A Practical Common-Sense Approach
Focus on what Nelson City Council does
Council sets local priorities, approves budgets and taxation, adopts bylaws and provides direction for the municipal services Nelson residents rely on.
Council priorities
Public safety and community services
Nelson city Police, fire and rescue services, bylaws, parks, trails and playgrounds, recreation facilities, and the cemetery.
Planning, business and taxation
Community planning and development, business licences, City Hall operations, and municipal property tax decisions.
Personal priorities
Wood-burning stoves
I would not support regulations that restrict heating with a wood stove.
Noxious and invasive weeds
I would support the mitigation and removal of invasive plants within Nelson city limits.
City of Nelson Water System
Support the plans for a new wastewater plant and look at adding hydro-generating capacity to the Five Mile Creek fresh-water line.
