City Council District 12
A Letter from Councilmember Ron Natinsky
Letter:
Greetings!
District 12 is one of the best places to live, work and play in Dallas. From our beautiful neighborhoods to our parks and the ever-expanding Preston Ridge Trail, the quality of life offered is envied by the rest of the city.
Our neighborhoods are our best asset. That’s why I worked hard this past budget season to continue adding 200 additional police officers to keep our city safe and maintain all essential city services. We were also able to add additional resources to reinvent our Code Department. We are moving from code enforcement to code compliance by providing staff with the resources and tools to help educate residents on how to bring their properties into compliance and enhance the curb appeal of our neighborhoods. We were able to do all of this without a tax rate increase.
Maintaining lawns and eliminating high weeds, and placing garbage/recycling on the curb on the appropriately assigned day makes a neighborhood more aesthetically pleasing. If we all take pride in our communities and focus on complying with our City codes rather than relying on officers to enforce them, we can ensure that we’ll have cleaner, safer neighborhoods.
Many of you have volunteered and stepped up to the plate wherever and whenever you’re needed. Take, for example, the volunteers who have planted 1,400 trees on the Preston Ridge Trail, along with the dozens of homeowners’ organizations, the VlP and crime watch groups and many civic organizations whose sole purpose is making our community a better place to live, work and play. You are the eyes and ears of our district and I appreciate your involvement.
For those of you who have sat on the sidelines, I encourage you to get involved in our community. Join one of the many groups and organizations that have been a part of this great neighborhood for many years.
I am honored to represent you on the Dallas City Council and assure you I will continue to work full time to make District 12 and the entire city a showplace.
As always, please contact my office with any concerns, ideas or suggestions. Together, we can make our district and our city an even better place to live and raise our families.
Best regards,
Ron Natinsky
