City Testimonials: "I hope that you have received 500 calls saying THANK YOU for the new playground at Bonforte Park! It is a terrific neighborhood park and we so appreciate the improvements. I walk by every day and see so many children and parents enjoying themselves." -Citizen Comment "The crew from Engine 15A were professional, knowledgeable, courteous, and extremely helpful, not only did this group of professionals represent the Fire Department in a positive light, they also speak to a city government that is responsive and courteous to the public."- Citizen Comment "We've found with projects we're doing, the City seems to be as proactive as they possibly can be." -Real Estate CEO "Grateful for the progress made by CSPD to curb shoplifting." -Business Loss Prevention Manager "Not only was my concern addressed in a professional and timely manner, but Finance Planning & Analysis Manager Leslie Hickey took the time to let me know that changes were on the way. This is the direct opposite of some folks' perception of local government." -Citizen Comment "Thank you very much for fixing the potholes on the round about for Squirrel Tail and Brainard as well as the divot by the water outlet on Squirrel Tail towards Musgrave. Thank you, thank you, thank you!" -Citizen Comment "Accounts Payable Supervisor Patti McFarland was true to her word, she called me back within days to give a status report. Then she called again to update me. Then, she called today to let me know she had been able to contact the unreachable tow company, received an invoice, and would be reimbursing the portion the business manager agreed to pay! I know that it was a sustained effort because I tried for several months and got nowhere. I can't express my overwhelming gratitude to Patti and your office for their work in this matter. We run a service-based business and try to learn from other organizations whenever we can. I will bring up this instance at our weekly meeting as an example of good service to be commended and followed.Thanks to you and Patti for the surprisingly positive experience I had with your office." -Local Small Business Owner "Thanks to Traffic Technician Pete Doyle, his community attitude to work with the residents is commendable. Thank you once again." -Citizen Comment "Streets Operations Manager Bard Lower has provided me superb customer service, above and beyond what could reasonably be expected. I know that this has been a priority for your administration, and I felt it important to let you know that it is working. Mr. Lower and his associates deserve kudos for their proactive, thorough handling of this five-year-old snow plowing issue and I am grateful to you as well for making the City more responsive to citizen requests." -Citizen Comment "As a new resident of Colorado Springs, it’s apparent that the City really does excel in taking care of its residents and treats its citizens more like neighbors and friends than just customers on a long “to-do” list. Thank you for all your exceptional service." -Citizen Comment

Mayor and Suzi Bach Join Comcast for Park Cleanup

 

On Saturday, April 21, 2012 Mayor and Suzi Bach will join community and Comcast Cares Day volunteers for another Park Clean-up Event as a Spirit of the Springs initiative. Volunteers will meet at 9:45 am in the parking lot near Mesa and Glen Avenue near Colorado College.

Comcast has dedicated Comcast Cares Day as an annual single-day of service with more than 67,000 volunteers participating across the country and more than 4,000 volunteers participating in the state of Colorado.

“We know citizens love their city. We hope park cleanups will provide an organized way to make a difference,” said Donna Nelson, event organizer and the City’s Economic Vitality and Innovation Specialist.

“We’re so honored to partner with Mayor and Suzi Bach on the Spirit of the Springs project and with all of the Colorado nonprofits in southern Colorado to improve our great state during the 11th Comcast Cares Day,” said Mike Valentin, Area Vice President for Comcast in Southern Colorado. “I’m grateful to the hundreds of community and Comcast volunteers who will be donating their time to help beautify parks in Colorado Springs.”

Last month at the XFINITY Store opening in Colorado Springs, Donna Nelson accepted a $2,500 donation from Comcast on behalf of the City. The donation contributed to the purchase of supplies and further park enhancements for the Spirit of the Springs service day project and Comcast Cares Day, when Comcast volunteers work alongside community volunteers to beautify parks in Colorado Springs.
