MESSAGE FROM THE CITY MANAGER  It’s hard to believe that it’s 2020 already. Last year went by in a flash and I want to take a moment to memorialize some of our achievements. We’ve accomplished a great deal in 2019 thanks to an involved citizenry, collaborative City Commission and dedicated staff.  We have completed or made good progress on a majority of the initiatives from the inaugural 2019 Business Plan and have added new initiatives for FY 2020.  Read on for a list of just a few of our accomplishments last year.  We completed these tasks while continuing to provide our citizens with exemplary day-to-day services such as (but not limited to) excellent response times for our first responders, well maintained facilities that enhance the lives of our residents, the best drinking water anywhere and a vibrant Downtown.
