Council Meeting 10/16/2007

All is well this week as we just completed our meeting last night dealing with issues for the City of Guthrie. The city manager gave a very complete year end budget report and the city was under budget and showed increased revenues over last year a good position to be in. However with the positive comes the reality of moving forward with dealing with failing infrastructures and working towards future repairs and the need for an increased water treatment plant. The rest of the council and myself are working diligently to perform this act while trying to reduce the impact of cost against the citizens of Guthrie a difficult job but one we are working hard to perform.

The other main issue is the Centennial Celebration's that are to occur in the Month of November. The City staff has been working very hard to make all the accommodations and they have done an extremely good job performing these duties. If anyone has questions regarding parking, volunteering, or just anything in general please feel free to contact the City.

I really appreciate the opportunity afforded to me to be able to serve my Ward and my community. This is my first Blog so I will try to improve from here on out.
