While on City Council from 2018 to 2022:

• Scott Kristjanson honoured 100% of his promises!
• Moved to reduce OCP maximum building heights
• I support local businesses! After the 2018 election, I worked with staff to get the West beach parking lot near Primos restaurant re-opened for the public. The previous Council had stood by while it had been closed for over 2 years during the construction at Memorial Park. It took me just a few days to get the parking lot reopened. Closed parking lots hurts local businesses and hurts tourism!
• Urged council and staff to speed up service dellivery for simple renovations and single family home permits. It can take years in White Rock to get a permit. The same permit in other cities takes weeks.
• Moved to support affordable housing for seniors by setting aside $4M in financing
• Moved to reduce taxes since millions of tax dollars since in 2018 we had $35M in reserves and we now have over $240M sitting in reserves not being spent. In 2024, of the approximately $80M collected in taxes, $29M was never spent and were put in the bank as unneeded reserve funds. That’s about a third of your taxes gathering dust every year! We need fiscal responsibility!
• Moved to measure taxpayer satisfaction with city services as a way to improve city services to be faster and more efficient. You cannot fix what you do not measure! The Mayor and Council did not support my motion. This needs to change! Taxpayers deserve value for money!
• First to reach out to local restaurants during Covid and ask them what they needed from Council.
• Moved to make it easier for residents, visitors, and restaurant staff to have easier car-free access to the beach by bringing back free shuttle services from uptown to the beach.

Too many highrises? Not enough infrastructure? Too much red tape? Taxes too high? More businesses closing? Years to get simple building permits approved?

When re-elected, Scott’s Priorities will continue to be:

• Your voice for residents and local businesses.
• It’s your City By The Sea, you should have your say!
• Slow down excess development. Snub-the-Hub! Stick to the OCP. Excess develop has made traffic and parking difficult for so many!
• Fiscal responsibility. Reduce red tape, consulting costs, and lower taxes!
• Improve city services and infrastructure. Ensure taxpayers get value for their money!
• Encourage active living by improving access to fitness centres, pools, pickleball, beach shuttles
• Ensure public input on major projects is heard and listened to.
• Protect the environment and trees,
• Safe drinking water.
