Wyoming Ave. Precinct 4 — University of Idaho Owyhee 520 Boise Ave. Page 2B Wednesday, November 1, 2017 Homedale City Council Election Why are you running for offi ce?

Aebischer: “I will bring fresh ideas and help Homedale retain its rural atmosphere and foster a sense of belonging to the community for everyone.”

Anderson: “I have enjoyed serving on the city council, working with all members and ofﬁ cials involved with the city and look forward to another four years of service to the Homedale community.”

Downing: A desire to do more community service.

Muir: “To serve the community I live in and to learn more about the community to help make our city a place people want to live.” What are the skills and experience you could bring to the position?

Aebischer: “As a member of the library board, I became familiar with budgeting procedures and I discussed and voted on critical issues.”

Anderson: “My experience includes two years currently serving on the city council, running my own business for over 40 years, leadership skills for over 50 years, working with others and problem-solving, listening and learning.”

Downing: Eight years of learning as being on city council is an ever-learning experience. To properly research the issues, allowing for the most well-informed decisions.

Muir: “I have been a school board trustee for over 15 years and city council for one.” What are your plans for the position, should you win?

Aebischer: “My plans are to help citizens of all socio, economic and ethnic backgrounds to have a genuine sense of belonging to Homedale.”

Anderson: “To continue focusing on town growth. More homes for families, encouraging business to come to town. Encouraging the community to become more involved in our town, including city/community cleanup. Taking pride in where we live.”

Downing: “To show up for every meeting. To give (the position) the same consideration and effort I gave the previous two terms.”

Muir: “To make sure we are ﬁ scally responsible, ensure all the city’s needs are met and continually look for ways to improve our community.” What are the positive aspects of the city?

Aebischer: “Its rural atmosphere, ethnically diverse population and friendly, caring citizens.”

Anderson: “We live in a family-oriented town. It is friendly and a great place to live. We enjoy a sense of community. People are very involved in our schools, activities and the things that our children are doing. It doesn’t matter if you have kids in school or not, everyone can and does feel involved and want our children to succeed.”

Downing: “It has some very community-minded people that work hard to make this a great little city to live. It offers an excellent airport, school system and slow pace, know-your-neighbor atmosphere of a small town.”

Muir: “I think we have a close community and share the same values for the most part. During times of need, our community pulls together and helps each other.” What would you like to improve about the city? How would you go about accomplishing that?

Aebischer: “I would like to make the city safer by installing controls at uncontrolled intersections, and encouraging citizens to keep the city cleaner by acknowledging their positive efforts.”

Anderson: “Things I would like to improve about our city is to somehow be able to encourage the community to be more involved in city clean-up days. To encourage use of the parks we have, especially the Frisbee disc golf course. Maybe get to the point where we need to expand it. To encourage even more support of our schools and the Chamber of Commerce. I would also like to encourage more business and churches to build ﬂ oats, or whatever, to be more involved with the Christmas parade and Fourth of July parade every year. The more involved we come in our town, the better chance we will have of getting to know all of our neighbors in town, not just the ones who live on our street.”

Downing: Move to better enforce some of the city’s ordinances like weed control. Continue to look for grants to improve the Highway 19 corridor for pedestrian trafﬁ c.

Muir: “I would like to improve on the drug-related issues in our community. To accomplish this, I would say that we need 24-hour law enforcement presence and provide law enforcement with the tools to be successful. I would also continue our resource ofﬁ cer presence in our schools.” Wednesday, November 1, 2017 Page 3B Homedale City Council Election What are the most crucial issues facing the city? How would you address them?

Aebischer: “There is inadequate police presence. We need to hire a seventh ofﬁ cer. We need more preventative maintenance in the public works department.”

Anderson: “One crucial issue is our library. It is too small and not very functional for the community needs. Our community would beneﬁ t with more computers, books for adults as well as our kids, space for community workshops or classes. We need to pursue securing a grant for the library. One family has pledged $100,000 toward building a bigger library. We need to get more members of the community involved in raising funds for the library to go with the grant — possibly a fundraiser or rafﬂ e. Donations to the library are tax-deductible.

Downing: Finding a way to address our deteriorating city streets. Do the best we can to address the drug issues all cities deal with.

Muir: “I don’t see any crucial issues at this time. But the waste treatment facility may need to be looked at, and the swimming pool will have to be addressed.” What are positive aspects of the current city government’s direction?

Aebischer: “Our mayor is active in our community. The police chief is doing a good job. The public works department addresses issues professionally and in a timely manner.”

Anderson: “The current city government is going well and on budget. We have police presence at all our schools, we have been able to replace Goose, our police dog, and we are working on developing Peterson park.”

Downing: Getting our city employees’ wages as competitive as possible. Addressing citizens’ concerns and issues. Pursuing grants to meet the city’s needs.

Muir: “The city has been ﬁ scally responsible but takes care of needed things and always looking for ways to improve the city.” Where could the city government use some improvement?

Aebischer: “There should be more participation from all council members at all city functions. Citizens need to know who their city council members are and that they’re approachable.”

Anderson: “I think a couple of areas we could improve is getting and retaining another police ofﬁ cer. More pride and involvement in our community overall. We need to work more with our city leadership and neighbors. We need to be careful with our budget.”

Downing: “I believe that there should be more constructive discussion on issues. One of the most difﬁ cult aspects of being on a city council is having to say ‘No’ to some very wonderful but not affordable projects.”

Muir: “I think we could improve more community involvement with projects and business support. I also think we should be looking for more grant opportunities, if available.” In what direction does the city need to proceed? How will you get it there?

Aebischer: “We need to maintain our rural atmosphere as Treasure Valley expands by reasonably managing our growth. Don’t issue more building permits than infrastructure can support.”

Anderson: “We need to improve some of our water lines, secure another police vehicle, apply for grants to help with various projects. We need to ﬁ gure out how to encourage the community to become more involved in helping with improvement projects in town.”

Downing: “With the low tax base and thus ﬁ nancial restrictions the city endures, a conservative voice is necessary.”

Muir: “I think the city should stay on the current course. There is a long-term plan in place to make city improvements, and I support this plan.” What would you change about the city’s current policies?

Aebischer: “I don’t know of any policy that needs to be changed at this time. After I’m elected, I would vote in the best interest of the city.”

Anderson: “I think things are running pretty smoothly with our current policies. We need to encourage the community to attend council meetings more often, so they have a better understanding of what is going on in Homedale.”

Downing: “I would like to see the city budget match money for any signiﬁ cant grants that may become available.”

Muir: “I don’t think there should be any major changes to the city’s policies. I do think the policies should periodically be reviewed and updated if the need arises.” Page 4B Wednesday, November 1, 2017 Homedale City Council Election What are your views on the following issues? • Effort to expand the public library through a grant and before a taxing district is formed

Aebischer: “I’m in favor of expanding the library. The current library is too small for its patrons. It takes two years to become a taxing district; we can’t wait that long.”

Anderson: “Obtaining a grant to improve and enlarge our public library is the ﬁ rst step. It will be easier to form a library district after the community can see the beneﬁ ts involved with the new and improved library and how useful it will be.”

Downing: “A library district must be formed ﬁ rst. The city is hard-pressed to properly support the existing one. A tax district would equal a healthy library.”

Muir: “I support the library expansion project through the grant process. There is a solid plan in place. I don’t see an issue doing it before a taxing district is formed.” • Improving Homedale’s economy

Aebischer: “Citizens should patronize local business. I would always support a Shop Homedale First campaign.”

Anderson: “The ﬁ rst and immediate step in improving Homedale’s economy is to shop here in town more. The second would be to encourage and entice businesses to want to operate here (and) to show them beneﬁ ts of having a business here in our town.

Downing: “Promote and encourage a living wage industry any way I can.”

Muir: “I think we can improve our economy by promoting our city by letting people and business know we are here. Encourage our citizens to use our local businesses and make our city attractive for new businesses to want to move in.” • Addition of seventh police ofﬁ cer and the challenges of attracting quality ofﬁ cers now

Aebischer: “I am in favor of adding a seventh ofﬁ cer because we need adequate protection. We need more incentives for our police to stay locally by increasing their compensation.”

Anderson: “We defi nitely need a seventh offi cer. Many in town have asked for this as well. We need to fi gure out how to adjust and/or juggle things to be able to pay our offi cers what they need so they will want to stay here and not go somewhere else for more pay.”

Downing: “I feel that seven police ofﬁ cers (are) more than the city can support without limiting funding for other responsibilities. Turnovers are something Homedale will have to deal with.”

Muir: “I support the addition of a seventh offi cer. I would like to see the city have 24-hour law enforcement. They are our fi rst-responders to emergencies and keep our city safe. To attract and keep offi cers, I think we have to have competitive wages and benefi ts within reason and try to fi nd people who have a stake in the community.” • What should be done about the municipal swimming pool?

Aebischer: “The taxpayers receive direct beneﬁ t from using the pool. Rebuilding it would be cost-prohibitive, so it needs to be repaired.”

Anderson: “We need to fi x the pool once and for all. No more ‘patching’ it together. We need to get an experienced person to check out the pool and let us know what needs to be done to fi x it permanently. Then we need to budget and look into grants for a permanent fi x that we won’t have to worry about for a long time.”

Downing: “I feel the city needs to secure a grant and ﬁ nd the funds to properly repair the pool or backﬁ ll it in.”

Muir: “I feel the pool is a big part of the city recreation, and we need to have it repaired. The city needs to look at all options to ﬁ nd a lasting ﬁ x even if relocation is the answer if it is more cost-effective long-term.” • Pressing infrastructure needs, and how to keep infrastructure from deteriorating

Aebischer: “We are obligated to repair any pressing needs before they become emergencies. We need regular preventive maintenance.”

Anderson: “Our current infrastructure needs to need to be addressed with be Idaho Avenue. The state will be making repairs, but they won’t cover all of the costs. We will need to cover those costs as the work gets done. We need to budget in the near future for these needs. We also need to continue working with the schools for safety crossings for our kids walking to school and come up with a plan to entice new businesses to come to town.”

Downing: “Currently the city’s water and sewer fund is in good shape. We should do upgrades as they come forward.”

Muir: “The city has a strategic plan in place that is short- and long-term. I support the plan, and it is reviewed annually to update if there are more pressing needs.” Wednesday, November 1, 2017 Page 5B PPageage 116B6B PPageage 66BB MHS volleyball Antelopes move on players honored Avalanche Sports in football playoffs
