Ashville Council Information Letter

Council Member Roger Clark took his oath of office on February 25, 2019.  Mr. Clark has lived in Ashville for 31 years.

I look forward to working with the current Council members to continue to move Ashville in the right direction. It is inevitable the unprecedented growth we have seen in the last 10 years will continue to some extent into the future. Our challenge will be to try to manage the growth and maintain the current benefits of living in a small community.   

tyle="text-align: justify;">I am excited to learn what future projects council is working on now for our future and how we can maintain our rural heritage, but still be open to the new homes and businesses.

I am retired with over 38 years in the insurance industry and over that time have worked with people mostly when they have suffered the loss of property or injury. I have also managed an office, so I believe my prior experience will help me to work with council for the future of Ashville.

He will be on the Public Safety, Parks & Recreation, and Utility Committees.

Mr. Clark provided the following responses to an Appointment Questionnaire:

Appointment Questionnaire

  1. While rewarding in many ways, service upon the Village Council can sometimes be very time consuming, as well as personally and professionally demanding. Please elaborate as to why you wish to serve your community in this way and at this time.
“Every organized body, whether it is private or governmental, needs volunteers to do some of the necessary duties. Everyone who lives in the village cannot always dedicate or are willing to commit to the time needed to serve. Since I am retired, I would be able to provide the necessary time and am interested in maintaining a good community to live in.”
  1. A member of the Village Council is, of course, only one of six voices. Assuming, however, that your single vote could instantly change something about our Village, what are the top three things that you would change?
• “I would want to be sure we have adequate police protection with the continued growth we are experiencing.
•  I would want to be sure the police have the resources needed to be safe and do their jobs effectively.
•  I would explore why we seem to have so many 4 way stops in the village.”
  1. Imagine that a person unfamiliar with the Village of Ashville has asked you whether he/she should consider moving here. What are the five primary reasons you would tell them?
• “We at all levels have employees who are dedicated to providing the necessary services needed.
•  We are convenient to route 23 for commuters.
•  We have first class fire and rescue departments.
•  We have local businesses for your shopping and restaurant needs.
•  We have one of the best school systems in the area."
  1. Please identify and describe what you believe to be the five greatest challenges facing our community over the next decade.
• “Losing our small town identity.
•  Maintaining managed growth.
•  Providing adequate and ample water for our needs.
•  Maintaining adequate police protection.
•  Fire protection on the west side (railroad crossing)."
  1. The Village Council position you are seeking to be appointed to is for the remainder of a term that expires on December 31, 2019. If appointed to fill that unexpired term, do you intend to run for election to a full, four-year term in the Consolidated Election to be held on November 5, 2019?
“Yes, I haven't really thought about it. This opening just came up, and I thought I would express an interest.”
  1. Is there any additional information that you would like to provide regarding your interest in serving on the Village Council?
“I believe we are very fortunate to have a council that works together for the good of the community. If chosen I would be glad to provide some new insight when possible to maintain the high standards already in place.”
