Keep It Simple

The Greeley City Council had a short meeting tonight. There was little to talk about on the agenda and the consent agenda had few items pulled.

The new mayor, Tom Norton, was not at the meeting, so there was a new arrangement to the council tonight. At the meeting on Monday, John Gates, Councilmember Ward III, was elected for the pro-tem position. This position allows Gates to run the City Council meeting when the mayor is not present. Gates was the acting mayor for tonight's meeting.

Donna Sapienza, Councilmember Ward II, recognized students who participated in UNC's Third Annual Embracing Community, Together. Sapienza was excited to hear about students who have been volunteering and getting involved with the Greeley community.

Sapienza asked Rick Brady, City Attorney, to inform the council about the Poudre Heritage Foundation, a non-profit cultural preservation organization that a few UNC students help volunteer for. The Railroad Museum is one of the several cultural landmarks that this organization is helping to maintain and expand. This organization helps bring people to Greeley to spend money in local establishments.
