As a two-term Councilor-At-Large on the West Lafayette City Council, Randy has served on many committees including the Street, Sanitation & Wastewater Treatment Utility Committee, the Economic Development Committee, and the Personnel Committee.

Randy’s focus on the council has been on fiscal accountability and stewardship. During his tenure, he helped to fulfill the city’s obligation to fully fund pensions for city employees. He also hosted a TIF workshop for the community not only to stress the importance of TIF districts but also to review the impact TIF districts have on the city. From this effort, the city of West Lafayette released millions of dollars for TIF districts back into the city’s assessed valuation which allowed a stabilization of the city’s tax rate.
