Mayor Hall seeks disaster‑response volunteers, previews Mayor’s Ball and urges Ward 5 turnout for election
Summary
Mayor Hall and city leaders asked residents to sign up as volunteer disaster responders, announced the Mayor’s Ball for December and urged Ward 5 residents to vote in an upcoming election. The council also praised outreach efforts and encouraged community participation.
Mayor Hall and other city leaders used part of the meeting to promote a local volunteer disaster‑response effort and to preview upcoming community events.
Mayor Hall said the city is starting a volunteer program to respond to disasters — storms or structure fires — and asked residents to sign up through City Hall so trained volunteers will be available locally when incidents occur. “We are asking for volunteers to sign up so that when disaster happens or strikes here in our city, we have people right here in our city that are able to get out there, get on feet, and help,” the mayor said.
The mayor also announced the third annual Mayor’s Ball, scheduled for Dec. 20, and said last year’s event raised $3,000; this year the mayor’s office hopes to raise more for community projects. Mayor Hall and other council members encouraged turnout on an upcoming election day for Ward 5 representatives and reminded residents that Ward 5 continues to have representation even where a city council seat has been vacant.
Ending: The mayor asked residents to contact City Hall to volunteer for disaster response and to support community events; no formal action or vote was taken during the announcements.
