STATEMENTS MONTH BEFORE BALLOTING BEGINNING By Christian Kallen
Linda Cade What are the most important reasons you’re running for a city council seat? I am a natural leader who loves to listen. I'm not afraid to speak up, and I'm good at solving problems. My top priorities are small business development for locals, affordable housing for families and workers, as well as viable solutions ➝ Candidates, 5

The race for three city council seats in Healdsburg enters its most important month, since while “Election Day” is Nov. 8, mail-in ballots will be accepted beginning Oct. 10 at the Registrar of Voters Office (435 Fiscal Dr., Santa Rosa) and the next day at official Ballot Drop Box locations. This week, there was a forum at Coyote Sonoma on Sept. 14, at which all candidates were scheduled to make an appearance, field questions and engage in a Q&A with attendees. The Chamber of Commerce sponsored the event, with assistance from Healdsburg 2040. Moderators were scheduled to be Walter Niederberger of Healdsburg 2040, and Dan Maraviglia of the chamber. With this issue, the Healdsburg Tribune presents the four candidates for the two full-term seats on the council. Next week, the three candidates for the partial two-year term will respond to the same questions. The candidates are presented alphabetically, though there is an incumbent running for reelection. Their comments have only been edited for technical reasons (spelling, etc.).

Designs on Healdsburg Living FROM MONTAGE TO THE MILL DISTRICT, HEALDSBURG TURNS TO FUTURE By Christian Kallen
Ever since the American Institute of Architects (AIA) came to Healdsburg, the town has turned increasingly selfreflective, attentive to its brand in a way that goes beyond just tourism. It’s now not just a wine destination but a design destination, where city planners, architects, sustainability evangelists and lifestyle gurus gather to contemplate how to build through the next decades while maintaining Healdsburg’s unique attractions. Need some evidence? A second series of Design Dialogues begins Sept. 20, panels that attract local as well as national planning professionals to town.
It goes back to 1982, when the AIA conducted an influential city visioning project as Rural/ Urban Design Assessment Team, or RU/DAT. That exercise presented the city with three paths forward: as a bedroom community, a high-tech Silicon Valley spinoff or a tourist industry destination. Their advice was, and the city pursued, the third path.
Imagine Healdsburg 2040
Forty years later, Healdsburg has clearly become an internationally recognized tourist destination in both wine and food. In 2018, when that trend was clear, Healdsburg was one of eight cities chosen by the AIA for a Sustainable Design Assessment Team, or SDAT. A team of seven select architects, planners, artists and economists revisited Healdsburg in

Jiminez also cited some telling statistics: that whereas Healdsburg’s population is 31% Hispanic or Latino, the ➝ Heritage, 4
