The mayor and board of aldermen meeting is a gathering where the mayor, along with a group of elected aldermen, come together to discuss and make decisions on various matters concerning the local government. The meeting serve as a platform for the mayor and aldermen to discuss important issues, review reports, propose and vote on ordinances, budgets, and policies, and address the concerns of the community. The mayor presides over the meeting, often providing updates on current projects and initiatives, while the aldermen contribute their perspectives, ideas, and expertise. The meetings are open to the public, allowing community members to attend and provide input or voice their concerns during designated public comment sessions. This collaborative forum ensures transparency, accountability, and democratic decision-making in governing the local community.
