ELEM j Town Council Candidate Profiles ELHKH^
Chapel Hill will elect four new council members Nov. 7. Today, The Daily Tar Heel continues its profiles with three more of the nine
candidates seeking to lead the town as it sets new priorities for growth, development and relations with the University.
■ Town Should Improve
Environmental Awareness
With an understanding of the issues
facing the Chapel Hill Town Council, can
didate Richard Franck said he would add
a helpful dimension to the position if
elected.
Having worked for the Chapel Hill
Transportation Board and the Triangle
TrariM Authority, Franck said he has the
experience and knowledge of the pressing
' issues to serve the council well.
“T understand the transportation prob
lem facing the to wn. I bring the perspective
_of a RTP commuter (Franck works for
IBM). 1 think that my experience would
represent the needs of the less than repre
serited east side or Durham side of to wn, ”
he*said.
„ ' One issue Franck said he would like to
' fools on if elected is zoning. “The council
must focus on zoning for what we have a
'need for,” Franck said. “We don’t have
. enough land for businesses or enough zon
ing for housing for middle to low incomes.
We must question, ‘Are we designing things
which further our goals?’”
_ .However, Franck said the relations be
tween the town and the University had
been productive in the past. There are a few
changes he thinks should be addressed in
the future, he said.

the University,” Franck said. “Although
there is room for improvement, such as bus
service needs to be expanded.”
Other areas the council needs to work
on are improving are town growth, public
schools and the environment, Franck said.
“1 am running for this office to improve
planning for growth in this community, to
improve cooperation in public schools
when there is an influx of children due to
growth and to improve environment aware
ness,” he said.
“I see that there is a willingness to favor
other interests when the environment is
concerned."
The tax base is anotherpoint of concern
for Franck, he said. “The town needs to
increase its tax base by looking at land use
for commercial use,” Franck said. “In or
der to increase growth we must maximize
development.”
Franck said he had three main goals he
would like to address if elected.
Franck said although he saw the council
as being very responsive to public con
cerns, he said he was concerned about the
council not being visionary enough.
“The council lacks leadership when it
comes time to make a decision,” he saiA
“The council often doesn’t take the advice
of committees’ reports.”

■ Candidate Wants More
Southern Values in Race
Todd Goodson, the self-proclaimed
advocate of the town’s underrepresented
conservatives, is bidding for a Town Coun
cil seat in order to reduce the liberal stigma
he feels is attached to Chapel Hill.
“I am a cultural minority in my own
homeland,” Goodson said. “I wantto rep
resent the ideologies that have not been
represented in this town since I have been
here the view of the North Carolina
native."
Goodson said that as a council member,
one of his primary goals would be to “keep
a close watch on these liberal laws being
passed in order to maintain the conserva
tive southern tradition.”
“There is a stigma attached to it that
makes people snicker when you tell them
where you are from, ” he said. “It’sbecause
of the crazy legislation being passed here,
like the domestic partners issue and gun
prohibition, as well as about 20 others.”
Goodson said because Chapel Hill was
considered an experimenting ground for
fresh legislation, its residents should be
even more involved in the town’s govern
ment. “There should be far more public
hearings in Chapel Hill because of the
things we do. We need everyone’s view.”
Goodson also said that if elected, one of
his primary objectives would be to ensure
affordable housing. “The University has

over 15,000 employees who can’t afford to
live in Chapel Hill, as well as the people in
my age bracket who cannot even get a start
on life here,” he said.
Goodson also said he was highly sup
portive of a “shared transit system” in the
Triangle, similar to that proposed by the
Triangle Transit Authority,
Goodson said he supported commer
cial expansion in Chapel Hill to broaden
the tax base, but he thought it could be
accomplished in a conscientious manner
which will not disrupt nor disturb the “vil
lage-type atmosphere.”
“We can expand, build houses and have
commerce, but we cannot threaten our
historical properties,” he said.
Goodson also said he thought the town
should not hinder the University as it grew,
expanded and began to use the properties
it has held in reserve for new facilities. “I
am still incredulous at the arrogance of
people who move here and want to put
restrictions on the University,” he said.
“As it grows, the town grows. The Univer
sity is Chapel Hill.”
“We’ve gotten away from basic values,
our family traditions, and that is a primary
part of our southern culture,” hesaid. “The
town of Chapel Hill must make an invest
ment in its future.”

■ Chapel Hill Needs to
Welcome More Businesses
After spending two years on the Chapel
Hill Town Council, Jim Protzman is now
running for re-election with the hopes of
improving the economic diversity of Chapel
Hill.
“I do not see that we must actively
attract business but create zoning for busi
ness,” he said.
“We do not have to go out looking for
businesses, but be welcoming.”
Economic diversity could be achieved
by selling land to create businesses, which
would, in turn, createjobs, Protzman said.
As it is, Chapel Hill seems to be a difficult
place to start a business, and this trend
needs to change, he said.
“I see that it is more difficult to have and
grow a business in Chapel Hill than other
towns,” he said.
Three of Protzman’s other priorities
were “kids and family, economic diversity
and university relations,” he said.
Transportation and environmental is
sues, along with community policing, also
are important, Protzman said.
With the experience gained during the
past two years as a council member,
Protzman said he would bring a valuable
perspective to the council.

committee and other community organi

and are much more in tune with him than
imaginary characters like Barney,” Carlson
said. “Children and parents can bond while
watching Mr. Rogers together.”
Parents need to learn to take time to
spend with their children, and to learn
what their children are watching, Carlson
said.
Batbara Kuligowski, a consultant for
early childhood services at the Depart
ment of Public Instruction, said Rogers’
new partnership would give people a posi
tive role model for working with children.
“I think he’s a good role model because
he demonstrates gentleness, thoughtful
ness and consideration,” Kuligowski said.
“I work with day care providers through
out the state, and as I learn more about the
program, I will be able to share informa
tion with them.”

zations would help him serve the council
better if re-elected, he said.
Protzman said he thought town-gown
relations had improved during the past two
years, and continuing to better these rela
tions was key to town success.
“The past two years have been a break
through for town-gown relations,”
Protzman said.
“There has been a lot of collaboration
between the town and the University.”
Protzman said the town had also suc
ceeded in keeping a reasonable tax level.
“There has been no tax increase, and there
has been a revitalization of downtown with
streetscape work,” he said.
The council has also been successful in
responding to community views. He said
he believed public concerns were very ad
equately represented in hearings.
“I think the council has been enormously
responsive to the community,” he said.
“We have public hearings at the drop of a
hat.”
However, there is need for some
changes, Protzman said. The tax base of
Chapel Hill should be expanded, he said.
“We don’t have to (expand the tax base),
but we should,” Protzman said. “There
fore, we would provide employment op
portunities.”

emphasized the number of children and
employees that the partnership can reach.
There are more than 3,900 registered
child-care “homes” and 3,400 child-care
centers registered in North Carolina, and
together these day cares employ more than
32,600pe0p1e and serve more than 253,000
children, she said.
Every employee of a licensed center
must have 18 hours of in-service training
every year, White said.
