City Manager

Let me take this opportunity to welcome you to the City of Garden City's website, which we hope will both inform and excite you concerning our dynamic and customer oriented community. As our residents can attest, Garden City has not only a rich history, but offers many opportunities for commerce, recreation and education.

Over the past months, we have been contemplating how we can better serve our residents and their needs on the Internet. This site is the result of this endeavor and will continue to improve. The goal of this site is to make my office more accessible to Garden City's residents as well as making the Garden City Government more responsive to the needs of our citizens and to those seeking information about us. I encourage you to browse our site, familiarize yourself with our organization and follow links to other agencies and organizations which will enrich your time spent with us.

The City overall, as well as the City Government Staff, believes public service is a high calling and prides itself on the many partnerships, collaborations and joint ventures, which are all intended to enhance the quality of life for all of our residents, taxpayers, customers and visitors to our community. Please enjoy your "electronic visit" with us and feel free to take advantage of any contact information provided on our website. We welcome any questions you may have, as well as any comments or suggestions on how to improve the delivery of services and information.
