Thanks for reading this week. We are still trying to experiment with some different features for the daily update. We hope you take the opportunity to weigh in with your ideas, your employee=related posts and more.
This morning we took our monthly walk through the new city hall and public safety building project. Lots has changed - there is a lot more sheet rock up and the offices, conference rooms and public areas are beginning to take shape. If you haven't had a opportunity to do a walk-through, reach out to Dick Blackham who can help set things up for a department or division "inspection" of the new digs.
