This year’s State of the City celebrates the team of dedicated professionals who day in and day out provide the high-quality services and amenities we depend upon, and which are at the very core of why we choose to call Bellaire home. In reviewing their recent accomplishments, what really stands out is how city staff have managed to overcome persistent staffing shortages and leadership changes in maintaining our “Forward Progress.” That’s the theme of my presentation, and it represents both their significant achievements and the promise of even more good things to come. It’s my pleasure to share with you the highlights of the past year for each of our city departments, and a preview of what we can expect for 2023.
