Please take a moment to see some highlights of the amazing work accomplished by #TeamBelmont in and around our community over the course of 2021. For that, I am eternally grateful and excited to share this look back at what we accomplished together in 2021. The City continued to serve Belmont residents, and each other with grace and distinction while valuing our diversity. What will 2022 bring? Only time will tell but suffice it to say that 2021 was an active and interesting year by any measurable standard. We are listening and will continue to work to maintain the quality of life you expect and deserve. The community told us that they value the quality of life that the City of Belmont provides and that maintaining the current level of public works, public safety, and other essential City services is important to them. Over 700 residents participated in “Your Voice, Your Belmont” survey with feedback that has been vital to our priority setting in maintaining the City’s financial stability and essential services. I could not be more proud of Belmont.ĭespite these challenging times, the Council affirmed its belief in the power of shared knowledge with information sharing and community engagement as a priority. City of Belmont staff and the community never wavered as we all continued to navigate many of the same challenges from 2020 and other obstacles. Under the City Council's continued calm and deliberate leadership to move “Onward”, Belmont worked to manage the effects of the pandemic on our community, and all the while addressing our strategic plan focus areas: infrastructure and mobility, economic development and housing, fiscal and organizational stability, public safety, and quality of life. As the City wraps up this noteworthy year, it’s an ideal time to review and assess our many accomplishments and progress. Despite the uncertainty and changes of living with COVID-19, the Belmont community continued to rise to the challenge in 2021.
