new businesses along with running multi million dollar budgets I can make sure that Heath is in the forefront and maximize all opportunities to benefit the community.
