October's Bright, Blue Weather and 4 hours of planning

Friends,

       Kim Faust, our city administrator, will lead the Aldermen/Alderlady in an intense 4-hour organization and planning session this Saturday, 4 October, 7-11 A.M., Central Texas Council of Government, 2180 N. Main Street, Belton. As you can see, the agenda below is comprehensive and detailed.  Policy will be discussed.  Projects will be reviewed.  The intent is to organize the city government into an effective, professional, and competent organization that will meet the needs of a progressive village.  The public is invited, but there will be little opportunity to enter into the discussion.  You will watch 5 excellent Aldermen/lady and an experienced city manager build a comprehensive, friendly government on the solid foundation of tradition and history.
