Former officials highlight local volunteer drives, library programs and holiday events
Summary
Former Vice Mayor Mark Spence and former Commissioner Beverly Williams used public comment to promote transparency in contract review, volunteer recruitment, and library and senior programs including Tai Chi and Black History workshops.
Former Vice Mayor Mark Spence urged the commission to seek external help reviewing the city attorney’s contract and said he was concerned that the finance director was told to 'keep quiet' when asked about the matter. He encouraged the commission to use available resources when evaluating contracts.
Former Commissioner Beverly Williams described community programs including a planned six-week Tai Chi course through the Area Agency on Aging, Friends of the Library activities and classes on quilting and Black History, and asked residents to sign up to volunteer. Williams also recounted a recent local charity event and encouraged city staff and residents to promote future events through the city website.
