projects priority list and put the
needs of the city and its citizens
before the wants. The city must
also adopt a business-friendly at-
titude and I will accept nothing
less."
The city must also adopt a
"business-friendly" attitude in its
planning department, Miles said.
"Too many times I have heard
from current businesses of the
many delays by the planning de-
partment on opening their busi-
ness. There have been contrac-
tors who have said they will not
do business in the City of Shelton
due to the strict guidelines the
city has adopted."
ANY COMMISSIONER who
says "we cannot do anything about
it, that is not correct," he said. "As
a commissioner, they are policy
makers and can set the guidelines
for the planning department. As
your mayor, I will make the City
of Shelton business-friendly."
Recently, the city commission
voted on the issue of sidewalks
and the commission believes it is
the responsibility of the person
who builds on his property, Miles
said, adding, "I believe it is the
responsibility of the city to put in
sidewalks and over time recover
their cost. I am opposed to the im-
pact fees they have rec.ently ad-
opted. The city's responsibility for
putting in sidewalks makes a bet-
ter blueprint for construction."
In creating a business-friendly
attitude through what he calls
balanced growth, Miles said, he
plans to attract quality business
and tourism for downtown shop-
ping by creating a destination in
harmony with local cultural, his-
torical and environmental values
and concerns.
"I want to have local control by
inviting local business leaders to
tbrm an advisory committee to de-
velop a consensus of how to better
develop our downtown business,"
he said. "I also want to have com-
munity access and this is some-
thing I discussed while running
for the Port of Shelton because I
believe we must partner with oth-
er local government entities."
HE SAID HE wants to de-
velop a better working relation-
ship between the Port of Shelton
and city. "Once our (port's) ma-
rina project is complete, I believe
Mason County Transit will be a
valuable asset in helping to move
our visitors entering through the
marina and providing transporta-
tion for our downtown shopping.
This will revitalize our downtown
shopping. I call the plan Dock and
Shop," he said.
"I believe the City of Shelton
must have representation on the
local tourism committee. We must
identify our identity. We must
make Shelton and Mason County
a destination rather than a path-
way to somewhere else."
He is a member and treasul'cr
of the Peninsula Regional Trans
portation Planning Organizatio
and is chairman of the Mason
County Housing Authority Corn
mission. He is also a member of
the national Association of Hous-
ing and Redevelopment Officials.
He was chairman of the Callanan
Park Restoration Project during
its initial phase, and has been
chairman and vice chairman of
the Mason County Republican
Central Committee.
Miles is a volunteer firefighter
and will graduate from the Mason
County firefighter recruit acad-
emy in May. He also works in
security at the Lucky Dog Casino
in the Potlatch area. He plans to
attend emergency medical techni-
clan training this spring.
He was born in Rockford, Illi-
nois, and grew up in San Diego,
Caliibrnia, before entering th
Marine Corps in 1990. His press
release notes he achieved the,
rank of corporal and worked as
a legal assistant in the Criminal
Investigation Division of the Of-
flee of the Staff ,Judge Adw)cate.
He has lived in Shelton fin' fiw:
years.
At MCCS, we have been committed to Biblical
literacy (non-denominational) for thirty years.
