Over the last four years I have stood up and fought to help make Saratoga Springs the “Envy” of Utah! Mayor Mia Love asked me to work with her as the Economic Development City Council liaison for the city and I think we accomplished a lot:
* New Businesses that have come to Saratoga Springs during my tenure: Kneader’s, Burger King, Del Taco, Car Doctors, Maurice’s, Verizon, T-Mobile, Sean’s BBQ, Pizza Hut, Yogurt Bliss, & many others
* What’s coming in the next six months: Taco Bell, Wendy’s, Panda Express, Popeye’s, and Roxberry Coming in the next twelve months and beyond: Café Rio, Home Improvement Store, Regional Mall, Movie Theater, Hospital, Business Park, Restaurants, Recreation Center, and more...During my first term as your City Councilman I made it a goal to create a more transparent and fiscally responsible city government. We needed to make sure that we were conservative in our spending and saving what we can for future improvements to our infrastructure. Some key things I was instrumental in implementing to address these points were:
* Hired a new City Manager, who’s mission is to make Saratoga Springs the best managed city in Utah
* Hired a new Finance Director, Planning Director, City Attorney, and appointed a new Judge
* Lowered property taxes, increased collection of sales taxes through economic development, provided free recycling (begins in the Fall), started the volunteer Library, Literacy Center, and Arts Council
