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.
