Stewards of the City

The Mayor leads and guides it

City Administrator helps it run

Beautification makes it pretty

Parks and Rec. makes it fun

 

Communications get the call out

The Police go on patrol

The Fire Department puts the fire out

It’s pets guarded by Animal Control

 

Engineering names and maps it

Sanitation, they keep it clean

The garage keeps it moving

Public works fixes the scene

 

Finance pays and balances it

HR staffs its team

IT keeps its bugs out

CDBG meets its need

 

There’s Code Enforcement and the City Clerk

They inspect, approve, and file it away

But no matter what department

We’re all just one Big Team!

 

author - John Vanderhoof

 We all have our role as individual departments, but what we each bring to the table adds up to the collective product of Super Service delivered with Total Teamwork!
