<br />Special Order of Business - 2002 State of the Citv Address
<br />
<br />As T present my third state of the City address, I find myself reflecting on a year that allows me to be proud of the
<br />City's accomplisrunents, yet cognizant of the changes and challenges that are before us as a community and a colmtIy.
<br />New Brighton is a wonderful community...a community that is ~table and safe; a commwlity comprised of active
<br />residents who care about their neighbors and neighborhoods, a commwlity with wondetful natuml resources; a full
<br />service conuuunitywith extensive municipal services, which are delivered promptly, professionally, and a~ tax.-
<br />cfficiently as you expect them to be. We are proud of the management staff and City manager Matt Fulton for their
<br />dedication and service. The employees of the city are responsible for the programs and work plans being completed
<br />throughout the commwuty. New Brighton has a positive reputation in the metropolitan area, based on the active
<br />participation of your elected and appointed officials on significant matters that impact our community. As Mayor, I
<br />lam proud to report that the State of the City is strong.
<br />
<br />A lot has been accomplished during the past year. It obviously can't happen without a protessional and dedicated
<br />staff throughout the organization. And it requires conscientious, informed, and sound leadership on the part of my
<br />colleagues around this table. Elected officials, whose responsibility it is 10 represent the best interest of all New
<br />Brighton residents, so your investment in the conununity, whether tinancial or otherwise, providc you with the return
<br />you expect, at the lem:.t cost in the way oflocal property taxes and other expenses associated with receiving local
<br />SetVICes.
