MAYOR AND COUNCIL ACCEPT TML AWARD FROM DEPARTMENTS


The Mayor and City Council were presented with the TML Award that was awarded to city staff at the 2009 TML Conference in October.  (From left to right) Community Development Director Barry Shelton, Officer Garry Jordan, Police Chief Dennis Veach, Mayor Mike Felix, and City Manager Allen Barnes officially recognized the award on behalf of Council.  The program, Sachse's Builder Permit Crime Prevention Packet, was the "brain child" of Office Jordan, who worked previously in the construction industry.  The packets were developed with builders in mind and are distributed by the Community Development Department with each building permit issued.  It has slowed and deterred thefts from new home construction sites in Sachse and shows how several different departments can work together to achieve a single goal.  Great job everyone!!

STRATEGIC PLANNING FOR THE CITY OF SACHSE 2005 - 2010

The City Council met on March 18 and 19, 2005, to develop a strategic plan for Sachse.  Priorities were set for the vital issues of broad concern to the city for the next 3 to 5 years and how the city's resources will be allocated to address these priorities was discussed.  The work product of this session will assist in making decisions that will support the priorities and strategies to be accomplished over the next 1 to 3 years.  Staff is in the process of assessing on-going work and projects regarding the top goal areas for Council as the first step in gap analysis regarding specific goal development.  Click here to see the strategies, goals and visions Council has developed for the city.   


SACHSE'S FORM OF GOVERNMENT  

Sachse operates under the council-manager form of government.  Under this plan, the voters elect a city council which, in turn, hires a city manager to administer the city's day-to-day operations.

Sachse city council members serve in places and not districts, therefore all council members represent the entire city.  If a citizen has a concern, he/she can contact any of the six council members and/or the mayor.


OUR VISION FOR SACHSE

The City of Sachse is a community that is known for its:
     - unique identity and history;
     - special yet convenient location;
     - responsive city government;
     - outstanding community facilities;
     - effective and efficient public services;
     - abundance of open green spaces and parks;
     - safe, attractive and desirable residential neighborhoods;

     - well maintained and carefully planned thoroughfare network with
       appropriate street design reflecting the wishes of the community
       while meeting circulation requirements, all located in a desirable
       rural environment, far removed from the pressures of urban development.
