CITIZENS ACADEMY #7:  We are excited to announce the launch of Citizens Academy #7, September 17 thru October 29, a seven-week program designed to give residents a deeper understanding of how their city operates.  This is a great opportunity to learn more about city departments, daily operations, and the overall direction of the city.  Classes are held every Wednesday, 6:00 pm – 8 pm at the various department locations. Each participant is also provided by a meal as part of the class.  Each week will focus on a different aspect of City Government, including City Council, Administration, Finance, Public Safety, Public Works, Library, Besh, Active Adult Center, and community services.
