Three hour city council meeting last night - and it was a good one.
The lengthy meeting ensued due to the large number of items on the agenda that were unique in their own, various ways.
The meeting was good too because of a large number of citizens that attended and constructively participated in the process. An engaged citizenry is always positive as the more the public knows and understands what is happening at city hall, the more they can support the actions being taken to advance the public health, welfare, and safety of the community.
Never forget that an informed citizenry is a friend of city government - cultivate those friendships whenever you can.
