On City Council, I'm proud of the results we've achieved. When lawyers wanted to close the beloved “Ruggles” path, I worked to keep it open, redesigning it to be accessible and sustainable. I championed the Garden Avenue sidewalk so kids can walk safely to school, guided police contract negotiations toward fiscal responsibility, and drafted our city's Climate Crisis Declaration. When park plans outpaced budgets, I pushed to prioritize what families actually use: playgrounds and splash pads.
My wife, a veterinarian, and I are raising our curious daughter here with our menagerie of pets, including my "assistant" Daisy the Bulldog. This community is becoming home for my whole family—my mother-in-law, brother, and dad have all moved here to join us. This isn't just where I serve—it's home. I'm ready to continue our work together.- Maintaining fiscal discipline while investing in community needs. Property taxes already burden residents between rising home values and regional levies. But we still need strategic improvements—boulevard trees, water access at Curtiss Field, a new or expanded community event. It's about making smart choices, pursuing grants aggressively, and being selective about projects. The state's economic outlook may affect funding opportunities, but our commitment to responsible spending remains constant.
- Getting redevelopments right. The Les Bolstad sale will shape Falcon Heights for generations, and we need to transform blighted properties like Get Pressed at 1407 Larpenteur into community assets. Both require genuine input that goes beyond the people who can make it to council meetings—weekend events, online surveys, door-knocking. For Les Bolstad especially, we must preserve significant greenspace for outdoor recreation while creating development that works for current residents and future neighbors alike.
- Strengthening Our Community's Social Fabric. A city's true strength lies in the connections between its neighbors. I will prioritize creating more opportunities for residents to come together, whether through an expanded city festival or by reinvigorating our summer parks programming to keep kids engaged and give parents a much-needed break. This focus on activating our public spaces will make them true community hubs for all residents. Stronger social ties make our neighborhoods safer, more resilient, and better places to live, and it’s a key role of local government to foster that environment.
Real resilience is built when we connect, which is why in my second term I want to put energy into expanding our city celebrations and activating park programs to bring people together. This strong social fabric makes our community safer and more adaptable.
First, an elected official is a steward of our city’s resources. This means more than just balancing a budget. It means ensuring we get the best value for every tax dollar, pursuing every available grant, and creating sustainable revenue streams. We must invest in what our community truly needs while maintaining a keen sense of fiscal discipline.
Second, we are responsible for guiding our city’s future. Falcon Heights is at a pivotal moment with major redevelopment opportunities, and it is our job to manage this growth while preserving our small-town character. This means going beyond council meetings to get genuine input from the entire community, ensuring we transform properties into assets that serve our neighborhoods for generations to come.
Mark Miazga, former Falcon Heights City Councilor
