Community Update <br />Sirrrtffler 2007 <br />A MESSAGE FROM THE MAYOR <br />SUMMER IN LOUISVILLE ZOO7 <br />s you read this or even ship through it, 1 want to share with eon sonic very <br />~•xciting news from your Cirj% as we all prepare for our various activities and <br />travels. Parenthetically, navel males nle appreciate Louisville even Vlore U}~on my <br />return, 1 inevitable and even subconsciously, make certain cony <br />parisons regarding the livability of our coplnnulirv. <br />Perhaps, the first change that ~~%ill be announced and will have <br />impact on our City will be the naming of a new Cirv ~~%lanager. <br />The recruitment process commenced inunec{iateh% after Bill Sim- <br />mons' tenure `with the City ended. Let me again publicly thanl: <br />Bill for his r«%elve (12} years of stellar leadership in Louisville. <br />The Cin' Council named Heather Balser as interim City ~\lanager and inunedi- <br />ately thereafter, she was greeted with historic sno`v storms. ~Iot only did Hcathcr <br />exhihit her leadership during the storms, but she has dealt with Inane issues in a very <br />forthright and balanced planner. l~or those of us that have known Hcathcr during <br />her ten (10) years ~~%ith the City of Louisville, her assumption as the Interim City <br />~'~lanager has been very gratifv~ing and verv impressive as she has accomplished a great <br />deal and has been ~~%illing to make tough decisions and implement manv of Council's <br />goals. deedless to sae, with Heather, «%e have not been treading water, quite to the <br />contrarylr~ <br />We hope to choose a new City ~-lanager in June. The candidates have been out- <br />standing and certainly will make it a difficult choice For meself and the City Council. <br />We ~~%ill have an open house ti.) enable our citizens to meet the applicants in informal <br />forum, tentatively set for the evening of June 7. The next dae nc~ Cin~ Council will <br />publically interview the candidates. The final decision rests «%idl nc~ ~\layor and City <br />Council pursuant to the Home Kule Charter. <br />~K~hile some of eon nlav not deem this exciting, the economic picture for our City <br />continues to progress and we arc instituting a number of visits to our businesses to <br />111sUre a pat-Cllel"ship berwCen LOLllsV111C alld Chi' busllleSS COI11I11L1111rV. V%C .11-e also <br />requesting and almost pleading ~~%ith our residents to please SHOP LOUISVILLE. If <br />a choice exists between spending eour hard earned dollars in Louisville or else«%here, <br />please give our local merchants the first opportunity. It pays dividends mane fold, <br />especially when we understand the multiplier effect of money spent in Louisville as <br />we create additional jabs for more employees to work in our local stares. The ancil- <br />lary benefit and a very profound one is the retail sales tax dollars that arc then avail- <br />able to liuld our Cin% services, including the librarv, senior services, and recreation <br />programs, just to Hanle three important areas as examples. <br />Our community has many virtues and qualities, but in the end, the citizens arc <br />our most valuable resource. `Thank you for allowing plc to be your ~Vlavor and let's <br />have a wonderful summer with our fanlile and friends and even make new friends <br />this vear. <br />C1 t~ Of LOZl1 S71111C - ZUZUZU.
