Over 200 city of Aurora stakeholders participated in the creation of this transition report with the idea that their recommendations would influence and be an integral component of future governmental decisions. These recommendations were so much in alignment with my vision for the city of Aurora and my goals to achieve that vision that this transition report has evolved into the City of Aurora’s Action Plan. For example, during my campaign and early in my administration, I spoke regularly of the need to improve the educational and career outcomes of Aurora’s youth. I believe our young people should be offered many academic and skills development opportunities that will ultimately lead to successful careers.
