Student Jacob Schmidt was the first to be the “Mayor’s Honored Guest” at Monday’s Jackson City Council meeting. The program, implemented by the city last month, provides an opportunity for junior high and high school students to visit a City Council meeting, sit with the Council, open the meeting by leading the flag salute, and learn more about city how government works. Students interested in being the Mayor’s Honored Guest must submit an essay or letter by the 25th to the city council as to why they would like to be the Mayor’s honored guest. Students are selected by a committee made up of the Mayor, a Councilmember, the City Manager and a member of the public or a teacher. “Honored Student Guest” nights are held at the first Jackson City Council meeting of the month, which is held on second Monday of the month starting at 7PM. For more information, call City Manager Mike Daly at 223-1646. of each month
