FROM THE TOWN MANAGER’S OFFICE CITIZENS ACADEMY
COMMUNITY OUTREACH AND ENGAGEMENT
Mayor Armstrong hosted our kickoff session of the 2026 Citizens Academy last Wednesday. We have 14 participants, which for the first time, includes a youth representative from the High School. Mike and Jessi have done a great job of partnering with the departments to create an interactive and information packed six-week curriculum with optional tours. We thank you, Council, for agreeing to host an evening. We look forward to seeing you there and join us any night you wish!
This is an important part of our work in the Town Manager’s office. The topics range from streets projects and signage, to the Airfield, the Tax Audits, employment processes, parks maintenance, and development projects - just to name a few. When citizens have questions or concerns, it is our chance be responsive and create a positive connection building appreciation for the town organization that is founded on service. Mayor Armstrong is always willing to join me in face-to-face meetings whenever it is beneficial, and it often is. I thank Mike who is our frontline, ever-present ambassador of goodwill ensuring that needs are met, questions are answered, and everyone always is heard. If this is the only interaction a resident or business owner has with the town we will make sure they know we are here to serve!
ANNUAL VOLUNTEER APPRECIATION EVENT
RYAN ANDERSON – PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR Will be held on Thursday, May 28 at 3 PM at Triple 3 Farms STARTS JUNE 1 & Events. We are incredibly fortunate to have an army of volunteers serving our town in departments ranging from the Animal Shelter, to PD, to Library and more. The impact they have is far reaching and allows the Town to provide a level of services which simply wouldn’t be able to do without them. This reception is an opportunity for us to show our support and appreciation for all our volunteers do. We ask you to join us and extend your thanks to them personally.
We are counting down to the June 1st start date of our new Public Works Director Ryan Anderson who I expect to hit the ground running. We contracted with Ryan to do advance work familiarizing himself with our emerging IWMP, CIP and the FY26/27 proposed budget. He dove into those tasks with enthusiasm, returning a comprehensive list of questions that demonstrate his vast knowledge and experience in all things water, wastewater, and public works. We are working on a detailed onboarding process to help Ryan get established quickly and he will be formally introduced to you at the June 9 Council meeting.
KUDUS TO COMMUNITY SERVICES ON SUCCESSFUL FIRST EVER TOUCH-A-TRUCK EVENT
On Saturday with over 30 vehicles and pieces of equipment for display and interaction. If you missed it – you missed out! Big trucks and big rigs. Kids big and small had a blast climbing into cabs and honking horns. The helicopter fly-in was a highlight. We appreciate the support of agencies and the private sectors. Great job team!
