Tennille Mayor and City Council discussed preparations for the first Tennille Town Hall Meeting during their Monday, January 17 meeting.
The first meeting is scheduled for Saturday, January 29 at noon for citizens of District One in Tennille.
As previously reported by WACO 100, the Mayor and Council set dates for the town hall meetings earlier this month; those meetings will be conducted based on districts within the city and are designed to get the citizens of Tennille engaged.
“We want to hear what they [the citizens] have to say,” said Mayor Eartha Cummings during the January 17 meeting. She added, “We want their input.”
Each month, the City of Tennille will conduct a town hall meeting for a particular district on the last Saturday of the month.
“Those meetings are open to everyone, but they’re geared toward the specific districts,” explained Mayor Cummings, adding that the elected officials from the particular districts will be present during those meetings.
The dates for the Tennille Town Hall Meetings are as follows:
– District One: Saturday, January 29
– District Two: Saturday, February 26
– District Three: Saturday, March 26
Mayor Cummings stated that the goal is to have the Town Hall Meetings prior to the City Council’s retreat scheduled for later this spring.
“We want more citizen engagement,” said Mayor Cummings. She noted that feedback received during the Town Hall Meetings will be used during the Council’s retreat. “Ultimately, our citizens will see their ideas come to life.”
The Tennille Town Hall Meetings will take place at noon at the Tennille Fire House located at 110 Park Street in Tennille on the dates provided.
