Coley: I have always enjoyed being in public service activities. I have been proud of the accomplishments of the previous councils I have been involved with.

I don’t think there is a significant number one issue. We should continue to tweak our course and continue the plans we have in place. I have consistently been a watchdog on spending citizen taxpayer money, and I will continue that conservative approach.

I take great pride in our great community and look forward to its continued controlled growth.
