Stewardship:
Todd will continue to prioritize protecting the existing green space and tree canopy that form the cornerstone of Winter Park. Todd believes in sustainable growth. As a former real estate investor, Todd respects Winter Park’s zoning codes and Comprehensive Plan. He will bring creative solutions to the city’s projects in an effort to work within the codes as defined rather than seek variances. He believes that the city needs to seriously consider the choices it makes about infrastructure and what Winter Park will look like in ten or twenty years. #LeaveaLegacy #hometownWP
A Winter Park for Everyone:
Todd believes that the city needs to balance the environmental concerns of the area before irreversible damage is done. Todd will continue to deliver the best possible awareness on this issue when he is re-elected to Winter Park City Commission, Seat 4.
Open Government:
Todd believes Winter Park citizens deserve a responsive and transparent city government that represents THEIR vision of how Winter Park grows and how THEIR tax dollars are spent.
Todd supports a Code of Conduct for Winter Park City officials. He believes that city officials have an obligation to recuse themselves on votes to avoid even the appearance of a conflict of interest. Adoption of a code of ethics governing city officials was supported by over 70% of Winter Park voters in a previous election, yet none was ever enacted.
Forward Thinking Action Plan:
As your City Commissioner, Todd Weaver will continue to listen to the concerns and ideas of all citizens. He pledges to examine all sides with the sole purpose of doing what is best for Winter Park now and in the future. Responsible governance encompasses thinking beyond what will be good next year; it ensures that today’s decisions will be good in twenty or thirty years.
