John Fogle For Loveland City Council

Strong words for serious times --

Loveland has been my home for 56 years, and I enjoy the magnificent beauty, wonderful citizens and stunning Artistic setting that makes our town the Sweetheart City.

After 12 years on council, I have watched for two years our city be devastated by poor decisions from council that have shaken Loveland to the very core. The current City Council leadership has been a sad showing of what Loveland can be. I stand ready to bring back the Loveland that we can all be proud of.

The homeless issue is out of control. Millions spent per year, with no concrete results – and no end in sight. This must STOP!
Absolutely ludicrous spending on needless lawsuits brough about by the majority councils’ choices to disobey the City Charter. ($1.5 million and counting). This must STOP!
Lawlessness has become a problem throughout our community. Our police department needs to be empowered by Council – not attacked at every action. I support the police and their mission to uphold the law.
Punitive actions, condoned by the majority council, eliminating Fireworks, restrooms in the parks, library hours and many more amenities, all while spending millions on needless legal expense. Bring back what makes Loveland special!
Housing prices have soared – and a large part of our citizens are struggling with the cost of living and inflation. Our only way to get housing prices down is by relieving the supply problem – and I will tackle that!
Sadly, our City Council leadership is the laughingstock of Northern Colorado, and their foolish antics have been seen worldwide. These actions will affect our reputation as a community for years to come. The time is now to change the narrative – now, not in the future.
I believe in Loveland and the loving spirit that has always been a part of our Sweetheart City and stand ready to help that return.
I stand ready with Caring, Compassion and Common Sense to bring Loveland
back from the brink we stand on – and do it now!
Let’s bring the ‘Love’ back to Loveland.

Ward 3 – you get two votes – and all I need is one vote for a brighter future in Loveland.

Thanks for your vote, your support and your prayers – they are all certainly needed…………..

Important Issues Facing Loveland

Affordable / Attainable Housing

While our local heroes, Loveland Housing Authority and Habitat for Humanity, have more than doubled our affordable housing inventory during my time on council – more needs to be done.

Loveland Traffic - John Fogle for City Council

Transportation

Growth comes with a cost. More people = more cars = more of everything. With completion near on the 5-year I-25/Hwy 34 project, our focus now turns to East Eisenhower.

Broadband

In 2013 when I started exploring broadban, Thompson R2J was using Microwave antennae to meet their internet needs, and the system was failing miserably .I took on Broadband as my personal ‘windmill’ and set out to collect the information necessary to bring Loveland up to 21st Century standards.

Downtown Loveland

While we usher in the new – we cannot forget the past. As a 12 year Council Liaison to the Historic Preservation Commission, I am very proud of the Committee members who ushered in ‘Historic Downtown Loveland’ after years of hard work, which opened multiple funding sources for our Historic Building owners.

H.I.P. Streets (Heart Improvement Program)

This long-term vision for downtown is now going to become a reality. With the funding mechanisms made possible by the City, and the DDA – this $30 Million+ project is now within reach. Planning is underway – and the current plan is to break ground next spring.

Business Development / Managed Growth

Balancing growth in Loveland is a tricky job. Personal property rights are paramount in the coming growth cycles for our residential community. City Council has the monumental task of managing growth, while keeping Loveland the BEST place to Live, Work and Play in Northern Colorado.

Transparency in Government

Transparency is more than a political ‘buzzword’, it is a philosophy. I am proud of our City Staff and City Council that have been supporting this philosophy for many years.

The Arts

While the arts enhance our surroundings and offer continuous enjoyment in Loveland, they are also a major contributor to our economy. It has been a pleasure to serve on the Cultural Services Board for the last 8 years.
