Our Commitment

The City is committed to a customer-friendly environment.

The City’s Comprehensive Plan, Connections 2025, calls for promoting a customer-friendly environment within city government. One specific recommendation for improved customer service is to involve the City Manager’s Office in resolving permit issues between the City and developers. In order to demonstrate this fact, this commitment statement from the City Manager is now posted on the City’s website and on placards in City facilities.
