Maintaining the balance between services and tax rates, as well as encouraging economic growth while providing for community needs, is an ongoing challenge and one of our most important tasks. Our challenge is to provide cost-effective services without sacrificing assistance to our citizens in need. We must encourage economic development without sacrificing our neighborhoods. We must foster business development that will provide jobs for our citizens right here in our own community without harming the quality of life that makes this city such a great place to live and raise our families.
It is citizen participation more than anything else that makes this community special. Without the interest, support, and involvement of neighbors like you, our community would not be such a wonderful place to live, work, and go to school. We always welcome your ideas and are happy to discuss with you any thoughts or concerns you may have about the many changes that are taking place in our community today. Please don't hesitate to contact us by phone or e-mail and let us know what is on your mind. We appreciate your contributions and look forward to continuing to serve the community's interest.
