  Commanded a bureau devoted totally to quality of life issues, in a growing community of more than 160,000 people. In bringing this unit forward, I have had constant interaction with the public through meeting with community groups, speaking engagements, and media appearances, which include two half hour programs dedicated solely to the goals of this bureau. After the first three months of command, I put together a comprehensive analysis of bureau business processes, and implemented a complete change in direction. The results have made a positive impact in the community, and this caused City Council to double the size of the bureau.
