About Us
Working with city residents
Charles Patricelli seeks out residents that have special skills and abilities or just has a passion to help make the city better. Since joing the council he has established the Parks Committee, Finance Committee, Tree Committee and the Opiod Committee. Using our residents we have worked together and accomplished so much in such a short period of time.
First impression
You never get a second chance to make a first impression. That is why Councilman Patricelli is so interested in how our city looks. If we are to attract businesses, new residents and keep them we need to make the city attractive. Who would want to raise their children when there are derelict parks, run down homes, etc.
