This office has a close connection to the community. The city council represent the local environment. They have direct control over the police department, the, public transportation, the streets, planning Dept’s. Just about everything that we face as a citizens is in some way controlled by the city council and the Mayor. Council have input in the city budget. To attract new businesses to Vegas (which creates jobs). He ordinances are overseen by the city council.

Oprah Winfrey, Michelle Obama and Barbara Coran. They are very smart, courageous women. That all came from humble beginnings. They were determined to make it and did. They believed in themselves and didn’t give up.

Desire to be the voice of the community they were elected to represent. Identity and genuinely care about making a difference. To work with other elected officials and community leaders to make a change. One who love Las Vegas and is dedicated in assist with making it the model city it is destined to be.

I am determined. I am confident that I accomplished whatever I set my mind to do. I am always and willing to learn new things. If there is something I don’t know, I make it my business to go a source to inform me. I delegate unfamiliar situations to the experts that will be an expert in the situation.

Listen to the needs of the community they represent and work with the other council members to make the necessary changes that are necessary and feasible.

I would really love to see that no one should be homeless or without habitual living accommodation, if that is what they choose. I would like to see our schools be able to raise the educational score for our children. The children in our community should be educated up to a level that they can compete on the world stage.

Being able to get the resources and funding to employ and help others .

The office has more impact on their lives than the federal government. The citizens should realize the impact of the local government and the judicial system that has control of their lives. They need to be educated about the local government. More people would participate in our local elections if they knew the power of the local government to make changes to their lives.

I think they should be familiar with the political process and be aware of the duties of the office they seek. They should be there for the community that elected them. Remember that they are there to represent and be the invoice of their constituents. They are to work hard to make the changes their constituents seek voting them in to the council seat.

Negotiations skills. Become knowledgeable of the city charter and the city ordinances. Be opened minded. Be willing to work in coordination with other elected officials and community leaders to implement the changes that the community is seeking. There will always be professionals to do the accounting, lawyers to handle the legal documentation. The city manager will be delegated to implement the decisions of the council and the mayor.

I personally don’t know any.

I believe transparency is very important and accountability is essential to running any organization. This deters corruption.
