My name is Sharon Adams. My husband, Jim, and I were both born and raised in Cedar City and Cedar Mountain has always been a very important part of our lives. We lived in Las Vegas for 31 years, but in 2002 we were finally able to build our home on the mountain. In 2005 we moved home and are now full-time residents of Cedar Mountain.
I have a great desire to serve my community in any way possible. I served on the Board of Directors of our Owners’ Association for 5 years, attending numerous Kane County Commission meetings on matters pertaining to Cedar Mountain. I am a regular attendee of the CMFPD monthly Board of Directors meetings and have been an auxiliary volunteer for the department for four years. I am also a new member of the Cedar Mountain Advisory Council (CMAC), with a firm belief that if all communities work together for the betterment of all, we will have a stronger voice when dealing with Kane County.
We have watched this mountain grow from a few residents to a large and fast-growing community. We realize that times have changed and we need to prepare for the future. We have also watched this Fire Department grow and become, in my opinion, an outstanding, well-trained unit. I feel confident that if my special-needs daughter or my elderly mother needs help, well-trained EMTs are close by and we don’t have to wait for them to come all the way from Orderville or Kanab.
It has become fundamentally necessary to maintain a high quality Fire Department, especially with regard to personnel and equipment. This naturally includes continuous training for all personnel. We have volunteered for the Fire Department fundraisers for years, with the desire to inform the community of what is available in the way of emergency services.
I work well with people and enjoy doing so. My goal is that we, as a Board, will continue to be fiscally responsible while keeping our families, properties and forest safe.
I pledge to do my very best to uphold the position to which you may elect me.
