Ask The Mayor

Q. - You came to our co-op yesterday and told us all about the things you do as Mayor. You briefly said something about volunteer work that someone could do to help at city hall. I am very interested in helping in any way I can.

 

The only problem is, I don't live in Terrell, I live in Forney. So I was wondering if I was still allowed to work for the city of Terrell, or if I should look into volunteering for the city of Forney.

 

Thank you for your time.

Answer - Thank you for your inquiry. Local governments typically make a limited number of unpaid volunteer slots available. Sometimes these are Library positions, occasionally other Departments in a City have opportunities
available.

 

In order to limit your commute, our Assistant City Manager, Mike Sims, will reach out to the City of Forney to determine if they have any opportunities available before pursuing something with the City of Terrell. Please look forward to a follow up message directly from Mr. Sims. He can be reached at mikesims@cityofterrell.org.

 

I believe you will find that local government service is a wonderful way to make a contribution to your community.

 

Sincerely,

 

Hal Richards, Mayor
