Ward 1 Applicant Questionnaire <br />Page 5 of 9 <br />5. One of the most important tasks of the city council is to establish the annual budget. <br />What experience do you have in budgeting? How would you approach allocating <br />Louisville's limited resources? <br />As an owner of a business, I understand that creating and understanding the budget is an <br />expression of priorities and a commitment of resources to accomplish those objectives. <br />I have attended each and every budget meeting of the City for much of the past decade <br />and am familiar with the City budget and the process that creates that final budget. <br />My basic goals on resource allocation is to focus first and always on basic infrastructure -- <br />streets, public facilities, water, and public safety. <br />believe that we need to first ensure we can maintain what we have before taking on new <br />long -term commitments. <br />I am firmly committed to doing something well or not at all. <br />believe that limited resources should be used to benefit the greatest number of our <br />citizens as possible...while protecting those who can't always help themselves.
