City To Do List

 
Sometimes its just nice to have a task list to see what needs to be done. Many of these items have been brought up to councils past, and still not accomplished. So, we thought it would be really neat to see if any present councilors could take any of these on and get it done.

If you have items you have brought up, and still haven't been handled, let us know and we will add them. I will continue to add as I come across my notes.

Quarterly Saturday Town Hall meetings

Instead of just when the council wants to convince citizens on a topic – a chance for citizens to meet with councilors. Could help the old public relations issue they keep having.

For something besides if the sewer plant blows up. Like when we all lost power, and phones, and cell phones – and no one could get out of town because apparently the backhoe was broken.
