During the past few years, I have been meeting with those who participate at the Tooele Senior Center on the first Monday of each month for a discussion called “Monday with the Mayor”. The participants have been informed about how the City operates and what is going on city-wide. The meetings have been so successful that I have decided to organize a “Monday with the Mayor” event at City Hall on a monthly basis.
I invite you to join me at 7:00 p.m. on the first Monday of each month, here at City Hall or on our YouTube Channel to listen to a short presentation on a specific subject and then I will ask for questions from the residents about that topic. You can submit questions in advance until 4:00 p.m. on the day of the meeting to mondaywiththemayor@tooelecity.gov I will be joined by a few members of the City Council as well as staff and employees who can help answer questions. We hope that citizens will find this helpful in getting the true information rather than fake news from other sources.
Sincerely,
~Mayor Debbie Winn
