6. How will the Council make more efficient use of their tax income?

By adhering to the budge. Our robust financial planning and budgeting process is what has allowed Wyoming to continuously improve our recreation facilities and programs, maintain our sound infrastructure, and provide excellent municipal services. Efficiency is synonymous with effectiveness. Just as every successful business decision starts with an understanding of the customer you serve, I believe that effective use of our tax revenue starts with a focus on the wants and needs of the community we serve. I believe that strong neighborhood feedback is important to prioritizing projects and decisions that affect Wyoming. This, coupled with personal accountability to the community, will insure the most efficient use of our tax income. The subsequent part of this strategy is the search for additional sources of revenue. As traditional State funding continues to shrink, we must continue to develop State and Federal grants as source of funding for our capital improvement projects.
