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 clerk’s office 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 clerk’s office consulting team goes beyond a report because we care deeply about delivering these critical services to your customers, your passion as the flag bearer and facilitator of democratic, transparent local governance, 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.
“[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.”
AAE, General Manager Monterey Regional Airport
“I wanted to offer my compliments to Citygate, to Mr. Gary for this very comprehensive report.”
San Luis Obispo Council Member
“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.”
Commissioner Jackson County
“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.”
Salt Lake City Council Meeting
“Thank you so much for all you have done. And it’s so comprehensive, I know it’s going to take a while for us to digest it all, but I think you’ve come up with some really good recommendations.”
Pro Tempore City of Vista, CA
“I was absolutely thrilled with the report because it was very comprehensive, very detailed. I call it the ‘time-in-motion study’ almost and some of the aspects [are] ‘how does your paper flow? How can you make your processes better? . . . As a government agency, how can we provide better service to the constituents?’ And to us we think that this study identifies those things down to all of the small paper processes and flows.”
