KEY: *Incumbent
Magnolia City Council, Position 1 Daniel L. Miller* Occupation & experience: retired after 42 years in the computer industry as a computer test engineer for desktops ... www.cityofmagnolia.com 281-356-2266
What is the biggest challenge facing Magnolia, and what would you do to address it? Keeping up on the growth in this area’s supported infrastructure. It is estimated we need to have 20 water wells and wastewater support by 2030. That includes road and business support.

What is the biggest challenge facing Magnolia, and what would you do to address it? Water supply and wastewater treatment. The city should remain proactive in the expansion of these services.
How do you plan to address the growth in Magnolia? The city does not have the ability to just say no to development, so we must continue the expansion of our services. While doing so we cannot lose sight of the fact we owe our current customers the services they deserve. Such as improvement of our current infrastructure, parks, recreation ...

Rapid growth is a challenge. I’d advocate for strategic planning to ensure responsible development, providing resources for both new and existing neighborhoods.
