The meetings are informal and designed for the Council and staff to listen to what citizens have to say about their City and the services we provide. There will be a brief update on some important projects that are happening in the City, but for the most part, the audience sets the agenda and the discussion is about your issues. There will be two meetings, we hope you will attend and bring a neighbor.
