Quarterly Management Meeting

This Thursday morning, all of Manteca's management staff will be meeting for our quarterly retreat. We'll all be convening over at the Senior Center bright and early to discuss issues of citywide importance.

Besides the obligatory budget review, we'll be going over all of the major development projects in the City and the major infrastructure projects now moving forward. In addition, we'll have presentations on Customer Service Training and ways to access Federal Stimulus dollars.

The last hour of the morning will be a follow up to last quarter's meeting. At the last meeting, the management team broke into small groups to discuss ways that the City could operate more cost effectively and better service the public. While a number of the suggestions have already been implemented, there were dozens of additional ideas that warranted further discussion. On Thursday, staff will be prioritizing these additional ideas and putting together an Action Plan to ensure expedient implementation of keys projects and programs.

I look forward to future blogs where I can provide more detail on the Action Plan put together by our staff.
