Hot Topics

My hope is that this website will provide a forum for ongoing communication regarding our community. I will be updating the Hot Topics on a regular basis and asking for your input. As you click on each of the topics, you’ll be given a brief summary and asked for your ideas. Please keep in mind that the synopses provided are my own words and thoughts on the topics and not to be construed in any way as official city positions.

Let’s get engaged and work together to solve some of the issues facing our community.
