MESSAGE FROM THE CITY MANAGER
Welcome to the July edition of Your City @ Work, a monthly online newsletter. Our goal is to keep you up to date on pending issues and actions before the City Commission so that you can participate in the decision making process. We hope you will find this form of communication educational and informative.
We’re having a busy summer at City Hall. The City Commission considered the Downtown East End Plan and authorized City staff to seek qualified firms via a Request for Qualifications for a conceptual site design for a new City Hall, parking garage and mixed use development in the area that currently holds the city facilities (Technical Services Building/Municipal Services Building) and the surface parking lot (Wood Street lot).
We are preparing contracts for design and construction of the Blue Jays player development facility and stadium
. S
taff is completing budget documents and on July 17
th
will present a balanced budget based upon a comprehensive Strategic Plan and an ambitious but attainable Business Plan to the City Commission.
I am excited about all that we are achieving this summer and look forward to putting more programs in place that will serve the community as we execute the Capital Improvements Plan and implement the Business Plan.
I hope that you are having an enjoyable summer. My door is always open if you have questions or comments.
Jennifer K. Bramley, City Manager
