Manager:
It is a true honor and privilege to serve as the City Manager of
this great city. I have a passion for public service and will always
strive to effectively achieve the will of Kennewick's citizens through
the direction provided by our City Council. City Council will direct
the "what", our staff will determine the "how".
I strongly encourage all citizens of Kennewick to engage with Council
and staff regarding your ideas on improving our service. You can
do so in a variety of ways; from attendance at our public meetings,
to e-mailing or phoning in your ideas. We would also enjoy meeting
and talking directly with you. Your ideas on better government really
do matter here at the City of Kennewick!
