From Councilor Olson's Perspective . . . . .

I was first elected to the Richmond City Council in April 2000 to fill an unexpired term of office. I had one personal goal for myself: to be a good listener and to do what is right for the citizens of this fine community. Well, many meetings later after three terms, that is still my primary goal. My long term goals are:

Work as a team member with City Council and administration on our budget process, thereby maintaining sound financial standing for the City of Richmond
Continue to maintain high quality city services; however, also continue to find ways to lower taxes
Continue with our growth management plan for the city
Recruit commercial and light industrial development to the community
Continue moving forward with the completion of our downtown streetscape
Continue the Sidewalk Improvement Program (SWIP)
Complete the Rails-to-Trails Project (starting in Richmond and extending 24.5 miles to the west to Shelby Township)
Continue the study of City Hall space needs and explore the options (expanding at present location or building a new municipal center which would include a new library)
Continue to work on traffic and access management issues

I see Richmond as a great place to live, raise a family, work, educate our children, shop, and play, and I would like that to continue for future generations. I look forward to serving the City of Richmond for the next four years!
