Since stepping into the role of Mayor Pro Tem, one of my top priorities has been improving the foundation of our local government: our ordinances. The Town of Holiday Lakes deserves a clear, modern, and effective set of rules that protect residents, support growth, and reflect the community we are today. That’s why I have been committed to reviewing, updating, and amending our ordinances with care, transparency, and long-term vision.
This work is not always glamorous. It requires patience, hours of research, collaboration with council members, and close attention to detail. But it is essential to creating a stronger, more efficient community—one where residents can trust that their town leadership is doing the hard work behind the scenes to keep Holiday Lakes moving forward.
Although the position of Mayor Pro Tem/Mayor
is unpaid, my dedication to this town has never been tied to a paycheck. I have willingly invested countless hours, early mornings, and late evenings because I believe deeply in public service and in the future of Holiday Lakes. Every amendment reviewed, every outdated section addressed, and every improvement made has been motivated by the same driving force: my commitment to making Holiday Lakes the best it can be.
Key Areas of Focus in My Work on Ordinance Amendments
Modernizing outdated language to ensure our ordinances reflect current laws, best practices, and community needs.
Improving clarity and consistency so residents and staff can easily understand expectations, procedures, and enforcement.
Strengthening public safety provisions in partnership with our police department and emergency services.
Enhancing transparency so that residents know exactly how decisions are made and why amendments are necessary.
Supporting responsible growth and development that aligns with the vision and values of Holiday Lakes.
As I continue this work, my commitment remains the same: to lead with integrity, to serve with purpose, and to ensure that Holiday Lakes has the strong, updated, and community-focused government it deserves.
Together, we can build a town that reflects our pride, our values, and our shared vision for the future.
