SpU TH 8F <br /> � G <br /> z s <br /> 1865 <br /> CITY OF SOUTH BEND <br /> PETE BUTTIGIEG, MAYOR <br /> OFFICE OF THE MAYOR <br /> Mishawaka or Osceola doesn't have a chance unless it can join forces <br /> with those around it. That is the point of regionalism. <br /> • Regionalism key to building our reputation across the broader <br /> Midwest, around the country, and around the world. And Michiana has <br /> a good story to tell, by stressing what is most distinctive in our <br /> economy those things we do better than anyone else in the world, <br /> from certain kinds of nanotech research to centers of excellence in <br /> fabricated metal products manufacturing. <br /> 14. CITY SERVICES <br /> • The fifth and final focus of the vision for our city, a theme I discussed <br /> over and over again in the campaign, is that we have to have highly <br /> efficient, transparent, cost-effective government services in order to <br /> stay competitive and provide a good quality of life. <br /> • Setting the tone for this is why the very first thing I did in office was to <br /> introduce an ethics code for city employees. Some employees found <br /> this code a little strict, but we have all learned to work within these <br /> important guidelines to prevent even the appearance of conflicts of <br /> interest. <br /> • We also need to increase transparency and accessibility. That's one <br /> reason we established a monthly meeting where our city department <br /> heads and I are available for Mayor's Night hi and Mayor's Night Out. <br /> Any citizen can see me, one-on-one, with any issue on their minds, <br /> and we work together to find a solution. <br /> 1400 COUNTY-CITY BUILDING•227 W.JEFFERSON BOULEVARD•SOUTH BEND,INDIANA 46601 <br /> PHONE 574/235-9261• FAx 574/235-9892 <br />
