Dave Golonski - Experience That Counts

My wife Barbara and I have made Burbank our home for the past two decades. It has been a wonderful place to live and raise our three children. We have enjoyed the excellent park and recreation programs, the unparalleled service of our police and fire departments, and the high quality of general services that Burbank offers. As your representative on the city council, I have been committed to protecting and preserving the quality of life that makes Burbank such a great place to live, work, raise children and enjoy productive senior years.

In these times of unprecedented economic challenges, we need experienced leadership more than ever. After this election, no one else on the Burbank City Council will have served more than 3 years. This makes it vitally important that our next council have one member with the understanding and experience to keep our city fiscally sound. I am proud of having played an integral role in making sure that Burbank has had balanced budgets with responsible economic policies.

I have been at the forefront of establishing and supporting youth and senior programs, neighborhood protection and violence prevention in our schools. I have worked diligently to turn gang-impacted areas into thriving and positive neighborhoods and continue to work to use that model in more neighborhoods.

I will continue to promote cutting-edge environmental practices, prudent infrastructure investment, strong city services and prevention of airport expansion. I have worked to strengthen our economic base while maintaining our quality of life and small town feel + keeping our city vital while being focused on traffic and parking issues.
