What do you believe is the role of a Decatur City Council member?:
Member of the legislative branch which prioritizes the goals of Decatur to the Mayor. City Council is also supposed to represent the public with their interests and concerns.
However, not to overstep on day to day operations and division heads.
Please tell us your platform and key areas of focus for the Decatur City Council:
A more friendly business atmosphere for present and future businesses. Create a large agenda regarding quality of life issues and concerns, whether it’s infrastructure or recreation. Be more informative and available to the public, with a special concern for customer service based city government.
