EVANS: Leads a strong slate

City workers and the City Council should be on the same team with the same goals. As a firefighter, I like knowing that our City Council supports safe neighborhoods with local fire stations and a centralized police station. I want that support to continue and that’s why I’m voting for Amy Evans.

Amy understands that we are safety professionals. She also knows how we can best meet Coeur d’Alene’s fire safety needs while still maintaining fiscal responsibility. Good communication between the City Council and city workers is important for the health and safety of everyone. I was able to witness firsthand Amy’s leadership abilities during the forming of the Coeur d’Alene Education Partnership. She truly has a passion and aptitude for improving our community in a positive manner. Her work on the city’s planning commission to build the education corridor has helped make it easier for our city services to attract high quality job seekers to our area.

This experience will pay off as the city searches for a new police chief in the upcoming year. It’s paying off already with opportunities for higher level training and education available without leaving the community. I want the continued support and growth that Amy will bring to the City Council. I’ll vote for Amy, and also for Steve Widmyer for mayor and Kiki Miller and Woody McEvers for City Council because they represent a positive direction for Coeur d’Alene.
