The Mayor and Board of Aldermen

Short background:

I’ve been the Ward 2 Alderman for twelve years.  My family and I grew up in South County.  My five sons and one daughter continue to make me proud of their work ethic and their great family unity.

Favorite things about Green Park:

Of course the best part of Green Park are its people.  Who can beat our low crime rate and its great roads.  I am also very proud of the way the citizens are able to enjoy free trash pick-up, recycling, and free yard waste pick-up.  It’s the trails we have made for our citizens to be linked with Trailnet for their walking pleasure.  It’s also the ability to have a beautiful trail to use for their biking or simply walking through our boundless natural settings.

Major and minor changes I would like to see:

The first priority the coming year is to remain focused on the continued development of our City’s primary roads, including the reconstruction of Mueller Road.  I would love to see Mueller Road become a signature boulevard with a very historic look.

Comments:
I am extremely proud to serve the residents of the City of Green Park as their Mayor.  I would also like to start spotlighting our local businesses so our citizens know more about their services.

 Short background:

I’ve been in Green Park for about 21 years; living in South County for more than 30 years. Involved with South County Chamber for almost 20 years and Past President of the South County Chamber of Commerce. Alderman for the past 20 years. Member of the St. Louis Association of Realtors.

The City government puts the needs and long term benefits of the population first. We plan for the betterment of the whole community. Having Clydesdale Park and Grants Trail within our City is a very good benefit to all, and the fact that our City offers free trash and yard trash pick-up is another plus.

It would be nice to have signage showing that you’re in Green Park off of the major streets.

Short background:

Born and raised in the city of St. Louis, and attended public schools for primary and secondary education; military veteran who served as a paratrooper in the Army’s storied 82nd Airborne Division; hold an Associates Degree in Law Enforcement from Meramec Community College & a Bachelors Degree in Criminal Justice from University of Missouri-St. Louis; experience in law enforcement (City of St. Louis), private security, risk management, claims investigation, sales & marketing, Kwik-Kopy franchise owner/operator in South County.  Married, adult children (not at home) and a resident property owner in Green Park since May of 2002.

Favorite thing about Green Park:

Green Park is the geographic hub of South County and is home to two highly ranked school districts — Mehlville and Lindbergh.  Medical services are abundant; doctors’ offices, Mercy Hospital (a major trauma center) and the well-respected emergency medical services of the Mehlville Fire Protection District.  Green Park has accessibility to interstate highways and major thoroughfares, hosts a variety of quality restaurants and markets, and is in close proximity to a plethora of retail entities.

Major and minor changes I would like to see:

I’d like to see:  a) an on-going program(s) aimed at enhancing the City’s image, and promotion of the City as a resident-friendly and economically stable municipal government.  b) An enhancement of the City’s home maintenance & improvement grant program to raise the maximum income level in order to include more resident homeowners.  c) A geographic expansion of the City in order to acquire additional population which would make City government more viable and better able to serve the community.

My family moved to Green Park in 1944 long before its incorporation and have lived here ever since. We are all proud of the city and its growth as it continues to be an excellent area to raise a family.

Of course the best part of Green Park are its people. Who can beat our low crime rate and its great roads. I am also very proud of the way the citizens are able to enjoy free trash pick-up, recycling, and free yard waste pick-up.

Getting the final stretches of Lin Valle, Green Park Road, and Lin Ferry completed will be a major accomplishment, as it will just about complete our road project which is an outstanding testimonial to the City’s high standards set on behalf of its citizens.

Short background:

I have lived in the City of Green Park for 25 years with my wife, Diane, and my son, Joe. My family has been involved with the City since its inception in 1995.

Being a part of the City of Green Park offers local control of government. The City is one of the few cities that offers free trash pick up, including yard waste and recycling, and does not impose business licenses.

I would like to see more resident participation and involvement in the City. Attending the Board of Aldermen meeting will keep residents aware of what is happening in their city.
