Hello friends and Neighbors my name is Jeff Smallmon and I'm running to represent Ward 1 of Fairfield Bay on the City Council.

 

For the past 2 years I have served on the Fairfield Bay Resort Board of Directors and currently serve as treasurer of the Resort. I am very proud of our achievements over the past two years. We completed many upgrades to our community like the Resort Convenience store, bowling alley/arcade and the Little Red Restaurant.

 

My wife Tracy and I moved to Fairfield Bay in 2018 and have been full time residents and condo owners since that time. We chose Fairfield Bay due to its proximity to the hospital in Clinton and its beautiful scenery. Many of you may know me from my coming into your home and doing physical therapy with you.

 

My vision for Fairfield Bay: I want to move us forward! I will collaborate and work with the Mayor on all issues possible. When our goals and interests coincide, I will work with the Community Club. But it will be my main focus to do what is right and best for the citizens of Fairfield Bay. I see our future as a dual purpose city, a mixture of retirees and vacationers. I will strive to meet the needs of our full time residence by accommodating and promoting activities for our vacationers. These vacationers come and spend money at our stores and restaurants and bring in tax revenue to our city. History has proven that if people come for a visit with us they are likely to return in some fashion and many return and make Fairfield Bay their home. I think we have a jewel in the rough that could be polished and made to sparkle.

 

Self description: If I had to describe myself I would say that I was a fiscal conservative. I am a person who formulates a budget and lives within his means. I am a firm believer in doing more with less and still believe in the US Army motto of adapt, modify and overcome. I am a doer, not a dog and pony show. When doing a project I strive to lead by example, encourage others to participate and give credit where credit is due. I am a US Army trained leader, with a Bachelor's degree in management and an Associates degree in Physical Therapy.

 

What I think we need here is Fairfield Bay: I think we need several years of compotent fiscally conservative leadership without hidden agendas. Cooperation between the City and Resort with the goal of making Fairfield Bay a community people love to visit and call home. If you honor me with your vote, I pledge to do my best every day to accomplish that goal. 

​

Let's work together today for a better tomorrow!
