"I really want to just continue to make progress on stuff that's already happened. I don't want to reinvent the wheel. I just want to continue to move the ship in the right direction and make some meaningful progress," Garbark said.

The mayor also appointed a new health commissioner and bureau heads for DPW's solid waste and water divisions. City leaders say the moves will strengthen services and support the mayor's priorities for Baltimore.
