Today is my last day as Davison City Manager.

Bittersweet, I think is the word I am searching for.

We have accomplished much, and yet so much left to do.

We have an outstanding staff that has perfected the cliché “Do more with less” and will take a great effort to keep the innovative pace that city council has championed.

The future is as bright as we want it to be. For the City of Davison and for Pete Auger. There are many challenges that await in Auburn Hills, and I am sure I don’t know the half of them (yet).

I believe this blog fulfilled its mission as we launched it in 2005. We were able to get information on a daily basis out to the public. For the year of 2007, we had just under 1.5 million hits, so, many people also received information about the City of Davison via this site.

No, I don’t know if the new manager will continue to use this tool. Yes, I hope to continue to blog when I reach Auburn Hills, but no, I don’t have a time table until that come through. If interested keep checking the Auburn Hills website at www.auburn-hills.org.

I want to thank you all who have kept up with what is going on in Davison via this Blog. From the many positive comments I have received, I think the Blog help inform people about their local government and realize you have a lot of good people coming to work every day to create more public value..

My sincere thanks,

Pete
