responsibilities: Managing city investments, monitoring all leave taken 
and accrued by city employees, managing and organizing drug screening 
and testing of city employees, emergency management policy, grant

and public interests of Crystal City.
  It is with the utmost respect and deepest gratitude that I recognize
