considering historic preservation in Louisville. I believe we have a collaborative and progressive <br />HPC and this should be publicized. We have the opportunity to utilize current historic <br />preservation funds and reevaluate requirements (e.g., ADUs) in order to make progress towards <br />equity, diversity, and inclusion goals by encouraging housing diversity, and therefore more <br />inclusive housing options, in Old Town. <br />As a Councilmember, how would you view your relationships and interactions with each <br />of these groups and how would you hope to be perceived by each of them? <br />a. Residents b. Businesses c. City staff d. Developers e. Fellow City Councilmembers <br />As a professional, I practice ego -free, servant -based leadership. I strive to be a calm and <br />trusted leader who provides forward thinking, innovative solutions through critical evaluation of <br />data and productive conversations with team members. I view residents, businesses, city staff, <br />developers and fellow councilmembers as team members. Therefore, I would approach each <br />team member with respect and a desire to learn in order to understand the needs of each team <br />member and their group. As a councilmember I would specifically view my relationship with: <br />• Residents as one where I am an extension of their voices and am responsible for <br />ensuring that their interests and needs are considered with each decision; <br />• Businesses and developers as one where I am an open-minded community leader <br />invested in the future economic success of Louisville, yet considerate of the process and <br />rules currently in place; <br />• City staff as one where I am a collaborative and trusted partner walking side by side in <br />the same direction in order to achieve our goals as a community; <br />• Fellow city councilmembers as one where I am an open minded, calm, and thoughtful <br />team member who arrives prepared and engages in respectful dialogue. <br />I believe my leadership philosophy will provide the foundation necessary to successfully <br />collaborate with these team members in order to represent their needs as a councilmember. <br />Please review carefully the City Code of Ethics found in Sections 5-6 to 5-17 of the <br />Louisville City Charter. Is there any reason why you would not be able to serve as a <br />Councilmember and abide by the Code of Ethics? (If there is such a reason, please <br />explain.) <br />No. There is no reason why I would not be able to serve as a councilmember and abide by the <br />Code of Ethics. <br />Describe an ordinance or rule that you believe should be changed, removed, or added or <br />an innovation the City Council should implement and why? <br />As a community, we strive to honor the history of Louisville while planning for future success in <br />an environmentally sustainable and fiscally responsible manner. I believe communication is key <br />to achieving both. A sketch plan process could help to establish a collaborative partnership with <br />applicants interested in developing new or reimagining existing structures in Louisville. A sketch <br />plan process facilitates the exploration of creative solutions to issues such as inclusive housing, <br />historic preservation and commercial developments, with less up -front investment from the <br />
