He also reported that he is pleased to see that an abandoned commercial building ordinance will be heading to committee this month.

City Manager Lopez thanked the Mayor and Council for the kind words during his evaluation.
It's truly an honor to be a City to be the City Manager for this wonderful City and to work for such a caring City Council who want to do so much good for our community. This evaluation was specific to him, but it’s really a reflection of a collective effort between the City Manager, Council, and staff. He would be remiss if he didn't acknowledge the tremendous department head team, and the dedicated staff who serve the residents each and every day.
