Ward 4 - You Decide

From all indications it seems that the race for Alderman Ward 4 is close.  Here's a post that may help you decide who to vote for.  There are 3 candidates but only 2 contenders, Kayce Williams and incumbent Allen Hall. Kayce Williams:Spring Hill Little League President and former Treasurer-Very dedicated to the Little League.  Would she have the time to juggle 2 time consuming civic responsibilities?  Which one is the higher priority, SHLL President or Alderman Ward 4?CFO of Firstrate, Inc and AIM LLC- Not sure what Firstrate is and can't find any internet resources.Secretary of the Spring Hill Parks and Recreation Commission-This one's a bit baffling.  She states in  the alderman Q&A's that Parks and Rec. is her passion and a huge priority but when a resolution to support the McCutcheon Greenway was voted on by the Commission she sits on she abstained and sited property owner rights.  This is exactly what Mayor Dinwiddie said in the Planning Commission meeting as they voted to approve a plat without the greenway included.  This greenway project has been a high priority for quite sometime involving both the Town of Thompson's Station and SH. Could her association with developer Donnie Cameron have anything to do with it?  Speaking of Cameron, he was spotted around the city putting up large campaign signs for her.  From what I understand one does not want to beholden to Mr. Cameron, he will expect payback of some sort.  Ms. Williams' treasurer is Leigh Gillig who happens to be Donnie Cameron's sole real estate agent for Autumn Ridge.  Ms. Gillig was Mayor Dinwiddie's treasurer when he ran for Mayor 4 years ago.  Ms. Gillig also donated $500 to the Mayoral campaign of Rick Graham.   To further prove my point about her ties to developers, as I was canvassing a neighborhood I came across several empty lots with her campaign signs.  Empty residential lots with campaign signs, hmmm!Allen Hall:Transportation Advisory Committee Chairman- This committee was formed at the end of 2011.  This committee worked diligently to create a transportation Capital Improvement Plan which prioritizes transportation projects within the City.  After several years of neglect by Mayor Dinwiddie, the TAC works closely with the Nashville Area MPO, which recommends transportation projects to TDOT.   Mr. Hall and the other members (Duda and Wurth) of this committee all volunteered to serve on the TAC.Website Sterring Committee Chairman-The difference in what the website looked like 4 months ago to today is daylight and dark.  Job well done.Board of Zoning Appeals- This board has the power to hear and decide appeals and requests regarding the City's Zoning Ordinance.  Mr. Hall was the only member to vote against special treatment for Wal-Mart when they requested smaller parking spaces.  Technology Upgrades- Mr. Hall took on the project to make all BOMA meeting packets electronic.  These packets were delivered to each BOMA member via a 3 ring binder with supporting documentation for each ordinance or resolution.  He trained City staff on how to convert hard copy documents into a digital format to be shared by the BOMA.  This also cut down the costs of having police officers hand deliver all the packets to the BOMA members homes.  He also helped the Police Department save thousands of dollars on the new PD 911 Dispatch System.  By being tech savvy he was able to go through the proposal and cut out unnecessary equipment and also identified additional equipment that was necessary.   Transparency- Mr. Hall did not sign a confidentiality non-disclosure document related to Festival Tennessee.  Related to the new website, meeting minutes are now available that include the voting record of the BOMA.  He has stated that one of his goals is to provide the citizens with an easier mechanism to view those voting records via the new website.Through this campaign cycle I've heard some good things about Ms. Williams.  She seems nice and personable but her associations with specific developers and specific realtors are suspect. The choice is easy for me, Allen Hall is a proven leader and diligent servant for the citizens of Spring Hill.
