Paul Hendricks for Signal Mtn. Town Council

Well, the campaign is moving along. I am learning a lot about the mechanics of this endeavor. We have ordered yard signs, along with some other assorted campaign paraphernalia. They should start showing up around town in about 10 days or so.
I have spent much of the last 2-3 weeks working to learn the issues and meeting with people. I attended the Old Towne Partnership BBQ a few weeks ago and spoke with folks about the development controversies. I have met with Police Chief Boyd and Town Manager Diana Campbell about general town management issues. I have met (on the phone, at least) with Dan Saieed of the Planning Commission and with the Chairman of the WWTA. Today, I met with Paul and Anne Nolan, a thoroughly delightful meeting. In the near future, I plan to meet with current council members, staff members and other involved citizens. I also plan to attend as many community meetings and events that I can. I will be spending much of Labor Day at the Lion's Club BBQ (now that's a sacrifice...).
I feel I am learning much about the town and the issues confronting it and will be well-prepared should you honor me with election to the commission. As always, I look forward to hearing from all of you.

I believe that Signal Mountain is at an important crossroads in its history and needs careful and thoughtful leadership. I pledge to listen to my constituents, the citizens of Signal Mountain, to always be respectful of my neighbors and to work hard to understand the facts before making any decisions affecting the future of our town.

I support the vision statement of the Town of Signal Mountain:

The mission of the Town of Signal Mountain
is to be a community that preserves its small
town atmosphere by managing growth and
requiring development to be orderly and
consistent ; provides services that are
necessary for the well-being and general
welfare of its citizens; and endeavors to be
a desirable and safe place in which families
may live and grow.

I think that, as we move forward we should use this as our guide. This is an opportunity to be a leader in this area in sustainable and environmentally sensitive growth.

I encourage all of you to take a few moments of your time to let me know what issues you feel represent the key challenges our community faces.
