Control Spending

I was fortunate to serve on the Naples City Council from 2016 to 2020.  In those years, I helped lead the efforts of three significant landmark projects.

1. Design and construction of Baker Park
2. Reconstruction of the Naples City Dock
3. Construction of the City’s Emergency Operation Center

All three of these projects were started and completed within my term, all under budget.

In the county, I have been concerned with the excessive spending that is occurring on landmark projects like what we are seeing with the Paradise Sports Complex which is currently $67 million over budget.  Budgeting for a project and sticking to that budget is a fiduciary responsibility of an elected official to its tax payers.  I have a proven track record of managing projects in budget which I will caring to the county level.
