Citizens of Merriam Woods to hold community meeting

Citizens of Merriam Woods are invited to a community meeting to discuss several topics of importance to area residents.

First on the agenda is a discussion of the upcoming mayoral appointment. One purpose of the meeting is to seek input on who citizens would like to see as Mayor of Merriam Woods, in order to petition the board of alderman.

The second order of business will be a discussion regarding the current board of alderman, involving transparency, honesty, treatment of former employees and other key concerns.

The final item on the agenda for the community meeting is discussion of the possible disincorporation of Merriam Woods. While another public meeting will be held at a later date to discuss this topic, this meeting will allow community members the opportunity to compile a list of questions to pose to county commissioner Shane Keys, who has offered his assistance as community members work towards this end. State Representative Brian Seitz has also offered his support and knowledge to the community in this matter.

The community meeting will be held on Tuesday, August 5, beginning at 6 p.m. at the Dell Showers Community Center.
