ISSUES
PARKS &
RECREATION
Few communities provide as many high quality park and recreational
opportunities as Parker. It is essential that Parker continue to
offer its residents the highest quality of parks and recreational
facilities possible while growing to meet future population demands.
GROWTH
Parker is consistently voted one of the best places to live in
America. It is no wonder that new residents are moving to Parker
to experience the style of life we currently enjoy. Responsible
growth is key to Parker's future and maintaining our lifestyle.
Planning for the impact of future growth and building a responsible mix
of businesses and residents will assure the quality of life Parker
currently offers its residents.
- SMALL BUSINESS
Parker is a growing community with a strong local business
environment. The majority of businesses in Parker are small
businesses. They are the back-bone of the economic environment of
Parker, providing both local jobs and tax dollars. Providing a
business friendly environment is crucial for the continued and future
economic success of Parker.
- DAYTIME ECONOMY
A focus on the creation and expansion of a strong daytime economy in
Parker is of paramount importance. The economic base of a
strong daytime economy will assure the lifestyle we enjoy in
Parker.
- OLD TOWN PARKER
A strong, vibrant and cohesive
Old Town Parker is essential to our economic success. By
having a strong business and cultural base in the heart of Old Town,
Parker will not only have a rich and enjoyable destination for
residents but will also attract visitors who will enjoy the shops,
restaurants, businesses and cultural facilities of Old Town Parker.
I believe this addition to the Parker tax base is crucial to our
continued lifestyle success.
TAXES
Our taxes are the financial conduit that provides for the "behind
the scenes" structure of our lifestyle. However, tax
efficiency should be the priority rather than tax quantity. It is
crucial that Parker spend its taxes efficiently and effectively.
SAFETY
One of the principle functions of government is to provide common
safety. Parker has one the best Police departments in Colorado and
is part of arguably the finest Fire Protection District.
Maintaining the quality of Police and Fire Protection is crucial to
Parker and its residents.
