As a new City Secretary, Thomas has become my best friend! I love getting his Executive Summary. Sometimes I wonder if he’s writing about our Council, because each one seems to be an answer to a problem I didn’t even know I had. I’m learning that my City is just like any other, and we all face the same issues in one form or another. I look forward to these each Friday, as a reminder that there’s always a solution to the madness. Thank you, Thomas!

The Executive Summary provides timely information for public officials in easy to understand language. And then if more information is wanted or needed, there are other sources referenced. I find the Summary timely, helpful, and a quick read. Keep up your good work!
