Hello Neighbor,
I am Will Karspeck, your current mayor, asking for your vote to relect me on April 2nd.
With my time on the Board of Trustees serving both as trustee and as mayor, a good many things have been accomplish that make Berthoud such a unique and desirable place to live. This has been a team effort amongst board members, staff, and the community through outreach, respect, and action.
I am proud to have served our Town on regional committees and organizations including;
-The North Front Range Metropolitan Planning Organization, which includes Weld and Larimer counties and their towns and cities. I was elected as both Vice-Chair and Chair and served in that capacity for two years.
-The North I-25 Coalition, which successfully constructed an additional lane on I-25 several decades ahead of CDOT's construction schedule, and I fought hard and eventually won a Mobility Hub at our I/25 exit so that we have easy and safe access to the CDOT Bustang coach bus that runs to Denver.
-The Larimer County Behavioral Health Policy Council, whom gives out thounsands in grant money to local mental health non-profits and which after 5 years of planning and getting voter approval has been constructed and is at full capacity.
- The Front Range Passenger Rail District, which I have enthusiastically served for 6 years. I am still attending meeting several times a month but as a persistent vocal advocate for a Berthoud downtown rail stop, which has just recently been nixed due to trip time requirements, Berthoud's smaller population and the desire for speed and less stops.
Through all of these regional councils, committees, and districts my goal has always been to build coalitions and outcomes that would provide our residents the best amenities and opportunities possible.
However, there is more to do. As made evident by our House of Neighborly Services, we have a higher demand than ever for food and essentials for the most needy of our neighbors. I am an advocate of community matching funds, grants and volunteerism. We can do better still.
Through our Rural Alternative for Transportation Non-Profit, we know our seniors and disabled have increasing transportation needs for their medical appointments, employment, and to community events.
I vigorously support this service and
ATTAINABLE HOUSING.
Our Habitat for Humanity has done an excellent job building homes with what they have, and we must support them as they move on to constructing houses in new areas.
PRESERVATION OF OPEN LANDS
It is imperative as the large farms that have surrounded Berthoud are sold to developers, that we preserve for future parkland, but also for agriculture and community buffers, ,This can enshrine our values as a community with a small town charm and curb continued sprawl.
I will continue to work on the aforementioned needs, while also striving to deliver more amenities and services that can enhance the cultural, business and recreational opportunities in our town.
I have enjoyed watching our community come together over the least several years and with your vote, I look forward to continuing this passion and momentum through my final term.
