Tawnee McCay
Riverton City Mayor
Careful Growth
Riverton has experienced incredible growth over the past decade. Before I was elected, Riverton approved more than the states requirement of medium and high density housing between Bangerter and Mountain View Corridor. Riverton's best days are ahead and we can work together to keep Riverton's hometown feel.
Collaborative & Transparent
With todays technology, our city can easily get feedback that will improve our decision making. When it was proposed to eliminate recycling, we were able to do a citizen survey and 71% of respondents supported keeping curbside recycling. We should communicate and have open meetings when making major decisions.
Fiscal Responsibility
Riverton city’s sales tax revenue has been steadily increasing with the opening of Mountain View Village. I will use my financial expertise to develop a rock solid plan to improve our city’s financial condition and pay down our debts, saving us hundreds of thousands of dollars a year.
Support our Youth
Riverton city should not limit participation on our Riverton Youth Council. I appreciate that our local youth want to volunteer their time at city events, get to know each other and serve our community. We can expand fun safe activities for our young adults.
Support Quality Public Safety
I was the deciding vote in support of Riverton City's decision to self provide our police services. It was the right decision and has saved our residents $21 million in taxes. This has allowed more local control over the number of officers hired and other management decisions.
I appreciate the hard work and dedication
of our police and fire departments!
Emergency Prepardness
Riverton City can do more to be prepared. My kid's school has quarterly drills to prepare for different emergencies. I have supported purchasing basic supplies for an Emergency Operation Center (EOC). We can encourage additional training and drills to be better prepared.
