Mayor to give State of the City Address
The public is invited to join Mayor Marie Blankley for the 2023 State of the City Address on April 1 at 9:30am in the Council Chambers, 7351 Rosanna St.
Attendees can converse with the mayor over coffee, tea and donuts. For those unable to join, the State of the City will also be live-streamed and recorded.

Don’t we have people who have been convicted of crimes and need to complete community service hours? Many law violators are having their fines reduced due to inability to pay. I understand that concept but they can pick up trash in lieu of fines.
