Help City Manager On-Board New Council Members

In today’s CitySpeak, we discuss six points that all municipal employees can think about to on-board new Council members next month:

1. Support the City Manager even if he’s a “lame duck” leader who may be fired by the new City Council.

2. City Managers, you can survive the new City Council if you're willing to do whatever it takes to keep your job.

3. Good communication from the City Manager is key to maintaining staff morale.

4. Adhere to professional public management protocols.

5. Embrace change, a reality at City Hall after elections.

6. Accept all newly elected officials voted in by the community, and uphold democracy and the constitution.
