Milton: Changes Coming to City Hall

Some new faces may soon be in positions with the City of Branson according to a statement from City's Mayor.

In a statement sent late last week to the Branson Tri-Lakes News, Larry Milton says that the past two elections has directed he and the board to listen to their concerns and make sure that the city government serves the people properly. Milton in the statement said that he and the board have a plan that they are ready to implement.

The statement did not specify which positions would be affected and when the changes would begin, though according to current list of meetings posted to the City's Website no Board of Aldermen Meetings are scheduled prior to the next regular meeting on April 26.

Mayor Larry Milton is scheduled to be a guest Tuesday on KRZK's "Ozarks Now" program at 11:30 am.

The complete statement and story from the Branson Tri-Lakes News is below:

Branson Mayor Larry Milton sent a statement to the Branson Tri-Lakes News announcing staff changes will be coming to Branson City Hall.

The mayor’s statement said he is acting on the “concerns” of citizens who voted for him and new aldermen in the last two years.

Here is Mayor Milton’s statement in full:

Over the coming days and weeks you will notice some staff changes at City Hall. When you elected me to be your Mayor, and you elected a new Board of Aldermen over the past two years, you voiced your concerns loud and clear and we are going to act on them. 

It is your Board’s intent that from the top down you have a City government that serves YOU, the people of Branson. None of the changes you’ll be seeing are personal in nature, and in all cases every attempt is being made to make sure all individuals involved can part on good terms. 

I want to make one thing very clear to all of our citizens: We’ve got this. Your elected Board and Mayor have a plan, and we are ready to implement it. We are excited for the future of our staff at City Hall, our citizens and the city we all love.

The City of Branson government will be one of the people, by the people and for the people. That includes the Mayor, Board and staff. We are here to serve you, and we are committed to bringing you quality service like never before. 

If you have questions, comments or concerns, as always reach out to myself or your elected Aldermen. We will do our best to provide answers to your questions in a timely manner. That’s it for now, but stay tuned for continued updates about changes being made in your city government. As always, it’s a pleasure to serve you.
