GLENN HEIGHTS - The governing body of the City of Glenn Heights has announced it will hold a Town Hall meeting Feb. 15.

The meeting is set for 7 p.m. at Shields Elementary, at 205 W. Ovilla Road.

The agenda calls for an open discussion, or question and answer period. The panel suggests the following items for the discussion:

n Utilities - Water (irrigation meters, master meter ordinance, electronic meters, rates, wholesale water) and sewer (rates, TRA Red Oak Plant)

n Public Works (organization, roads, sidewalks, meter reading, parks, Right-of-way maintenance, building inspections, animal control)

n Police (organization, staffing, equipment, services, dispatch, jail, code enforcement)

n City Manager (role and responsibilities, city charter, municipal court)

n Mayor and Council (role and responsibilities, economic development, lawsuits, recall)

Several members of the council were targeted in a recent recall drive, while Glenn Heights City Manager Dennis McDuffie drew fire and instigated a rash of employee and volunteer resignations by firing former Glenn Heights Fire Chief Mike Burgett without notice.
