My name is Bob
Cashman and I am running for a seat on the
Wildomar City Council at the
election on February 5, 2008.
|
Many of you know me from the various community affairs that
I have been involved with over the last 29 years. In the last four years, I have been the
Chairman of Wildomar Incorporation Now (WIN), the committee which
successfully brought
the issue of city hood to a vote.
I have dedicated more hours than
I can count
towards making cityhood
a reality for Wildomar residents.

invaluable. I believe that

that you will allow
me to continue to accomplish great things for Wildomar.

In addition to work and family, I have been involved in
education and was elected
and served a term as a Trustee on the Lake
Elsinore School Board.
This is where
I gained experience with the budget, facilities,
and other complex issues of a
public organization.
|
Over the years I have been involved in many community
activities. I have promoted our library
system, been involved in student science and history projects, and have been a
member of the Wildomar MAC committee. In that capacity, I promoted and helped write
the proposal for designating Wildomar as an Unincorporated Community. As a result of my activities I have dealt
with issues of code enforcement, fire and police services, flooding,
environmental analysis, noise, roads,
and planning.

In our presentations to LAFCO, I helped to explain the
financial plan for the new city,
zoning and land development plans, and the plan for new services, including
improvements in law enforcement and fire services.
Wildomar is known for its friendly small town feel, open
spaces, and community participation. Individual effort still matters in Wildomar and it seems volunteers are
always organizing to make this a better place to live. This is what I have always liked about
Wildomar.
One of my tasks on the city council will be to preserve some
of the vistas and natural scenery that gives Wildomar it’s charm and
desirability while allowing responsible growth. I would like to think that there will always be some horses and larger
properties, and that there will still be some stars visible at night.
I am an aerospace Engineer. Over the years I have worked on the flight controls of both military and
commercial aircraft. I bring my
analytical skills to the community organizations that I work with. You can expect the same skills to be useful
to the new City council.
I enjoy building things, working the land, and walking in
the native habitat area that still is present in parts of Wildomar. The American dream of owning our own home
was realized 29 years ago when Diane and I purchased two acres in
Wildomar. Like the pioneers of old
Wildomar, we built our own home
from design to completion.
In the Wildomar of the future, I would like to think that
there will
always be some place for this type of independence and self-determination.
Please Vote For Me on Election Day
