are many different aspects to serving on the Board
of Aldermen. As
an Alderman-at-Large, Marcia is elected by and represents the city

a whole, although
she lives in Ward 2. Each Alderman also serves on two or three Board
committees, where much of the 'nuts and bolts' work of the Board
gets done.

meetings on the first and third Monday of each month, with some variations
during the summer and to accomodate holidays.
PROGRAMS
