Letter from Mayor Sara Presler

Flagstaff is the best place in Arizona to live, work, and raise a family.  We are proud of who we are and what we represent. We listen to and respect differing viewpoints, and plan for our future by working together.

As your Mayor, I am an active leader and ensure that budgetary decisions and policies work for you. I work hard to implement programs that directly enhance your ability to find affordable housing, get and keep a good job, live in a safe community, commute in a reasonable time, and protect the environment. Working for you in this way is my goal, my duty, and my passion.

My mission is to lead with care, integrity, and transparency.  Before I took office, the average citizen’s interests were taking a back seat to second-home owners and special interests. I ran for Mayor to make sure working families had a strong voice at the table.

The past year was financially challenging for Flagstaff, the nation, and many of you. In 2009, The City of Flagstaff alone faced a $13 million dollar deficit.

Working for you and with my dedicated colleagues on the council, we put together many proposals and bid for federal funds. I went to Washington D.C. to represent Flagstaff’s bid and had the good fortune to cooperatively bring home over $10 million dollars in federal funding.

Here are some of the other highlighted accomplishments that took place during 2009 that we can all be proud of:

  • Maintained Northern Arizona Center for Emerging Technologies during fiscal budget cuts; establishing 11 new companies and creating 80 high-paying jobs
  • Implemented City government reorganization and balanced the budget
  • Maintained vital patrol officer and firefighter positions in spite of big budget cuts
  • Created the Mayor’s Symphony Program:  Mentoring Through Music to enhance cultural education for our children and youth

Take a moment to review promises I’ve made and promises I’ve worked hard to keep.  I am working for you.

    I am a supporter for Sara Presler and just yesterday filled out my vote. But I was curious where the 10 million in federal support went? Did it just fill the 13 Million gap we had in the budget or was it implemented elsewhere? Thanks for all your hard work!
