At our weekly Medford Rotary Meeting today we had the opportunity to have one our fellow Rotarians, Mr. Michael Dyal, the Medford City Manager address us.  Mike told us that Medford was recently voted the safest city of its size in Oregon and then when on and talked about our excellent police chief and police force and how the average response time for emergency calls has decreased dramatically in recent years. 

At the end of speaking Mike opened it up to questions from the audience.  I was the first to raise my hand and ask as City Manager what the greatest concern is currently for the City of Medford.  Basically he boiled it down to how to fund all of the things that the city would like to do to continue to improve the quality of life for all of the citizens of Medford as we continue to be the business hub for all of Southern Oregon.
