We understand your great labor for lasting impact in your community. We share your aspirations for a higher quality of life for all. But, like you, we have also felt stifled by local politics, budget challenges, or the enormous inertia of apathy.
We are senior public sector executives committed to public service. This continues to be our motivation. Through insightful analysis and meaningful recommendations, our leading ambition is to serve you and your community to cultivate good governance and transformational change.
You know the drill: One more consultant is selected, the project takes longer than expected, and you get some uninspired and uninspiring findings and recommendations to implement that don’t really move the needle.
But what happens when animal services consultants go beyond a report?
You can realize your service delivery aspirations, and Citygate can help. We produce outcomes and results, not just another report. Our executive-level, practitioner animal services consulting team goes beyond a report because we care deeply about delivering these critical services to your customers, your passion to make your community safer and more humane for animals and residents, and the vital role you play in enriching life in the public interest.





































Our team of senior public sector executives looks forward to serving you. As long-time local government servants, we understand how important efficient and effective local government organizations are to building vibrant communities.
“I am very much appreciative of Citygate’s comprehensive view of all the issues. And you have been very candid and very forthright in the problem areas that you have identified and we appreciate that. Quite often sometimes people choose to gloss over those issues and therefore we never can get a real good handle on the problem to resolve it. And I very much appreciate your insight and your intuitive natures that you have all experienced in your government services and trying to identify where our problem areas are so we can identify for the public. I very much appreciate the idea and the comments that you made that we are talking about the citizens who come to the planning Department as customers. And so you’ve done a great service for us and we are certainly appreciative of all your efforts.”

“[Stu Gary’s] knowledge, expertise, and demeanor were invaluable in our efforts to ferret out a fair agreement with the City. I could go on and on about Stu, but you already know all of the superlatives.”

“I think Citygate has done a great job. It seems like you’ve been most thorough and even-handed in your evaluations and you’ve given us certainly a lot of suggestions and guidelines to work with.”
City of Vista, CA
“I really want to express my appreciation for this work that’s been done in a collaborative way in which the study was put together. . . . I’ve seen a number of studies start in the fire department and this is the first one I can remember that has actually been fully completed and brought to the council, and it was done in a very thorough fashion. This is the best assemblage of comprehensive information about the fire department today, as well as what our needs might be in the future, that I have seen. So thanks to everyone. Thank you, Stewart, for giving us our money’s worth on our consultant contract with you.”
City Manager City of San Luis Obispo
“I am really, really impressed. I am impressed at the exhaustiveness of your study, impressed at the honesty and candor with which you expressed your findings; I am very impressed at the constructive tone of it, and that you came in under budget as well. So, thank you very much. I think that this document is going to be a cornerstone for us really moving forward for the next five, ten, twenty [years], half a century.”
