"There are three contributions I am proud to have accomplished and which I believe demonstrate my readiness to serve on the Redmond City Council.

I presented to Council a different perspective for enacting this new requirement – that in addition to reducing personal loss of life and possession of the homeowner, such regulations would also serve to reduce risk and injury to our fire personnel.
o A very dense new development was proposed for my neighborhood for 120 homes on 15 acres. During neighborhood meetings, I took a leadership role that contributed to a reduced application for only for 90 homes. Redmond’s new sprinkler ordinance required these homes to be equipped with water sprinklers. When the developer tried to avoid the regulation by breaking it into 2 projects, I got involved again. Under my leadership, our neighborhood rallied and I was able to make oral arguments before the Hearing Examiner that convinced the Examiner that ALL homes needed to have sprinklers, per the code as intended. The efforts by the developer brought to light some loopholes in the zoning code and I continued to lead our neighborhood to collaborate with city staff and ultimately the Council to bring about some helpful administrative modifications to help insure neighbors were properly notified and involved in the process."
