We have had many discussions over the past several months to work on savings within the city. We are continuing to work on many different areas to save tax payer dollars.

City staff has put new policies in place to save gas expense by eliminating excessive trips and by consolidating delivery of services. We are continuing to look into areas to save on road construction costs and many other areas. If you have any suggestions please feel free to give me a call.

Thanks,
Shane
