April 9, 2024, marks my 100th day in office as 2nd Ward City
Councilmember. I hit the ground running and wanted to share highlights from the
first 100 days!
I have donated $350 to organizations with the “Chris Fisher
Gives Back Campaign.” This was a campaign promise to “pay it forward,” and it’s
making a positive impact in the city.
I have demanded accountability of taxpayer money by auditing
expenditures and doing one simple thing….Asking Questions! I refuse to “rubber
stamp” resolutions just because “that’s the way it’s always been.”
I voted no on 4% pay raises for the highest salary earners
on the city payroll. (These salaries are mostly six-figure incomes.) The mayor
increased the raises from 3% to 4%. I believe that excessively spending money
does a disservice to our city.
I helped a 2nd Ward resident file a home reassessment claim
which resulted in a reduced assessment. The inventory at the assessor’s office
was incorrect. A review of the property survey and a few forms, and the
homeowner had his assessment reduced.
I voted yes on the Riverview housing rezoning after the plan
was changed from townhouses to single-family homes in front of the apartment
complex. I attended the developer’s meetings and asked questions on behalf of
the residents. The compromise will benefit the neighbors and the whole city if
the referendum is approved in May.
I assisted 2nd Ward residents with sidewalk complaints to
get added to the 2024 City Engineers list for repair. When these sidewalk
issues are brought to my attention, I personally inspect and photograph the
issues and forward these to the City Engineer.
