1990 Ballot Statement

Statement of Thomas J. Malson, Candidate for

Galt City Council

Occupation:             Engineer                                            Age:  39

Qualifications:

Ten years ago my family was looking for a community we could call home.  It was apparent that Galt had tremendous potential in which to raise our child in a clean, healthy environment, near good schools and safe neighborhoods.

I have been a member of the Galt Planning Commission since 1986, served as vice-chairman in 1988 and 1989 and was chairman of the Galt General Plan Advisory Committee.  I am also a member of the Galt Historical Society.

Galt is growing and to date it has been well planned and implemented.  We are experiencing growing 'pains' with our water, sewer, traffic and school capacities.  However, tools to alleviate these concerns are either in place or being worked on.  The task before us is to stay on track, use these provisions and expand them to insure that Galt grows in a planned and controlled manner.

I firmly believe that council members are involved citizens of the community and are your voice in city government.  I pledge to be responsive and represent all citizens to the best of my abilities.  I am committed to helping Galt grow in a planned, orderly and sensible manner.

I ask for your vote November 6, 1990

2006 Ballot Statement

Statement of Thomas J. Malson, Candidate for

Galt City Council

Occupation:             Incumbent                                            Age:  55

Qualifications:

As a resident of Galt for 26 years we share the same concerns and I have faced these concerns for the past four years as a council member.  This responsibility I take very seriously and wish to continue fulfilling my service to the citizens of Galt by remaining a member of your city council.

With less than 3% growth over the past four years, we now have a new police station, increased Police staffing, an Emergency Operations Plan, improved water wells, supported a new high school bond, reduced Northeast area taxes, completed Lincoln Way, adopted a handicapped capital improvement program and expanded Chabolla Center.

Knowledge and experience gained from 16 years as a Planning Commissioner, 9 years on the Sacramento Environmental Commission and 4 years as a City Council Member provide me the understanding needed to serve the citizens of Galt.  Our new general plan will generate needed changes in land use, economic development, parks, traffic, Highway 99 access and infrastructure.  My 'core priorities' have always been public health & safety, environmental and public services.  This experience is invaluable for a member of your City Council and I ask for your vote.
