Public Service IS Fredrick Sykes
Integrity matters, especially where constituents have limited disposable time! FS
participation Is Education! Gov. Involvement Makes it FoR us
The Health and Safety of our Community is the most important job of local government; but more people must vote, be aware and involved to make this the primary priority at City Hall!
- Public Safety, Crime Prevention, School Safety and Traffic Safety is priority #1 for me; focus on having enough Officers to protect and serve 110,000 residents, with seven different school districts, eight water districts, our businesses and our visitors. And, we must integrate the most advanced technology and training to facilitate maximum safety and security!
- Homelessness eliminated with dignity and handle it as a Public Safety and Public Health Problem! Homelessness facilitates loitering and petty crimes, negatively impacts wholesomeness, vehicle and pedestrian movement, fire hazards due to continous littering, camping in all types of public places; combined with a generally unhealthy lifestyle that attracts disease and vermin. The negative aesthetics in turn decreases the number of people who feel safe and want to visit, shop, work and recreate in our community.
- Restoring our lost City Services and the institutional knowledge of our City and taking better care of our Senior Citizens.
- Rebuilding City facilities/buildings, streets and sidewalks.
- Restoring Trust and Transparency at City Hall.
- Eliminate all wasteful spending, fraud, corruption and hostile work environment.
- Implement background checks on all City of West Covina Elected and Appointed City Officials. And, none should have an alias or fictitious name as a candidate for office and or while in the service of the City of West Covina.
- Establish a West Covina Government Internship program to develop future government staffing and officials from within our City.
- To assist our understaffed Public Safety Departments, we need to work with Community Service Organizations and Neighborhood Watch Groups to train able bodied civilians as "First Responders For Emergencies and Disasters" (F.R.E.D.). Establish a Victims of Major Incident Program; thereby helping victims with recovery and all-inclusive services.
- To deal with the ongoing underrepresentation of the residents who live south of Francisquito Avenue, and that is the highest residential density of the City at more than 35,000 people!
