Integrity, Leadership and Experience

It’s been four eventful and fulfilling years since my election to the Beverly Hills City Council. I hope that I have earned your trust and support for my re-election on March 8, 2005.

My first duty always will be to ensure that our City’s finances stay sound. We have accomplished a lot during my first term. We made key infrastructure projects a top priority. We put in place a new urban design program for the business triangle. We completed the water treatment plant - on time and on budget. We installed new traffic signals and streetlights and upgraded the sewer system.

I have delivered on my campaign promise to provide life saving heart defibrillators (AEDs) in police patrol cars, in City Hall buildings and municipal parking lots. I have worked closely with my City Council colleagues as we continued financial support of our Schools and provided extra City funds to upgrade playgrounds and fields. We hired a first-rate City Manager and protected funding for the City’s Library and Senior programs.

There is much more to do: continued vigilance on our finances; building a community sports and recreation center; creating new housing choices for young professionals, our Seniors and families; solving the tough problems created by pass-through traffic; promoting responsible growth in our business community.

To accomplish all this I need your help and continued support. I am asking for your VOTE of confidence to continue to represent you on our City Council. Thank you for the opportunity to serve for the next four years.

Sincerely,

Linda J. Briskman
