Trial Office Hours

by David Zemens on June 4, 2008

sans-tempo.jpgAs most of you know, a city council person in Rochester is a part time position. Most members of the council have full time jobs, but still manage to put in the many hours necessary to be an informed city council person. These hours include, but are not limited to:

  • Reading meeting agendas & minutes
  • Regular City Council meetings
  • Downtown Development Authority meetings
  • Planning Commission meetings
  • Older Persons Commission meetings
  • RARA meetings
  • RAYA meetings
  • Misc other meetings
  • Community events
  • Recognition dinners
  • Correspondence reading & responding

The list is practically endless. One of the things that suprised me the most after I was appointed to city council was the time required to stay on top of the issues.

Stop in and Visit with Me

One of the promises I made during the campaign last fall was to keep regular office hours. Beginning this Friday, June 6th, I will be at the city council chambers from 2:00pm – 4:00pm. I intend to keep these hours for the month of June, after which time I will evaluate how effective those hours are.

Please stop in and visit with me. I look forward to meeting with you.
