for 13 years and have been heavily in-
volved in the community, serving four years on the POA Board and holding positions of Presi- dent and Treasurer. During my tenure, the Board com- pleted a number of projects including upgrading parks and playground equipment, replac- ing public docks, Golf Course Turf Reduction Program, Lodge remodel and acoustics improvement, to name a few. More improvements than any time in the past 15 years was accomplished during
that time.
I have been and continue to serve on
the following: Emergency Prepared- ness Committee for 10 years, and for the Property Owners Association’s Finance Committee and Facilities Review Com- mittee. This experience has provided me with insight into what is essential in the needs of the community and in keeping Canyon Lake a desirable city.
It is my desire to see Canyon Lake continue as a city. We are facing a num- ber of important issues in the future, including public safety (i.e police and fire), development of BLM land, vaca- tion rentals, lake management, and con- tinuation of the Utility User Tax (UUT), to name a few.
Positive results for these issues can only be accomplished if our City Council works as a team. I feel the relationships I have built with the continuing Council members will make this possible.
Larry Greene
My goal as a 39-year resident of Can- yon Lake is to give back to my commu- nity the benefit of my years of expe- rience, knowledge and leadership style. I have an extensive career background in Fire Service and Pub- lic Safety. I am a proponent of local control by a strong
City government. My education includes a B.A. in management from the University of Redlands, attendance at CSULB Mas- ters in Public Administration program, Santa Ana College Fire and Health SCI, Monterey College Fire Command and Administration, and graduate Ex- ecutive Officer Training at the Nation- al Fire Academy, with many profes-
sional certifications and awards.
I spent 31 years as a municipal fire professional, which included positions as division chief of operations and EMS, fire marshal and assistant fire chief for a large Orange County city, and six years
as a consultant.
I have developed a keen awareness of
the requirements to be an effective City Council member. These include prob- lem solving and the ability to provide viable solutions to complex, challeng- ing issues as well as being a team player skillful in establishing positive working relationships with other Council mem- bers, community groups, residents and business representatives.
I have a strong emergency services
background and have negotiated JPA agreements, county cooperatives and auto-aid contracts.
I currently am president of the Can- yon Lake Emergency Preparedness Committee, and am a CERT trainer and a BLS/CPR instructor.
My vision for Canyon Lake is to keep our citizens safe, providing essential services. I will work to promote and de- velop an atmosphere that creates a sense of ownership in our community.
George Middle
I am, first and foremost, a fam- ily man. I have lived in Canyon Lake since 1989 and have seen chang- es since the City was incorporated; one of those is the Council closing
Fire Station 60.
I am currently the owner of ME Business Brokers, a business op- portunity broker- age and business appraiser, commercial and residential broker (license #01065847), a past fo- rensic and real estate grievance investi-
gator, and a member of SRCAR.
My academic qualifications are Doc- tor of Philosophy, with a Master’s de- gree in Mechanical Engineering and a Fellow of American Society of Mechan-
ical Engineers.
I have considerable background in
start-up medical companies and have many patents issued. This information is given to illustrate my “out of the box thinking.”
I am an elected Riverside Commis-
sioner with Riverside University Behav- ioral Health under direction of Supervi- sor Jeffries, (Riverside Mental Health Board).
As a past Canyon Lake POA Direc- tor, I understand many of the issues fac- ing the City and homeowners of Canyon Lake. I was recently appointed by the POA Board an alternate on the Appeals Committee.
I am a member of Canyon Lake Chamber of Commerce, a significant player within the City.
I support and/or have been involved on the board of directors of many Can- yon Lake clubs such as Choraleers, Can- yon Lake Community Theatre, Canyon Lake Lions, Tennis Club and CLAMS. I am a longstanding member of the Men’s Golf Club.
• My experiences will enable me to understand the City economics. I have the expertise to reduce expenses, offer solutions to our critical issues and save potentially $500,000 per year.
• My platform – Most importantly, I will try to set up a Paramedic Service in Canyon Lake as a 92-percent ratio of our needs are medically related. Those who want to know about this plan to in- stall Paramedic/EMT-trained personnel ambulance service, please contact me at gmiddle@ca.rr.com.
With the City collecting over $1 mil- lion of Utility User Tax (UUT) per year, this candidate will put a budget together demonstrating that we can open up the station and install this service, and still leave significant monies for the general fund. There will be a need to maintain this tax after the time span voted on is reached, but it will be for the continua- tion of medical urgency responses that Canyon Lake citizens voted for.
