Here are some of my ideas for a Positive, Business-like Approach to Municipal Government



-    Begin an immediate financial review of income and expenditures of all municipal departments 
- Use the approved Sustainable Plan to improve efficiencies in Town operations, involve all staff in reducing spending
-    Execute regular staff performance reviews
-    Implement long-term Strategic Planning to avoid surprise deficits & fiscal turmoil
-    Provide strong support to grassroots community projects & development of our area’s many assets
-   
-  Develop community pride and spirit by encouraging creative collaboration with volunteer and business owners & organizations
-  Promote innovative incentives to encourage sustainable economic growth & new business opportunities
-   Promote Bancroft in other regions as an education & training centre
Improve regional community cooperation & interaction.
-  Consult community studies to review services available and needed for seniors and youth retention
-Promote public transportation.  Facilitate the creation of more pedestrian and cycling routes in the area.

Don Koppin wants your votes!

Don Koppin just "filed his papers" to run for Municipal
Council. It's time for positive change, informed decision-making and meeting the many challenges ahead by listening to what the community wants and working together to make that happen.
