The Mayor touched briefly on the City Strategic Plan to supply direction for our community. He encouraged everyone to listen, learn, and contribute their ideas saying, "It will only be as good as the input received from a broad cross-section of citizens."

He applauded those who have been running the warming shelters for their diligence.
