It’s hard to believe it is July 1, 2020 – and my, what an interesting year it’s been. But despite the many challenges we’ve all faced during the first six months of the year, I want you to know that we’ve never stopped working hard to make sure you are healthy and provided the very best essential services possible!
I’m proud of our city staff for continuing to be committed to you, even during staggered scheduling and essentially a city-wide shut down. While many of our industry and businesses were considered “essential” during the shut-down, other small and large businesses were forced to close their doors. But I’m proud to say that despite the unfortunate circumstances, those very businesses adjusted their business models quickly to move toward more of an online, delivery, and social media model.
I’m also proud of our City Council and City Department Heads for quickly adapting to a “virtual meeting” model. We quickly were able to adjust our committee and Board meetings to a platform that allowed us to socially distance and still conduct the business of the people. I’m proud of our council members for their diligent work on the balanced budget I submitted to them in April. We’ve certainly had to make budget adjustments during the past few months by cutting our budget and revenue adjustments where possible because of the COVID-19 pandemic. You will see some of those budget highlights below.
As we head into a new budget year, please know I am proud to serve as your Mayor and proud to serve you in the best way I know how! Please stay informed and stay in touch!
