Dear Mayor and City Council members,
I writing to you in support of our City Manager, Steve Leonardis, who has been considered by many past mayors, myself included, to be the best CM our city has had in a very long time.
Steve is not only well liked by our residents for his kind demeanor and timely response to our needs, but also has a deep knowledge and understanding of our city’s history snd uniqueness. He truly loves our community.
We are lucky to have Steve as our City Manager, and I respectfully ask Council to support his employment with the City.
Best,
Liz Lawler
