of our wonderful city. Pearland has always been a community defined by its resilience, unity and unwavering spirit, and these qualities shine brighter than ever as we approach the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead in 2024. The past year, 2023, posed significant challenges for our community due to a tax valuation bust, a change in leadership and continued inflation. However, it is during these times of adversity that our true strength as a community emerges. Together, we faced the hurdles head-on, displaying remarkable resilience and determination. Your continuous support, dedication and positivity have not only carried us through these challenges but also inspired us to realign our strategies and emerge stronger and more focused. As we look ahead to 2024, I am filled with hope and enthusiasm. The Fiscal Year 2024 Budget is a testament to our shared commitment to realigning for resilience. We have carefully crafted plans and initiatives that reflect our aspirations as a community. This year, our focus remains on enhancing the quality of life for all residents, fostering economic growth
