In the State of Texas, the Council-Manager form of government is preferred by all of the major cities, except for Houston who prefer the Mayor-Council form of government. Under the Council-Manager form of government, the voters are at the top of the hierarchical structure. In this capacity, the voters elect a small City Council, including a mayor, who is the presiding officer over the City Council. Although the Mayor is symbolically the “Head of State”, he or she is not the head of government. The Mayor and City Council have the authority to appoint four of the city’s government officials: the City Manager, the City Attorney, the City Clerk and the Municipal Judge (some cities elect this position). Moreover, although weak in this form of government, the Mayor has a vote on many issues impacting the city; however, lacks any type of veto authority (except in a few cities), which means that laws are passed by on a majority-rule voting system of the total City Council Members, meaning all City Council Members must vote in order to pass a law. Most importantly, the Mayor and City Council primary role lies in the establishment of a strategic vision for the city. Once this is accomplished, the Mayor and the City Council are responsible for generating a strong mission statement that aligns with a set of clear goals, resulting in effective government policy guidance for execution by the City Manager to run the city. Collectively, the Mayor and City Council hire the City Manager who has full management authority, to execute the Mayor’s and City Council’s vision for the city. However, a City

Over 8.2 million seniors over the age 60 face the threat of food insecurity, up 78% from a decade ago affecting one in seven seniors. The rise in food insecurity is primarily seen among senior Americans with income less than $30,000 or one to two times the poverty level. Younger seniors between the ages 60-69 are becoming more likely to become food insecure than older adults, due to early retirements and not being able to rely on Social Security or Medicare until they reach 65. Elder malnourished patients experience 2 to 20 times more complications and 100% longer hospital stays. Good nutrition is vital to helping America’s 34 million seniors to stay healthy,

a.The most challenging aspect of working in protective services for me will be separating abuse from mistakes or lack of knowledge. For example, a parent may forget to check their child’s diaper for a few hours, leading to a severe diaper rash. This may be very painful for the child, but would not technically be abuse so long as it is not repeated regularly. The same type of mistakes can and will be made when it comes to caring for the elderly and those with disabilities. Nobody that should be in charge of caring for another adult would ever do something to harm them intentionally, but we are all human and make honest mistakes. The difficult part will be determining if the elderly or disabled adult would be better suited in a different living

I am requesting relief on the Residential Surcharge fee for this customer. Penn Mutual & Janney Montgomery Scott have been pro-UPS for many years. I personally have worked with both accounts for over 15 years. Although Janney dual-sources, UPS carries 90% of the small package transportation. Janney will continue to dual-source due to the strike years ago and also the threat of the upcoming labor negotiation in 2018. That being said, our partnership has been strong and I continue to make inroads at both accounts. They utilize many UPS solutions: UPS TrackPad, CampusShip,

Government policy can be described as the declaration that defines the objective of the priorities and goals of the government. Since these policies outline the rules, role, and procedures, they develop a framework in which the government and its citizens can carry out their specific duties. The public policies are created by all governmental levels and target the entire population or particular groups. The process of developing these policies involves the engagement of governmental officials and citizens. On the other hand, politics of government provide the platform for the development, establishment, and implementation of public policy. Therefore, the politics of government are the platform with which public policies are adopted and implemented.
