1. We will work to provide municipal services quickly and efficiently, applying common sense, strict enforcement, accountability, effective communication, and evaluation, thus giving residents higher value for what they pay in taxes.
2. We value our many partnerships with Montclair’s non-profit organizations. By strengthening and expanding our relationships with them, they can provide many essential services less expensively than the Township can.
3. We will improve communications at every level, especially between our residents and the Township’s staff and officials. Encouraging regular input from citizens on service improvements and changes, while providing an effective response mechanism for complaints and inquiries, will significantly enhance our ability to educate the public about our policies and ordinances.
4. We value Montclair’s economic, racial and social diversity and are concerned that long-time residents and less-affluent newcomers cannot afford to live here. We will make every effort to maintain diversity by controlling taxes at the municipal, school and county level, while seeking to preserve an adequate supply of affordable housing.
5. We will have a clear, achievable, and well thought-out Master Plan that will be the blueprint for Montclair for the next decade. Input from citizens representing every part of the township will be sought in the planning process.
6. We will support and expedite projects that improve the quality of life for Township residents such as adequate parking, continuing to rebuild our infrastructure, and the physical appearance of the township. And, with the same vigor, we will seek to enforce all code requirements.
7. We value our public schools as they represent many of the core values that we share. We will continue to support them while we seek new sources of revenue so we provide a high-quality education to every child without skyrocketing taxes.
