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.
How can we serve you?
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 leadership and organizational culture 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 leadership and organizational culture consulting team goes beyond a report because we care deeply about character development, your passion to lead well and develop leaders, 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 think this is one of the most comprehensive reports and I think probably one of the best presented reports I’ve seen in my years in government service. I want to start off by commending you for that and acknowledge that the work that you were able to do with cooperation from all of the different firefighting agencies in this region was second-to-none.”
Supervisor First District San Diego County
“Thank you very much for a comprehensive report. Thank you.”
Palm Springs
“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 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
“I wanted to offer my compliments to Citygate, to Mr. Gary for this very comprehensive report.”

Every organization will face external challenges beyond their control. However, some of the most frustrating and costly challenges originate from within and have one thing in common: people. Therefore, the principle challenge that an organization will face is how to acquire, develop, engage, and retain the right people.
Citygate President David DeRoos says, “This is a must read for every organizational leader. This inside look at acquiring the right people, empowering them, and creating a high-performing culture provides a powerful strategy to influence the performance of any organization. I believe this is the ‘secret sauce’ for improving performance, productivity, and results!”
