COSTS OF TRAVEL, LONG DISTANCE TELEPHONE CALLS AND PARKING, AS WELL

CLARITA VALLEY, WHO WILL BE ABLE TO ELECT THEIR OWN REPRESENTATIVES,

GIVE THEM DIRECTION, PARTICIPATE IN DECISIONS, AND DEMAND

RESPONSIVENESS.

WE ARE NOT ANTI-GROWTH. IT IS QUALITY GROWTH THAT WILL GIVE

OUR CITY THE ABILITY TO PROSPER. NEW RESIDENTS, BUSINESSES AND

INDUSTRY ARE THE LIFEBLOOD OF OUR COMMUNITY, JUST AS THE DIVERSITY

AND DIFFERENCES OF OUR VALLEY ARE OUR MAJOR STRENGTH. IT IS IN

QUALITY DEVELOPMENT AND CONTINUED COMMUNITY CONTRASTS, PLANNED BY

LOCALLY ELECTED OFFICIALS, UPON WHICH OUR HOPES FOR THIS AREA REST.
