The City Council is comprised of the Mayor, elected at large, and six City Council Members, representing single-member districts, all serving two-year terms with a three-term limit. The City Council develops policies, determines the goals and objectives for the organization, and adopts the annual operating budget. The City Manager is appointed by the Council to serve as Chief Executive Officer for the organization. All City of Tyler employees report to the City Manager through an established organizational structure that includes an Executive Team. Appointed by the City Manager, this team includes the City Manager, Managing Directors, the Fire Chief, the Police Chief, and key leaders. Working together, members of the Executive Team create the organizational culture, drive employee engagement, and hold Department Leaders accountable for achieving Citywide goals and strategies. Tyler is a full-service city with more than 1,000 employees staffing 38 departments. Through conservative financial planning, the City of Tyler has no tax-supported debt, an AAA bond rating, an annual budget of $23.2 million, and a $51 million CIP budget. As part of the City’s “Called to SERVE” initiative, each member of the City Council and City staff are empowered to make a positive difference in the community. SERVE stands for Streamline, Empower, Respond, Venture, and Evaluate and represents the core values and goals for best practices. Building on SERVE, which was adopted in 1997, as well as a response to Tyler’s rapid growth, a comprehensive plan to guide and shape future development was established. Entitled “Tyler 1st,” and adopted in 2007, this plan was updated in 2014 and sets out a strategic framework for making decisions about the long-term physical development of Tyler. It defines a vision for the future linked to overall goals and policies and it contains strategies and action items for achieving those goals. During the planning process, residents and other stakeholders in Tyler’s future had the opportunity to articulate and review community values and goals through public discussion; create a vision for the kind of place they want Tyler to be for their children and grandchildren; and identify the key areas where the City must act -- both to preserve the enduring character and to shape change so that their vision for Tyler’s future can be achieved. Tyler 1st provides policy and strategic guidance on the physical development and redevelopment of the City by: ) Guiding the City to actively seek positive change and deflect negative change, rather than simply react to change. ) Providing predictability for developers, businesses, and residents. ) Helping the City save money because it plans for orderly investment in services, facilities, and infrastructure. ) Safeguarding the sense of place and identity that make Tyler unique. While these and other key strategic issues remain on the City’s radar, the City’s major initiatives in terms of engineering include implementation of the Traffic Improvement Project, a $12 million project designed to modernize the traffic light system over 10 years, and breaking ground on the Hidden Palace Project, an affordable housing development located on the north end behind the new Fire Station No. 1. 4 | CITY OF TYLER, TEXAS: CITY ENGINEER ABOUT THE POSITION Reporting to the City Manager, the City Engineer manages a staff of five including the Traffic Engineer, Project Engineer, Associate Engineer, Capital Budget Analyst, and Administrative Assistant.
