I am pleased to report that in 2012, such collaborations increasingly became the norm. British writer Ian McEwan once wrote, “The beginning is simple to mark.” Years from now, this may be the point in time that defined a new era of achievement for Gainesville. Our city is experiencing accelerated progress in developing an innovation economy and appears ready to shift into a higher gear. In the 2011 Annual Citizen’s Report, I challenged those of us in city government to keep pace by finding better ways to do our jobs. The good news is that across the board, our organization responded and is becoming better by innovating the ways in which we provide high-quality, cost-effective government services to you, our citizens. This new way of looking at municipal service provision goes beyond traditional ways of conducting government business.
