This is taken from a letter from the Mayor of Johns Creek, Mike Bodker, on July 18, 2011.
"...and in these five years we have all worked hard, together, to make it so much more than a City – to make it a hometown. We have fixed potholes, eased traffic where we could, enhanced recreation programs, earned a number of awards and most importantly, reclaimed our tax dollars and spent them here. We have put together a comprehensive land use plan – a vision for our residents and our businesses. We have launched public safety – police, fire and 911 service – and can say without question that we are safer and our homes and businesses more secure than they were in 2005.
Johns Creek continues to build on its reputation as one of the finest metropolitan Atlanta communities in which to live, work and play. While weathering one of the worst economic crises our nation has ever faced, we have held down our millage rate and still provide the services our citizens and business owners have come to expect for their tax dollars.
And so this year, and especially when we take to the streets on December 2 to celebrate our annual Founders Day Parade, I look forward to celebrating that "can do" attitude that brought us here five years ago.
We have gotten off to a great start, and together I am sure we will continue to raise the bar for those three principals on which this city was founded: transparency, fiscal responsibility and responsiveness."
There are many events coming up in Johns Creek. Visit www.JohnsCreekGA.gov for details.
