Donna R. Lind
Statement:
- When I joined the City of Scotts Valley 56 years ago, there were no stoplights and only four
- employees. There were so few staff; I doubled as a police dispatcher and secretary to the
- City Council and Planning Commission. A lot has changed over time, but we still have a
- unique quality of life and community spirit that’s rare and worth protecting.
- I’m a graduate of Santa Cruz High and Gavilan College Police Academy, becoming the first
- female Scotts Valley Police Officer, a retired Police Sergeant, and city employee of 40
- years. I serve with Chamber of Commerce Ambassadors, President of Fallen Officer
- Foundation, and active in community groups. I was named Scotts Valley Woman of the
- Year in recognition of community service.
- Since elected to City Council, having served as Mayor 3 times, I’ve demonstrated my
- commitment to the city during tough economic times. I’ve worked to control spending
- while maintaining a balanced budget and protecting City services.
- If re-elected, I’ll continue to advocate for seniors, place emphasis on economic
- development to support our economy, work with water agencies on sustainable
- groundwater while working to meet State housing mandates. I’ll continue support of police
- and to preserve the unequalled quality of life that makes Scotts Valley so special.
