As a long term resident of Norwood, Jeff understands the challenges that can be experienced using Norwood's civic offices and procedures.
On Council, Jeff will fight for a strategic budget that forces all departments to reassess needs and address areas where it's long overdue to catch up to current standards and expectations.
Roads
Roads
A levy on the 2024 ballott to let resdients decids if new tax revenue is the way to fix our roads.
Current City Council has a long term plan to address our roads over the next decade. It's time to put up or shut up. Norwood citizens can decide if we should expedite the repairs with a new levy or if we should stop complaining.
Small Business Growth
Small Business Growth
Every system is created to get the results it currently gets. We cannot expect Norwood to sustainably grow without local small businesses.
Permit process and fees to start a small business in Norwood are prohibitive. Just look at all the empty storefronts along Montgomery.
Using budgetary and oversight powers of Council, Jeff will fight to update the policies and procedures of the Building Department.
Organizational Change
Organizational Change
This is Jeff's speciality. He has studied this field and currently teaches organizational change in NKU's MBA program.
Norwood does not lack good people to do good things. This is our greatest natural resource. Grandious change is a politicians pipe dream. If Norwood wants real, long-term growth, Jeff has a plan. It's not sexy. It's simple and surefire, but it's going to take some time.
We all know each other here. No elected official wants to fire a city employee who is your neighbor or relative. Lots of little issues happen that need addressed through accountability. Council can leverage accountability and prorgress through strategic budgeting. On Council, Jeff will call for monthly reports from city departments. These would highlight, for instance, the number of traffic stops or violent crimes. The Building Department would be required to publish the numbers of violations cited for the current Vaccant Building ordinance. When these numbers are publically available the residents will be able to see where our tax dollars are being spent.
