ISSUES
PLATFORM
While other candidates make generic or "pie in the sky" campaign promises, Lisa Knapp actually proved herself during her 8 years in office.
Fiscal Oversight/Ensuring Taxpayer Money is Spent Wisely
During her 8 years in office, Lisa not only saved millions of dollars, but also increased revenues.
-
Reduced the fire levy by 10%.
-
Reduced legal fees by 17% average over 8 year period.
-
Implemented EMS billing program, bringing in over $220,000 per year.
-
Saving $150,000/year by eliminating contractor who submitted over $2 million in sparse invoices with no documentation (payments approved by former trustees & fiscal officer).
Transparency
Lisa was the only elected official who was concerned that the trustees had not seen a SINGLE bank or investment statement for nearly a decade. After much public effort, she was able to ensure that trustees finally received the information required to be provided to them in order to provide the oversight that is such an important part of their duties.
All trustee meetings are now broadcast live on YouTube for the public's convenience. Lisa has advocated for this since 2012.
Parks
Lisa and township staff actively worked on completing the trails system, as well as a new park that will include ADA and other unique features not seen in other Orange Township Parks! She encourages the community's input into this.
Safety Services
Our fire department is arguably the best in the area. Lisa will continue to support local control of our safety services.
Service to Residents
Lisa invested in all new management during her last 4 years in office, resulting in a team that was invested in our community and happy to help our residents. A brand new website was also created which provided better information and additional features.
