PARMA, Ohio – Mayor Tim DeGeeter will be “in” on Wednesday, March 27 – hosting Parma residents in his office at City Hall from 4:30 – 6:30 p.m.

The event is part of the Mayor’s In, Mayor’s Out program in which DeGeeter hosts residents in City Hall every other month, and on alternate months, meets with residents at a public event in the city.

On March 27, Parma residents can sign up in the lobby of City Hall beginning at 4 p.m. Then, at 4:30, each resident will have five minutes to talk to the mayor one-on-one. Residents can bring concerns, comments or kudos to the mayor, and all are welcome.

If an issue requires the expertise of a particular department director, it will be brought to the attention of that director by the mayor. Then, shortly after the event, every resident who participates will receive a follow up from DeGeeter and one from the appropriate director, if applicable, addressing the issue that was raised.

“I want to use this program to help residents feel closer to their local government and to encourage them to actively participate,” DeGeeter said. “When I was a legislator, I often said the best ideas came from the constituents I served. And, as mayor, I still believe that that is true.”
