North City’s newest mayor, Sam Wilson, wants everyone to know he’s not going to be wasting any time. “We were given a mandate to be a council that takes action and getting things done. We were told to be accountable to the taxpayers of North City and that’s just what we intend to do. We want everyone to know that, as a new city council, we hear you and we value your perceptives. We want to be seen as taking action. That’s why we are taking action as of today. Our first action item is going to be to form a new committee to address the need to take quicker action. We are calling it the Action Communication Committee.“

“The voters of this great city want to have a city council that seems like they’re doing something. Let’s face it: This city has a lot of problems that we, as elected officials, need to seem like we’re addressing. This new Action Communications Committee will be an important tool in helping people better understand all the work and funding that goes in to developing the numerous committees to talk about getting things done eventually.“

Wilson cautions that there are no strict deadlines for the formation of this new Action Communication Committee. “It has not been established exactly who will be sitting on it or when it will meet but, be assumed, action is being taken.”

“We can state, definitively however, that setting the stage to more effectively get things done eventually is our number one priority. And it is a priority we intend to address it as quickly as possible once the proper consultation has been completed and decisions have been made about funding. We want to be seen as more action-oriented than the last administration when it comes to the creation of effective spaces to talk about getting things done at some point.”
