As always, we are doing our due diligence and will be prepared to deal with ‘the ebb and flow’ of our local, state and national economic landscape. I am very proud of our fiscal management and the award-winning finance team under the leadership of CAFO TJ Plante. Throughout all of the challenges we have encountered, including the COVID-19 pandemic, inflation and economic uncertainty, my administration has maintained the highest bond ratings in our City’s history, along with a strong and healthy reserve. My Administration will continue to provide sound and prudent fiscal leadership in an efficient, effective, strategic and compassionate way to assure that city services continue to be provided for our residents and business community. We are looking forward ensuring continued financial sustainability for our city.”
