The Challenge
Residents need more than a promise. They need to know who is responsible, what action is being taken and when they can expect an update, especially when neighborhood conditions affect daily safety.
Why It Matters
Harvey families deserve neighborhoods that feel secure and cared for: emergency readiness when it counts, prevention and youth opportunities, and clear follow-through on the concerns people raise.
Colby's Position
I will work with the City Council, department leaders and community partners to strengthen emergency readiness, support prevention and youth opportunities, and make the handling of neighborhood concerns more transparent. Residents should be able to report a concern, understand the next step and receive a meaningful update, even when a repair or project takes time.
Proposed Approach
Accountable public safety services; coordinated action on dangerous properties; streets, drainage and water improvements; and dependable garbage collection, snow removal and neighborhood maintenance.
What Success Looks Like
A Harvey where residents can report a concern, understand the next step, and receive a meaningful update, building safer neighborhoods through consistent services and clear communication.
My Priorities
- Accountable public safety services
- Coordinated action on dangerous properties
- Streets, drainage and water improvements
- Dependable garbage collection, snow removal and neighborhood maintenance
Other Pillars
Growing Harvey
Growth should create opportunity for the people who already call Harvey home, supporting existing businesses, connecting residents with employment and training, expanding opportunities for young people, and encouraging quality housing and rehabilitation.
Accountable Harvey
Accountability means more than publishing a budget. It means explaining spending, documenting decisions, responding to audit concerns and reporting whether plans are on track.
Healthy Harvey
A healthy Harvey means residents can connect with care, find support and live in neighborhoods that support their well-being.
