SPECIAL EDITION! Community Conversations’ show host Connie Hunter interviews Brookings City Manager Gary Milliman and Parks and Technical Services Supervisor Tony Baron about the City’s 2015 highlights and accomplishments. With much angst about “no new taxes,” this conversation demonstrates the importance of stable, transparent governance and the benefits of well-managed fiscal and pro-growth policy. Find out how your tax dollars are being put to good use and building our community!
This special episode provides a closer look into the hard work of our City staff members and why they are pleased with their long list of stellar strides in the areas of public works, parks, and creating community vitality for local citizens and visitors to our area. Gary and Tony provide an enthusiastic sneak peak into 2016 and what good things are in store for our special rural small town!
