I want residents to be informed on what matters are before the Town Council. Feedback from residents is essential for strong local government. When I ran for office, I promised residents I would keep them informed on what the Council was voting on and issues facing our community. Since I took office in 2019, I have provided summaries of key decisions and issues discussed at Council Meetings on Facebook. Now, I have expanded those updates to this platform to ensure more residents have access to my summaries.

Special Statement Made During Councilmember reports
The following is a statement I read during my Councilmember report on January 5, 2026. Tonight is the end of what is normally a two year cycle of five members of the town council serving together. This time, because we moved our elections, we got an extra 6 months together. It's a good time to be reflective on what is going well and where we have opportunities for improvement. I want to thank all of my colleagues for their dedication and the time spent serving our community.

December 1st Meeting Summary
On Monday the Verona Town Council met and had a robust agenda. The following are the highlights of what happened. We introduced a suite of ordinances for the 2026 pool season and passed the 2026 pool rules in our resolutions. I know many residents are passionate about the pool and concerned about it's financial future. Over the last few months, the Administration has received lots of feedback on the pool's rate structure and ideas to generate more revenue and reduce costs
