Questions & Answers

In the article about Cooper, Keller and Rempp, it's mentioned they want the City of Salina to focus on the basics, it fails to mention our parks, recreation, history, arts and culture that is also apart of our city's infrastructure. What is their approach to these areas?

Regarding Parks and Rec, I think we can slow down expanding these options and focus more on maintaining what we have. Sometimes I wonder how we lived in our City in the decades gone by.

I believe that parks and arts and recreation opportunities are very important to community growth, but we have to make sure we are maintaining the things we have and taking care of them before building new things.

My approach to parks, recreation, history, arts and culture is to maintain what we have and insure its continued support. But the question associating parks and rec with infrastructure isn't correct.

Infrastructure includes: The city transportation, utilities, public services, city communications and waste management. Infrastructure is the main part of any level of government and is governments primary function for its city to be safe and healthy.
How many city commission candidates have been on a local board before? Do they have any knowledge of government or how any of this works?

A couple of decades ago I served on the advisory board of Central Ks Foundation and our Chamber of Commerce. In the last decade the local board for UMB. And last but not least, the executive board of Ks McDonald's Franchisees until I retired.

I have been on arts and humanties for a while now, and worked for Access Tv for around 5 years which meant filming every city/county/school board meetings during that time frame.

I have not been on any local boards, although I have applied for two separate boards. I have been on and facilitated my department advisory board when I was an instructor at Hutchison Community College. I had to develop our site program, coordinate with local officials for infrastructure support, manage our grants and funding to ensure that we could operate from year to year. I served in that capacity from 2017-2022, when I retired from full-time teaching. In my 25 years of military service (1978-2005), I served on several operations and planning positions in two separate periods of time (1987-1990 & 1999-2005), where I was the primary planning specialist. I have a good idea of how government or should I say a group of different entities must work together to accomplish the assigned tasks. While in the military I served as an Operations and Plans Noncommissioned officer in charge, coordinating with serveral different branches of our military as well as two foreign military units, combined into one military exercise. I served as the interim Airspace manager for the entire state of Kansas and served as the Airspace Manager for the Military Airspace for Smoky Hill Range. The military is in its own way is a form of government with its bureaucracy and separate departments that don't always work together without strong leadership.
