State of the City Well Attended
Mayor Melanie Hammet presented her report on The State of the City in the Beach House on Thursday February 23rd. It was standing room only with over 60 residents in attendance.
The mayor started out by singing her ode to our “Little Bitty City”. She then spent much of the next hour describing various events and accomplishments, acknowledging all the folks both in and out of the room for their important roles.
She finished up encouraging residents to “take a shift” when elections are held in November for three open positions (mayor and two council seats). If you are interested, the qualification period will be in August. Additional information is available at City Hall and in future issues of this News Brief.
Many thanks to City Manager, ChaQuias Thornton, Chief Green, Missye Varner, and the public works crew for putting it all together. Very special thanks to all the attendees who came out on a rainy night to hear how the city is doing.
