TWIN OAKS<br />

Board of Aldermen<br />

Aldermen-at-large<br />

Tim C. Stoeckl*<br />

I am running for office in the city of Twin<br />

Oaks to serve our residents as their alderman<br />

once again. The past two years have<br />

been a rewarding experience for me as the<br />

city grows and shapes itself for the future.<br />

I feel privileged to have been a part of the<br />

present leadership team and will work hard<br />

to be an asset to the city and its residents<br />

going forward. I take the responsibility of<br />

representing the citizens of Twin Oaks very<br />

seriously. My top priorities, if elected, are<br />

to provide our neighbors with a safe environment,<br />

to work with our great businesses<br />

so they prosper, to maintain our excellent<br />

park for everyone’s enjoyment and to be a<br />

good steward of the city finances.<br />

Jeffrey Lynn Graves*<br />

My wife, Loretta, and I love Twin Oaks.<br />

… We, and our neighbors, want to preserve<br />

and enhance the beauty, safety and livable<br />

qualities of this small town <strong>West</strong> County<br />

gem. I believe government governs best<br />

which governs closest to its people, in<br />

tune with them and the times. My priorities<br />

include to maintain and improve Twin<br />

Oaks’ beauty, quality of life, services and<br />

safety through citizen involvement and our<br />

competitive bids analysis process; ensure<br />

present and any future commercial development<br />

projects are completed and maintained<br />

…; ensure any future development<br />

of our park, residential and commerce<br />

zones are done to high standards and balanced<br />

to the benefits of our citizens.<br />

Frank Venturella<br />

I am running for office to make sure information<br />

is effectively communicated to the<br />

residents and businesses of Twin Oaks to<br />

keep them informed on city issues and proposals<br />

and to solicit their input. I understand<br />

the needs of the residents and businesses in<br />

the city. I want to ensure the viability and<br />

sustainable growth of the city while maintaining<br />

an environmental master plan and<br />

pursuing all economic development opportunities<br />

and grant funding programs.<br />

April Milne<br />

My husband and I have been residents<br />

of Twin Oaks for eight years now. We<br />

love this little community and the wonderful<br />

things that come with it, unique to the<br />

<strong>West</strong> County area – small town feel, great<br />

schools, tree-lined streets, a beautiful park<br />

and a walkability typically only found in<br />

urban areas. In the recent year, Twin Oaks<br />

has seen some big changes with new developments<br />

and updates that are modernizing<br />

and moving our city forward. I’d like to<br />

see us continue this progress, enhancing<br />

the features of our city that make it such a<br />

desirable place to live.<br />

WILDWOOD<br />

City Council<br />

Ward 1 • Glen DeHart*<br />

I am running to keep the “wild” in Wildwood,<br />

to ensure fiscal responsibility to<br />

ensure taxpayers money is used wisely and<br />

to uphold the Charter of Wildwood and our<br />

new 20/20 Vision statement.<br />

Ward 1 • John Gragnani<br />

Since 1991, when I moved into my new<br />

home in Wildwood, I became aware that<br />

the only way the residents of the area would<br />

ever be able to protect their homes and environment<br />

was to establish a local government<br />

that was understanding and responsive to<br />

their desire to have input into development<br />

of their own city. This is why I helped with<br />

the incorporation starting in 1991 into 1995<br />

when the incorporation was completed.<br />

Now, there are significant threats to the<br />

ability of Wildwood residents to be able to<br />

speak and have input into their community.<br />

I never ran for city council or mayor all<br />

these years, but I have always been around<br />

to help and promote this city. Now, some of<br />

my fellow residents have asked me to step<br />

up and do what I can to preserve the city’s<br />

vision and the people’s right to be a part of it.<br />

Ward 2 • Ray Manton*<br />

As a 25-year Wildwood area resident,<br />

I believe in open, honest and transparent<br />

government. I believe in adhering to the<br />

master plan regarding city policies on<br />

environmental protection, service provision,<br />

resource allocation, transportation<br />

analysis and land use; and oversight and<br />

adherence to the city charter. If re-elected,<br />

I’ll work to ensure that our city does not<br />

provide taxpayer dollars for private profit.<br />

I pledge to keep Wildwood without a property<br />

tax and to remain fiscally conservative<br />

with all city resources. I will support an<br />

environmentally safe community, promote<br />

smart growth, keep our roadways safe and<br />

continue to communicate with Ward 2 residents<br />

on city matters. I also will support<br />

our local business community.<br />

Ward 2 • Tony Salvatore<br />

Residents incorporated Wildwood – representing<br />

their interest is my highest priority.<br />

I am a man of the people. I will listen<br />

to residents, restore leadership to the city<br />

council ensuring fiscal responsibility and<br />

adherence to Wildwood’s city charter. I<br />
