FINAL THOUGHTS “The word is out about all the interest, activity and projects happening in Globe,” concluded Mayor Al Gameros. Globe has come a long way these past seven years. Mayor Gameros added, “At last year’s Arizona League of Cities Conference, elected officials, mayors and business owners were coming to our council members to ask for advice” Gameros shared the elements that powered Globe’s amazing growth,“It starts with a vision, goal setting, and focus despite setbacks from natural disasters and negative resistance, and patience to cross the finish line. And none of this would have been possible without an aggressive Legislative Agenda, a talented staff to apply these funds, and the expertise within the City staff to complete and administer these projects.” In the end, “Dreams are only dreams unless you put them into motion with a vision - goals - and a plan for the future.” Mayor Gameros further challenged everyone to get involved, become a volunteer in the community, learn more about the City of Globe’s function and operation, and come to City Council meetings. BE PART OF THE CHANGE. BE GOLDEN. BE GLOBE. 174 CIVIL AND MUNICIPAL VOLUME 5, ISSUE 03
