Objective: Provide a safe, viable and inviting City for new and existing residents.

Neighborhoods are the heart and soul, building blocks, of safe and viable community.

Unhealthy neighborhoods compromise our sense of community, challenge our personal safety, personal freedom of neighborhood residents are restricted, and public resources are consumed.
