ALDERMAN BARNEY BARNHILL  BARNEY'S MISSION: 1: We must more aggressively pursue our efforts to attract business prospects and continue to improve upon our marketing campaign as one of the most livable cities in the country. Our economic development staff needs to continue to work in collaboration with local and regional organizations to enhance both our attractiveness and visibility to attract high-quality companies to locate here and provide good jobs and broaden our tax base.
2: We must continue to explore ways to put more academy-trained, sworn officers on the streets. Searching for new policing grants as well as efforts to further civilianize the department should continue. We need to expand the N.E.T.S. program and consider bringing back the gang task force.
3: We need to continue efforts to save taxpayer dollars by working in concert with the other taxing bodies like the county and school board to find ways to share resources, costs and information.
4: We need to continue to look for ways to attract new businesses to our gateway corridors by the use of tax incentives as well as financial support for rehabilitating older, existing businesses.
