I attended the regular City of Flat Rock Council meeting tonight. It was a pretty efficient and uneventful council meeting.

Of note to the Flat Rock Community Schools, the City Council passed its approval of the Homecoming Parade.

Otherwise, most of the evening was focused on looking for ways to reduce operational and energy expense throughout the City’s municipal facilities. Also, of interest was the setting of a Public Hearing to amend the DDA/TIFA Financing Plan.

I also had the opportunity to introduce myself to a few of the Council members I had not talked with before as well as briefly chat with Mayor Jones after the meeting.

I look forward to creating more of a collaborative partnership between the City Council and the Board of Education when I am elected.
