City Communications and Townhall Meetings

In October's Mayor Message, Mayor Maxton discusses the importance of effective communication between residents and the City.

"I believe one of the most important requirements of a city government is to establish effective ways to communicate with its residents. Providing information from the city is essential to keep residents informed, but communication is a two-way procedure, and feedback from residents to the city is also key to this process."

You can read Mayor Maxton's entire message, including the best ways to receive communications from the City and a look at what the first community Town Hall meeting will cover, here.

Congratulations, Lt. John Ojeda, for 15 years of service!

Lt. John Ojeda's 15 years began in August 2007 when he joined the Fair Oaks Ranch Police Department. Now a Navy veteran, his time with FORPD saw him deploy with the Navy twice. He received too many awards and medals during these deployments to name here! Lt. Ojeda is also a Master Peace Officer, a Law Enforcement Management Institute graduate, and has been awarded the Life-Saving Award by the City.

Thank you, Lt. Ojeda, for all you have done for our Country, City, and Community!
