2018 Commitments | Kevin Klein

COMMITMENTS

Below are the commitments I made during the 2018 campaign. I keep them listed here today as a reminder. A reminder of what I work towards everyday. A reminder of what I base my decisions on. A reminder that I work for you.

1. Instead hiring an assistant, I'll appoint a Community Liaison Agent: mandated to work with citizens to maximize their access to City of Winnipeg services, and eliminate the unknown red tape issues.

2. I will personally return your phone call or email and hold at least 2 Town Halls every year as your City Councillor.

3. I will protect our neighbourhoods character, streets and parks.

4. If you ever have trouble with City Hall, I will be there to help you.

5. I will create 3 Advisory Boards. Nobody knows a neighbourhood better than the people who live there. I will create an Advisory Board for Charleswood, one for Tuxedo and one for Westwood.

Lot's Happening

We Try Hard Daily

The pillars of my commitments are Accountability - Openness - Integrity & Leadership.

The foundation of democracy rests on your ability to have your voice heard. I will be a strong voice for you. I believe it’s the job of a Councillor to represent the will of the people.

Openness

I am committed to:

ensuring you have the information you need well in advance of any decisions being made.
conducting a Governance Review – City Hall hasn’t changed its ways in more than 20 years, it’s time.
getting and giving straight answers.
holding the government to a higher standard – a standard that you should expect and one that you deserve.

Integrity

I am committed to:

speaking up for our area and ensuring your voice is heard
standing up and doing the right thing - even if it’s not popular
representing your interests with honesty, respect, and inclusion.
ensuring you are consulted on projects that affect our community and our neighbourhoods
informing you, so you know why decisions are being made the way they are.

Leadership

I am committed to help bring a more open and responsive civic government to our city and to our neighbourhoods - I will:

establish regular community forums for open discussions of important issues
establish grassroots community advisory groups made up of people from each area to advise on specific neighbourhood concerns
work to ensure upgrading of some of our core neighbourhood facilities

Where I stand

Portage and Main – Not right now.
Transit – More efficient management through fact-based decision-making.
Crime – Review current resource allocations. Improve the city-wide community policing program. Commit to doing what it takes to keep our streets safe. Support our police and emergency response personnel, always.

I plan to represent you with new ideas and a new vision for what good government could and should look like.

I plan to make our neighbourhoods better, our community better, and our government better.

The Government should work for you – not the other way around.

KLEIN will work for you.
