Because city government is the government closest to most citizens and the one with the most direct daily impact on its residents, it is important that residents understand how their city operates, the services it provides, and the importance of their active involvement. The theme “My City: I’m Part of It, I’m Proud of It” will guide this year’s activities.
“Florida City Government Week is an opportunity to help our residents become more informed about the many services we provide, which will lead to more knowledgeable citizen participation in the future,” Mayor JB Whitten Said.
Events planned for the week are:
Monday, Oct. 17, 6 pm, Warriors Hall- Special City Council Meeting recognizing local civic groups, clubs, non-profits, and faith-based organizations
Tuesday, Oct. 18, 6 pm, Warriors Hall- City of Crestview Leadership Training (LEAD) Graduation Ceremony
Wednesday, Oct. 19- Base Command Luncheon
Thursday, Oct. 20- Employee Training and Appreciation Day (city facilities will be closed this day)
Friday, Oct. 21, 8:30-10 am, Back Home Bakery- Coffee with City Leadership: one on one conversations with elected officials and the city manager (free coffee during the event)
Florida City Government Week, sponsored by the Florida League of Cities, is a weeklong celebration that raises awareness about the importance of municipal government and its daily impact on residents. The League is the official organization of the municipal governments in Florida.
