JACKSON, Wyo. — This month’s Chat with Council event will take place on Wednesday, July 30, and will take up the topic of mandatory water restrictions in effect locally.
The event will be led by Mayor Arne Jorgensen and Town Councilmember Jonathan Schechter, and can be attended in person at the Town Hall or online via Zoom from 12 to 1 p.m. The Chat with Council is open for anyone to join.
On Monday, July 21, Town Council passed an emergency ordinance limiting water usage for irrigation purposes. Jorgensen told Buckrail the Council picks subjects for the chat that are either timely or something the community is beginning to think about in a more nuanced way.
“As a result of the action we took on Monday, it’s an opportunity for us to further engage with community members,” Jorgensen said. “Two people called me today to ask questions.”
Jorgensen said it gives both Council and the community a different format to ask questions and voice concerns. Subject experts are also typically present to provide additional information.
The monthly event, which is not an official Town Council meeting, is an opportunity for councilmembers and the mayor to engage with the community, answer questions and provide any updates available.
