State of the City

THE MAYOR’S MESSAGE J ustin B erns , M ayor W elcome to our State of the City report, coming to you with good news about Beachwood’s progress and its new developments. What lies on these pages reflects the hard work of our entire city staff, a number totaling approximately 260 full-time and permanent part-time employees and roughly 150 seasonal employees in the summer. In cooperation with City Council, we have been able to provide our residents with new and exciting programs and services. Operating a city is unlike many other commercial enterprises – many of our departments function on a 24/7 basis or are on call during that type of time frame. Also, holidays can be working days for many of us. This points to the obvious, but nonetheless critical aspect to operating a city, that we are always here proudly serving you, the residents and businesses. What we are trying to stress within these pages is: • How tax dollars are judiciously deployed • How we are upgrading what’s outdated • How we are responsive to needs throughout the community and to all of our constituents • How we have been recognized and rewarded for our hard work by outside governing bodies, and • What’s new and coming to you later this year We hope you take some time to consider the content here and come away reassured that you made a great decision to locate your home or business in Beachwood.
