"We're just simply wanting to learn more about their long-range plans and those kinds of things," Hinton said. "I think we have to appoint or reappoint for that position on the Housing Authority Board, too, because those positions rotate on and off .. it's just kind of to get in closer contact with the Housing Authority. We don’t have a lot of close contact with them right now.

Council President Jeff Hogg also stressed the importance of maintaining an open dialogue with respect to what the future may hold.

"With a new mayor, Council, and city administrator, I feel that reaching out to community partners to discuss vision and long term planning is the key to continued partnership but also a thriving community," Hogg said.
