City Manager Dale Iman came to Fayetteville in November 2006 focused on the task of leading the All-America City to new heights. While keeping a steady eye on the big picture, he has worked diligently to transform the City of Fayetteville into a results-oriented organization.

Services such as code enforcement, solid waste pickup, street maintenance, transit and development services have improved.
