Students from Mr. Stangle’s eighth-grade Civics classes met one day recently at City Hall instead of in their classroom. They heard from the mayor and the city clerk about how city government is run, how the city operates, and some about the history of our city. Several of the students returned to witness a city council meeting, the evening of Tuesday, Oct. 4. Pictured is police chief Jim Frilstad addressing the council as the students look on.
