City Administration

There has been much discussion during this race on the relationship between administration and council. Some candidates must recognize that there can't be a functional municipality without a cooperative relationship between the council and the administration. I wanted to take this time at the close of the race to thank the city employees for keeping the machine running.

An adversarial relationship here is a sign of a dysfunctional government. I will encourage all members of our new council to form and maintain a good working relationship with those people who will be actually implementing all of our great ideas - they're the ones whose hard work is necessary for the success of the council's programs.
