City of Waco Annual Report 2010

City of Waco 2010 Annual Report & Financial Review

A message from your City Manager...

Our great city has much to be thankful for. During times that are putting financial stress on all aspects of our lives, I continue to be amazed at the tenacity of our citizens and city staff. During 2010, I have seen city after city across our nation face major financial crises resulting in layoffs that include reduction of valuable services including police and fire personnel, as well as increased taxing.

Although Waco is not without its challenges, we are fortunate that for decades our citizens, its leaders and city staff have established strong financial guidelines and have worked together as a community to grow and provide for the needs of our city in a responsible manner.

The decision by our citizens in 2007 to pass the $63 million bond package continues to provide benefits to our community by infusing those funds into jobs and materials while developing new facilities that will for years to come provide more efficient, attractive and effective services for our citizens and guests who visit our community.

Our community has been fortunate to have outstanding citizens who step forward to voluntarily serve on our City Council. In 2010, Mayor Virginia DuPuy ended her allowable terms of office and Mayor Jim Bush has seamlessly continued the passion shared by fellow council representatives to establish policies that will guide the future of our city.

As we look to the future, we will continue to face challenges dealing with unfunded mandates from state and federal agencies but we will continue to provide the services our citizens expect. It is with great pride that we provide this Annual Report which highlights only some of the work and accomplishments of your city government as we utilize the resources entrusted to us by our citizens. With the continued help and guidance of hundreds of community volunteers, I look forward to working to make Waco an even better place.

Larry D. Groth, P.E.
Waco City Manager
