What most people can't see is that we have been the victims of drastic budget cuts. There are only three workers doing the work of 73 just a few years ago. The cuts have affected the landscape crews and have allowed public works to increase in there service and performance. This is reached thru citizen input and meetings with area leaders. There has been polling in the various shopping malls and also at open forums. This has all been given to supply citizens with a better focused service. I am not a city worker, I read and attend civic meetings and practice zen minn
