Comments from Marilyn Smith-Mooney....
You may direct your feedback, regarding this "City
News" information, directly to our City
Manager Howard Kunik at:
citymgr@ci.punta-gorda.fl.us . Your feedback to
him from the "customer's" perspective is, I'm sure,
his most valuable measure of his own performance --
such as: degree and speed of responsiveness,
leadership style, different or new
policies/procedures he institutes, etc.
