Area residents who attended the Breakfast with the Mayor at 8 a.m. July 14 at Hacker’s Grill, 310 N. Plaza Drive, could ask questions of the mayor, another council member, police personnel, the city attorney and Paws and Claws Care Center animal control officials.
“Anybody who has a problem or concern or wants to get involved, this is the place to do it,” Apache Junction resident Liz Sloan said at the breakfast.
It was the first Breakfast with the Mayor that she has attended, Ms. Sloan said.
“Honestly I’ve been wanting to come to one but this is the first one I’ve been able to come to that I am not at work. Since he started doing them, I think it’s an awesome idea. He gets to meet with constituents and gets to meet with local people and in a setting like this people are more apt to give suggestions or ask questions. So I think it’s a great thing that Jeff does,” she said. “A lot of people are afraid to go to a council meeting or a school board meeting and ask a question or air a grievance. In a setting like this, everybody’s represented for the city, you’ve got police, the dog catchers.”
