A special note to you from

Bill Phillips

Thank you for supporting me the last fifteen years as a member of our City Council. It has been a pleasure working with you to create a vibrant city where we can safely live, work, play, shop and learn. I am proud to have been able to be a part of the following:

• Develop a fiscally strong City

• Ensure public safety

• Improve efficiency of essential services to residents

• Attract new businesses and continue to be business friendly

• Add major amenities (like our Aquatic Center and Conference Center)

• I have also vigorously acted to protect our community from plans or projects that would create irreparable damage to our quality of life. 

Although much has been accomplished. If re-elected I will:

• Continue attracting strong community relevant businesses and jobs

• Increase recreational opportunities

• Make our community more walkable and environmentally friendly

• Increase communication with citizens

• Enhance our overall quality of life

My wife (DR. Otoole) and kids have called Aliso Viejo home since 1989. It has been an honor to represent Aliso Viejo on City Council, and with your vote, I will continue to ensure our City remains the premier community that it is today.

Respectfully,

Bill Phillips
