“It’s my belief that an organization and community is only as good as the contributions its members and citizens are prepared to make,” he says.

“We need to set priorities based on the community’s priorities.”

Llewellyn’s priorities include addressing crime, investigating budgets and finances within the city to ensure they are “Realistic,” and making sure land use and planning decisions remain consistent with the Official Community Plan.

Other priorities include enhancing citizen engagement through semi-annual town halls, ensuring financial and administrative transparency and accountability at city hall and governing based on the vision, goals and policies identified in the OCP.

“I am not a politician, will do my best to put the servant back in public service and promise to listen to and act on your concerns to the best of my ability,” states Llewellyn.
