According to the Department of Communications and International Affairs of the municipality, the first administrative council meeting of Arak Municipality in 1404 was held under the chairmanship of Alireza Mahmoudi, the mayor of Arak, and with the حضور of municipal managers. The mayor of Arak, while appreciating the efforts made over the past year in the urban management complex and the sincere service to citizens, said: One of the most important matters that must be prioritized in every service-providing organization is transparency and administrative integrity, because transparency in work leads to gaining citizens' trust and increasing public oversight of the municipality's behavior and performance. He described transparency and administrative integrity as observing the administrative rules and regulations governing the organization in light of the predesigned administrative order, and added: Municipal officials must properly carry out their duties for greater efficiency while maintaining administrative integrity. The mayor of Arak continued by stating that every organization, in order to succeed in the long term, needs to observe order within the organization and maintain work discipline, and said: Administrative order and discipline create a positive and healthy work environment and ensure the proper performance of that organization. For this reason, one of the main responsibilities of the municipality's human resources unit is to draft disciplinary guidelines and ensure employees comply with them. At the municipal administrative council meeting, he stated: The municipality's strategic plan is a comprehensive and forward-looking plan designed for sustainable urban management and development. By carefully analyzing the city's needs and challenges, this plan defines long-term and short-term goals. Mahmoudi emphasized in this regard: Planning in urban management, which seeks to improve citizens' quality of life and upgrade urban infrastructure, will lead to the effective implementation of plans and projects, resulting in the city's growth and prosperity. The mayor of Arak, stating that the necessary mechanisms within the municipality for providing desirable and effective services to citizens have been defined in the administrative system under the title of honoring and gaining the satisfaction of service recipients, added: Given that managers and officials in the municipality have direct contact with service recipients, honoring them and increasing their satisfaction plays an effective role in better urban management, and we must institutionalize this important matter among employees through training in effective communication skills. Mahmoudi, regarding accelerating affairs with the highest quality among employees, pointed to strengthening administrative automation systems in the municipality and said: Given that the administrative automation system is one of the basic systems in the municipality, planning must be done in such a way that these systems can meet diverse service needs in the future in serving the city and its citizens. He referred in the first administrative council meeting to solidarity and synergy in the direction of the city's development and prosperity, and stated: In urban management, consensus and solidarity are always the key words for serving citizens and developing urban affairs. I hope this solidarity and synergy in the current year will lead to progress and prosperity in the implementation of more construction projects, strengthening recreational and tourism facilities, and expanding the quantity and quality of urban services. At the end of the municipal administrative council meeting, Alireza Mahmoudi, the mayor of Arak, referred to cooperation and coordination with other organizations, institutions, and agencies in order to improve service quality, and added: Municipalities, due to the broad scope of services they provide to citizens, are always in need of cooperation and organized relations with other institutions so that they can ultimately provide better services to citizens. Therefore, all managers of the organization are expected to achieve this important goal through full internal and external organizational coordination.
