City plans all-ward forum Saturday

Residents will have a chance to hear updates on key city issues and ask questions directly of Elgin leaders during an all-ward meeting this weekend.

The citywide gathering Saturday, July 19, will run from 9 to 11 a.m. and be hosted by City Council members at the Elgin Independent School District Administrative Building, 1002 N. Avenue C. Moderators for the open town hall will be Elgin residents Jessica Jaimes and Roger Adams.

Mayor Theresa McShan is scheduled to deliver opening remarks, followed by updates on city finances, staffing and governance. Other priority topics will include the upcoming budget, proposed changes to the City Charter and annexation discussions involving Bastrop County Emergency Services District No. 3, council members said earlier this month.
