: 3539 W 101st Circle Westminster 80031 : 30+ years successful management experience in electronics industry. Ran Japan operation for an American company. Worked with German/Swiss companies. BSEE degree, and Executive MBA degree from University of Denver. : www,coloradoformike.com; 303-748-7396 1) Thoughtful, energized, result-orientated 2) I have an ability to listen and respect differing thoughts and opinions, after years of working with people from different cultures, with differing opinions. I am comfortable developing strategic plans, setting budgets, and keeping promised commitments. I will be a strong force in representing the wishes of all Westminster residents. 3) Change the direction of the Mall development project (less congestion, more developer investment, less taxpayer dollars), I am one of only 3 candidates who have expressed strong opposition to the existing plan. Change the current strategic direction from “Urban Center” to more of a suburban emphasis. Return to taxpayers money that is being wasted, without their approval. 4) Fewer apartments, fewer people being crammed in there, larger investment by developers (so they have skin in the game and won’t be so quick to bail out if times get tough), less taxpayer money being used to subsidize these developers. 5) The taxpayers, in general, are being neglected, as millions of dollars are being used on high density urban dreams, instead of being spent on things that would benefit all of us. Remember the large item trash pickup? How about a water/sewer charge rebate?
