"I've been working here since November of 2013. I have made proposals to improve the communications department including researching various computers and websites to find the best equipment for the best price. However, I have not been able to receive the proper equipment to ensure that my department runs efficiently and effectively. I am told that the City Council has all say in the matter and the City of Galena does not have the funds to make the necessary updates."
