In my opinion, City Council and Mayor’s office are the two
parts of city government that demonstrate public service well. The mayor has
many staff members that can help in different ways. Some use their skills to
help individuals with concerns, and other help with organizing the mayor’s
schedule.
Like the mayor’s office, each district has staff attending
to the district’s needs and also to help with the needs of the councilmember
elected to that district. Each of these elected officials takes their
responsibility as representatives of their voters very seriously and is it
shown in the professionalism of their work.
Perhaps the most interesting part of the effect their work
has with regard to public service is how broad the scope of service really is
in how it requires many areas of the city. From education, to economic
development, to general concerns about public works, these officials and staff
work hard to come up with positive solution to different problems. Also, they
work to better the city for the future.
Most significantly, the entire city government, as an
organization, is completely for the promotion of teaching and mentoring the
next generation of public service professionals. Everywhere I turn, there are
intern, staff and job shadowing that occur that make me proud to be a part of
Phoenix government.
Finally, the city is moving towards becoming friendlier for
international companies to do business. There are many things going on
promoting investment and economic development to support a growing city population
with jobs and opportunity.
