Today there are scheduled a couple of committee meetings of the City Council:
5:30 pm -- Building Committee, to discuss status of City Hall with the Fire Marshall
6:30 pm -- Park Committee to discuss the Golf Course.
The regular City Council meeting is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. The Agenda is posted on the door of the City Clerk's office, and is also now available to read on the City's website: www.cityofwatonga.org . An executive session will be held following the regular business of the Council.
All meetings of the City Council and its committees, other than the Executive Session, are open to the public. It is important that the public attend these meetings in order to know what our City government is doing. "Democracy depends on an informed citizenry ..." writes Danah Boyd in a 2012 issue of the magazine Poynter. [see my Facebook page for a link to the article.] If the public doesn't know what's going on with the government, they cannot address and deal with possible problems.
