Future Projects Dr. Wazir Ishmael, City Manager, stated there is another Commission meeting next week. He stated the public does not see the amount of work that goes into these agenda items, even before the item comes to the Commission. It looks easy, but it takes a lot of effort, energy, feedback and communication between many to bring these items forward. Nonetheless, the City is well poised not only today, but well into the future to get things done. Things will continue to get better and better, but the thing that really moves us is our staff. Management and administration will do their best to ensure that those collective bargaining agreements come to the Commission as quickly as possible, after ensuring that they are properly cost out, the City can afford them and can absolutely stick to those commitments in the future as well.
