Dear Resident:

In November 2001, each of you voted to support a $255 million bond issuance focused on enhancing security, improving parks, and providing neighborhood improvements throughout the City. Projects with the proceeds from the initial issuance are underway and many others are nearing the implementation stage. These new resources, when spent in conjunction with our Capital Improvement Program funds, will help fuel future growth and continued investment. I am excited by the potential of this new initiative , from which I am sure residents will see marked improvements in the quality of city streets, sidewalks, parks, and public facilities.

Manuel A. Diaz
Mayor
