WILLIAMS—The Williams Mayor’s Advisory Group met tonight at the Williams City Council Chambers. Although they did not have a quorum, they discussed a variety of topics.

One topic discussed was recommendations for community service projects for future members. Included in the discussion was a watering schedule for the seeds and planting the group conducted at the St John’s Community Garden.

They decided, also, to induct new members at their next meeting on Monday, July 8th. Clint Mann and Caitlyn Fritsinger were at the meeting as potential new members to replace those on the committee who have graduated high school. At their last meeting, Kaitlyn White and Katie Ellico were recommended as possible new members.

The Mayor’s Youth Advisory group is an opportunity for high school Sophomore to Senior grades to learn about city government by participation. Any person in high school or other young citizens of the community are welcome to attend meetings to make suggestions or participate in the group community service activities outside of the meeting.
