The mayor of Arak, noting 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 effective communication skills.

Mahmoudi, regarding accelerating affairs with the highest quality among employees, referred 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, it must be planned in such a way that these systems can meet diverse service needs in the future in service of the city and its citizens.

He referred in the first Administrative Council meeting to empathy and synergy in line with the development and prosperity of the city and stated: In urban management, consensus and empathy are always the key words for serving citizens and developing urban affairs, and I hope this empathy 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 the quantitative and qualitative development of urban services.

At the end of the municipality's Administrative Council meeting, Alireza Mahmoudi, the mayor of Arak, referred to cooperation and coordination with other organizations, institutions, and agencies 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.
