Notes From the US Conference of Mayors Meeting

From June 12 through 16, the Mayor attended the Annual US Conference of Mayors Meeting. This meeting of Mayors covers a variety of subjects and sharing of information which can be quite useful.

In particular interest at this meeting were discussions relating to Mortgage Foreclosures, Federal Stimulus Funds Programs, Climate Control/Green Programs, and Transportation. Several new pieces of proposed federal laws were reviewed and commented upon. Additionally, new products and services were presented, some of which are offered for a reduced price or even free. Information about possible grants and technical assistance was made available. Numerous contacts are made which can be very useful.
