Best kept secret in town – it does not appear on the City
web page, there are no signs sprinkled around town, it is not on the board outside
of City Hall but you might want to know there is a Town Hall Meeting Monday,
November 24. 7:30 Dwyer Center.
In essence a Town Hall is an informal meeting where the
focus should be on the attendees and their questions and concerns with no
specific guidelines or rules. It is in contrast to a council meeting with a set
agenda, procedure and focus.
At the Nov. 3 committee meeting this was discussed. Service Director Thomas would like to give
updates on the sewer testing and have City Consulting Engineer Bob Greytak in
attendance. With this particular agenda in mind, Karen Lieske asked if there
could be a time limit set for Mr. Greytak so there is more opportunity for citizen
participation.
Mr. Koomar commented that this technical information is
needed to educate the residents. Mrs. Lieske noted “that Town Hall indicates a
fair amount of participation by residents. They would like more opportunity to
engage.”
Mr. Koomar stated that they would try to have a section for
participation in the meeting. He further commented that “we will not have such in-depth
issues on all Town Hall meeting agendas; we will try to balance it out.”
