Problem Solved
About six weeks ago I received a telephone call from a resident whose property bordered the sewer construction project on Ferndale Street. The construction project on the street was extensive and involved the complete removal of the street surface and sanitary sewer system. It was a messy but necessary project and it was now nearing completion. The resident was not satisfied with the manner in which the green belt area adjacent to her property had been restored.
The End of Office Hours
My test run of keeping semi-regular office hours met with limited success. Over the course of three months, only one person came to meet with me.
As a result, I will no longer be keeping those hours. But I am always interested in hearing from anyone interested in talking with me. You can contact me through this website or you can get my telephone number from the Rochester area phone book and give me a call.
I will be glad to talk or meet with anyone who expresses and interest and I look forward to hearing from you.
Modified Office Hours
After testing some semi-regular “office hours” in the month of June, I have decided to change those hours to a time that might be more effective. My new office hours will coincide with regularly scheduled council meetings, which are normally held at 7:30pm on the second and fourth Mondays of each month.
For the months of July and August, I will be present at 6:30pm on the night of each council meeting. Please feel free to stop by and talk with me at your convenience. ince a number of citizens normally come to the council meeting, my thought is that scheduling my “office hours” at this time might be more convenient for more people.
Please feel free to contact me about any concerns you have. I also like to hear suggestions about how we can improve city services or reduce costs.
My goal is to help improve the city and to make it a better place for everyone.
