Voice of the People: Make Moreno Valley a Model Community

By Dr. Yxstian Gutierrez, District 4 Councilmember, City of Moreno Valley
October 24, 2013 at 09:57am. Views: 47

I, Dr. Yxstian Gutierrez, am the new Councilman of District 4 for the City of Moreno Valley. I attended Moreno Valley schools from elementary to Moreno Valley College where I completed the first years of my college career. My mother is a retired Moreno Valley school teacher and my father works locally at the Lowe’s Distribution Center. As a 20-year resident, as a teacher for the Moreno Valley Unified School District and a 6-year college instructor, and as a recent owner of Berrybean Café, I have much to offer in representing my neighbors and the small business community. Even more importantly, I am passionate about building and maintaining Moreno Valley’s neighborhoods and business partners. I will demonstrate my commitment to District 4 by: * Advocating for Public Safety enhancements that reduce crime through innovation. I will support the Police Department in maximizing the community benefits of the Citywide Camera System. * Promoting partnerships between Moreno Valley’s educational institutions to enhance our students’ educational proficiency and increase graduation rates. I will champion opportunities for collaboration between school districts. * Facilitating economic development by advocating for Moreno Valley’s existing small businesses. * Protecting Moreno Valley’s livability by remaining mindful of environmental sensitivities. I will meticulously study development proposals and fiercely enforce necessary measures that preserve quality of life in my District and beyond. * Promoting Moreno Valley’s successes to inform residents of the many good things Moreno Valley is achieving. I will refocus Moreno Valley’s image from distrust in the elected leadership back to the multitude of meaningful achievements by city residents and staff. Moreno Valley’s history is replete with successes, occasional setbacks and fiscal challenges. Yet our community remains strong and united in fulfilling our pioneering vision for a vibrant, safe, and healthy community. I am deeply honored by the opportunity to serve, particularly at this pivotal time. I invite all Moreno Valley residents to join me in seeking truth, facing challenges, finding solutions and achieving Moreno Valley’s destiny as Inland Southern California’s model community. I look forward to serving you.
